Softly, Silence tiptoes into our midst
Invited enthusiastically by some
Loathed by others
Enriching friendships
Creating feuds

It's both isn't it? Silence can be welcome and also not, depending on what we need or want...nicely done Angie!
You captured how silence ebbs and flows between awkwardness and comfort depending on the context of the moment. Nice job.
“Enriching friendships Creating feuds” absolutely dynamite lines! And the whole poem is tremendously well done! Impressive work, Angie!
Such truth exemplified in so few words. Well done.
Yes, my husband hates silence and yet, I crave it. That's not a snapshot of our marriage! Ha ha!
Oooo, this one has decreasing syllables in them! Gosh you are sooo creative with your Acrostics!
I love the personification of silence in your opening line, Angie! Really sets the tone of the rest of the acrostic!
