Commentary on Silence in the Snow
To hear me recite the poem out loud, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Z9E55zr-U
With this poem, I spoke from my own feelings.
I know what it’s like to face emotional emptiness, while still knowing that things will eventually change.
Many tales of Eudo involve a mixture of hope and despair this way.
I wrote the poem to be drifting, sorta-rhyming and then sorta-not-rhyming, to mimic the feeling. In this feeling, you see, there are moments when things make a bit more sense, and then they make less sense. Uncertainty pervades.
WordPress doesn’t like it when you add blank lines. Thus, the spacing was off until I fixed it in Feb 2010
Dear Jimmy,
Yes, I highly recommend people hearing you read this poem. I think it comes much more alive when you convey the words orally. Such emotion and expression! I think you would have been great performing in Forensics!
Warm regards,
Buffy
