MURMUR

For One Single Impression


MURMUR

Murmur breaks silence
Word is spread, volume builds up
To a crescendo

    It almost sounds like the murmur becomes the rumor (or maybe the buzz). What happens after the crescendo? I will, in fact, pass it on.

    Murmurs can do that. And then the declining of the sound....

    Loved this...I got a visual image of a funnel cloud when reading your words.

    It is!

    And can turn a murmur to beyond control!

    Building to crescendo - indeed, murmurs can do exactly that - excellent.

    Love the idea of the murmur breaking silence instead of causing it. Thanks!
