Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Dead Or Alive -

The wolves howling at the height of his past life

As a strangled breath from the grave

The air feels heavy and smells rotten soil

He never forgot his great love

The woman who was his passion

Links and bells chime in the wind

The taste of vintage wine

His blood rushes through a gloriously red rose

The last restraint is gone

If death is a caress, what is life ?

His bride will be transported on a white horse

Gary Bateman August 29, 2016 at 7:55 AM Most Excellent Dear Anne-Lise (also known as "Sister Grimm")!! Congratulations on POTW!! I missed this one, but I'm glad I got to it now!! I can fully see and realize now that the curse of the "Brothers Grimm" (Liam and me) has fully affected you now, which is good. You do very well with the Macabre!! The message and the imagery of this free verse is perfect. And, I really like your choice of attached pictures with the skeleton and holding the "red rose." SEVEN/FAV!! Best!! Sister Grimm!!
