The Microphone
So many voices scream and shout Everyone wants to be heard But no one can hear Because we cancel each other out Voices with no words So many voices misunderstood Everyone needs to speak But no one can hear If only they could They think silence makes them weak So many voices loud and proud…

Faces in the Cup
Writing 201: Poetry is expanding my verbal acumen something serious. Today’s assignment is called a found poem. Basically, I look for phrases from random sources and make a poem. Some of this was found. That got to be tedious, so I wrote the rest of it out. My Word promp is faces. So, here it…
