There is dignity in your voice very much. It has given beautiful brightness to this wonderful poetry. Those brightness is not lost forever. You are a great poet.

You voice is so soothing... I could imagine myself sitting in the dark just by myself with you... Just listening to you speak... And these words are beautiful... Powerful... Thoughtful... You've done well here, madam and i must say, you are indeed a wonderful poet...

Your voice gives me goosebumps.
Did you take lessons on oration etc? While I was listening to your poems I had a wave-length visualisation on the media player, your voice was in perfect rhythm. Excellent delivery.
More please.

 I really love the idea of words as living things--with a will of their own. And of course, you present the idea with such grace, and beautiful, strong, active imagery. Just wonderful.

Your voice is beautiful and is a perfect vehicule for conveying your poetry. The poem is very thought provoking and really has a resonance with my own philosophy. It feels good to have that connection with another. Thanks for creating and sharing this.

You're voice sends a shiver down my spine...but a nice shiver....i think it's more to do with the actual lyrics contained withing this piece...you have a brilliant way with them, very intelligent use of english...also quite quirky the way it flows, very interesting also. Great ending....really enjoyed this...it's nice hearing good poetry as good poetry makes you think...i'm going to listen again..let it sink in more, great work though

You are truly a rare gem, here at DM... I've never encountered anything like this on the web, ever...
Nor do I feel that I've drunk enough of the message, to comment completely... except to say that the complexity of your bare words fascinate, in every respect as much as any music, perhaps more... and so I will spend evenings here, until such time as every nuance becomes part of me...
And maybe that's the power of words... and maybe that's part of what this poem is about...
I love that you've done this! Thank you...

Words indeed. Are they simply expressions of thought? Perhaps, but the question is deeper in art as if portrayed like paints on a canvas invoking consideration of their collective meanings. The power of words clearly cannot be underestimated especially when carefully crafted for purposes good and evil, manipulation of the masses and in that “burns the ember”. Most words by them selves have little impact before being fused by the user so you asked, the chicken or the egg? The poet or the words is the question, the politician pushing the envelope of semantics. I trust this to be rhetoric? Woof is right; you ARE truly a gem!!!
Thank you for freeing these words!

Wow. Thank you for this Ms. Fox.
You have a really nice speaking voice also. I can't really comment on peotry out of my own ignorance, but this gets me thinking in different directions than I would have otherwise.
Very descriptive and visual words. Such a talent you have!

Sweet. To me it speaks of some source of inspiration. There is so much personification that makes it feel very intimate and visual.
"...jackbooted from dictators mouths, they bellowed, I am your dictation!" is very inspired sounding. I will have to use that in conversation sometime. Love it. Love your speaking voice!

Wow, read this one - need to listen still. You have a way of turning things around or bringing new ideas in right at the end.

Your thoughts on words and and verse is something I can relate to, from a personal perspective,I feel as though the music and lyrics we write and record are a gift from somewhere else...that 'greater thing' we are all connected to. Sometimes, when I am 'creating' a song, it feels almost that I am rather 'remembering' it piece by piece, as if it were comining back to me from some long-forgotten dream I had in another life...forgive me for goin on and on in your comments section, but the power of YOUR words has touched and triggered something within me which I often take for granted. Thank you.

this is so powerful, and I hate to comment upon poetry with a written comment, so I'll say that this is a bit of Zen, a bit of Science, a lot of creativity, and an immense amount of language.

Ah the weight of words..in your head..the wood of words..in the wood the ember.. The many changes of lyrical form, metre and content feeds into a river of drama expressing the feelings of a whole nation, a whole city.

"Captured words"-- I love your choice of words. And I think the title is accurate both ways. The poet chooses the words, but the words also choose the poet. You have a muse somewhere, and the songs you make are beautiful.

 Metaphorical overload! I can't believe the rate at which you go through metaphors, and yet even though it seems a blinding rush, when I really relax and listen, I see you use each to it's fullest. So even though it's not fair, and the rest of struggling poets out there probably hate you for it, you manage to leave a heaping mound of naked cores instead of half-eaten apples by the time you're through. That's mastery 
Oh, let's see...fave image...I'm caught between the burning of ancient wood, and the potential avalanche idea. I think I'll go with the former, 'cause it's just expressed so wonderfully, and I haven't lived in a flat w/ a fireplace in years
