Silence Quiet stillness A stillness felt by both Causes chill to be in the air This type of silence has very loud sound So loud that it is deafening Hurting between ones ears Very painful Silence ~*~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-28-2003 08:59 AM).] |

Gadzooks, Ethel! This was another terrific rictameter! You've got it down to a science--and an art! Springtime hugs, Linda |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ethel, I too don't like that kind of silence, dearest friend, the only serenity I like is when it is beautiful outside and the sparrows and crickets are chirping! (sigh) I send special healing hugs your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light awlays shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Don't know about rictameters (duh). How does that differ from cinquain? Anyways, whatever it is, I like this powerful short message. Voting. |

This type of silence has very loud sound I remember the song "Silence is Golden"... and it can be. *S* But the wrong kind of silence can fade all colors to bleak... you've written this very well! *S* |

Linda, thank you, friend....... . Nancy, thank you. I appreciate your vote. . Noah, thank you very much. . Spirit, Thank you, I appreciate your vote. . Jason, I'm sorry you've heard this kind of silence. It can be awful. . jjote, I'm glad that you liked it and I appreciate your vote. A Cinquain has 5 lines...A rictameter has 9 lines, the first and last lines being the same 2 syllables. The syllable count for the rictameter is 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2. I really enjoy trying to do them. . Joyce, thank you for liking it. I appreciate your vote. . Janet Marie, thank you. You should try it. . . They're fun to do. . Sue, I'm glad you found it. I really appreciate your vote. . Kelly, thank you. . Flower, thanks for liking it and for voting. . Chris, thank you for liking it and for the click...click. . Karilea, Yes! I know that you know that I know. . Suthern, thank you for liking it. . . . I really appreciate each and every one for replying to my poem, and to the ones who voted.............thank you all. Heart Hugs, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (03-28-2003 08:58 AM).] |

Ethel, I like form poems. And I like simple poems that are deceptive in their simplicity. So you know I like this one! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Yes it can truly be deafening the awkward silence that stifles the ability to find the way back to each other. Poignantly said Ethel. |

It seems that you've really found your poetic niche within your seemingly natural ability for writing in Rictameter. YAY!!! Sorry, but I just can't be silent about it, I think that this particular poem would represent your talent very very nicely in the coming book. Good job. -Bob |
