Sounds

Sounds

 

poetry is

the soft advance

of a voice

 

captured within

 

the din

of madness.

It most certainly is. It is exactly that. I love how you help me see the world.

Love this poem Jacob. I think we need more such "sounds". Especially ones that drive away the "madness", like this poem does.

I think to be an artist, one has to have a bit of crazy....it makes for wonderfully creative work. This proves it. Your poetry has a voice of its own...no doubt. Lydi**

Well, here's to the whisper in the melee harkened by welcoming ears. This was great Jacob.

I love the simplicity of how this poem leaves the reader with thoughts to ponder. Much like one of my favorite poems by Langston Hughes, Dreams. Great work!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Lisa...and actually, I teach "Dream Deferred" in my Lit. class...

language is but sound. so why does it hold so much beauty, so much power? surely one of the world's greatest mysteries. andpoetry, the highest peak of language, we feel everything and discover new truths. i loved this ode to poetry, and how it can deliver us from the 'din of madness.'

This little poem feels like being content in a warm blanket while the world rages. That is poetry.
The power to switch it all off and concentrate on what gives you joy. I get that when I watch a favourite film. I lose myself in it. Just wonderful poetry. Masterful.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, That Is Poetry....
thank you, Chris,
