Hi Kit, I just read your dramatic "Silenced Melody" and I am taking a closer look for my second review at I Write.

My first impression was my last impression, so much in so tiny a poem. I could read the whole thing in one glance, who wouldn't read this when presented.

The challenge to write a poem in exactly 19 syllables. Many wrote a sentence and broke it into lines, you wrote poetry. Your short piece communicates not just a happening but an emotion.

The word tsunami is written without an article "a" or "the" which which not only describes the natural event, it personalizes the event and gives it more power.

I was struck by the loss of the last note as if I watched it wash away to sea. Nicely written.
