where our actions speak loudest

Participating in d'Verse Poet's Pub Friday Poetics with Sheila Moore. For today’s Poetics, the silent film era is the prompt. The object, to write about one of the actors, compare and contrast silent films with present-day movies, or maybe write a parody of one of the above scenes.
Great haiku on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteYes, true and well done.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Ginny. Without all the gee-whiz technology and scores by John Williams to further the plot, the silent film actors really had to ACT. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteLuved the haiku. Very creative and acccurate.

I second what everyone already commented but also wanted to add that your haiku makes for some great real-life wisdom as well. Example is the best teacher and "talk is cheap"
ReplyDelete- wish I could think of a less cliched phrase but its way past my bedtime (smiles)
I am so glad you joined in with us. Thanks :)
nice...i like...kinda on the same wavelength there ginny...and some nice wisdom there too....
ReplyDeleteWe didn't appreciate exactly how good these silent actors had to be, using sometimes even just a facial expression to convey a mood. Lovely Haiku
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful brevity. Wonderful expression of the prompt!

smart, true and wise. I went to bed last night thinking in haiku thoughts... glad you wrote yours down =) Beautiful.
ReplyDeletecool your few words say the same as my poem although mine uses more words ...thank you really appreciate it
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I agree, but great haiku. I'll have to ponder that one.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a (sometime) actor, I can tell you you're right on the money. Nice take on a not so easy prompt.
ReplyDeleteI believe it... and nice haiku form ~
