Notes About The Poem

Dodoitsu Contest sponsred by Ink Empress 10/20/23 Checked with how many syllables

The Sound of Silence

Sometimes my world falls silent
I’m longing to hear your voice
So replace dead batteries
In my hearing aids!

At last I can hear clearly
Yearning for those little words
You whisper to me each day ...
What time’s lunch ready!

A big LOL! You did a dodoitsu justice with your humor. My grandma asked me to change out her batteries…I broke her hearing aid…hear me, I broke her hearing aid!! The next year on revisit, she asked me once again and you better believe I was more careful. Such is life. Congratulations, dear Jan! Love your humor! Fave

Dear Jan, I enjoyed reading this dodoitsu. They say through confusion, laugh, thats what i do, and thats how we stay sane in a world so cold, and this dodoitsu may be fun, but i always believe theres some hidden truth and emotions behind jokes, and i felt the depth of this one so very much. And it is brave of you to write about your personal experiences in a lighthearted manner. I especially love the second one “atlast i can hear” haha! Cute pic too! Thank you for writing. CONGRATULATIONS
