Hi cloudy,
I like this very much and the concept I appreciate because I did exactly the same thing about 10 years ago where I just wrote what I heard. I posted it on here as my second poem http://pigpenpoetry.com/showthread.php?tid=9802 but either people didn't get it or it was just one of those things, although rowens did comment on it and gave some helpful advice.
I like what you've done with yours in the sense of adding the visual aspect and had you posted it without the explanation I would of read it in a different way, but still as a good poem.
I appreciate the concept very much because the majority of poetry is visual based which is understandable, and that is partly why I tried to tackle the subject but I think it's more difficult to describe sounds than it is visual scenes. But I also think it is something worth pursuing even just as an exercise. Part of the reason why I wrote my 'sound poem' was based on a Buddhist meditation that I read about where you concentrate on how many sounds you can hear individually and try and keep track of them all at the same time, and I think the idea is that the last sound you come down to is your breathing.
Thanks for the read and I appreciate the concept.
