The Sound of Poetry.

Gentle hum of the traffic in the background..
For what is poetry but the sound?
Sensitive ears I have found.
Mother nature's creatures hearing's amplified.
Birds can hear a mate kilometers away.
Dogs can hear sounds human beings cannot.
Sounds,hearing,listening to the right message.
Comprehending what was intended to be portrayed.
The comedy + sometimes tragedy of misinterpreting.
Sound is poetry. Poetry is Sound of the spoken word.
Poetry words are words are written to be heard.
Listen to the sounds of words.
