Rondel : the Sit In Silence .

The  silence

And  the  antiseptic  air .

The sound  of  pain

In  that  dreaded  chair .

Your  jaw  now  dead

With  a  tongue  to  choke .

"RIGHT ! ,  you're  next  Seán " .

The  voice  that  broke

The  silence .





Inspired for Brian's rondel contest .

Good use of imagery for a thought provoking poem. I like the way you use conversation towards the end. Using your name in the poem also makes it feel personal. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen
