Today’s #verselove prompt was to “sound off,” but honestly, on a busy Saturday after a busy week, I simply needed a space with the sound off. So I decided to riff on that idea for today’s poem.
Sound Off
Today I need the sound off
to tiptoe through clouds of silence
listening to echoes
of nothing at all
Sound off
vibrations stilled
hearing only the words inside
my own head
And in that quiet
inspiration speaks
in colors muted and soft
a masterpiece
heard only by one
I love “a masterpiece heard only by me” giving full credit to your own thoughts and honoring them in a poem.
Thank you!
