Soon, soon the cacophonous day will peter out
In the clanging of pans and the clatter of forks,
Lessening with the light, its raucous sounds centralised,
Embalming recumbent seekers through speakers,
Numbing the senses until, at last,
Cut off. The absence feels like silence,
Easing into peace.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

This felt like ending the day and going to bed in a poem. Great work Hannah
I like how this seems to slow down and peter out, but in a soothing, relaxing way🤗
Simply gorgeous! Go Hannah Go!
Love this peaceful feeling of a long day winding down, that you've painted! So beautifully written Hannah!
Yes! Great read and impressive piece, Hannah!
I chilled just reading...nice
What an impressive acrostic poem… like John Cox… my favourite line is: “Embalming recumbent seekers through speakers,”. Great progression throughout the poem.
You invoked that busy work day and the calmness of after hours so well. Nice work!
Ah that was so blissful! Loved your Acrostic!
Superb ending of the day!!! You captured the feelings!!!💕❤️❤️
Embalming recumbent seekers with speakers is an amazing line! Oh for a little blessed silence in the midst of this maddening cacophonous world! Great entry for the challenge, Hannah!
Oh lovely, I could feel the end of a busy day coming to a close :)
A sparkling moment of peace, lovely ☺
What a lovely piece and what a vivid imagery, lovely through all the rhymes and in every letter ‘till the very end.
Such a peaceful feeling.
The picture is a nice additive to this memory evoking piece
I like the way you had it diminishing as it went.
Oh wow. Love this one. Reminds me of when the kids were younger...or how my nonna must have felt when most of the family would go to hers every weekend lol. Well done, Hannah!
Excellent poem!
