A Cacophony of Silence

A Cacophony of Silence

 

 

notes of cashmere

and languid sips of Chardonnay

complement the evening shade

of another October,

where a cacophony of silence

strums the musicality

of you

On the surface …
the entirety of this thrumming piece by Kelly is but mere thought, feeling, emotion, and the enthrallment of romantic spirituality expressed by one of this site's premiere artists.
Let's peel the layers back and explore the deeper essences hidden within the flow radiating from her captivating words.

~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~~·–·~

Within the simplicity of this brief piece,
I sense and hear the dominant sibilant breath of intricate complexity in metaphor and alliteration that unlocks magic in all its words, bringing them to life, and in so rising ⁓ they dance into our minds, hearts, and imaginations.
Such uniqueness of gathered, inner silent, sound codes subliminally awaken our senses, thusly:
Five "Of" sounds
Six "K" sounds: (c)ashmere, (c)ompliment, O(c)tober, (c)a(c)ophony, musi(c)ality
Six "R" sounds: cashme(r)e, Cha(r)donnay, anothe(r), Octobe(r), whe(r)e, st(r)ums
Nine "S" sounds: note(s), ca(s)hmere, (s)ips, (Ch)ardonnay, (sh)ade, (si)lence, (s)trum(s), mu(s)icality
Is this really a Free Verse piece, with all of its sibilant and subliminal rhymes?
I could go on in revealing and unlocking the mysteries of this artist's amazing thought-streams, but what purpose would it serve, in-as-much that we're already enchanted by her spell with each new reading of her latest offerings.
Kelly, all, all of this really proves is it's a cacophony in reflection of your wondrously complex and brilliant mind-works.

What's more to say, except, "I love it: The poem, the soft presentation, the perfect painting choice, and the creatively gentle nature flowing from your lovely mind, heart, and soul!"
Thank you, Kelly, for sharing another wondrous part of You with Us! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Your synopsis of how I write, what I write, is quite an eye opener for me. Thank you for a perspective I can learn from and be most proud of! x

I read your words out loud Kelly several times. I love the sounds of the soft c's against the hard kicking c's. Beautiful poetry here, as always.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I have a habit of doing that very thing - reading it out loud. It's how I tweak everything I write. Thanks so much, Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

Reading aloud is so important Kelly. Thought you would understand that.

[Lorry]

Brilliant. A cacophany of silence, what a wonderful description. Scenes of cosy toasty nights, left to their own beat, as the personal indulgences add to the flavours of that golden hue your words create.
Somehere nearby, there would be a gentle ticking of a clock, lull

...ing us into hypnotic comfort. :)

Ps... I think my phone is haunted. It keeps posting while im still typing :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, you are simply too much! Thank you, Lorry!

[Lorry]

Too much? And here was me thinking the diet was going well too. :)

Mmmmmmm, this is so.....sumptuous. Can I use that word? From texture, to palette, to setting to sound. This is as full and slippery as it gets, with just the right amount autumn stirred in. Wow Kelley, this was like eating a truffle, and wanting two more with a sip of wine. Amazing!!!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Of course you can use that word. It's a pleasure allowed oneself, why not? Thank you for the feel of exhilaration in this review. I am smiling from ear to ear!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

crisp, cool, quiet autumn evenings....but that loud sound of contentment and hopefully love is definitely in the air.
your poem matches this avatar somewhat...and reminds me of Octobers in Vermont.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've never seen October in Vermont, but I'd be willing to bet it's just as beautiful in December. Thank you, Jacob!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Love the oxymoron in the title dear Kelly! Silence can be deafening, but if tuned and heard correctly it can take one to a state of heightened senses and awareness. The wonderful artwork seems to speak to this reverie. Your eloquent words say it all - “notes of cashmere’ with wine and languor- I’ll take it! Love the mood you set here my friend.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's pretty much the mood I've been in these days. Much thankful for the love! x

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

......Xo:))

Sometimes the moments that speak the loudest are the silent ones.
When the rest of the noise is gone, we hear what we want (or what we don't) so clearly.
This is how your poem speaks to me. So good Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Ana. If it spoke to you in that way, it's good for me! Btw, I like your new avatar, the somewhat sepia tone of it is quite appealing.

[Papaya]

:) you're welcome and thank you (:
