Hushed Tones

I sing to myself
in a quiet hushed tone
Taking my dreams off the shelf
letting my imagination roam

I mutter sweet nothings
To you in hushed tones
Though you can't hear
The aching in my bones

I wish on the stars
Desperately in hushed tones
to right the wrongs of man
To bring our soldiers home

I cry to myself
in silent hushed tones
letting the remorse wash over
as tears run down my cheekbones

I cry out valiantly!
No longer in hushed tones!
'End this madness!'
'Destroy the clones!'

Shattering glass tinkles to the floor
In ringing hushed tones
As the molds all break
Ending the stereotypical thrones. . .

There's just so much to say with this one...Maybe I should just leave it at...Amazing.

Nice. I like carrying the hushed tones all the way through. I would try to work it a bit more so the syllable count is more uniform, but the poem is very good.

Crap. You're so good!

This is also a great write. Starts off slowly and gradually gains speed. Like waking up and rushing into the day. It builds and builds urging the reader to quicken their pace along with the write. and then, bam it ends.

I agree that this is a wonderful piece because the tone changes gradually through the piece. Well done!!

[MissWordSmith]

I liked this. It started off pretty normal but ended on a crazy note!
I mean, like the person in the poem slowly went mad thinking all that.
But, nice write. I liked how you used "hushed tones" in so many different ways
Keep writing!
