To Write?
Vocal 'Silence' Acrostic Challenge, No.2
Stains on silence? Words?
I think that was Beckett,
Letting us know that
Every word comes with a cost;
Not speaking
Can produce its own
Effect.

The Dolphins Came to Say Hello
Dolphins passing by A wonderful view to see Peace and harmony. [Author's note: I was on a roll this morning with impromptu Haikus. Frost my Red rose and then, as I sat on the balcony having my cup of tea with my two little buddies, a small school of dolphins came passing by. They chase the herring which are running at the moment.]

Very true, that’s why you should always pour your heart on paper or on a screen. We are here to learn from you as well as watch you grow.
Such power in silence. This reminds me of the word "laconic". Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant take on the challenge, good luck 🤞
Love this Kendall, and it should resonate with any writer on here. Words are powerful, and sometimes the absence of them can say just as much as their presence 👏🏾
I like this take on Silence, Kendall!! Very thought provoking and a different angle!! Nicely done!
Crikey. This one is giving me...thoughts. Thoughts first thing in the morning! How challenging!
Well-wrought! I would say it depends on the words. We would not say that the works of great painters were unnecessary stains upon the canvas, nor should we say that about our child's drawing of a turkey at school. Even when it doesn't resemble a turkey at all, we still hang it on the fridge with pride! So too with our words!
Oooo, that was so profound! Loved it!
So outstanding!
Magnificent!!!❤️❤️💕
Oh, I Did like this ❤️
Brilliant!
