Analysis of ASL
The Deaf Community can "talk"
With movement of their hands
And fingers like a perfect clock
That each can understand.
The movement can be fast or slow
Like graceful poetry,
Personified for them to show
Their souls in artistry!
The fluidity of ASL
Shows how it is a way
To say things that most want to tell,
Within their hands ballet.
