Actually

Actually,
I say quite a lot
just not out loud.
Graphite shear
is a pretty quiet sound,
my hand brushing across the page
is a whisper to hide my yells.

Me too dear poet. Once I was loud. Now I write to paper. I liked the gentleness of your words. The poetry was meaningful and worthwhile.

I adore your writing , short poems are my fav
You said so much in so little

A nice piece of work. I enjoyed the image of graphite as a whisper to hide yells. Well done

That's what writing is for, to express yourself across the page in whatever way you see fit. This is short, but vivid and real.

Oh this is so very good..
Reminds me of a poem I wrote in the early 1970's... I was in my early 20's..
It is called SCREAMS
The last line is
All but the one endless within me...
Really enjoyed your poem.

No reviews? This is good! It Speaks a powerful message of someone wanting to be heard, but hides their yells instead!
