This is a cute one line poem for the contest. Good luck in the contest. I must have been born screaming as it seems many people think I have no voice. patricia

It is amazing how a simple sentence can bring so many thoughts of reflexion. Somehow we learned to shut our words, but our thoughts are still there, for what if we don't share them? That would be selfish wouldn't be? Nice work.

"I was born screaming, now I have no voice." This might be symbolism or have a double meaning. At first, I thought character loss his or her voice; but then poet might be speaking of how no body listens. Right? liberty justice

Born screaming... with things to say about all you were seeing. Love this imagery and the sobering truth of a voice taken away. Cute picture... but wonder if it completely enhanced this powerful poem? Just my two cents.., overall, great poem.

A picture speaks a thousand words, this point took the fullness of that statement and made real the voice of the wonderful creation, loved the picture inclusion.

A very interesting short write. Its an excellent entry for the one line poetry contest.
The philosophical message it conveys is quite apropos for the times.

Well done.

Yes! I wish they would listen with compassion to what we have to say -- what we want -- do we want to go to war? Do we want an egomaniac, prejudiced man as president? But they don't listen.
Hey, I like your one liner, good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver a thought provoking piece in a single line. There are several ways one can interpret this but I keep thinking about politics as it seems we have no voice any more. All the best in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hello Kahpot. This left me pondering what it truly means. It's like when we are born screaming it's because we hurt so there is no holding back what that pain is to us but now????? The older we get the less we speak to our needs... wow this one made me think! xoxo deborah

One of the things that impressed me about the film "The Darkest Hour" which I just saw about Winston Churchill is that when he was faced with politicians who demanded that Britain negotiate peace with Hitler to avoid an invasion, Churchill got out of his taxi on the way to Parliament and rode on the Underground so he could talk directly to the people and ask for their opinion. They told him "Never surrender." Churchill brought the people's message to Parliament, rousing his country to defy the Germans.

What impressed me about Churchill is that his gift as a statesman came partially from his ability and humility to listen to the people. As your poem points out the opposite now, we are born screaming but lack voices because the people in charge don't listen to us. This is a fine, imaginative poem on a pressing problem.

Thank you for sharing. I wish you much success with your imaginative one line poem entry.
