Comment from trimple
Good morning to you, Elizabeth.
Forgive my ignorance, but I am reading your expressive poem
Soft! In sunset's silence sound
whispers of consolation
Soft! In sunset's silent sound
whispers of consolation
To me, the word 'silence' should read 'silent'
or instead write;
Soft! In sunset's silence
sound whispers of consolation
Maybe I have it all wrong and if so, please forgive my lack of education.
A nice meditative piece.
kindest regards

Spot on! Indeed, the line break between silence and sound is how I intended it to read; I wish I could have written it that way, but the Renga form requires 7 syllables per each of two lines. (I find such constraints frustrating!) Thanks for stopping by. Cheers. LIZ

Ah! yes, of course... the ole syllable count.
Sorry about that.

Comment from dragonpoet
This short poem shows that there is sometimes a religious feel to nature. You feel nearer to God. I like the abstract art of sunrise in the mountains.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Comment from Carlos' girl
I like this. The first line soft! is so.arresting, it seems to command the reader to observe the silence and the sound. The use of consolation is a good choice

In search of peace at mountain peak, you hear the sound in sunset's silence the whispers of consolation at the end of the day's work; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

Comment from Gloria ....
LIZ, I must say, I do enjoy your Shakespearean touch added to this Soft! You have done a fabulous job with your couple, but seriously I must need new glasses because I don't see deep or night anywhere. Are they the silent sounds perchance?
Excellent addition to the Renga book and a fun read too. :)

Thanks for stopping by, Gloria. The reference to DEEP and NIGHT pertained to suggestions--per footnote-- that I replace THE in my original line "In the silence you may hear"; as you can see, I rewrote the line. Cheers. LIZ

Comment from Beverly A McBride
Wow, this form is rather complicated, eh? I like your post, and the use of "Soft." Yes. It reminds me of Shakesperian use. I like the economic use of words. Good job.

Thanks for stopping by Beverly. I appreciate your encouragement--spiritual and nature genres are not my strong suits--I am metaphorically-challenged so this was a stretch. Cheers. LIZ
