Notes About The Poem

for William Kelii Kekaula's Double Nonet Poetry Contest

checked by howmanysyllables.com

Silence and Noise

Snow frosting woodlands white; sun beating down on barren landscapes; the floating solitude - of being immersed in space or in the depths of an ocean that resonates muffled quietude. How fickle is a world in which we can experience elsewhere the tumultuousness of storms pelting crops or thrashing seashores, and the mad roar of dragons in forests spitting Fire

Whoa!! I wonder where those dragons live. Creative work you have penned in this one. I am now wondering what the fire spiting dragons are a metaphor for on this spring day. Maybe war machines. Sara K

The dragons are forest fires. Maybe I went overboard on that one?

Did you get that the dragons were raging forest fires? I may have confused people using a metaphor!
