Best Stuttered Poems
Stuttered speech
There was once a man, let’s call him Fitch,
He bought tapes that in sleep Spanish teach,
Tapes skipping during night,
The plan failed to play right,
And his Spanish was a stuttered speech.

Timid, gutless, young man feebly muttered
Then mustered spartan courage and puttered,
And fluttered he like a dove
And stuttered to say his love,
But "Shoo - Shoo!" pretty, beloved uttered.

Alliteration 004 (I prefer old poems) Poetry Contest
Poet Destroyer A
Limerick – Syllabic count: 10/10/7/7/10 syllables
When asked the difference
'tween a goose and a gander
I stuttered and stammered ~
'til out burst my dander
The moment we met our two hearts fluttered
So shy was I my words became stuttered
Rainbows covered the sky multicoloured
The exact moment love was discovered.
I could barely hear the muttered response
Yet I knew what you had uttered at once
Who needs poetry with fine fancy fonts
When the eyes say all a girl in love wants.
'Twas long ago, I no longer stutter
How I love the endearments you utter
In the quiet of night when you mutter
“I'm still the one who makes your heart flutter.”

Tempered by adversity
Angered by ignorance
Learning to cope
Heated by deliberate lies
Cooled by Atlantic breezes
Yearning to hope
To take or to make
Choices
Destroy or create
Voices
To tell us of places unseen Now no longer green
Waiting like yesterday’s children Hopelessly coping
Treading Waters Sons and Daughters
Of a forgotten Revolution
Taking instead of Making
A living with the earth that owns them
Freedom and Responsibility
No longer holding hands
Dancing on Thunder plains
In Steel Blue Helmets
