Last night, after our weekly support/practice group, I joined the group at a local watering hole. During that time, I challenged them to write poetry about stuttering, in the form of a Haiku. Here's what some of them came up with. What do you think?
Stutterers allowed
To be speaking here tonight
Those who don't, please fake
--
Stutterer's voices
Are like caged birds to be freed
Soaring in the skies

Stu-stu-stu-stu-stu-
stu-stu-stu-stu-stu-stu-stu-
stu-stu-stuttering!

Flowing through the words
Not something that comes easy
Story of my life...
--
Stand up and speak out
Your voice is one to be heard
Make the soul fearless.
