SILENCE TO CALL
sorenbarrett said:
Although this poem can be taken as one of physical isolation from others it seems more to me a poem of mental isolation where one withdraws within. It ends more hopefully with a promise to reach outside and rejoin the world and forget the loneliness and isolation inside. Very nicely done

I love the way that you have woven this poem not only from a faithfulness to the painting but its apparent emotion as well and threads of other paintings the scream by Munch. In good rhyme you do justice to this work. A fave

The difference between what the heart and mind tell are echoed in what society values and the individual. Life to be lived for self or others is the question. Nicely written

Very real and atmospheric. I was obsessed by the trenches in WW1 once. Keep the memory alive if you have the motivation.
