Silent Torture (Senryu)

Day-12 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt: Torture (Form: Senryu)



 Her small universe

filled with tormenting silence


Echoes his comfort ...




The constant heartache

You know what I am talking

Active silence kills...

    All of this. So much power and strength in these three lines. You don't need a dense poem to feel the pain inherent in each word. Fantastic word choice. Your first stanza is wonderful but this second one is like a hammer blow on point, echoing how sometimes pain feels like it just keeps hitting you. I love this one, Sunita. Wondeful job!
