Notes About The Poem

Silent Scream

For: OXYMORON Poetry Contest * Sponsor: Nette Onclaud * August 31, 2025

Silent scream of dreams escaping
into reality becomes
meaningless sound of words as if
my ears are muffled by prattle
of life never moving into 
the bold technicolor passion
that poets have defined as love
and promised to me forever.
