yes of course. most people make sounds when they die. no one was around to hear it but he still made the sound.....most likely.

That does seem to depend on your definition of "sound." If by that word, you mean merely the creation of propagating waves in the air, then yes he does. However, to identify something as a sound, you might consider that it would need to be heard by someone. Although you could then argue that the poet will hear himself, and so there is in fact a sound.

zRunner, Some poets stink while they are still alive!
Maybe the poet made the following sounds:
"Ah, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud,
I fall upon the thorns of life. I bleed, I die"
Or maybe just a resounding THUD.

Oh, Dark prince! You, of all poets, please don't die in the forest of doom! Stay here and the beautiful rays of light! If you do leave and die in the forest of doom, we will miss you. You were great! You made someones day each and everytime! You will be missed greatly.........
( i doubt he makes one single sound except for a weak, last breath-taking "Good....bye.."......)

They make a sound, an ipression, and history. No one was around, but soon all would know. lol
kinda random, dont 'cha think? Goodbye? I dont follow.
My neighbor was found dead in the woods. He was 17 and he was on drugs. They were doing drugs, him and his friends, and he passed out. His friends panicked and left him there to die. Some friends, huh?

If he makes a sound of dying as he dies, then he himself
will hear it and therefore yes
the definition of sound will be satisfied.
But if at the moment of his true death he is truly dead,
then his ears will be deaf to it even as he expires
and his death could be unhonor'd, unsung, and unhear'd.

thats a deep question. I'm not sure if my intellect is strong enough to answer it. YES. Logically he does make a noise. But technically, no one will know what there was to hear as he was dying because no one was there to hear it. So he will die a symbollically quiet death.

Well, the poet's there. So there's someone there.
The poet's duty is say the unsayable so, even in death, even in silent solitude, he is going to say what can not be said.

Yes, another poet can hear.
