This one says so much. Just the picture is worth a thousand words. Can feel a strong emotional pull from the text. Colors match the pain of the atmosphere of this one.
Well done!

What we don't say can be as damaging as what we do say. Very fine sentiment in 17 syllables. It isn't easy to do. You met the rules for the 5-7-5. Nicely penned. No cons.

This 5-7-5, Broken Resonance, has the right set up and seems to state that true friends will wait and listen for what is wrong while others will simply tell you what's wrong with you.

Oh, true words! A broken heart speaks loudly without making a single sound. Hence, the broken heart speaks louder than murmured fake words. Good job!

Sad and laced with longing in between the lines. Expressive. Fine work. Good presentation. Good phonics in phrasing with the assonance of I, alliteraiton of H and M and also consonance of R.

My only suggestion is to consider replacing the word THE with a more descriptive word, to get maximum mileage in meaning from that syllable. It's fine to keep THE is you prefer.

Just a thought! This is a fine entry. Good luck!

Warmly,
rd

The message conveyed by this poem is true to life, if not original with this piece. Your words are well chosen and I love the picture that complements the words. Thanks for sharing..

Your poem is quite beautiful. I love the picture you've chosen for it as well. I believe there is always two sides to the story, so although the heart hears silence it may not always be silent... Still the end result is the same isn't it? (well sometimes)
