Position:Home>Poetry> Acrostic; Truth doesn't make a noise, do you like my Poem?

To make a loud noise that is heard around the world -- that is a compliment!. This is universal and so rich with possibilities and probabilities that each reader will unravel a different mystery with each reading!.

Fantastic!.

Now I understand why several people have asked me not to "explain" the poem in my added notes -- it is not needed!. After the poem closes, then the additional information would be all right, but now you are directing the readers -- just exactly as I have done in some of my own works!.

This could be posted in R & S with you detail note asking for comments from that group as well!.

This is good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I cannot decide whether this is a eulogy or an epiphany!?

The grave
Reveals my only
Undisputed
Truth
Here you will lie, but not your soul < this pratrays a religious connotation>

Did you think not to repent!?
Or do you think you understand!?
Engaging speech, serves you well
Sounding bell
Not given to light
Terrified of Hell < I hear a little doubt in these words>

Master of your own destiny!?
Arrive in your own time!?
Kill the prophets
Eat the evidence < is this the epiphany>

Not remembering, that with
One more breath
I shall be waiting
Sleep well,
Enjoy your rest < sentiment, emotional imagery but as a link to the rest, confusion>

it is in itself a beautiful piece of work and please accept my appologies if I have misinterpreted the meaning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dearest Gid, poetry is often about mystery, but I have to wonder what truth has to do with this!? Is there a secret that the protagonist (because certainly this poem has one) knows!? Could we have a hint of it!? It is good!. I'm not suggesting it isn't!. I would just like a little tiny bit more, even one word!. I am curious!. At the rate you are cranking these out, are you OK!? Do you sleep!? Inspiration comes in doses, some pretty large!. But wow, you are really in the groove!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Brilliant - you make it all seem so effortless - the sun is shining almost every day here in middle England, so I have been neglecting poetry for the garden and long country walks!.
When it gets dull again (and it will) I shall be back int he saddle - using you as my spur (no pun intended)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the poetic form, but the content confuses me!. Who is the narrator!? To whom is the narrator speaking!? "I shall be waiting," -- the narrator is "I" but who is it!? Has the other person died or is he dying!? To what does "Kill the prophets/Eat the evidence refer!? Sorry, Gideon, this one is out of my league!.

EDIT: This poem would be perfect for a group of people who had been discussing the subject, or maybe for a Bible study class!. The discussion or the class could end with a reading of this poem, or maybe the students could be asked to write a poem (if they wanted to)!. I don't believe in assigning poetry to students, but I would like them to have a opportunity to read their poetry if they would like to do so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
