Yes a silence can be daunting but surely there are animals living in the forest. Maybe they are in hiding!
Good explanation of being pierced by the silence.

Harry, you have written an excellent 5-7-5 entry for the contest. Great job on matching a superb piece of photography with your verse. Good luck in the contest.

Fortunately, I have never been in a forest as dark as the one you describe here. Your seventeen syllables really capture the MOOD for me. Rod

Comment from Janilou

Exceptional

It never ceases to amaze me how a writer or a poet can take a few words and so completely capture an entire scene, emotions, reactions etc.
This is what you have done here.
I wish you the very best of luck in the contest and hope you win!
All the best,
Jan
