      When Silence is Heard

      by | Mar 30, 2026 | Poems, Poetry

      When silence is heard poem

      In quiet rooms where whispers fade,
      I hold the words I’m slow to trade.
      No eager ear nor friendly gaze,
      Just watchful walls that keep my days.

      A thousand thoughts like scattered sand,
      Slip through the spaces of my hand.
      Who counts them all? Who hears them fall?
      He knows. He listens. Knows them all.

      I need no crowd to weigh my heart,
      No vows that fail or drift apart.
      When voices fail and doors are shut,
      He is enough. My soul is shut.

      The secrets kept in silent air,
      He gathers gently in His care.
      The tears I hide behind my eyes,
      He measures deep. He hears my sighs.

      When no one stays and none remain,
      He mends the seams of unseen pain.
      In quiet trust I find my part:
      He is enough to fill my heart
      When silence is heard

      Spring

      By Elfriede Jelinek

      Translated By Michael Hofmann

      april breath

      of  boyish red

      the tongue crushes

      strawberry dreams

                                        hack away wound

                                        and wound the fountain

      and on the mouth

      perspiration white

      from someone's neck

      a little tooth

      has bit the finger

      of  the bride the

                                        tabby yellow and sere

                                        howls

      the red boy

      from the gable flies

      an animal hearkens

      in his white throat

                                        his juice runs down

                                        pigeon thighs

      a pale sweet spike

      still sticks

      in woman white

      lard

      an april breath

      of  boyish red

      The Spring

      The Spring

      By Thomas Carew

      Now that the winter's gone, the earth hath lost

      Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost

      Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream

      Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;

      But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,

      And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth

      To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree

      The drowsy cuckoo, and the humble-bee.

      Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring

      In triumph to the world the youthful Spring.

      The valleys, hills, and woods in rich array

      Welcome the coming of the long'd-for May.

      Now all things smile, only my love doth lour;

      Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power

      To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold

      Her heart congeal'd, and makes her pity cold.

      The ox, which lately did for shelter fly

      Into the stall, doth now securely lie

      In open fields; and love no more is made

      By the fireside, but in the cooler shade

      Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep

      Under a sycamore, and all things keep

      Time with the season; only she doth carry

      June in her eyes, in her heart January.

      At the Equinox

      At the Equinox

      By Arthur Sze

      The tide ebbs and reveals orange and purple sea stars.

      I have no theory of radiance,

                      but after rain evaporates

      off pine needles, the needles glisten.

      In the courtyard, we spot the rising shell of a moon,

      and, at the equinox, bathe in its gleam.

      Using all the tides of starlight,

                      we find

                      vicissitude is our charm.

      On the mud flats off Homer,

      I catch the tremor when waves start to slide back in;

      and, from Roanoke, you carry

                      the leafing jade smoke of willows.

      Looping out into the world, we thread

                      and return. The lapping waves

      cover an expanse of mussels clustered on rocks;

      and, giving shape to what is unspoken,

                      forsythia buds and blooms in our arms.

      Word of the Day Assertive

      by | Mar 24, 2026 | Word of the Day, Emerald Book Club, Vocabulary

      Word of the Day: Assertive

      Words shape how we communicate, express ideas, and engage with the world around us. Today’s Word of the Day, assertive, is a powerful term that reflects confidence, clarity, and respectful self-expression—qualities that are essential in both literature and community dialogue.

      At Emerald Book Club, being assertive is not about dominance—it is about finding your voice and using it effectively.
