White Noise

by PinkyPrincess   Jan 6, 2012


Sirens ring in my ears,
irritating sounds that
have become white noise.
The prolonged day continues.

Just an ordinary, boring day,
laying freely and carelessly,
ignoring life's priorities
and getting lost in time.

The intrusive bugs crawl
and creep up behind me.
Their distressed glances and
icy whispers attack me.

My curiosity has been tickled,
and my imagination is awakened.
Bad news wafted through the oceans
to my chilly home away from home.

Sirens ring in my ears,
the sound of trouble,
the standard white noise is
alarming me with its aching cries.

Time is precious but it is also a thief;
it can steal your most valuable essence.

    Wow... The ending.. was totally the perfect topper on such an amazing piece of poetry. I just felt every word and the imagery was amazing. White Noise made me think of ones of those "horror" movies or supposedly horror movies, but you painted it so much deeper in a morbid sense that it just hit the reader to the very core.

    5/5

    This poem was interesting. I loved its entirety, and it was quite brilliant how you used something like white noise and turned it into this. This was the work of a unique brilliant writer. And I liked how you compared time as a thief. Which certainly rings true. Wonderful work.

    First of all I think that the title is quite interesting because white is usually a color that resembles innocence, purity and maybe even "emptiness", but then I was wondering "white noise" - quite interesting, since I never thought of noises having colors and if so what that'd mean.

    I thought that this was an interesting read, especially since the message you convey is so strong. Well done!

    WOW! Id like to start at the beginning, but I'm so blown away by,

    Time is precious but it is also a thief;
    it can steal your most valuable essence.

    That was just amazing. That needs to be a commonly said quote by all. I give you tons of credit for coming up with that. Beautiful!

    Secondly, the title loved! and so funny how just reading the first stanza I could hear white noise and actually pictured when a TV goes all snowy and you just hear that fuzzy noise.

    The intrusive bugs crawl
    and creep up behind me.
    Their distressed glances and
    icy whispers attack me

    ^ What I loved about this was you used distressed glances, and icy whispers...dear lord where did you come up with that? You wuoldn't find those words describing a "bug" so the fact that you used it was awesome to me

    Girl you know I love your work and get excited when you post a new poem. This was great!

    Good thoughts. You spoke out your heart. I would take to girL's suggestion, cos that statement is kinda debatable, but you're right on track. Don't stop writing!!
