    The use of a lowercase ‘i’ while keeping other letters capitalised is visually striking. It makes the text feel raw, fragmented, and urgent. The ending packs a real punch – despite all our noise, our words lack permanence or true meaning – great piece thanks for taking part 🙌

      It was my pleasure! What a great prompt and thank you for your kind words.

    too much noise, too much information. In the end we hear nothing. 👏🏽

      A little bit less would be a gift. Thank you for responding!

    Svenja, I very much like how “WAVES ON TOP OF WAVES” makes the noise feel big and crashing in my head, and then the poem ends with “NOTHiNG” … so quiet and sad 🌊

      David, yes, the noise can be so, so loud. Let us try to listen instead.

    I’m with you — there’s way too much nothing being said. Silence can say so much more.
