RE: Untold

in #poetry7 years ago

I liked this one. It was quite simple to comprehend. First saying that consonants hold all the meaning, and then compare that to the secrets being like those consonants. The people cannot speak back, so the secret is safe as the vowels are repeated without substance.

Unrelated to the poem, did you know that our brain assumes that the top picture is 'brighter' than the bottom half? Something I learnt recently, related to the attention part of our brain being on the right-side, therefore attending more to the left side. Over-simplifying and totally unrelated topic, but I love this fact haha.

Exactly @poetrybyjeremy, sometimes keeping it simple is best (but not easy to do). I din't know but did think the top was brighter - now I know why! I love learning - just don't test me on it.
