Deafening Soliloquy

An Acrostic Poem

By Cindy CalderPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Silence is hushed yet deafening

Intrepid soliloquy to muted isolation

Lingering to nullify the crux of cause

Endless provocation of mindlessness

Numbing profundity of disassociation

Ceasing never to oust substantiality

Eagerly awaiting life’s demise.

    Dear Cc - I've tried to pronounce "Soliloquy" (3) times really fast with no success. Amazing how your Poetic words seem to flow with such ease. When I wrote 'The Llama & Koala' it took weeks to put together since it was so much out of my normal comfort zone of Sarcastic Silly Shorts/and Goofy Sketches. Cindy, your gracious support while I was down was so appreciated - Your lovely messages to those within the VillageBucket are so selfless and real. Jk.in.l.a.

    Each line delivers its own impact and is skillfully wrought!

    I love it. I have two favourite lines that speak about my association to silence: "Numbing profundity of disassociation" "Eagerly awaiting life’s demise."

    This is very philosophical and sad, Cindy. “Eagerly awaiting life’s demise” is a powerful line.

  • Each line is impressive! Loved “Numbing profundity of disassociation”.

    amazing, and so true.

    Agreed. Silence doesn't address the root of problems. Well said, CIndy.
