Communication Poems
Beyond Sound
by Aloo Denish Obiero
To hear is natural, to listen is an art.
To hear is instinctive, to listen is a skill.
To hear is automatic, to listen is intentional.
To hear is effortless; to listen demands mindfulness.

Hearing happens by chance; listening happens by choice.
Hearing is passive; listening is active.
Hearing is surface-level; listening is profound.
Hearing fills the ears; listening fills the mind.

It flows from a to b
Faster than printing alphabet letters
Saving time to set you free
Joining letters into words
A form of expressing one’s thoughts
Documents a perspective
That others may have brought

Speak to me, tell me/Мов мені, кажи мені (in Ukrainian)

потечу
по стеблу
від коріння й плачу

Invasive
by Brady Stewart
who decided it was a good idea
To separate the oceans.
Who decided it was a good idea?
Because rivers
Thoughts leaking
Will not succeed
In displacing the lionfish

To be a Bird
by Alexie Fin
an untouchable love;
tears shed by my faults.
no apology worthy,
as you’ve been my rocks.
i want you to be happy;
to return to your home.
I simply wish this community;
will appreciate your soul.
