What is silence for you? Is it ever silent where you live? Is it a comfortable silence or is the silence screaming? Have you been silenced? Answer some of these questions or all of them.

Echo
Chaos
Noise
Gag
Muzzle

With the diamante form, midway it switches to either the antonym of the first noun or a synonym of it. I’ve always gone the antonym route with them before, but this time I’m trying a synonym.

    I like the build up of tension and then the release. Silence contains both. (K)

      Thanks, Kerfe. I think I like using the synonyms at least as well as the antonyms.

  2. This conveyed a lot! Silence can be a curse or a gift and you expressed it beautifully.

    I love the meditative quality in that image. Beautiful. So I was very well prepared by the growth in this poem that led from silence to acceptance to quiet.

    I love the journey this shares.

    On a side note – I’m not sure what is going on with WordPress. Each time I come to your page, I have to hit “Follow” again. It’s happened on a few other pages as well. I’m trying, lol. Love your work.

      Thank you Michele and thank you for the heads-up on Word Press technical issues. Always seems to be one thing or another that is amiss with it.
