Very simply said!😵 I guess it is good to draw breath every so often.
Found this relatable on many levels! Really great work, Rachel!
Now, that is superbly powerful. Wouldn't we just like to say that to so many different individuals at one time or another?
I know some of these types of people (and perhaps to others, I am one of these people!) Enervates: Great word! Well done, Rachel!
Omgggg, this is soooo me whenever I hear babies/kids cry or make any noise at all. Like it just triggers me soooo much!!
Concise and full of understandable exhaustion!! Funny how human relationships, which we need to survive and thrive, can also be the most life-drsining things at the wrong times/in the wrong ways...this poem conveys just such a situation perfectly!!
Ha! Such a beautiful way of telling someone to pipe down! Great challenge entry. Good luck Rachel!
I know a few that I would like to send this to ❤️ Nice entry for the challenge.
Wow! This punched hard, but in a good way, Rachel. My emotional reaction was immediate. Great entry to the challenge!
This is one of my favorite poems to date. I feel this so perfectly. What an amazing entry!
This seems to be a polite way to say Shut up to whomever. Great work.
Powerfully stated!
Fantastic!
Deftly done! Silence is seldom savored.
Well if that doesn't just say it all... Nicely done Rachel!!
Sometimes it needs to be said. Great acrostic, Rachel.
Fuck yes.
Simply said truth. Nicely done.
I like this one! so sharp.
Noise is a killer of many things. Loved how you played this one. Nice entry, Rachel
