Days of Silence (197-392) (Prose Poem) by impert&ent
31-Aug It never occurred to me that you might not want to go 01-Sep The near-death experience brought new ideas to light. 02-Sep All I really need to know in life I learned in Tatoeba 03-Sep He looked behind the door and didn't like what he saw. 04-Sep Potato wedges probably are not best for relationships. 05-Sep Shakespeare was a famous 17th-century diesel mechanic. 06-Sep The bees decided to have a mutiny against their queen. 07-Sep The truth is that you pay for your lifestyle in hours. 08-Sep Tom was overwhelmed by the amount of work he had to do 09-Sep He uses onomatopoeia as a weapon of mental destruction. 10-Sep I ate a sock because people on the Internet told me to. 11-Sep It was her first experience training a rainbow unicorn. 12-Sep Plans for this weekend include turning wine into water. 13-Sep She went out of the room in silence and closed the door 14-Sep Sometimes you have to just give up and win by cheating. 15-Sep The pigs were insulted that they were named hamburgers. 16-Sep We have never been to Asia, nor have we visited Africa. 17-Sep He had a vague sense that trees gave birth to dinosaurs. 18-Sep He had decided to accept his fate of accepting his fate. 19-Sep I don't know the reason why Tom and Mary don't get along 20-Sep The fish listened intently to what the frogs had to say. 21-Sep The swirled lollipop had issues with the pop rock candy. 22-Sep We will not allow you to bring your pet armadillo along. 23-Sep Beach-combing replaced wine tasting as his new obsession. 24-Sep I currently have 4 windows open up… and I don’t know why. 25-Sep Some bathing suits just shouldn’t be worn by some people. 26-Sep The doll spun around in circles in hopes of coming alive. 27-Sep With a single flip of the coin, his life changed forever. 28-Sep Happiness can be found in the depths of chocolate pudding. 29-Sep He swept her off her feet and her head hit the ceiling fan 30-Sep In the end, he realized he could see sound and hear words. 01-Oct Pintails that far south do not put on the fat our ducks do 02-Oct There are so many stars in the sky, I can't count them all 03-Oct Eating eggs on Thursday for choir practice was recommended. 04-Oct He wasn't bitter that she had moved on but from the radish. 05-Oct I just want to continue working on the things we worked on 06-Oct It caught him off guard that space smelled of seared steak. 07-Oct The fox in the tophat whispered into the ear of the rabbit. 08-Oct The rain pelted the windshield as the darkness engulfed us. 09-Oct The tart lemonade quenched her thirst, but not her longing. 10-Oct This made him feel like an old-style rootbeer float smells. 11-Oct Behind the window was a reflection that only instilled fear. 12-Oct He decided water-skiing on a frozen lake wasn’t a good idea. 13-Oct I would be delighted if the sea were full of cucumber juice. 14-Oct She only paints with bold colors; she does not like pastels. 15-Oct She was the type of girl who wanted to live in a pink house. 16-Oct The waves were crashing on the shore; it was a lovely sight. 17-Oct He didn't understand why the bird wanted to ride the bicycle. 18-Oct He's in a boy band which doesn't make much sense for a snake. 19-Oct Should you run into trouble, I'll help, and so will my father 20-Oct The irony of the situation wasn't lost on anyone in the room. 21-Oct A suit of armor provides excellent sun protection on hot days. 22-Oct New office buildings seem to be sprouting up all over the city 23-Oct The elephant didn't want to talk about the person in the room. 24-Oct The paintbrush was angry at the color the artist chose to use. 25-Oct The past days don't determine what will happen in the new year 26-Oct The past days don't determine what will happen in the new year 27-Oct Tom wondered if Mary knew John had spent three years in prison 28-Oct He wondered if it could be called a beach if there was no sand. 29-Oct The beauty of the sunset was obscured by the industrial cranes. 30-Oct The waitress was not amused when he ordered green eggs and ham. 31-Oct Tom hopes you understand why he can't take part in your protest 01-Nov It turns out you don't need all that stuff you insisted you did. 02-Nov The house with the full-size bars is the best house on the block 03-Nov They did nothing as the raccoon attacked the lady’s bag of food. 04-Nov All they could see was the blue water surrounding their sailboat. 05-Nov Allow me to invoke the for the sake of racing motif one more time 06-Nov Charles ate the french fries knowing they would be his last meal. 07-Nov I personally don’t want my daughter to live in a vacuum, she said 08-Nov I purchased a baby clown from the Russian terrorist black market. 09-Nov Jamie Stuart may have just created the first Oscar-worthy YouTube video 10-Nov When that didn't happen there was some pouting, but then there was Siri 11-Nov tech companies lack the adequate privacy protections required by EU law 12-Nov I always hated dodgeball, especially after the ball hit me in the face 13-Nov That would make Eustace fall at a slight angle, and therefore not spin 14-Nov He may have lowbrow tastes but at least he's not snooty and conceited 15-Nov Two-plus million net new workers is 12 typical months of job creation 16-Nov U.S.: Who is Guy Fawkes and why are these protesters wearing his mask 17-Nov The spring 2012 issue of Dissent is devoted in part to food politics 18-Nov and every student carries a laptop (required) and a smartphone ( not) 19-Nov Now Taylor is using ‘bioinspiration’ to design a better solar panel 20-Nov We're right on the cusp of it." Thanks to Ross Andersen for the tip 21-Nov I'm going to tell you something about Tom that you might not know 22-Nov I'm the one who told Tom he didn't need to attend today's meeting 23-Nov It would be better if you didn't tell Tom what Mary did yesterday 24-Nov That should have been a great environment for investment, he says 25-Nov I have no striking or moving anecdote, having never visited Gaza 26-Nov I know it's very difficult to understand why Tom did what he did 27-Nov I wanted to help Tom understand what Mary was trying to tell him 28-Nov Music is not a language. But some languages are music to my ears 29-Nov “Will this be the last word in dog domestication?” asks Thalmann 30-Nov High school guidance counselors tell every kid to go to college 01-Dec It was very hard to anticipate how Tom would react to this news 02-Dec Mary undid her hair and opened one of the buttons of her blouse 03-Dec The baby is usually born with some level of circulating opioids 04-Dec had no proof of nuclear weapons in Iraq when they said they did 05-Dec Those are all things in their control and they tried to do it 06-Dec Tell Tom I'm sorry I wasn't able to be at his birthday party 07-Dec The sun had gone down, and twilight was deepening into night 08-Dec Third, the "Fun Stuff," as Vice President Joe Biden calls it 09-Dec This writer spent several years in the field with the troops 10-Dec He said talks were the only solution to the nuclear impasse 11-Dec I was dying to know what these kids imagined for themselves 12-Dec It's amazing how Tom was able to do that with just one hand 13-Dec The probe will target one of the system’s two sunlike stars 14-Dec In an age of irony, the Lytro offers a welcome earnestness 15-Dec The last time I saw Tom he was wearing a blue baseball cap 16-Dec the way his voice moves from gravelly to smooth to sublime 17-Dec The potential consequences are extensive and unpredictable 18-Dec There is no sign that Trump will push for such exceptions 19-Dec When we were kids, Tom and I did a lot of things together 20-Dec video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo playe 21-Dec I told her the truth. I just added a few embellishments 22-Dec I was looking at the sun setting in the sea in the west 23-Dec I’ve given them a few swift kicks myself over the years 24-Dec They don’t rotate the stock the way it’s supposed to be 25-Dec Diana Ross and Michael Jackson—together!—couldn't do it 26-Dec He told me he met Perepilichny 30 years ago, in Moscow 27-Dec You don't have to go to the dance if you don't want to 28-Dec *mumble* *mumble*...” And one-star reviewer Victoria L 29-Dec I told Tom to go to the safest place I could think of 30-Dec You're going to turn a lot of heads with that dress 31-Dec I have no reason not to do what Tom asked me to do 01-Jan And e-cigarettes are the closest approximation yet 02-Jan Give me a buzz if you feel like going out tonight 03-Jan Jayana Johnston couldn’t afford to finish college 04-Jan I wish I could get Tom to show me how to do that 05-Jan These episodes in turn generate revenge killings 06-Jan Six months later, those claims remain unfounded 07-Jan Plenty of presidents are remembered less fondly 08-Jan Yet there's actually nothing obvious about this 09-Jan Marriage as an institution has changed overtime 10-Jan An avalanche doesn't just come out of the blu 11-Jan People are highly responsive to food triggers 12-Jan Such a move would need parliamentary approval 13-Jan Drug Enforcement Agency of drug-trafficking 14-Jan Melania Trump is not running for president 15-Jan Then things really got difficult for Rosen 16-Jan Urban Outfitters was flat on that measure 17-Jan French has many more vowels than Japanese 18-Jan Why should anyone care about forage fish 19-Jan I've got something important to tell you 20-Jan Look for planets Mercury, Mars and Venus 21-Jan No one knows exactly where Obama stands 22-Jan It’s not unlike what Waymo has executed 23-Jan Enter Ivan the Terrible, the first tsar 24-Jan The Himalayas are higher than the Alps 25-Jan If so, prosecutors may not even bother 26-Jan The answer is a four-letter word: Uber 27-Jan (Get your bottle-of-soda costume ready 28-Jan Ted Cruz passed along flowers as well 29-Jan Why not write that into the amendment 30-Jan The changes I’ve ordered do just that 31-Jan “No,” the surgeon replied in an email 01-Feb Take this car chase scene from Bullit 02-Feb It's all happening a little too fast 03-Feb I don’t want to draw direct lessons 04-Feb it is futuristic and it is backward 05-Feb There's no other legal basis for it 06-Feb One moment children were playacting 07-Feb Phones are becoming digital cameras 08-Feb She might be something of a genius 09-Feb There's something I want you to do 10-Feb MHB here, VFYW here, and FOTD here 11-Feb Answers: whales, puerto rico, thre 12-Feb What would you say to these women 13-Feb That misperception causes the U.S 14-Feb View the complete Toolkit archive 15-Feb Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat 16-Feb It does slow, prodding gradualism 17-Feb This shift is not rooted in fact 18-Feb Tom said that there was one left 19-Feb I think you might need some help 20-Feb Updated on March 21 at 5:15 p.m 21-Feb Whoever told you that is a liar 22-Feb (Greater was a Greater flamingo 23-Feb There’s not one,” Price replied 24-Feb Betty Short became my obsession 25-Feb This effort is already underway 26-Feb Her name was often on his lips 27-Feb This is Charlie Sheen's legacy 28-Feb Start with his family pedigree 01-Mar And also, yes, Charlize Theron 02-Mar But what about Wang's argument 03-Mar Will they pursue regime change 04-Mar No wonder we all procrastinate 05-Mar I would like to become a poet 06-Mar It is not uncommon in the U.S 07-Mar Embassy workers on high alert 08-Mar And not just terrorist groups 09-Mar Image: Larry Downing / Reuter 10-Mar Games are devices we operate 11-Mar Find another movie to direct 12-Mar It's not sweeping tax reform

Poemranker was silent between February 15, 2019 and March 13, 2020. We had nothing to say for 390 days. I have filled that gap with one-line poems to make 56 weekly stanzas. We are now whole again.

Reads like headlines but it gripped me all the way through. Love how "Tom" lines and "Mary" are interspersed here and there. You would not think such a poem would work but I think it does! Enjoyed this! Remembered reading some of these...it engaged my thought, had some humor, did make me think! Enjoyable.
