Silent Movies

Silent movies,
  black and white images, stark
    like naked lies.
Drama and despair,
  silhouetted in gray, bright
    like loves smile.
The silence screams
  under comic timing, contrast
    like evils arched brow.
Silent movies,
  flashes of dark and light, flicker
    like night’s end.

    Oh I see, Grocho Marcs and a blonde woman, I can't remember her name. the gestures and raising of eyebrows. Anyway you brought back a little clip from some movie for me as if I watched it yesterday.
    Wonderful write.

    This is truly a write that illuminates the
    subject written of. I can clearly see these
    noir films and moving lips without sound.
    Bravo for taking-on such an inventive theme.

    Silent movies are so lovely...this does a fine job of capturing their feeling. The grammar is a wee bit distracting though...All-in-all a pleasure to read. Peace
