I’m not a librarian but

I belong to
The Order of Silence
and so in turn
I shall quietly
give you a word
from my verse
of hush.

Shush!

Funilly enough had cause to speak to a family of two adults and two young teenage children who invaded the 'Quiet' pool in our hotel in Sharm el Sheikh today. So this absolutely ticlkeled me. Short and humour filled.

Haha don’t you just love it! Lol. At my work we have two lunch rooms one is suppose to be quiet but there’s always one that will ruin the ambience. Thanks John. The hotel sounds like some kebab on the menu.

Definately kebab Andrew, but hoping we are not on the menu of any sharks!

Thank you Arundass.

I tell this to the voices in my head all the time. I'm not a librarian either, but I am a curator of some pretty vocal and insistent personalities. This poem reminded me how important it is to keep taking my meds. That probably wasn't your intent, but I enjoyed the mental slap down I gave the echo of all my bad decisions! I offer you quietly whispered thanks!

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Zoe I understand.

Silence is still golden in my book. Quietness gives us time to think and reflect.

I agree totally Chris, thank you for stopping by.

I do enjoy this short little poem about a librarian. I really like how you used a common phrase that has been made common through books and movies into a poem. However I think you need to add a message into the poem something that the reader could learn to make this poem a little more meaningful. As suggestion you could a couple more stanzas talking about how silence isn't always a bad thing.

[andrew mitchell]

It’s not about a librarian as such but the reference is a library is quiet. And silence is about saying very few words hence the brevity. Thank you Scott for you4 words.

Well better than shut up. Lol
You are kind indeed to say that to her; did you get slapped?
I love it
Silence is golden in libraries.

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Sami and no one got slapped.

[Sami Khalil]
