Decrescendo

Dissonance clangs, a cacophonous dischord inside my
head, sets heavy chimes spinning like tonnes of lead,
unravelling in a screech and groan, no apology, no
leaving me alone, but drowning out, less
often now, more a whimper than a howl,
softening to a lighter tone, in shades of
less blatant monochrome, slipping
through a thinner veil, simply
gliding and now standing
still, so delicate they
meet their death, to
start again with
a single
breath

The glorious death of cacophonous, loud, annoying, noisy things.

  • Thanks littlestmonkey. I wouldn’t mind doing another one with a shape. It’s an interesting challenge!

  • Ta. For my next challenge I am going to do Crescendo…. I think this will be harder still!

    Ugh. The editor on here reformats the text to be from the left margin so I will not be able to post an inverse shape on here. Poohs.
