Embracing Solitude

To Savor Silence – silken like the snow; to scrawl my words, and yet to be sedate . . . then scatter them to sky to scintillate like stars that shimmer in a fireworks show. To seize each sacred second – not to stray. Once inside of silence, why slip away? Embracing solitude, I take it slow. March 30, 2021 Submitted Sept. 1, 2022 for Joseph May's 'Alliteration - Old or New ' Poetry Contest

I like the musical feel of this, especially 'silken like the snow' and the rhymes add an elegant touch - I too take it slow in solitude, best wishes for the contest~

I think most of us write better when we're in a noise-free room. Love the way your words are scattered in the poem. Beautiful! Best wishes for a win, Hon. Have a blessed Easter. Hugs, Carolyn
