Comedy

Panicked trips down the rabbit hole goes as follows, Far beneath the depths and hollows. Way before first breath of plaque, Meaningless so void and vague. Til death you see we meet again, Born to die and live to sin. Time is out and toll the bell, Body in the wishing well. The truth of lies is in between, No justice here, no peace is seen. Make it stop, please go away, Forget the past, you rue the day. We are all alone no one to blame, Count your years and spell your name. Ride your bikes and play a game. Earn your keep and your father’s name. The ship has sunk and now we float, No need to send a rescue boat. For I shall die here anyway, For I shall die here any day. I’ve dug too deep you see I’m blind, I’ve lost my soul I’ve lost my mind.

Exceptionally original poetry, so outside the norm here on Poetry Soup. The ending of our days in a death knell, tolled like a bell rung has (for me) echoes of John Donne. Congratulations on your win! So well deserved. Brian

Nice job Michael on claiming first prize in my contest out of 75 entries!!! Your words rung original and contrary for me to the opulently optimistic entries throughout. Great job going against the grain and winning me over! Nice work!

You have changed my life. I am honored. To feel validation after 3 decades of suffering, pain, and defeat... I can feel my heart. All of my pain was not in vain. I thank you. I will continue to write and fight the good fight.
