Mime time! was her catchphrase

Useless though since she wasn’t allowed to talk

That and she didn’t have the skills yet to pantomime it well

Eventually, one day, she would achieve master-level status and silently scream in triumph!

Comic (an acrostic poem)

Creating sagas out of pictures and words

Organized in windowed snapshots of time

Manipulating sounds silently through POW and SNIKT

It is an artform consumed by young and old

Capturing the human condition with characters who are more than that

Sky (an acrostic poem)

Silently the sun crosses the deep blue expanse

Keeping the ground below bathed in its warm glow

Yet my fingers and toes don’t feel the love

Marsh (an acrostic poem)

 

Moss draped trees swung in the humid breeze 

As Roger held his shotgun up to his shoulder 

Ready to pull the trigger if one of those damn crocs showed back up

Silently he waded into the tepid waters a bit more. 

He never saw the one come up from behind.

Snack (an acrostic poem)

Silently my stomach ambushes me

Not giving me a chance to finish making my meal

All I can think of is how much I want to eat something, anything

Candy soon fills my pie hole, ruining my dinner, but still

Killing my hunger dead in its tracks
