Stutter

WORD FOR TODAY: STUTTER
By Wole Popoola

The struggles we face daily, seem not to matter,
Our attempts they mock, our will they shatter.
Emotions get the better of us, and make us bitter,
Yet our resolve remains to soldier on in our stutter.
To rise above our fears, the chains we’ll shatter,
Not minding their eloquence, we’ll join the chatter.

And in

Poor Putter Who Would Stutter So Did Shutter

went on rampage
they never would act their age
creating much rage

what we always did dread
had nightmares sleeping in bed
more people were dead

when willow did weep
we would count the wooly sheep
soon were sound asleep

behind was facade
our minds they would seem to prod
God will love and laud 

in field sheep herder
fence supported by girder
news mentioned murder

such a poor

Premium MemberStand Up To Stutter

We have chosen a leader who stutters
too many only saw his speaking flaw.
Stumbling over stiff words as he utters
blurring his momentous messages of awe.

Accepting duty makes us who we are
so speak out only for what you believe.
Mounting the tall peaks so as to reach far
in service of others then you achieve.

Some search all around and

Love Proposed

He sat beside her in the park bench, 
On a beautiful balmy morning, 
Breezy and pleasant after a drizzle;
Birds came out of their temporary shelters, 
And chirped and chattered and whistled. 
A pair of butterflies in a tree nearby, 
Fluttered their pink and purple wings in joy, 
And danced around each other: a moment
So perfect,

Premium MemberLove Sucks

Single sexy stuttering simple sue,
Loved lean laughing lisping Lou,
She spoke softly slow sentences,
Lou lisped loud without pretences!

Often were out on romantic dates,
By heart and mind such good mates,
Joked and laughed their whole time,
Spoke in stutters and lisped in rhyme!

Said she one day in romantic note,
How do you likke mmmy leather coat?
He laughed lisped “ you

Skip and Stutter

final waltzing 
heartbeat beating
in one-two-three
     one-two-theee
skip and stutter

wrist bones creak
repeat the stance
there’s more to learn yet
in the filtered half-light
skip and stutter

mirrored twins
    shattered
pieces of collarbone
fracture into heaving shoulders
skip and stutter

without the crooning sonata 
she’s just a stupid, sad girl
spinning in infinite spirals
skipping
     and stuttering

About a Stutter

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!

When My Life Began To Stutter

My life began to stutter, when I began to clutter,
The Garage has taken on the appearance of an electronic graveyard,
No more room now for the car and finding the lawnmower
Yet another chore.
The smell of petrolium products now replaced with with that of rotting Cardboard and damp clothes.
My life began to stutter when I began to

Premium MemberTreating My Stutter

The book that’s my absolute favorite
is the most effective by far
after all my years of stuttering
having left many a inward scar

‘The treatment of stuttering’ on hardback
written by the renowned Charles van Riper
a former severe stuttered now it’s master
so hoping could be my stuttering wiper

Having tried many therapies in my life
none had much effect upon my

Stutter

Stutter, wait, see, where it will go, when the season rows. Ah the political rot. 
        Stay, support, the whispering, forgotten few, those who have not.
Sorry, word none to amend, they are lost, vote not available, duress.
        Rich man play, they

Stutter Step, Hands Open, Lights Fade, We Are Nothing In This Darkness

milestones are marked by photographs

by notches on door casings that show just how grown up we are getting

by midnights spent on front porch stoops with people we only half know drinking mixtures that taste as awful as they should but let the words and movements come fast and steady knowing that it's the only time

Stutter and Stuttering

Feeling your breath
Your skin
Your touch
Your hair

Hearing your voice
Your laugh
Your sobs
Your thoughts

Knowing you’re there
You’re near
You’re close
You’re in touch

You’re everything I know
But I wonder why
I still stutter and still stuttering
As I feel, hear, know you.

I'M Stellar When I Stutter

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?
