This is my first Sunday 160 of September. Last week I wrote
a poem while waiting in Airport Limbo at LAX. Seems like forever ago.
Check out the other poems Monkey Man & is 160 project help inspire. Hey, you might even decide to write one yourself! For now, here is mine:
SILENCED
Midsentence, my words pause to
inhale -She turns & takes her plate
He leaves to lift his spatula
My cup fills with
embarrassed self
consciousness: silence
Silenced,
what a sizzling title in my eyes.
your 160 is masterfully written,
love the animated word flow.

What a powerful 160. Thanks so much for playing and for coming back to leave a working link. I would have hated to miss this post.

That's one of those natural pauses that people tend to blurt the worst things into.
