Raven Now Among the Dead

. The scent of Tube Roses Is so overpowering From the bouquet That is on the casket Allergeric nasal passages swelling The dress that my family chose For me to wear is so lovely I just adore black silk and organdy Can't wait until I can get up I want to play with my gun Target practice for a while I want to be prepared to kill That man who left me at the alter Seeing him in his grave will be so gratifying The sound of the hearse coming is so clear Even though it is so far away So little time here on this earth Wanted my life to be so different The hearse is getting close Tonight I will get to play In the graveyard where my love does lie When the hearse arrives They will take me away To rest in peace so they say But I'll roam the graveyard Where my former lover lies I'll wait for his ghost to rise Then I'll blow him away on this eve I will do it once again with ease Constance La France's Among The Dead Constest Written by; Sara Kendrick

I had only read a couple of the poems and wanted so badly to enter but...too many things were going on and didn't get to. I knew Constance would have a time selecting her winners. There is a long list of winners here. You should be so proud of your winning poem congratulations Sara. Love, Carol

WOW!!! where did this come from? i'm not sure; i think i'm the one that got blowed away. you knocked my socks off with this piece. the images and emotions. but mostly the conversation that i enjoyed emensly as you told me intimately the things that were to come. or could it have been a letter so well writen. any way i loved it JOHN HENRY LOVING III

I love this one. Such an imagination! If I were the judge you would be the winner without a doubt. Did I tell you that Nicolo Paganini, the great Italian violin virtuoso played for the dead in various graveyards. Love, Dave

Sara, glad to learn you enjoyed my "Earthlings" poem. Your poem above is a good effort at the 'Dead' contest. I couldn't think of a darn thing for that contest. Six more weeks of Winter here in Michigan- I think I'll make it. Hugs, ~Jim MeanderthalMan
