Voice Poems | Examples of Voice Poetry

I used to think poems lived in leather-bound books, guarded by professors with stern looks, that words worth speaking needed permission, academic citations, scholarly submission. I sat in corners swallowing syllables, choking on metaphors I couldn't pronounce, wondering why my tongue tied itself in knots while others spoke verses smooth as river stones. The first time I wrote something real, my hands shook like...

Curtain rises Rhythm and Tone The start off with the Pianist hitting those ivories with gifted fingers Melody enriched through Suddenly the Violin joined in with string mellow sweeps of musical waves Immediately the Trumpet added the flair of what music can create The thought of wizardry of wisdom came to mine Music freedom explored All other musical instruments gathered in high and...

I am that presence which cannot be named, walking without a broken stride no place for me to run or hide faced all that tried to hinder me now my voice make the devil flee I always loved from a place of truth releasing the pain my soul full of youth loving and accepting myself as a whole feeding and nourishing my hungry...

You know the colour of peace is white — And no wonder, white suits you so well. I live in a world woven with dark, And in its midst, you shine — Bright as the moon, Calm in my chaos, Light in my night. I’m really bad with words, Terrible at saying what I truly feel — So you might never know… That you’ve always...

Take your power women, and use it for good. Remember the times that we suffered with no path to grow. They made us work for free, and kill our children by abortion and lack of money to give birth. They made us choose life or death, by failing to give us choices. We needed free...

Apples the fruit of life, use to grow all over the earth. Now they have been killed and replaced to make the earth a place of cement. The juicy and lovely apple, was free to eat for those that choose it as a treat. Maybe they killed so many apple trees, to make us pay for them....

When it comes to spreading love throughout the world I like to think I’ve made that choice… but I often wonder if I’m succeeding after all…I’m just one voice. But then I remind myself how an oak tree begins as one acorn at first a little small and underrated… but from that one acorn a tree is born add more acorns and...

My tongue, a beast that bites me first. I wanna shut it down, never to speak again. My voice, a wild river, Yet keeps flooding, careless of consequence. My lips, in a race, while everyone hopes— “Would they ever learn silence?” My brain, too messy, Spills out without a thought. All cures, I’ve tried— Nothing worked. The words kept flying— Some hurt. Some haunt. Some hang in the...
