Cemetery poetry contest, sponsored by Constance La france.

Souls in the Cemetery

“Death is the last chapter in time, but the first chapter in eternity.” – Author unknown

Life
Lived, now-
departed.
Souls gathered at -
cemetery graves.
Spirits now free,
and at peace.
To rest. 
Death

CayCay Jennings Date: 6/8/2025 6:10:00 PM Very good! I'm glad to see Constance placed a succinct styled poem as sweet as this. Not that I thought she wouldn't, just never thought about it except I always felt she liked long lines. What do I know? (Other than I hate AI). Poetry hugs ...

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 6/4/2025 5:26:00 AM Dear Tania, A very nice gentle meditation with so much meaning in so few words. The way you honor both the sorrow of parting and the peace that follows is beautiful. Every ending is also a beginning, and that love and spirit continue beyond the last page. Wonderful! Spring Blessings, Dear Tania Login to Reply Tania Kitchin Date: 6/4/2025 3:53:00 PM Daniel, thank you.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 5/31/2025 8:00:00 AM Graveyards are a funny thing. We see gravestones all around, but no people, yet their bodies lie just below the surface. Love how you started…very cool. Then souls gathered, spirits free. A peacefulness, yet also jarred by death. Rest and death have a different feel. Great work, Poet! These brevity poems can be so deep!
