Quiet
I wish you would just cease
this perpetual prattle.
Your voice
a magpie’s cry
lamenting imagined losses.
Written to follow along with ABC Wednesday, and inspired by a situation in my life where I just want to shake someone and tell them to STFU.
my words are alive 
Love your poem – evokes images for me. At first I thought you were going to talk about the quarter moon, but the poem is great! Have a wonderful week,

Thank you!
I appreciate the desire for quiet; I live next to college students.
I do too! Luckily, they’re mostly quiet this semester.
