Household*** Options

[K.S. Lenk]

Household

The relish of silence,
of quiet furniture in wait
before the act of violence
occurs, a fate

that cannot be absolved.
A use, a switch flicked,
a force to be involved
in which they feel tricked

into participation
of existence, of a share
in accommodation,
a nerve laid bare

as unspeaking, they serve.
In grace they curve.

Hi Cleo,

No of course I don't mind. I didn't myself, because I felt inadequate in giving feedback to other entries and I know this is a requirement for posting. As I write mostly FV myself, I'm not sure how to approach the rhyming ones. I do love them though and often read them with a slight touch of envy :) I make rare attempts myself, just don't feel I've found a tone or voice in it yet.

Thank you.

Regards ,
K.

Hi K.S. Lenk,

Good to meet you. I will get to your poem separately but wanted to reply to something you said here that brought back such warm and amazing memories. I remember when I first started years ago - on Poem Kingdom, where many of the old timers here at MM met, bonded and have been critical to each others learning. Critique forums are for learning and growing. When I first started I had no education, no previous knowledge of rhyme, rhythems, forms. I only knew what sounded right to me, what made me feel and what pleased me, made me cry or inspired me. Your work is very good. As all of our poetry needs tweaking so does this, but I wanted to share that so you know ... just because you aren't sure of yourself with forms, rhyming and formal poetry, you possess one thing that makes you more than adequate to reply to others ... you know what you like, you have feelings and emotions and you are willing to learn and grow. :)

I hope to get to know more of your work and grow with you...

Best Regards, Amethyst
