Crowd Noise
62
Here's a short little poem I wrote today. It's best read out loud. Pay very close attention to the line breaks and punctuation, or you may lose something in the translation.
Crowd Noise
faceless
shapeless blobs
wordless
droning mobs
nameless
gathered globs
blahbuzz
blah bluh blahs

Verbally tongue twisting!!!
Thanks Aurelio.. most poems have layers... no reason this one can't :-) I like your interpretation
That's ardie. That's funny. I'm glad you can follow instructions!
"Shapeless blobs" is a particularly apt description of the typical American due to lack of diet and exercise. I know, your beautiful poem wasn't about that, but that's the first thing that popped into my head. Voting this Up and Beautiful.
Thats a cute little poem! I read it out loud and giggled at the end because I got all tongue-tied :) So then it really did sound like crowd noise. Blihuahdkbuhblub
b. malin, thanks so much and yes it is :-)
racini, thanks so much. The older I get, the less interested I am in crowds
thanks drtruthman. I'm glad this makes sense to you now :-)
ruby, i agree. people lose individuality in a crowd
But isn''t that Life, KaraokeGuy, "BLAH, BLAH, with a few more words mixed in? Especially in a Crowded room. Interesting Concept my friend, Interesting...
i share your misgiving about going in public places, it's really difficult to be heard...too short yet impressive...
You are so right as more people have commented I read, it does make more sense. Thanks for the come back. Good job.
I have been there and done that, voices all around, not understanding a word spoken, all sounding like Blah, Blah, Blah. Hum Drum, Ho Hum...
Drtruthman, maybe read some of the comments it'll help clear it up :-) Thanks for reading and commenting!
Yes, frank. Sometimes I think I'm agoraphobic!
Gypsy, thanks for reading and comment. I like your interpretation
rosemay, you hit the nail on the head. Thanks for commenting!
Funny and interesting but with the others, I don't really get it.
effective... blah blah bluh blah and just like a loud crowd you can't even hear yourself think PDX
At least made me think of those times when a crowd of people become as if one giant face from which utter different sounds but you can't pinpoint where they or who they come from.
Yeah I get it. Such noisy crowds but you could not pick a word out that they are saying or be able to descibe one person in the mob
Vincent, I remembered that poem. it was very good. i suppose they do have similarities!
Kelly, that's actually a pretty brilliant statement :-)
It reminded me of a poem I wrote back a few months ago. "Rippled Faces" Faces always have plenty of words to describe them, well done my poetic friend.
Oh PDX - I was thinking of a collage of photographs - and how loud the silence can be - yeah I am weird:) lol
linda and tara, i changed the name. I want my readers to think, but not be utterly confused :-)
Very creative. I only got it after reading the comments. Voted up.
I got it now!! Woot!! Come on Audrey you can do it!:)
Linda and Audrey, I was trying capture that sound and the sights when you see a crowd. You don't words and you don't see bodies or faces. I've made some revisions. Hopefully its clearer now :-)
You lost me at caca!! lol
I didn't get it! I am so sad!
