Death

When Death comes calling home, There's nowhere we can hide, He has such a vast dome, Can't escape his flood tide, Death, he blows us over, He crushes us with grief, His nasty hangover Will give us no relief, Death, he pulls us deeper Into a tangled mess, He's the bad Grim Reaper, Who shrouds us in darkness, Death, who can talk 'bout him, And still not know the truth, He strikes at his own whim, Whether the old or youth, Death, none can forbade him From entering our door, Death, none can evade him, He's that future in store. 03/01/2019

so true , jo. Did you ever do the art poem? I noticed death contest closed out fast. I am glad I got mine in late last night. I have written a number of death poems so it was hard for me to think up a new one and i used an example from my life to do it. Yours is a good one for describing death in general.

Truth spoken our loud in a very eloquent manner dearest, Jo! Is death though our foe or our friend? This is something we will find out! I believe that " Death is a celestial pillow upon which the soul rests for a while dreaming of the life to come! " D.Tri.

So true what you say..death will get us all..and it is dark..and it is grief. Your poem is melancholy ..apt for the theme. Well written and executed, Jo.

Yes, it's true, Jo, but we must remember that we must die in order to live AGAIN. A very touching poem. Love and hugsss to you.
