Meeting the challenge of NaPoWriMo 2016.
Cinquain # 22: The Sound of Silence
Silence
Has its own sound:
Music of the soul finds
Sweet release; puts man’s whole being
In tune.

NaPoWriMo – Day 18, Poem # 1 – ‘Ecouter’
This is the 18th day of National Poetry Writing Month, and the prompt today is to write a poem that begins and ends with exactly the same word. If you want to join in the fun there’s still plenty of time. Visit this site:

I was inspired on this challenge to use free verse, which I rarely use. Moreover, I was inspired to write two separate poems for this particular prompt. This is my first offering. The second will be in its own post.
ECOUTER
Silence.
Nothing stirs the air.
Nothing breathes.
No vibration oscillates.
No frequency receives or carries movement.
No sensation touches auditory nerves.
There is no deafness;
There simply is no hearing,
Because there is no sound.
There is only
Silence.
