Dear Brooke,
The gentle sound of verse so clear
That tells us adewpearl is near.
I would call this "nature's sound" enhanced.
Regards
Reg

The rhyme is very well done. I can hear the frogs and their sounds and I guess you could call it a silence and solace all its own. Great imagery with this beautifully gifted poem.

Hello Brooke,
what a lovely composed rhyming poem of how to find peace within our souls'
I'm sure you know the following-
"Come let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with love (Proverbs 7:18).

Comment from allinmyhead
As always, extremely well-presented, perfectly rhymed, nicely researched, and creatively themed (enough adverbs in this line to choke an English teacher, LOL).
Good subject. Solace in silence, to me, means the absence of human voices and human-generated sounds (TV, leaf-blowers, traffic). This includes attemtping to silence one's 'noisy' thoughts. Solace (peace), I would think, is easily found in the sounds of nature, at least for most of us. You captured that feeling of stress being released once one steps outside to listen to the life surrounding us.
Lovely work.

Comment from Amicus
Wow! What a sound sound poem...I love all the nature sounds that you have worked in so beautifully in your richly evocative couplets. I especially enjoyed reading the peepers couplet as I have been working on a chorus frog image in haiku all week as they were singing loudly behind my house during a brief but now long gone warm spell earlier this month. Really good stuff, Brooke.

Comment from Just2Write
You do raise an interesting question about the sounds of nature. To me, they are the sound of tranquility, if that makes sense. Some of the manufactured noises (engnes etc.) are an assault to the ears. Nature seems to be able to blend sound. This comes through so well in your poem where you couple sounds together. Rose.

"If Solace Be in Silence Found" is another beautifully written poem. The rhyming couplets seemed to make the poem read faster. Perfect rhythm and rhyme and all so true. Solace near a waterfall is what I imagined.

hi brooke,
I got to read this poem this afternoon, with dinner. : )
Nice treat, eating a sandwich and reading a poem sandwich. where the middle part of the poem is sandwiched between a repeating line. And the meat of the poem is layers of flavors that build, or guide the reader to images that influence a reaction to an opening question (where the seed is sort of already planted). So maybe if they didn't have an idea when the question was asked the first time, they might have one by the end at the second time. I found it tasty. (as a poem sandwich) ... not that I was thinking of eating things in nature. And solace of silence as an initial foundation of an arguement, with all the relaxing type images, kind of points one back to solace in the end. Circular sandwich.
I enjoyed.
