Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written - 2nd January 2025

Golden is Silence

 Golden is silence, words often said
Written words linger inside one’s head
Poets have ways of leaving their mark
In the stars and inside someone’s heart.

Reader and writer may never meet
Yet words swing along to one's heartbeat
It’s a poets gift of art come through
That lifts one's spirit when life is blue.

Poems of love leave one warm and snug
Alike being tucked up in a rug
Those of faith, there’s many can relate 
They guide folk to the Lord’s golden gate.

Tribute poems melt the toughest hearts 
They mean so much, are top of the charts
To recipients words mean a lot
They're alike sweets from a candy shop.

Poetic humour brightens one’s day
A laugh a day keeps the grumps away
And in the silence of loneliness
Cheer up poems are simply the best.

Bj Legros Kelley January 7, 2025 at 7:33 PM Oh I love this Beryl. My home has become so quiet. My adopted son is twenty-one years old now, and he and his two siblings use to keep this place rockin with chatter, music and play. They are grown up now though happily still residing at home. He came into the family room yesterday and commented how quiet it was, he said "Do you hear the silence?" I have been. I miss the old days, it is too quiet. But I do find solace in the poetry of others, faith, tributes, laughs! Poets need each other :) <3 Beryl Edmonds January 8, 2025 at 1:30 AM Bj, thank you so much, how wonderful that you built a home filled with children’s laughter and love. Silence can be golden when thinking of the past, wonderful memories that will always come back. Poets do need each other, it makes the writing worthwhile to know our poetry gets read… Beryl :)
