Now we’ll see
if “I love you’s”
fell too swiftly.Waiting in the quiet hours
I remember -This is how
silence is built
One minute after another
adding up to nothing.

Beautiful!
Seems to be negative, why is silence bad? Sometimes silence is good for the soul.
Lovely
Post-It Poems? I never knew this was a genre, but by coincidence I uploaded a poem yesterday, in which the idea of writing on post-it notes features. Weird! Anyway, my poem is designed to inspire us to write:

Would be interested to know your thoughts, best wishes,

“Silence is built one minute after another adding up to nothing”
Yet in silence the loudest of emotions are spoken are they not?
This reminds me of “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams.
wow. sounds good

The last stanza is one of the more powerful portrayals of silence and “nothingness” I’ve ever read. Bravo!
Sincerely,
Julien Haller
Love it!
Beautiful, deep, but simple enough and complex at the same time…really good.

Beautifully written and so concise. Thanks for sharing.
I quite liked that actually, it;s short but says everything it needs too.
A beautiful moment, captured on the fly. Love it.
After sad and evil days, hurries the happier hour of gentle joy.

Real creative!:) The poem can be thought in so many perspectives. I’d like to think she learnt her lesson after her break-ups.
I like this poem very much.
short, simple, profound!!! (in the quiet hours I remembered, this is how silence is build)
Brevity is the soul of wit. Nice Job!
Some years after my father died, my mother talked about the loss. She said that it wasn’t so much in the first few weeks after dad died that she missed him. The memories of his face and his hands were still fresh then, you see. A shirt he’d taken off still smelled of him, and tasks he left unfinished still cluttered his desk.
It was later, as the days piled into weeks and the weeks into years, when her bones began to realize that they never would feel him again this side of the grave that the loss became hardest to bear.
I realized that the most tragic part of a vital man dying young isn’t the lost man’s life, but the burden of the loss to vital man’s woman and his little children.

I liked the exact same words…
Awesome thought…
Wow, this is beautiful, exquisite, and honest to life. Brought a tear to my eye.
Loved your poem and the idea. Would you consider writing a guide to post-it poetry for the novice (me)?
Great poem!
This is wonderful
How sad! I hated that feeling and long, long waiting to see how things would turn out. Very nice poem, though. Keep it up!
Oh! This has surely made my day. *heart* it!
Beautiful, sad, thought-provoking – silence can have such an impact on the human soul when love is involved!
I’d like to second this comment, with very kind regards
nice
I love post-its in general they can get across the largest message in the shortest way if that makes sense! Great post and congrats on the FP!
soft powerful words.
Beautiful! Love it! Don’t love that some people feel the need to criticize another writers work though…yes, silence can be a good thing, but in the context of your poem you intended it to portray sadness of loss. I get it
lovely poem
What an amazing concept. “Post-It Poems” I very much enjoy this.

Post-It poems! Brilliant. This is gorgeous and true and written in superb handwriting. Loved it.
Reblogged this on FOOTPRINT 3.0 and commented:
A curiously popular poem by one talented woman.
Neat, economic in style. Not sure about the last line. Silence is SOMETHING even if that something is negative.
that was good
Love this poem. Good job!
good article!
I am a fan of pen and paper poetry. I believe it holds that certain kind of nostalgia that only poets infuse into words so that they might live on into infinite vastness……awaiting a pair of hands to discover it’s lovely vestige, lingering in a place of the past where age was once the hero.
Thank you for sharing such a golden piece of yourself. I appreciate dearly.
So simple and pretty.

Great idea, I wish I was still teaching, it would be fantastic way to start each lesson with the students! I love your poem too, thank you for sharing it.
I wish I had a teacher who would have encouraged Post-It poem writing!
This is really a great idea and the poem is painfully to the point and extraordinary.
definitely,silence is built so:)

I know this is not the focus here – but you have beautiful hand-writing!
