Comments : Shadows of Silence

    Shadows of silence can be deafening. What I take from this is a love affair continues even after the time has come to end it, still irresistible. Well done.

    This piece seems to say so many things. I feel the sadness.

    taunting solitude
    haunts moonlight,
    curtains hide my
    abandoned walls,
    Scratched it is,
    anesthetized still.

    Only traces remained,
    of shadows of silence.

    Soulitude is a very hard thing to cope with. Your mind continues to think ....some welcome silience. yet the very same thing haunts others. Great imagery and word choices.
    Good JOb!
    Love Cindy

    Sad, yet beautiful and melancholic all at once...It can be ever so hard to let go of this feeling of loving someone..and silence can be so overwhelming when there used to be laughter.

    With a very short poem you managed to get a very powerful message across.

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid

    Wow. That's awesome. 'Tangy lemonade' is quite an original line, I think at least. I love the lines;

    'sipping even after
    its expiry date,'

    I'm not sure why I like those lines. It just brings more power to the whole poem. The flow is excellent along with the wording used.

    "Tangy lemonade
    of our fairy-tale,
    sipping even after
    its expiry date,
    Revolting it is,
    Irresistible still."

    -The wording you use in this is amazing, what I like most about your style of writing is that it's different and it makes people really think into the meaning of the poem. The symbolism of the lemonade is one that was beautifully thought of. Very well done.

    "taunting solitude
    haunts moonlight,
    curtains hide my
    abandoned walls,
    Scratched it is,
    anesthetized still."

    -I feel the emotion coming from this stanza, and I can't emphasise enough the wording you choose here is very good.

    "Only traces remained,
    of shadows of silence. "

    -This right here really got me. I mean shadows of silence really ties up what you were saying.

    *Very,very well written poem. Different structure than I'm used to, but that's what I always like about your poems, is how different they are.

    I really loved the first stanza when you compared your lost relationship [or I'm assuming that what it is.] to expired lemonaide. It just kind of really blows my mind. I don't think I could ever come up with something like that. Haha. So I really loved it.

    The other parts were good too [great word choice], it's just that part was what really stuck with me. Great job. :]

    Keep writing.
