Long Public speaking Poems

Lust of the flesh is sin.
Sin is lust of the flesh.
Try repeating this one once.
What word was miss-pronounced?
Hearing is believing.
With fellowship and greeting.
Duffing our sacred billow caps.
To gifts of public speaking.
Thin ones borrow.
Plump ones lend.
Relieved,...

But you stood by...

Making sure she remembered all

She watched as the jail sentence fell

He cried in court, I am innocent

In the background, the...

I memorized my speeches and really knew them well
But between my brain and lips, things...

But the conscious mind reasons out that ICT can guide him.

Highlighted by Red wavy underline;

It reminds him of his choppy...

Quietly attended the words of not one but two poems I spoke.

Heights, the dark, loud noises, fleas;
Crowded places, public speaking,
Rocking chairs that won’t stop squeaking.

But he learned to cope
As he was a genius
Reading college level 
In the second grade

Yet, each is distinct when light pervades 

Kaleidoscopic changes and abound within
Beyond ingenious and...
