Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Stirring of the Mind

Little noises_a clock's tick bothered her
The truck with a loud muffler_wheels a whinning
Or the blowing of the heat pump's whirr
Silence sometimes comforts_flighty turning

Turning for hungry thoughts about others
Ideas, writings, truths, from the great teacher
Then the refrigerator cracks and smothers
Gone are the stirrings of the mind of this creature

Somehow the quiet of the day has slowly gone
The full rout has arrived with the slush
Of trucks_cars, roosters, crows, loader's backing brawn
Soon television will come on_peace, quiet are on their own

(:>Didn't go exactly like I had planned...

Virginia Frayer February 10, 2011 at 2:47 PM this is good :) The time I need it to be quiet the most is when I'm sleeping and at that point I have a fan to blast out all other sounds...lol~ Virginia

Wayne Sapp February 3, 2011 at 2:25 PM Nice poem Sara! I have a cabin off grid in Alaska, and it is amazing how quiet quiet really is sometimes, and how noisy our life is!

Carol Fillmore February 3, 2011 at 7:21 AM Sara, I can relate...the smallest noise distracts that train of thought and pffft, it's gone! Great job, though note it's unfinished.
