THE TASTE OF TRUTH
Designed on Canva
Bitter, they say
Even more piercing at its sound
A strike of pain
A response averting
Leading to an ugly experience
Emotionally hurt
Unpleasant atmosphere
Throughts creeping in
A heated moment
Where is the silence?
Silence, a meaning creeping in
An ingredient of change
Acceptable process
Tasting flavourful
Leaving everyone stunned
Truth embraced
Emotions normalized
Actions taken
Truth accepted
More expected
Embracing the truth is an ingredient for change.

I like this. What I notice first is the form: the use of a similar form in the first and third stanza, the introductory word set off with a comma, the present participle beginning the final line. You have here, as Whitman said, the law of your own poem. Next I notice the extended 'taste' metaphor. And finally the rhyme to finish the poem, which works very well. With regard to the meaning: silence as an ingredient of change gives me something to ponder. I'm not sure I would think of silence that way. So you've given me something to think about and perhaps a new reason to appreciate silence. Nice job all in all.
Thanks so much. I'm glad you like it. I appreciate how you analysed it, trying to read meaning into it.
Haha, I'm just noticing that the first and third have a similar pattern; it wasn't intentional, but I'm glad it happened that way.
Whenever I begin a poem, it flows, and the structure forms. Sometimes, I could write the last stanza after the first one, then continue with the middle ones.
There are numerous reasons for silence, and in this poem I wrote, "silence" is a pause to reason and reflect on the truth.
I'm glad to leave you with something to ponder on from my poem, and hopefully, you will appreciate silence even more.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. I appreciate your presence on my blog post.
