If someone stutters that you meet
Just think of it like it's a treat
You might extol 
It's a drum roll
Keeping you on the edge of your seat!...

With a mouthful ,of fresh peanut butter
Two slices of bread

I’ve an inkling to stutter and stammer
In an effort to subjugate grammar.
For although I love words
I adore the absurd
Punctuated, pauses; tend to, enamour....

His first long meeting was about beatings
His second long one was about greetings
Not a stutter
He did mutter,
"I just now went to, two, too long meetings!"...

Blond, with a stutter was my steady
Plump and firm but cuddly as a teddy 
I wanted her so 
By the time she said na na na no
I had done it twice already

Butterfly Wings Flutter and Flutter

Butterfly has been in gutter, 
But still will flutter and flutter;
Flowing,
While growing;
Sounds like wings did stutter.

Love-
Walk a park?
Putrid fruits?
Butterflies- inferno?
None of the above

Frown, dear love.
Frown.

In love-twitch,
Twitch.
Quaver, Stutter
Unsound 

Poetic lines, cherished love....

Who drove both her parents insane,

I hope she is ready to hear it
How will she take it, who knows?

I once had a butler so dapper
He had but a slight stutter
On the grounds we once walked
To find treasure of sorts
Wh.. wh.. he stuttered
I know I countered
Then why'd you step on it
He questioned...

A candy shaped heart
Sweet sounding words "I Love You"
You are mine to taste

A rose there in thorns
Light in Pink Highlights dark reds
Enhanced in True Love

Stuttering my speech
Is it Heaven wrapped Stellar
This kiss you gave me?...

Veins of mist
web and thicken 
to a clotted stutter
of images
slipping from words
into a fog
of quiet from where
a finger traces lines
in air as if mapping
what has been lost 
finally widening
to a circle
taking in
all of you....

Settle down, I'm your dentist, wanna see your chops
Your mind's in the gutter”
Then he started to stutter
Began to squim as she nibbled his naughty spots

Faeries flutter and stutter
My ears perk up
I sense them more than I see them

They slowly come into view
My peripheral vision gets the first glimpses
Dainty and determined 

One notices I see them.
Poof. They are gone.
Shy as a daisy chain....

We stutter, lisp and clutter
We are not vocal – mute…

We can be choppy, mumble words
Impaired rhythm, be automatic…

Distort our sounds, substitute, omit
Or string together made-up words…

And all impediments forgiven
But God forbid – to tell the Truth!...

Around you lost
in sense of time.
I stutter,
most un-poetic,
next words in line

Searching for factors
to ease the threat.
This silhouette sounds
so upset,
so dramatic,
such regret.

The insides
so traumatic.

To your static
I'm an addict.

To say it now
seems so pathetic....
