Poetry

“To send a thrill of electricity through each of my listeners, I aspire.

My words are the electrodes.

My cadence, the tempo I want their hearts to match.

At the core, spoken word is performance poetry, often written on a page and best experienced from a stage.

And this is more.

This is awakening work. Nurturing work.

Both fierce and gentle.

This is Raw Honey.”

I. Love. Words.

I can’t help it.

Letters make syllables that form morphemes to build a sentence.

That’s magical to me.

How if I let one word

tumble off my tongue

and linger in this room,

I can conjure enough memories

to fill the deepest canyons of the Andes.

That’s power.

The ability to enter into minds

with the gentle stroke of a sharpened pencil

and lift you from your seat in outrage

or transport you to another dimension

just by tapping

your imagination.

from “Words”
