Bravo! An enlightening and empowering verse that should resonate and encourage those who are, "Unable to amplify the voice shouted within,"--quite powerful! Thanks.

Thank you for your fine review. I am humbled that you found my verse "enlightening and empowering."
Comment from LIJ Red
Again the notes are essential to the meaning. I prefer to absorb my poetry from a paper page or rarely an LCD display, but readings I encourage as part of the process. An excellent pep talk.

Thanks, for your thoughtful review. I absorb poems on the page, on the stage, on an LCD display, and on audio. I get them any way I can. Thanks.

Hie Sis Cat,
It seem you have been through it all.
"I saw..., I felt..., I heard..."
and yet you still express a wish to: " It's even better
to hear you"
Great line of insight.
Keep writing. Keep smiling. From Praise000

Thank you very much, Praise000, for your fine review and six star rating. My poem lists the various poets whom I have seen perform their poems by any means necessary. I am glad my poem moved you.

This poem is fascinating in its originality.
Your words evoke such strong imagery.
A wonderful poem that tells of disabled people reciting their works no matter their disability. Well done Sis Cat. Warm regards, Wendy.

Yes, Wendy, my poem is not only for poets with disabilities but for everyone who fears being heard. I am glad my poem fascinated you.
Comment from Glasstruth
Read your author notes which gave me a better understanding; and I think it's a fear of being accepted which gives stage frght to those who doubt themselves. Practice makes for easier nerves. All the different poets you mention show it's a sharing experience. I think we're all poets at heart. Enjoyed the flow and topic. Les

Thank you, Les, for your review. Yes, fear and silence are the two enemies of poets.

Their disabilities do not mean all their attributes and abilities are affected, how courageous they are. But, they are able to get their message across to the public, how admirable. Well chosen words and great message. Faye

I have to say, when I read your piece the words resonated within me one way. When I went to watch you recite, the experience was completely different. You voiced the words accentuated so much differently than I heard the words in my heart. Regardless, this is a wonderful piece of writing and one you should be proud of. Be well. xoxo Kiwi

Only way to get noticed is open your otherwise scaredy cat mouth and let your poems be heard. Action flows smoothly. Easy to follow story line and good advice provided. Write on.

Comment from Dom G Robles
I see different images in this poem. The writers varied pictures tell me of
his views about poets, how they go about in their own respective trades.
He uses figures of speech that are admirable. I saw pretty well what he was saying. Congratulations.

Andre,
My words cannot convey or even express the beauty and the emotive value of this exquisite work. Your personal experience bring to us the meaning of intense living and value. It knocks on our door with the force of a hammer. It demonstrates the power of the human spirit and the worth of our words organized in poetic expression. To those who defy the odds of failure determined to release their wings to fly on the currents of beautiful words. You inspire me to continue on.
Incredible is all I can say right now..
