The Grieving Silence of An Empty House
orchidee said:
Good write N.
I heard the sound of silence. KP blew the telly up, so we had to watch each other all evening - in silence! I thought I was watching a horror film about trouts. Can\'t stand her for more than 5 minutes usually. lol.

The Sound of Darkness
Bella Shepard said:
I can\'t help but see one who is preparing to leave this world. The darkness forming, yet a flicker of light lingers, the lover by his side, sharing those final moments. But fear not, the darkness is calling him, back home again. The Sound of Darkness is expressed in beautiful words and sentiment, and a credit to this poet.

\"Darkness\" has a \"sound\" when that sound is of a pending storm.
Your poem, to me, seems to indicate some sort of upheaval. Like maybe the end of a great vacation or returning to a long-ago home. Enjoyed this one. - Phil A.

I expected this to go in a completely different direction
Going by the title
Nicely done
May even have heard a hint of light

Neville, yes, I do hear it. So.....familiar. BUT, like you stated, we do continue to smile, because...what other choice do we have? I\'ve learned to....look at it straight in the face! Many times I curse at it!! You have hit a nerve for me...thank you! 💜

The central theme of the poem revolves around the dual nature of darkness – both as a foreboding force and a source of comfort and familiarity.

So, laughing tatoos is a creative image, as is this entire poem. Just think of the possibilities if we could animate our tatoos. A great whimsical read for me today. Thanks - Phil A.

This has the aesthetic of a Georges Méliès movie-I specially was enchanted by the ‘sun pinned on the turquoise sky’ -the implicit meaning of sharing ink in (tattoos)-very imaginative and impressive, this one, Neville

It\'s a sad truth you write of here, but as I tell my kids, \"It is what it is\", meaning we can\'t alter the past nor change what has to be done, just in order to live. Thought provoking and quite a write.

You know....I don\'t know why I immediately thought \"you gotta do, what you gotta do\"! That\'s why I try really hard not to judge people. You never know! Oh and, this title though. I was thinking, hell I can be SUPER ghetto...if I want to be, OR really professional. Depends on the situation!! Great one, as always! Making me really think here!! 💜

Bella Shepard said:
Do I detect a playful smile on her lips, as she rcounts the delights of Another Perfect Day ? But then I suppose, it\'s the male way. I think you smiled as well, it was that obvious. Good write!

Doggerel Dave said:
What ? she wanted rough - was this a message to me or you? She spoilt it when she suggested there might be a crack there. Still, \"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That\'s how the light gets in.\"
Smoked Gauloises bleus but never achieved perfect smoke rings.....

life\'s at its most resplendent
when anchored
in our everyday hassles aside grim
cloudy clouds
see, that\'s when the efficacy
of our smoke rings
chime a Time of veracity, in our
intentions and shared
amiably mundane, undefined serenity
(just love the ambience of this poem Hyung
it puts a flavour of a sharp margarita
in our tongues)
a delightful sip, in a read

With No Cage to Hold Her She Learnt How to Fly
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant! and so penetratingly acute
\'So he chose\'
indecision, as plague
of self-deceiving traits
yet if we but acknowledge
our fear, in its entirety
it grants us a semblance
of empathetic sincerity
yet we, who make
monsters of ourselves
while trying to escape
becoming the monsters
defined
by society\'s value systems
can but, pretend and hide..
8 billion people in the world
we can pick and choose
all we want
but we stick to that we hate
out of fear
this, is all there is
breaking wings of the angels
who once meant everything
to us...
what a cruel, slipper slope
trust can devolve in-to
in the hands of weak men
