Katzaniel Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 OOC: This is the first poem I have written in a few years, and the first non-rhyming poem I have ever written for myself. It was inspired by the emotions of finding out about the death of someone that knew, if not very well. Death's voice is soft Like Angel's feather wings But reality is harsh And the gravel tones touch us all. Death's robe swishes in the moonlight He treads with a slow step Carefully around the flowers in the garden But his presence hurts us anyway. Death is crying And so am I He hugs me and I succumb But our lives are void of a person we knew. Death's voice is soft.
Vigil StarGazer Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Interesting personalization for Death. Very well done.
dragonqueen Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 Yes, an interesting portrayal of Death. "Death crying" invokes a strange emotion... I liked this persona of Death, especially "Death's voice is soft." Almost seems like it could be a more haunting portayal than the usual.
Katzaniel Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Posted April 7, 2004 Thanks all. I appreciate the comments. Didn't mean it to be haunting, but I guess it can't help but be, can it? Ayshela: do you mean Death is irresistable? I didn't mean this to refer to suicide, and I really hope that's not how you feel. At any rate: *hugs back*
