I Sat In Silence Poem by Daffodil Decarie

I Sat In Silence

Rating: 2.7


It is sad to say
when we don’t have any
words
come out painfully
just like a ballerina
dance
foot clubbed
toes cracked
neath inflamed floors
fruiting
blood of inadequacy

Just like the day
when Generals
used to lay
unbroken necklace
of defenses
so that-
You and I
and the rest of
the community
sleeps tightly
at night,
when we are
protected frugally
from being sorry, of
not having any to say.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Ivan Donn Carswell 10 July 2007

Novel construction and an interesting idea - that we are being protected from our inadequacies and thus ourselves. I too, would sit in contemplative silence pondering that! Rgds, Ivan
