This is a very philosophical and vaguely religious and colorful poem. It shows us the silence we need to find. That silent place is where God could
abide.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing

Comment from Bill Schott
This five-line poem, Quiescence, has the required framework and finds that the peace within us exists as the go to place when the world gets to loud and frenetic.

Thanx for your review on this shortie, Sir Bill -- these are always a surprise in the end cuz I never really have a goal when I sit down to 'pen' them! ;) ;) Glad you enjoyed -- take care out there!! ;) Yvette

Your poem adheres to the 575 poem rules. Your word choice is descriptive and vivid and allows the reader to create images in their minds. I like within the soul the perfect silence. I like the idea that silence can be perfect. Good job.

Comment from Carla Trinklein
An anthem for introverts! Leave us alone, our heaven is in the peace of solitude! I know this because I have definitive introverted tendencies, and I'm going to have this poem imprinted on a t-shirt. Beautiful!

Yes!! Hooray for us weird folks that love that 'peaceful silence' once in a while!! ;) ;) So glad you enjoyed, Lady C -- and, please, be sure to imprint away!! ;) :) Yvette

This is excellent. I agree with this. Our meditative nature allows us to get a glimpse of the eternal if we make an effort to tap into that--which I do. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Thank you, THANK YOU, Hitch, for your awesome review -- you've brightened a week of student orientations and parent meetings....and let's just say that is worth a pot of gold!! ;) :) You know, when I sit down to write these shorties, I end up changing topic until one happens that all parts of the brain agree with.... so, here it is (for this time - lol!)! :) Take care over/down there, sir -- Yvette ;)

Then we are very similar in our thought process Yvette, for I constantly juggle my ideas until one takes flight

Be careful or the next thing you know they'll be calling you 'blonde'.... it can be a bit discombobulating at first...LOL! LOL!

Ha ha , i ll be very careful then 😉
Comment from Debbie Pope
These are interesting images. The thought of "perfect silence" sends my thoughts soaring. Interestingly, I just entered a poem about silence. I had not read your poem. Our thoughts are just in sync again.
You could easily win another hundred dollars with this one. It''s good.

Ahhh, yes.... not only do great minds think alike, but the blonde ones are especially in tune!! ;) :) Thanx again for such a wonderful review, MQ... you know, these shorties for me change topic until one happens that all parts of the brain agree with... and that's the honest truth! :) Take care down B'ham way!! ;) :) Yvette
Comment from royowen
Scripture tells me that eternity dwells in the hearts of men, peace equates with the eternal. And yet we talk of tortured souls, I think that was me before I met God. But God took care of that. A beautifully written 5 line poem Yvette, we'll done, good luck, , blessings, Roy

Comment from Ms. Snyder
Hi Yvette,
Yes I can see yours does, and a very deep 5 line for me to interpret. My soul is sometimes screaming and sometimes quiet. I would love for it to live in perfect silence. But I've yet to get to that plateau. And I pray that only then will it hold eternity. But some have it already and I can see that someone with the life you have led, has reached heights that I'm still reaching for in my day to day. So I tip my pen to you MRW, CQ and Beautiful Teacher! Another fine contest entry with the purest of messages. Good luck in your contest! Cheers, Fonda

If it's screaming it's only trying to get your attention that it needs some silence! ;) :) Just because your mind is screaming (which my does on an almost regular basis!) doesn't mean your soul is... it's just waiting for you to quiet your mind to join it! ;) :) And that will end the blonde's soapboxing for the day - LOL! ;) :)
Thank you Beautiful Lady Fonda for this awesome review -- you are so very special to me!! ;) I am looking forward to your post this week... I haven't had a chance to get to messages yet (I'm already cheating by doing these cuz I'm supposed to be finishing up stuff for student orientation tomorrow...parent one is Thursday) so, hopefully it'll be there! ;) ;) Hope your day-to-day is getting a little more breathable...it is certainly good to hear from you again! ;) :) Take care over there and thank you again, my lady! ;) Yvette

Lovely thought, delightfully presented in your signature use of changing hues! Countless philosophers and religious pundits have tried to define the soul...they should have checked in with you! --Karenina
