This is in answer to PdV's Name That Tune Challenge.....it's an easy one to guess. waiting silence the room is filled with heavy thick absolute quiet I close my eyes to listen in darkness... nothing... nothing but high pitched ear-ringing silence I count the different rings at least two very close and one no maybe two split far apart... dissonance... they ring constantly in dissonant tones never a major or minor chord just miniature discordant drones continuing on and on and on without stopping to take a breath... listen... near sleep I clear my throat for the company of sound and wait... for your knock on the door "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!"

"Sound of Silence". Simon & Garfunkle. ?????????? "hello darkness my old friend i've come to talk to you again because a vision softly creeping left its voice while i was sleeping and the vision that is planted in my brain stil remains within the sound of silence" [This message has been edited by doreen peri (edited 03-08-2001).] |

I'm dreadful at naming tunes. Couldn't have even come close on this!  But I loved the poem!!!To hold tomorrow we must first be willing to let go of yesterday. |

Okay, explain. Is the poem supposed to have the same rhythm as the song so it can be sung to the song's melody? Or is it supposed to describe what the song's about, regardless of rhythm, meter, etc.? Cuz I thought this might be "Feelings." When I first started reading your poem, I thought of "The Sounds of Silence" but I didn't think it fit the tune, so now I want clarification for this feeble feeling brain. |

PdV's instructions: "Write a poem that is really your favorite song (but don't use the lyrics in your poem!)." I simply used my poem to describe the title...."Sound of Silence" and a little bit of the songs lyrics. PdV's instructions weren't explicit, so I took advantage of that. Thanks for the comments and glad you enjoyed. Packratmike |
