Sound

Mid-October. 

Slight breeze. 

Overcast; dull; quiet. 

Occasional man walking from work 

or teenager on their phone. 

The leaves are falling. 

Quiet. 

Quiet. 

Quiet. 

Why is there no sound. 

Operator, Operator-

there is no sound!

He cannot hear me either.

It is so quiet

yet I cannot hear myself think. 

What is going on. 

Tell me sir, tell me

I know you cannot hear me but it is too quiet.

Fix it.

Operator, Operator- 

Fix me before I go crazy. 

Author's Note

Pretty weird, but I thought it was worthy enough to be put up so I could say hey to all of y'all. Literally just wrote this a second ago, tell me what y'all think. Thanks for reading and hopefully reviewing :) Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you're from the US, and if not- have a wonderful weekend.

P.S. I know there are no question marks at the end of some questions, I have chose it to be written that way.

It is funny how we depend on sound. We need a steady flow of music to function. I like the want to hear a voice. Sometime the quiet of the night make us wish to be surrounded by people and things. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It is funny. I think everyone says they want a little quiet every now and then, but yet the dead silence seems to kill them. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

A very exciting piece.
I read the little work to relate to my case.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for reading! And if you don't find me asking, what case is that? Thanks again.

I will let you know my case as message.
Thanks for the wonderful gesture.

I admire your consistency and ability to keep my attention.  That is a definite compliment from one writer to another. I loved the pacing of this piece. I'm curious on what changes were made compared to the original. It's always fun recycling old work and turning it into something "more" if you will. I enjoy your work,  keep it up.

Thanks Alexx, that is a great compliment. This actually didn't have any changes from the original but many of my others do, so I get what you're saying! Thank you! And thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

No problem at all!

[Craig2591]

Weird, yes. But there's nothing wrong with that. I like it. I especially like, "It is so quiet,
yet I cannot hear myself think."

[K.]

Most of my stuff is pretty weird anyway, so it kind of fits in! Thank you so much, Craig!

A dead man's call to 911. Very clever.

I never thought of it that way, but I like it!! Thank you.
