The Sign Poetry Site


This site is dedicated to those daring international poets and artists using a signed language, who have taken their poetry to SignWriting as their media of expression. It is our desire that, as we add verse to this site, you may become interested in Sign Writing, and join in our efforts to promote Sign Writing in everyday use as the standard, practical media for writing deaf sign language throughout the world.


Our first poems have been expressed in American Sign Language. We encourage others World-Wide to write poetry in other Sign Languages also, and submit them to us for publication.

If you have authored poetry or rendered poetry to Sign Writing (in any language), and would like to submit your file for publishing on this site, please e-mail swp at cyberjer.com (WEBMASTER) with a copy of the .sgn, .gif, or .jpg file(s) attached and your permission to use that file. We ask that you only submit poetry that is suitable for children and families.

If the file is available from Cyberjer for FTP download, there will be an FTP icon at the bottom of the poetry page, with the filename.
