Silent Reminders

by ilikepurple222   Dec 23, 2009


The glowing green light from the alarm clock catches
my eye;
Just a reminder of the time that slowly passes.
My eyes try their very best to close,
but as soon as I begin to catch some sleep,
images fill my mind like silent reminders.
Though they're not silent at all.
More like thousands of different noises going on all at
once.
A roll of nausea comes back.
My eyes quickly open to force the images out of my
head.
They quietly linger.

Words flow through me like a faucet.
Lines and phrases that feel like they were just
yesterday.
The lyrics of a song,
expressing every word I could never say.
Empty inboxes,
old frames,
and a heart that no longer speeds.
Just silent reminders
that were never really silent at all.

    "Just silent reminders
    that were never really silent at all. "

    I think this was a very strong way to end your piece. It's true that when you're in this situation, silence can be deafening. I like how you portray your thoughts through imagery. I also like how you reinforce statements by using repetition.. Good write.

    I love this one!
    Especially this line:

    Just silent reminders
    that were never really silent at all.

    I get how this can actually be possible, like how emptiness can be so resounding. People usually ruminate over what they have lost more over than what they have on hand. A delightful read, 5/5!

    I think this was my favorite of the two :) It was really emotional and you caught my attention with the first couple of lines. Overall, great poem. Keep writing. 5/5

    I really liked the opening I thought that was a strong beginning to the rest of your poem. A small thing such as the light on your alarm clock, is silent & holds a reminder as many things do in the world as well. Uhmm, everything was good here...but you seem to just sketch your thoughts down which is fine but in the near future i'm sure you'll improve & put a flow with your words. Right now it's choppy short thoughts, but those are always interesting too. To dig inside the mind of the writer & see waht they are thinking. Nicely done. (:
