Sign Language

fingers fly
communicating
I speak to you without words
my disability overcome
the joy of understanding
now my way of life
sign language

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

The first word might have been UGHH! What could be more communicating - "Sign language," of course. Good work. LOve, daver

I like this one, Barbara. I've watched with fascination people who use sign language. In the parlance of those who speak with vocals, they are very talkative! They go through the sign language with such animation it's mesmerizing...:-). Good luck in the contest!
