I'm not sure what I think about this one. It's a bit different from my usual stuff...let me know if it works. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: As a poet; I liked it, quite a bit... I admire the way you didn't feel the need to try to rhyme using "resonate". I always speed read or scan a poem first, before settling down to try to appreciate it. Some words leap out and I fully expected to see "contemplate" or "irritate" used to balance "resonate". You held your nerve well. It all sits together. As a singer; I loved it... It sums up, rather nicely I thought, the feeling I get when playing a challenging vocal role. The thunder, and hinted at storm, being the full belt crescendo. On that note (every possible pun intended) might I suggest an alternative title...? "Silent, Still..." Hmmm...? Puts me in mind of Don Quixote actually... Laying down the melancholy burden of sanity... |
