I tripped while texting
Stuttered and fractured my thumb
Dropped and broke my phone

  'tween a goose and a gander
I stuttered and stammered ~
  'til out burst my dander...

uttered fluttered flame still ignited 
    as summer stuttered steps faded;  
      held my anguished face, 
        muttered and laid a breath kiss.

His court case came fast and quick
The judge didn't fall for a single trick
He still stuttered and lied
Then he broke down and cried
Now serving thirty-years for each lick...

Three legged dog stuttered into the bar
Barked with a limp which most thought a flaw
He soon found his voice 
and stated with choice
“I’m looking for the man who shot my paw”...

So confident that he'd pass the test

Claimed his oral essay was the best 

He yammered and muttered

And stammered and stuttered

But half way through he puked on his desk...

Her ancient  black cat 
Greets   yet one
  more day
Sitting beside 
  her old caretaker.
Both   have stuttered 
  to the dawn  of day...
'Tis one more beauty
gifted  to them,
  the tired ones....

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 warm breath,

existence quintessence sputtered, muttered

Shakespeare words of

I'm all of myself, uttered at once -
    stuttered regret at my lack of mystery
although 
   until now
I have never shared 
  that I can whistle "The Birdie Song"

           perhaps I'll have unexplored depths
    after any number of reveals...

The ancient cracking bookcase stuttered
Books trembled upon the shelves,
Then scattering across the rug bound floor
Where they took up new residence.

Those left in the bookshelf
started to rock back and forth
hoping to join the colonials on the floor....

Love, This sentiment that shapes me meek
many others tend to seek
With wonderment of mystique-
stuttered words I slipped to speak
’Til I heard him speaking softly;
tenderly and never crossly
Heart warming, lifting me so high...
I see love I shan’t deny....

I never thought I would miss you this much

Walking beside you

I felt protected

And in the gloomiest mornings

You spoke such reassuring words to me

Even if you stuttered or missed a step

It all was glorious

Can I walk another infinity with you?...

     Moses did not want to address Pharaoh
        He stuttered when he spoke
     He asked God, ‘Who am I that I should go’

     God said, your question shows your humility
        That's why you can speak for Me
           ~ Your words will have credibility

At a drive-thru, I'm asked if they can take my order
“I'd like a coffee with six sugars and no comments, you porkers”
The voice stuttered like a goober
“Did you say SIX SUGARS???”
“You have a problem with that? Look, everyone has their own disorders!”...

Sinking into the warmth of the bed
Idly breathing and fading in and out
The intermittent lights of passing cars
Scan across the ceiling and the wall
Photocopying the room
Capturing moments
Creating frames
For a stuttered animation
Of my descent into sleep

I am sure that it waits
in the shadow of a word
or a phrase lingering somewhere
in the memory of an afternoon
when, having missed the moment,

it stuttered a breath away 
from form, hidden
except for a disturbance left
upon the mind like
lifting wings leave in air....

A hazy full moon sighs
As poets search
For her beauty
Lose it in
Syllabic paralysis
Stuttered
Alliteration
Conjures up images
Stolen
From magazine covers
A barn owl
Cherishes
Her shadows
Wolf eyes
Reflect her gaze
A silent lake
Swallows her
Apparition
As frogs
Recite
Her poetry

Your old sleeveless cut-off
is still hanging on my doorknob
and when she came over
yesterday
we both saw it
-kind of awkward actually
-kind of funny actually
she stuttered,
trying to make things right between us
I didn't say much
poor,poor girl
Doesn't she remember how
bad you treated me?...

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.

with prayers of thanksgiving she uttered
words that flowed freely, nearly fluttered
gentle verses spoken so she never stuttered
glowing praises to God that she muttered

Tonight twilight retraced 
our frozen cradle
that rocked beneath 
a barren lover's moon.
Bewildered shivers stuttered 
breath unable to seep between 
Denial's teeth so soon.

Transfixed by passing, 
seized by change 
I'm paused over 
a foundation ceased, 
it never fell. 
I beg new dreams call me to cause
before this emptiness 
chips through Hope's 
fragile shell....
