Question: Have you ever heard a silent scream!?
Silent Screams
By Semper Fi Reborn

I haven't the slightest clue
Or inclination
Yet some of this is part true
Part imagination

I was snatched away from sleep
Ripped and torn from a dream
Reverb echoed from the deep
Like a haunting theme

Reaching a plateau
As if some crook has made a scheme
My brain opens it's throat
In a silent scream

My brain opens it's throat
In a silent scream
No coupons for hope
Sanity unredeemed

I relate to your poem, Semper Fi, it stirs the deeps inside me of times past when the only sign of my suffering was the silent scream in my mind!. The adult in charge of my existence was the perpetrator of terrible pain that lead to silent screaming in hopeless despair, since to cry aloud would lead to physical repercussions deepening my suffering!.

Someday I hope to be able to write poetry!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I have, you hear them in the sound of your own flesh being ripped from your bones in conscious moments!. Sometimes you can save a life in the process of granting credibility that you can also hear with your eyes!. Like your poem except for the "as if some crook has made a scheme" line!. No power in that one and it really detracts from the rest of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Something has happened this summer!. The imagery in poetry has soared to a new level!. It is as if something clicked in the collective mind of a group of poets and they are sharing their energy and talents!.

I am especially amazed and thrilled at their new interpretations of poetic expression and at their recreation of contemporary poetry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do agree with everyone!. You have reached a pinnacle in your writing skills!. It is time for you to do this full time!. You are a true, born, full blooded poet and this is a perfect example!. Each phrase led to another that you had to read in quick secession because of the suspense and fear!. An excellent job!. Once again you've outdone the best!.
Peace & Love :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was like "wow", but then I saw that everyone else was like "wow" too, but I'll not say "wow"!. Instead, I'll say ***WOW***!. Absolutely fabulous!. I love it!.!.!.so creative and rich in imagery!. It's all great, but the second stanza could stand alone and still be great!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
