LINES SENT ABOVE A WORK TO BE CONSIDERED BY A READER'S THEATER

A Poem by Glen Fitch

   

    Go little poem.
        Go sneak into each ear
        and vellicate the lobe
            with vowels that chime
        or blow upon the drum
            to make them hear,
                not see (tug eyelids shut)
            the rising climb of consonants,
            the echo of each rhyme.
        Make lips and tongue
            trace words that must evade.
        Make fingers beat
            to dancing feet in time
            With bouncing brow
                as syllables cascade.
            Then, maybe,
                judgment can be stalled, delayed,
                Conventions circumvented.
                    Quick!
                        Outrun the hasty glance
                        and dull the urge to grade,
            before they say
                 "This simply can't be done."
            Go, sprite!
                Assure them that they needn't fear.
                Release their hearts.
                    I'm lonely. Bring them near.

Wow! This is so cool! I love how its places, it's like lines are dancing along to the words :D
It's really awesome and I like the words you chose, they're not as common so they sound fresh, just like a new song :P anyway, it's got a great flow and I really like it!
