Stutter
I am a seven-
Year-old raging
River of emotions
My words trying to
Get out through the
Narrow gorge between
My teeth so I stutter words
Until my sister Penny tells
Me smart people stutter
Because their minds
Are so full of ideas
They cannot say
Them as fast
As they can
Think them
So slow a
Bit one
Word
At a time
After which
I stop stuttering
By crafting words
One at a time still a
Blabbermouth but more
Symmetrical in my speech.
