Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

A Revered Gift of Reticence

Having heard the harping howls 

of a hungry herd on the prowl

I realized reticence is a revered gift

like the sweet love song of a swift

Am blinded by bright light God made, In His son, so I will sit in the shade; And pray, Without delay; My poems away won't let them fade. Jim Horn

Away and Closet Will Stay Had to put Christmas things away, With so much sadness and dismay; My each stocking; Memory blocking; Until next year in closet shall stay. Jim Horn

Nicely written, Lin. For me I have found that sometimes it pays to be reticent when everyone else around you is fighting it out. John

Take the cat bird seat...look and listen while others make fools of themselves with their blathering. Thanks, John.
