Silence : Acrostic Poem
Silence is golden, it can cut you like a knife.
It can be your down fall or even save your life.
Listening to silence can be the hardest thing to
Earsplitting silence can easily deafen you.
No silent exit , leave on a note of discord
Cover your ears to soundless applause.
Earth shattering peace, like all things has its flaws.
Just Jot it January: Silence Day 21

Today is Day 21 of #jusjojan and the prompt is Silence. The prompt comes from me, willowdot21 you can find me here, you are all, always welcome.
Silence
Not a single sound
Silence stretched for miles
White crosses in the ground
Each a name on military files.
All represent a life lost
Wiped out at such a cost.
Silence screams so very loud
The souls below are proud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silence seals her lips tight
Silence locks her door at night.
She has been warned not to tell
Or she will get more hell.
Let’s pray she finds the strength
To break her silence at length.
Silence has the loudest shout
But we need to listen out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silence screamed at us.
Silence yelled and made a fuss
Sadly no one heard.
FanFoFeb: Walking Home Daydreams

The  cars passed  me and there it was …. Silence, it grew.
I heard the birds singing, I looked up and saw the sky was blue.
I walked alone and watched the trees dance in the wind, free
This  could  be anywhere , anytime. I could be a younger or an older me.
Still no cars, the sun shines  but it is cold, February holds no heat
Then  I am twenty one again, warm sun, pushing a pram and I have bare feet.
The newborn sleeps in innocent bliss, my flame haired boy toddles beside me
He chatters away to  me in his own tongue, he knows what he says but it is still a mystery to me.
Looking up into  the sky  I see the unmistakable out line of the Kite his tell tale, tail diamond shape.
His rise and fall is a joy to behold , the wind lifts him  his wings spread wide like a vampire’s cape.
Still the silence lasts  and I hear my beating heart. I hear it boom, boom in my head
Down down swoops the kite, he has found his meal something good for him, something dead,
Just  as I get used to golden silence as it caresses me and relaxes me a car turns into the road
The warmth is gone, leather boots on on my feet. No babies here  only the Kite in the sky glowed.
The car passes me and  then another a steady stream now drowning out  my heart drowning out the silence
The Kite hovers again then he is gone. I walk alone, along the road to home traffic noise wiping out my  thoughts.

Snow Haiku

Amid the winter's snow
Three Haiku on the present snow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Black sky spangled sparky bright,ice cold.
She glides over the lake
Silver iron leaving in her silent wake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snowflakes falling on the lake
Tiny silver crystals formed like stellar plates
It’s a wander of nature clean and pure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silently falls the snow coating Rome white
Deadening city sound at night
Not been seen for twenty five years.
