Notes About The Poem

Art ID: 88264

- Main Role -


I do not always stay on top of the mountain

The room is empty, tears produce no sound

The silence answered with deep thoughts

Grief feels like to drown in the depths of darkness

In my quietest and lonely moments

As the black chords in a sad play

I'm touched by the sad vein that runs throughout this short but expressive poem, Anne Lise; your words and the visual compliment each other perfectly. ~ Congratulations on a merited podium finish:) Hugs // paul

The poem does not reflect your alias, Sunshine! ;-) When you say, "black chords," you mean somber and/or menacing chord combinations? Congrats on your placement!

Sad. reflective, beautiful. Suggestion(s): Change "produces" to the singular, "produce." Possibly, add punctuation.... :-)

Anne-Lise, your beautiful sunshine smile can't always dry the rain before it falls, and sometimes in life we hide our melancholy, like the unnoticed sad frown hidden behind the colors of a rainbow. A lovely emotional write.

Before a tree grows deeper in the ground its roots drills in the same way a soul grows wiser in solitude and suffering! A very philosophical writing! Bravo dear, Anne-Lise. A seven!
