Reason A. Poteet Poet Personification

Apocalypso

Death comes to all men 'til death's demise.
Death dances at each man's doorway
creating angst and/or appetite.
Death dances searching his partner's guise.
Mastering pivotal steps paves the way 
for nether worlds or a new birthright.
Death comes to all men until death's demise.

L. J. Carber June 24, 2018 at 2:31 PM This is a poem which deepens on each re-reading-- a rare quality. I learned as a young man that death is a door, not a wall-- and as you posit, the important question is where it leads one's soul--congrats on your win! Reason A. Poteet June 25, 2018 at 11:36 AM What a welcome comment, L.J., I appreciate your remarks.

Poteet June 25, 2018 at 11:38 AM Couldn't resist the pun in the title. There will be some dancing in those final days of the world as we know it now. Thanks so much.
