Mooching around 5Ways yesterday it was a pleasure to meet The Dislexic Poet, aka Chaz Hudson, who was scribbling away upstairs as part of the Spoken Word group.
Chaz is a dyslexic poet and writer, she writes to evoke people’s emotions and wants people to connect and have empathy for the world and people around them! She told me she wants her poetry to make people feel less alone in what ever they have been through or are going through. She says:
“I want to shine a light on subjects and situations that aren’t talked about enough, to shine a light on people that feel misunderstood and invisable.”
Chaz kindly left me this poem to feature on the blog! You can see her in action on her website, too!
Thanks Chaz!
POET YODA
by Chaz Hudson
I want to tell you about my hero!
Some hero’s wear discisers and capes
Some fly or drive super cars
But my super hero
Wears yellow hoodies and baseball caps
And rides around on his motorbike
He’s not always been someone you can look up to though
That’s what makes this hero so special
He shows that people really can change if thier willing too
He’s happy changing the world
One person at a time
He even helped this Dislexic Poet
Believe that she could write poetry and rhym
I love this man so much from the bottom of my heart
I haven’t got the words to explain
I think he’s pretty awesome
Now i’ve met him my life won’t be the same
I’m happy to learn and to take his advice
Because i know he wants me to sucseed
I’m lucky to have this male role model in my life
He helps me with ideas i have
If he can ever do anything to help he will
You might already know who i’m talking about
But incase you don’t
Let’s give a round of applause to PHIL
