Silent Poet

Says shes the silent poet

The type that never screams.

Her words never speak

They just leap from the page

And attack you mentally.

Her beauty is puzzling

No not her pyshical

But the way she crafts herself in imagery

Never explored

But always exposed through her

Careless gramatical mistakes.

Each mispelled word

Is more then just a shirt hanging off of her shoulder.

Every ink blot is more then just a tear dried over.

And all that she is

Is more then a silent poet.

Excellent writing. I love the idea of the silent poet crafting herself in imagery. I have worked a lot with kids who have trouble spelling and I hate the way some people equate this with lack of intelligence or creativity. The description of the shirt hanging off the shoulder fits beautifully. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.

I'm very happy that you shared that with us. I suffered from a learning disability as a child adn it discouraged a lot of people from wanting to teach me basic skills such as reading, writing, and tying my shoes. I admire people who go out of their ways and can see the beauty in a young mind. I've over come a lot. Some things are in fact just careless mistakes and me not checking fro errors. But yeah ;) Thanks
