The
prompt today was to write "a poem based in sound." There was the literal approach: a poem filled with onomatopoeia. Sizzle, sizzle, hissss, purrr. Well that didn't yield much (just breakfast foods and a cat). I wanted to write a poem that had the rhythm of a train but I couldn't even begin to think of how to do that. So I don't know what this will even be. But the day is almost over here and I owe a poem.

An open door
And the most unsettling sound of all
Empty
Unsettling
Silence.
