Silence Poem by Langston Hughes
Silence
I catch the pattern
Of your silence
Before you speak
I do not need
To hear a word.
In your silence
Every tone I seek
Is heard.
I Love your poem! It's simple but great! A lot of knowledge & wisdom is such a short poem. Silence is a Powerful thing! You learn much in Silence! Excellent Job! Blessings....
Someone please explain this to me? I dont get how silence works in this poem.
So beautifully expressed! People who are very close need not speak to convey what they feel. One can divine the thoughts of the other.
Actions can speak louder than words...Why do some people choose to be silent when in fact, they should speak out? What can silence reveal about someone's character? So many levels of interpretation.
