Jan Allison Poet Alliteration

Solitude - Silence Is Golden

Susannah sits savoring the silence
snuggled sleepily on the settee
enjoying espresso and eating éclairs -
she needed some space and solitude,
twins, the ‘terrible twos’ are so taxing!
Her husband’s taken Hannah and Holly
to a party at Pirate Pete’s play park.

Lindsay Laurie April 4, 2021 at 6:56 PM Hello Jan ... we all need that little piece of quiet time Jan. Kids being full of energy don't seem to appreciate that - Lindsay

Rico Leffanta April 2, 2021 at 10:29 AM Sucking the cream out of éclairs is a talent which may result in twins - and exhaustion! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison April 3, 2021 at 8:58 AM ha ha ha:-) hugs jan xx

Victor Buhagiar April 1, 2021 at 11:10 PM Solitude is something that is with me all day. But I don't really mind. Jan Allison April 3, 2021 at 8:58 AM aww Victor you must miss your lovely liliane so much, hugs Jan xx

Susan Ashley April 1, 2021 at 6:52 PM I can relate to the need for a rest, Jan. A wonderful alliteration poem with some delicious imagery. Solitude is never sweeter that when hubby takes the exhausting tots out for the afternoon, except if it's solitude with espresso and éclairs! :) Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Jan Allison April 3, 2021 at 8:57 AM thanks for your lovely comment Susan:-) hugs Jan xx

Beryl Edmonds April 1, 2021 at 6:44 PM How lovely, silence coffee and cake for a well earned break from the terrible twos. An inspiring alliteration Jan... Belle x Jan Allison April 3, 2021 at 8:57 AM I can only begin to imagine the double whammy of twins hitting the terrible twos:-( hugs Jan xx

Eileen Manassian April 1, 2021 at 5:01 PM Lovely use of alliteration there, Jan. One can only imagine this woman's longing for solitude. Blessings, dear Jan Allison April 3, 2021 at 8:52 AM thanks Eileen:-) hugs Jan xx

Terry Flood April 1, 2021 at 4:57 PM I can almost hear Susannah slowly exhale, while pushing her slippers off of each foot with the other and enjoying the fact that the silence tastes even better than the eclairs... AND I LOVE ECLAIRS. Good write Jan. Terry Jan Allison April 1, 2021 at 5:02 PM What lovely imagery in your comment and I love eclairs too and apple or raspberry turn overs and cream slices but they didnt fit in with the alliteration lol. Have a super Easter:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham April 1, 2021 at 3:34 PM Silence is indeed golden Jan, a break from kids at the terrible twos stage is bliss. Tom. PS That song by the tremeloes took me right back. Jan Allison April 1, 2021 at 3:50 PM I can imagine having twins with temper tantrums must take someone to breaking point - was so lucky my son never went through the terrible twos he was such a good child:-) hugs Jan xx
