Notes About The Poem

Huh

Huh

There was a sound outside.
It was louder than it should have been, 
and, yet not loud enough. 
A few people heard it, and they told others.
The news of the noise spread. 
They tried to get closer, 
to come from all over, 
to hear, what no one heard…
What no one said.
The sound was outside. 

(no one is listening still…                    )

Hello Ann Foster, it is strange that no one is listening. that person could be upset. Also it is hard to hear the word Cancer. Have a nice day my friend.

Yes... Death has many faces, and fear is his best friend. They all run and hide... when the light is shown!!! Hugs. Ann

Oh, hugs. I am glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes there is just a noise... Gaint trolls walk by the house, and later, there are only prints in the sand, that disappear in the breeze... Ann
