We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

Sitting at the entrance,

A single crow catches my eye

Confused, uncertain and forlorn,

As his fellows surf the skies.


He torques his head sideways,

Uncertain what to do.

The single crow insists on

Not flying when it's shoo-ed


Although the crow is all alone

He does not fright or crow,

He may be a little different but

Still, he wants to know.


Why are you here alone like me?

Pity, are you different too?

His question catches me off guard,

Get lost now, scram.....shoo!
