Inaudible Sounds
Dove said:
Might it be like a scarecrow, stuffed with hay...
Then the wind blows and its stuffing blows away
it hangs on to the inaudible sound in the dust
Says to himself, I feel this predicament is a bust
...Quite profound dear Neville.. Happy Halloween

Sound is always present except in a vacuum. Yet even there, your ears would detect something. It is the sound of silence. It\'s like background noise for your brain. It\'s most likely of a high frequency. When, or if, it becomes audible and nothing is there, it could be tinnitus. Sorry for being so technical, but it was just my first reaction to your poem. - Phil A.

Inaudible reminds me of the range at which canines hear what we donāt; a bit random in relation to this poem, but perhaps some connection can be surmised.

As I increasingly deafen, I\'ve come up with the mantra \'Can\'t hear it, don\'t bother with it\'.
PS: Is that a mantra? No idea, but it is a workable solution when it comes to what passes for conversation with my peers these days.....

This is one I had not thought of before. Silence or the absense of sound has a sound of its own. A type of tinnitus but only noticable when no other noise is present. I love the last two lines and the apparent contradiction in terms inaudible sound. Could there be deeper meaning here?

Excellent, Neville. Really enjoyed this. I recently wrote a short story where the writer\'s muse was a six foot tall talking fox with a New York accent. :-)

When the muse gets loose, we lose the juice. However we lose that inspiration, it hurts for a while and drains our ability to compose. It\'s a literary \"death\" that does not last. I have a theory that this aligns with seasonal changes. Negatively going into winter, positively at summer\'s approach. My attempts to overcome this have been fruitless. It\'s just how it is, and I live with it. Your poem highlights its global existence. - Phil A.

Me, I pictures it more like a drought, but definitely do gets the tenor of your argument.....

Well, now this pretty little number begs greedily to be further enlightened, which this genre never does, handily saying much without precisely telling. Lovely and beautifully rendered with a wonderfully haunting poignancy and such striking imagery I\'m nearly shivering. Awesome. Thank you for sharing. I\'ve a notion: pour boiling hot maple syrup on it and enjoy the candy it crafts in a jiffy.

Neville loved the sly useof wording here in the winter of a relationship the freeze paired with burn and the reference to hell and the burn of either cold or heat is a woven fabric well knit. Yes relationships are seasons and a thaw could be expected unless we are going through climate change and into another ice age. Hope for a thaw and keep writing.

Darn, it\'s just after midnight here in Lincoln\'s Land and all my fatigued brain conjures in reply is the lilting \"these are a few of my favorite things--\"! This is too perfect and charmingly rendered with a haunting poignancy which swears many relate. Thank you very much for sharing.

keep trying - one day the light at the end of the tunnel will be so bright as to be blinding - and you will also find the strength to forgive, forget, and move on...

And two tunnels a metaphor for? Sorry Neville, much of what I find here (these pages) goes right over my head. But apparently lotsa poets here understand one anotherā¦soā¦

It\'s like an Isosceles triangle, it won\'t work unless all sides are equal. Clear the to-do list with an I-don\'t reply. The light can\'t be seen from the perspective employed, turn around and get out of that tunnel. Short quirky answers to the dilemma. A most intriguing poem. It appeared to me to be looking for an impossible answer. It always seems the more we do the more do\'s are born. The light at the end of the tunnel is a bus coming straight at you.
Well so much for tunnels, for today. Enjoyed your poem, made me think. \"Is the world just a series of tunnels?\" - Phil A.
