Whispers and Screams of Silent Letters

When we don’t pronounce silent letters while speaking,
They’ve secret messages to tell, let’s keep them in writing.

Like letter “t” in a word listen has a silent scream for all,
Teaching us the key to understanding, let’s answer its call!

B in word subtle reminds us not to use force or loud demands,
For social situations with grace, be users of soft cues and nuance.

K of word knives says keep them away from children,
To avoid accidents and harm, use them only in the kitchen.

W in write reminds that words are expressions of thoughts,
Scribbling with pen and paper will free us from fear and doubts.

H in honesty or honor highlights our highest moral values
H in hour greets, “Hi! Let’s enjoy life, time’s so precious!”

G in sign, design and resign speaks important marks…signals
Ready to go and build creatively with firm decision, approval.

P in the word receipts demands us to pay financial obligations
P in psychology whispers pay attention on mind and perceptions.

Silent letters in thousand words are all sending messages,
To tell them all, this couplet will definitely run out of pages.

Love the way you have used the silent letters to offer important messages Len. A clever interpretation of the contest. Gives the feeling of reading between the lines and discovering depth. The lesson I get from your poem is to look beyond surface level not just in reading but also in life. Wonderfully written. Thank you for entering the contest. And for the list of examples you have included at the top of this poems page 😁😉👏⭐️

I love poems about how weird spelling is, yet with pattern, history, or a subtext. I like this :)
