Emptiness
Created when
Sharp shards of silence
gouge deeper than
cutting words
shred hope.

Did you have a quiet holiday, then?

Well done!

shredded hope mended
in silent comtemplation
fulfillling answers

The sounds of silence can sometimes be louder than a thousand horns blasting.
Hope can be stirred from the knowledge that after every storm there is a rainbow, all you have to do is search with open eyes.
I do like the poem, it's very deep yet with few words.

I'm amazed, Ron, at how well you can craft a very strong emotion and message with so few words!!  Submit this one to Webster's!

As much as I am craving silence at the moment...this isn't exactly the type.  But I do know what you have described here well.  Excellent!

emptiness echoes
screaming your name in silence
for no one to hear

Well writen and very true.

Keep up the good work.

A small critique Cpat, I have added a few words which may help in your projected meaning. Hope you don't mind.

Emptiness

Created by
sharp shards of silence which
gouge deeper than the
cutting words which
shred hope.

Thanks Rick... I do not mind at all..

This originally started, believe it or not, as a MUCH longer poem..andd in an effort to present true minimalistic form..I cut and cut..and cut until this was all that was left. One version I had actually was very close to what you added, and while it made the point easier to read and understand..I played with it further...

I appreciate the critique... always lots to learn from how other read and percieve your words... Thanks!!!
