Notes About The Poem

Our best friend passed away suddenly on a Friday night - he didn't even get to enjoy his weekend - It happened fifteen years ago. Still grieving.

Cheated, Cruel Death Cometh

on a friday night no less
death struck
     the weekend robber

Ruthless certainly shakes up the word death. This poem has taught me that in a big way, Line. Kudos!

I know, Daniel. Haikus are unclear by nature, that's why I love titles that give a context. Thank you so much for your visit and comment. Much appreciated.
