DSN. A poem. #stutter
A voice may tremble on its way to air,
A syllable may wander, pause, return;
Yet every halted sound holds courage there,
A heart that rises, choosing still to learn.

No1. #poem. #StammeringInWar
In the din of war, where voices rise,
A soldier’s words falter, caught in ties.
Bullets fly, and commands are clear,
But their tongue stumbles, gripped by fear.

A soldier’s words falter, caught in ties.
