2009 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 23
Posted by Robert
For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem filled with noise. Or, at least, it should involve noise. There's all manner of noise you could write about: traffic, celebration, panic, nature, etc. You could even write about the space between noises.
Here's my attempt for the day:
"Not every picture needs a volcano"
In the forest,
a tree falls, and I hear it.
So the tree was
not alone, but now I am.
I am the pain
into which the world will drown:
the sound of flames
crossing a forest, the sound
of trees falling.
Burn, burn, burn. All of us burn
inside to find
ourselves falling so someone
can hear our sounds.
