Walking on eggshells? That's quite an insightful statement. The picture is great; the whole thing could make someone crack up. Evi

Absolutely right and what a way to state it.
I love your short pieces and how you take the words and have them make so much sense in such short pieces.
Very well done

Hi Debra. You get and give so much from these short line poems. I like short, but don't have the knack that you do for expressing them so clearly in so few words. I'm with you--I am very familiar eggshells. Don't like them one bit either. Marilyn

The sounds of silence
(love the alliteration)

echo eggshells underfoot--
(the alliteration, the assonance and just the overall way this line just sounds so wonderful!)

defines 'deafening'.
(the entire poem just screams anxiety. Well done!)
Great job on this Debra

Debra,
LOL but in a good way. Your syllable count is perfect. Good job on the alliteration, too.

The color scheme adds interest. Your few words say so much about a simple little 'thing.' Good job.

Thanks for sharing. Jan

Am still thinking about this one! Some silences are indeed deafening and the glowering look is more than enough to warn one to tread carefully, eggshells underfoot!

Hi Debra!

I love this one, the epitome of 'walking on eggshells.' Nice alliteration, too!

You are doing an awesome job keeping up with NaPoWriMo! Just a few days left...
I put a note to everyone in the Poetry forum, not sure if I had mentioned that or not.

Keep up the great work!

Kim
