Ooko’s prompt guidelines

“Voices Beneath the Silence”

Write a poem that gives voice to what is usually left unsaid — a buried truth, a silenced voice, a hidden struggle, or the quiet ache of the heart. Let your words speak for what the world tends to overlook: an internal conflict, a marginalized experience, a truth tucked between breaths.

You may write from personal experience, an imagined lens, or even embody the voice of an inanimate object or force of nature. All forms and lengths are welcome — whether you choose free verse, haiku, sonnet, prose poetry, or something entirely your own.

Optional: Weave in metaphors of sound, silence, echoes, or resonance to deepen your imagery.

This prompt invites vulnerability, transformation, and truth-telling. Let your poem be a space where the unspeakable is finally heard.

Hidden Strife

moonlight glows across a field
hidden shadows come and go
saddened thoughts no longer yield
as loss is felt just as I know

the pitter patter sound of the rain
is like my heart beat sound
for through my body I feel pain
no peace within yet found

but love I have and call to mind
still present in my life
for some of us still left behind
are left with hidden strife
