sussuration.

shattered ice floes trickle sibilantly
along the prow of the boat
winter's deepest secrets
whispering in icy syllables
telling the ancient stores
of iceberg wisdoms
melted eons before

[Mike Keenan]

Not sure trickle works with sibilant; I like the idea of changing l1 to shattered ice flows sibilantly; I have no idea of what the title means, but I do like the piece.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I have some wisdom at my old age now that is simply stored
but seldom used.
I think it melted between the thought and my lips to say it, or my pen to write it.
I like compact poetry, it packs such a punch.

I tend to waffle between trying to whittle my words down to their most clear meaning, or packing them full of syllables and sounds for the fun of it... thank you so much for reading!
