"The rest," sighed Hamlet, "is silence", and fell forever 'mum'! Critics have interpreted that cryptic quote in many ways. Let us not right now get in to these "wise saws" to quote yet another Shakespearean pithy expression. Let us instead try an acrostic on "silence". An attempt after many silences indeed!
Silence: An acrostic
Sweet sister of wisdom
Indeed 'a-kin' to death
Likened often to boredom
Ever an antidote to wasted breath!
Not merely golden as deifi(n)ed by tradition
Certain an opp to hide idle exhibition
Enough empty chatter is apt end 'pose-ition'!
Pratima@ Wise sounds a fool till (s)he opens his/her mouth, the chat app(-erture)! The rest, the remaining, better be silence, a rest indeed to the listener's ear!
