  UNDERSTANDING YOGA: COUPLETS Yoga means, a union true, Soul to Soul, a bond anew. My small self, to vastness bright, Like a spark to endless light. Yoga's not just body, strong and free, But joined to all, eternally. Supreme Soul, source of all that is, From whispered breeze to mountain's kiss. This joining, a slow, rising climb, Through practice, growing, one with time. This journey long, a gentle climb, To feel connected, space and time. I seek, I try, with open heart, To play my role, a conscious part. One with the All, the near, the far, That's what Yoga truly are. We reach and stretch, in pose and breath, To touch the truth, escape from death. One soul to soul, a bond so deep, In yoga's heart, the promise keep.

 COUPLETS Life's a puzzle, softly told, Mysteries deep, brave and bold. Born, we live, then fade away, A cycle turns, night and day. Like a lotus, from the mud, Rise up, to be understood. Be lotus pure with fragrant grace, Seeds of action find their place. Cause and effect, a gentle guide, Our destiny, we can decide. Let's calm our minds, let cravings cease, Find light within, and inner peace. No grasping need, no burning plea, Just clarity, to simply be. The mystic law, a gentle sound, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, profound. Life's truth unveiled, a shining key, Enlightenment for you and me. Chant softly now, the ancient key, Awake the Buddha that you'll be. The words like seeds, on fertile ground, For inner peace, profound. Let echoes spread, a gentle call, To Buddha-mind, embracing all. The cosmos hears, a vibrant hum, As wisdom's light, has overcome.

Changing the pitch in spoken word art is something that takes practice and skill. It involves adjusting the frequency or tones of your voice — switching between high, medium, and low tones — to turn spoken words into an emotional and captivating performance. This technique serves as a way to express feelings, helping the performer highlight important words and guide the audience through their emotional experience. During a performance, pitch variation helps to prevent a dull and emotionless "monotone" delivery. Usually, high pitches express excitement, urgency, or intensity, while lower pitches convey authority, seriousness, or deep thought. It's important to learn how to change pitches at the end of sentences to emphasize them, creating a crescendo effect. This works best when practiced along with varying volume and speed to add drama.
