JoelJosol Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Silence--- surrounds me, irritating your inability to fill in between the sound from lips that wish to open up, to send v i br a t ion s, and jar the shield of yellow light where I am, a coffee-table book, closed.

goldenlangur Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi JoelJosol, The way you've formatted this poem is quite eye-catching. One gets a sense of cold shouldering and refusal to talk - a silence more deafening than a screaming, shouting battle of words. It is well written, goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I agree with the others, Joel. This poem has an attractive and effective layout. I enjoyed this part a lot: the sound from lips that wish to open up, to send v i br a t ion s ... and the coffee table book metaphor is fresh.
