The Thursday Think Tank - #7 Sound


“One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence”
~ Andre Kostelanetz

Sound is inspiration. A noise can incite so many different thoughts or feelings for a person. Take this week’s prompt and write about sound. Maybe the first sound you hear after you read this will be enough. Maybe you will look for something you deem a truly unique sound. The topic is wide and immeasurable and we look forward to reading your poems and hearing the sounds you describe in our heads. I wonder if you just heard the starter’s pistol I just fired…and they’re off!

  5. This is an older post on my blog but I think it has the right response to the prompt.

  6. My post (written in May) is more prose than poem. I feel it describes a unique sound, perhaps one that few others will think or write about, thus my submission.

  7. My poem was originally written as lyrics to a song.

    Your words can affect someone more than you know... be careful how you choose them.

  11. Robert,

    I just about made it....and number thirteen as well!!
    I needed a few quiet moments, to compose this 'silent' offering.
    It is associated with all the stresses and emotions around the subject of communication, or the lack of it.

    Best wishes,
    Eileen
