Quiet a word with versatility

A Triple Threat

by HarryT

Quiet – let me count your ways
You are so versatile, an honest triple threat
             You can be a stable noun
             A descriptive adjective
            Or even an action verb
                  Quiet your child
                  Quiet as a gentle breeze
                  Quiet is needed
I have also heard you used
         To mean silent or noiseless
                  Quiet as a rolling fog
                  Quiet as a cemetery
However, I must say your antonyms bang in my ears
        Words such as loud, chaotic and hectic
                  Loud teenager’s music
                  Chaotic drunks at a game
                  Hectic Junior High dismissal  
But I must tell you whenever I can
         For my wellbeing
                 I choose to be with you,
                 My dear, Quiet
