She sits at her computer and writes dumb poetry
Words that have lain silent atop of her brain
Unable to travel down to her vocal cords

In the night, dumb words flow from her fingers
Where digital letters form digital sentences
Her fingers learn to walk, taking baby steps

Her first words, not too easily understood
Except by other keyboard toddlers
Whose muted words, also have found the expressway

(And I know you must think this a dumb poem.)

Hiya, Lady.   This is not a dumb poem, but it is a wonderful vent about what you think is a dumb poem and what you think is dumb poetry.   Umm..I hope I'm making sense here. Tonight just doesn't seem to be my night for communicating my thoughts or confidence. I enjoyed this!

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since
