Silence (Revised Edition)



My Silence,
haunted me-
My silence,
had Noises-
so i gave it a mouth-
i gave it a voice.
Now,
Silence has a life;
Now silence
haunts me no more.

2nd line brother poet...haute is not a word that can be mad into a past tense within the context of the line...although it would be interesting to make the word haute fit within the structure of the entire piece...you can do it and add a layer of meaning or...change it to haunted.

Personally I would play with the structure until I could get to haute...adj.
Fashionably elegant:
"i gave it a voice...and now this silence haunts me no more"- i like!
I love the simplicity of this poem and it reminds me that silence is golden but it can be a lot to bear sometimes. I gave silence a voice and that brought me to the world of poetry!
How are you doing btw?x

Sometimes we all need to give silence a voice. Speak up on our own behalf and let our voices be heard. If we don't, who will?

@the walking man :i have done the correction thank you.i have written many Editions to this poem-looking for ways i can add some meat to it,but it seems like the message it holds should be kept simple and precise.
i need ideas
