They Say Death Is Cruel

Not a cruel master; a humble assistant; To visit or not, cannot be done by his choice. Always carries a portfolio under his arm, A pre designed schedule saying when and where to attend. He comes not, though invited; uninvited, stops not coming. Sometimes comes like an unconventional rain. He is the mark of beginning and ending of life. But how unlucky he is! Always listens to no other emotions except mourning. Silently tolerates all curses showered. His job is endless. No single applause for him. Perhaps, in Nature The one and only who is Blamed for his utmost promptness Let's Mix It Up Poetry Contest Verse poetry form only. Sponsored by: Constance La France Date: 18-10-2021. Placed : 3rd
