Blog Poetry Slam 23: Silence


This is the 23rd installment of my weekly Blog Poetry Slam, so glad you stopped on by. I thought maybe today we can write poems about silence. Do you accept the challenge? I am gonna share a piece after the picture and another in the comments, please join me… I look forward to reading your poems, they can be short (even haiku), long, serious, or funny: it’s up to you! Happy Writing!

i hate…
silence.
i don’t want to hear
repression.
memories then have my undivided attention
nothing to drown out the incessant firing of synapses
playing target practice with my pain.

so turn the music up.

your turn…

Rain dancing….

drought

quenching needed...

 

When I had been whacked with the woe of wicked writer’s block I got rid of it by writing about it, it seems counter-intuitive, but it worked. Stranger things have happened… enjoy:
Writer’s Block Haiku
(1)
Drought stealing my reign…
Are brainstorms in my forecast?
How about monsoons?
(2)
I have writer’s block
It challenged me to dig deep
Pen becomes shovel
(3)

I’m digging, I swear
But dry ground is hard to break
Time for sledgehammers
Feel free to add your own haiku as well!
