Poetry: The Undertaker's Burial by Sanchez01: 9:00am On Jan 21, 2015 |
Hello poets ... I've never really had the grace to post on this section like I intended... Below is a poem I wrote years back and I'll be glad if reviews, criticisms/analysis are suggested. Enjoy! The Undertaker’s Burial He sees the dead cryo-sleep Their final snooze; Underwhelm by the inert Populaces he bids farewell – good, His Gold-watch tic with the tac of interval; Oh! Another funeral service waits, For the soulless man who succour souls. He forgets the fleeting Nature of Time; Death came in as he would unto all men, To the undertaker, his soul he gashed; Now the realities are here, Who will collect his stiff? For I, am scared of mortality; The motionless body kills me; I am aware I will freeze someday, Till then I say I’ll wait. But at the moment The Undertaker’s Body in the morgue Is our worry. |

Quite an interesting piece...a free verse i suppose Though a few of the tenses are not very clear viz line 3, I guess 'underwhelm' ciuld better be in the past tense, line 4 too, I suggest 'bid' . I enjoyed several lines, thanks for posting 1 Like |
