Golden Is My Silence

Golden is my silence…. golden as the warm rays from the morning sun, though his picture plunged daggers into my heart, a thousand and one. I will ask him no questions and he will tell me no more of his lies. I will spare myself the torture, silence is golden….so why ask why? Hence; like smoke that vanishes silently into the air as it rises, So do I …. so do I …. so do I…. Oh how sweet and golden is my silence as I rise.

This poetry form is called Free Verse. There is no rule which says that free verse cannot rhyme. In free verse, you can arrange your poem, line breaks, stanza breaks, etc. any way you wish.

Thank you Cona for viewing my write and for your very informative comment. I have no education in the numerous styles of Poetry, I just write, however; recently, when time permits, I have been reading and trying to learn about different styles of poetry, like Haiku. I just posted another poem yesterday titled " A Tattered and Fraying Fabric " and I called that form Free Verse. So if you have moment, I would appreciate if you could read it and let me know if you think its free verse. Thanks again...
