Muted

She had been stalked Dark thoughts draped in silence Ranting Gnawing Suckling At the breast of doubt Whimpering In the shadowed suffering Of idled indecision Held hostage By the blank page John G. Lawless ©6/23/2023

Your poem, John, finishes with an engaging twist. Very nicely penned. I know that blank page all too well - it weighs heavily on all our minds and pens. Best wishes, Brian

Engaging poem John, the mind trying to complete a picture....then the blank page, drawing you in. The tension in this poem spills over that page...good one.
