Death's Brushed Aside

Death's specter stalks us all our days Yet near the end it's brushed aside By angels singing, haloed praise... Death's specter stalks us all our days We're lifted up by light's pure rays Triumphant wings to heaven glide... Death's specter stalks us all our days Yet near the end it's brushed aside September 04, 2019 Writing Challenge 1, September 2019 - Eight Line Form Sponsor: Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode

A pleasing poem in a pleasing format. You have given it a nice balance of the chilling with the reassuring, crafted with effective meter and rhyme. Well done, Gershon.

This has inspired me to have a go at a triolet. I love this Gershon.

I'm happy to hear that you're going to try a triolet. I find them relatively easy to write, due to the repetition of lines one and two. They make me look like a much better poet than I am. (I can use all the help that I can get). Thank you for the feedback, Elizabeth. :) gw
