White Silence

Silence is no to be praised

silence is mistaken, no sound to bother you

its quit in your home, luxury is how you view

the laughter you so love, you listen to the sound

quickly it will go, and silence you are bound

before a storm comes near, the silence it is born

like the viewing of a wake, when silence means to mourn

colors all around us, from dark to grey to bright

silence has a color, it's scary, cold, and white

so when you sit alone, with a smile on your face

praising the all the silence, you willfully embrace

remember its the quit, the dark sound of white

bad things they all happen, in the break of dawns night

I like your description of silence. Silence does have a two-edge sword. I watch nature and surrounding area find silence before a tornado hit in Georgia. The good description gave life and purpose to the excellent poetry.

I think you means quiet in a lot of the lines you say quit, but other than that I think you have a really good sense of rhythm. This poem reads well and I appreciate that. With that said, sometimes I feel like your rhythm is broken a little bit like in line 11&12. It seems to disconnect a little bit with lines 9&10. Other than that, this is a nice.

This is really interesting . . . of course, I've always found silence to be a necessary relief in the wear and tear of daily life. But then, I'm quiet natured and never talk much anyways . . . I'm very strange in that where most people fear silence and are extremely extroverted, I am the exact opposite--I live alone in an apartment, and when the TV and radio is off, I'm trying to read and get distracted because the sound of the breeze moving gently along the floor is too loud . . . but then, that's just me. I'm one of the most quiet, shy, introverted men alive :)

such an insightful piece.

a couple slight glitches...

second line "it's quiet in your home"

and last two lines: "remember it's quiet"

and "in the break of dawn's night"

silence can be good or bad. can be peaceful...but sometimes, too much so.

The final line is a nice caption to the poem...very moody and thoughtful.

Nice writing...
