hi there, I love the poem. the wording is great and has a great message. I love the question of what is silence. it's so powerful I love the background, but I did notice that it was a little hard to read the text. maybe change the color a little but still, overall it was great

Hi, Pineapple here for a little review!

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It was short and sweet. I like how you guys seem to question silence throughout the whole poem. Leaving the reader wonder, "Is there such thing as silence?".

My favorite line was "Silence isn't always silent/It is a blank page waiting to be filled/And your head it the pen". I honestly think that was genius. You made a sort of analogy to help the reader better understand what you're saying.

The one thing I would say for this is to maybe change the background. It was very difficult to read, I had to zoom in. I suggest either changing the background or bold the words so they stand out more.

Overall, great job, you guys! Keep up the great work!

Signed,

Pineapple

Hello! Book_Dragon here for a quick review.

I really like this poem, and the background that you chose! I think the black and white, the mist, the puddle, and the reflection compliment the subject in an excellent way. To me, the picture looks like silence, if that makes sense. Very good.
My favorite part of the poem is the end, when it says "silence isn't always silent." How true is that! I also love: "But whether it is a beautiful drawing / or a page full of scribbles / is up to you." It's just amazing. *chef's kiss*

I only have one short critique for this. It is a little difficult to read the poem with the color you chose, especially the first stanza and the second to last line. I suggest changing the color to one that contrasts a little bit more, or maybe making the words bold. It's up to you guys!

Very nice poem again! Keep writing,
