Silentium,
In itself
Lies dormant.
Enduring the discomfort
Nurturing the moments
Capturing time
Enticing others to break it.

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

Profound and perfectly presented! (alliteration unintentional.)
Fantastic acrostic, Jbaz. I especially liked that last line, very fitting
That's a strong opening line/word!
Silentium? New word for me. Lovely wording of the poem.
Well-wrought! Brief and elegent!
Excellent acrostic ✅… multifaceted Silence! “Capturing time” etc.
That last line set off a number of memories for me.
I love how this feels like a silence is almost taunting the reading!! That line "Enduring the discomfort" is everything! Well done Jason!!
The last line has such a lingering effect! Great acrostic, JBaz!
Fabulous!!!!
I believe Silence can be utilized in that way, excellent work 👍🏽👍🏽
This was so gorgeous! Loved your wonderful Acrostic!
What a dynamic acrostic poem. Amazing.
I absolutely love this, Jason!
Fabulous!!! Love it!!!💕❤️❤️
Yes it does! This is wonderful.
Loved this!! Especially that last line :)
