What a lovely poem describing very well the power of words in many manifestations. The ending is just perfect - regarding silence and profundity. Love this short and powerful work. Thank you very much for using my artwork to illustrate this poem.

Comment from Connie C
What a perfect sonnet you have written here, Adonna. And the topic is perfect as well for those who love to write and cherish using their words for expression. But as you so wisely state in the turn in your third stanza, silence can also be quite "impactful" at times. Your last two lines sum up your message quite clearly and cleverly. Your choice of image, by the way, is excellent. I love it all!

Thanks so much my kind and lovely friend. Your words always make me so glad I've written something you like, and the stars always add stars to my eyes. :p You are way to sweet and generous, I think, but I love you for it.
Comment from nancyjam
Excellent Sonnet form! I love the subject.
Words are very useful in so many ways,
but silence can often say more.
Excellent rhyme and meter throughout
and a wondeful closing line.

Comment from Ben Colder
The term silence is golden, perhaps said in poetry. An unruly tongue is a deadly thing. Life or death awaits for the moment. Well done, poet. Blessings to you.

Comment from His Grayness
Dearest MISSMERRI; your penname so closely reaches to define the effect your work has upon my soul "mesmerizes" as I do enjoy and celebrate a heart and mind that can appreciate and deliver such profound passion and gratitude for so many things in your life. As always dear friend, thanks so much for sharing your heart! Vance

Comment from krys123
Adonna;
-This is a very prolific and profound piece of poetry where the philosophical commentary emblematic and annotated.
-Good use of enjambment which is the running on every thought and concepts from one stanza, couplet and line to the next without a syntactical break.
-The analytical statements that you make are a philosophical expressive comment and within this imagery you relate to words that may be either predictable or simply not said it all: "The power of the word is manifest in many little ways throughout each day, but how impactful are those moments blessed with silence,
filled with words we DIDN'T say."
-The rhyming was superb and each rhyming word was contingent to the meaning and concept of each line making the sonnet's rhythm to flow smoothly.
- Rhythmic meter was iambic pentameter in the cadence, timing and tempo will all helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-Near and notable alliteration's: /"slumbered senses"/"tell of things"/"lurks, it's language"/
-Thank you for sharing and posting this and may the good Lord be with you always.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello author to me silence some times are worst then speaking of what ones feels.
Of course you had me thinking when you said so well--
Bright words well up when beauty strikes the mind
to stir the slumbered senses to ignite.
With words we speak of wonders we may find
and tell of things that give our eyes delight.
Very nice

Thank you Gert. I know there are times when it is much better to speak than to remain silent. I was merely wanting to remind us all that appropriate silences can sometimes be filled with meaning as well. I am glad you found something of interest here. I appreciate your review so much. Thanks for taking the time.

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
Words are what helps us heal, say what we normally wouldn't say and words are the reason I can sleep at night. Getting it all out on paper so it's not stuck inside eating me away. Great job

I do understand exactly what you mean about 'getting it all out on paper' so that you don't feel it eating away at you. Writers have to write. Thank you so much for your excellent review and for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate this very much.

Hi Addona, this is a beautifully worded and presented sonnet, your iambic pentameter is excellent and your rhyming very skillful, The turn on the third stanza is brilliant and the final couplet brings the whole thing together beautifully.

Comment from rspoet
You have written an excellent sonnet of words
The iambic pentameter is spot on
The rhymes are excellent
The turn in stanza three is very interesting, "silence, filled with words we didn't say"
The couplet ends the sonnet very well
Great colorful photograph to accompany the poem
Well done
