You think he memorizes his stories?
All of them are made up right on the spot
Really, he takes a seed of truth and plants it in his imagination
Now his voice waters that seed and out of that grows amazing

Phone (an acrostic poem)
Perhaps the most antiquated name for such a modern device
Here is a pocket supercomputer
Or a way to send text messages around the globe in a blink of an eye
No one thinks its primary function is to hold a voice conversation anymore
Everyone keeps it on silent and never answers anyway
Speak (an acrostic poem)
Send your voice out into the world
Preach the truths that are on your heart
Embrace the things that make you, you
All I ask is that you let others take the floor
Know that their words need to be heard as well

Shout (an acrostic poem)
Slipping my voice into projection mode
Heaving my words into the void
Ordering the world to pay attention to me
Understanding that I’m just adding to the cacophony
Though it does make me feel better :>)

Remote (an acrostic poem)
Reaching out without touching
Enabling change without moving
More inventions using voice were created
Only they paled at the ability to point and click
The universe of television opened up
Even when you didn’t have kids to change the channel

Echoes (a 100 word story)
The parts taunted Ginger in Mr. Johnson’s voice as she stared at the pile. Somewhere in there was the robot she envisioned, but it was up to her to tease out that idea.
She started picking up motors and wires, controllers and microprocessors. One part after another got attached to the superstructure. Coding commenced, and the motors sprang to life.
After a few hard weeks she was done. What sat in front of her wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. It was better because it was her creation. Stick that in your face Mr. Johnson! Girls can do engineering!

Silence (a 100 word story)
The Silence snuck up on Deidre, and before she knew it, she was in its clutches. She tried to speak up, but no one could hear her. She tried to get anyone’s attention about her problem, but no one noticed. No one seemed to care why the Silence picked her.
Years later she finally broke through, finding her voice once again. By then no one wanted to believe what happened to her that had caused Silence to so viciously destroy her ability to communicate what had happened.
The Silence had won again and moved on to find its next victim.

Carrot (an acrostic poem)
Couldn’t be easier really
Asking for help with her honey sweet come hither voice
Reaching out to make sure they knew what she wanted
Really it shouldn’t always work
Obvious they never opened up their eyes
Till she beat them to death with her large stick

Defy (an acrostic poem)
Don’t let the world label you, become your own definition
Empower your own voice and speak up for your causes
Fortify your spirit of resolve and push on through
You might not know who you are yet, but you are still the expert on you
Whispers (an acrostic poem)
Waiting to hear your voice again
How is it I can’t remember it
I thought I would never be able to forget
Still I saved your last voicemail
Purposely so I would have at least one part of you with me
Even if it only said something about getting milk, you did say you loved me
Right now I would give anything to hear that again
Should have backed up my phone
