David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

How Does the Soul Enter Heaven

The soul enters heaven 
has it ever really left 
market square on Tuesday 
a minute before they swept 
The soul enters heaven 
unable to wave back 
now their scraping gum 
off the tramway tracks 
The soul enters heaven 
so a preacher once said 
Their taking a smoke break
as I fume over the dead 
The soul enters heaven 
driving me out of my mind 
God I’m acting strange 
and falling further behind 
The soul enters heaven 
they leave me a parking ticket 
Loving her was sublime 
wrenched apart so wicked

Vijay Pandit February 7, 2023 at 6:40 AM Intriguing thoughts on how the soul enters heaven, David. You left me pondering your insights my friend with lines like this: has it ever really left market square on Tuesday ... David Kavanagh February 7, 2023 at 8:35 AM Heya Vijay, to be honest I’ve no clue as to how a soul enters heaven, so I kinda went at it in an surreal sense, of life carrying on as normal around one who’s just been bereaved, and still in shock, cheers David

Fin Chuuk February 4, 2023 at 7:38 PM This is so awesome. I enjoyed it! David Kavanagh February 5, 2023 at 12:21 AM Heya Fin thank you for stopping by to read and leave comment, cheers David

Christopher Flaherty February 4, 2023 at 6:18 PM Congratulations Sir I seen your collection of work was Highlighted for everyone to see But i seen your talent 1st from day 1 i fortuitously very 1st came across you and luckily took the time to begin to read your catalogue of work Long may you continue Sir David Kavanagh February 5, 2023 at 12:33 AM You certainly did read and encourage me Christopher since I joined the soup, and I’m so grateful you did, but I still just see myself as an average guy with average intelligence, maybe I just see the world in an abstract manner and it filters into my poems, cheers David

Christopher Flaherty February 4, 2023 at 6:14 PM Classic opening David Sir How does it enter Has it ever in fact really left Just any other Tuesday A minute before swept Sublime as always Throw away comment in jest Just another if more proof Was ever needed If he is not He is definitely 1 of the very best David Kavanagh February 5, 2023 at 12:30 AM Your too kind Christopher, it’s really impossible to try understand how somebody enters heaven as a concept, so I just went for it as seen from a bereaved one’s surrealistic view, death can happen at any time anywhere, as you pointed out, cheers David

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 4, 2023 at 9:34 AM I really like this one. It has a feel and a beat like a surrealist poet set to jazz. Fun to read and heart rendering at the same time. xomo David Kavanagh February 4, 2023 at 12:31 PM Le fantastique! I’m with you, cheers David Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 4, 2023 at 10:17 AM …this was referencing the fantastic ;) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 4, 2023 at 10:16 AM LOL! Yeah, Jazz is so hit or miss, some is fantastic, some makes you want to rip your ears off and plug your skull. David Kavanagh February 4, 2023 at 9:59 AM Heya Super Mo, I’ve no idea how a soul enters heaven, but I do know the heartache it leaves behind, the world indeed becomes surreal around us, I love your interpretation, I really hope no jazz in my heaven lol, take care, cheers David

Tom Cunningham February 4, 2023 at 1:03 AM Maybe we're already here, who knows. But it must be a good place and maybe that's why no-one has come back to tell us. Good luck in the contest. Enjoy your weekend. Tom David Kavanagh February 4, 2023 at 1:49 AM Who knows Tom, a good day can be described as heavenly, This one’s perspectively looking around as normalcy carries on, whilst an individual is going out of their mind in grief, I doubt if it’s what the sponsor wants to hear, but it’s the truth, have a great weekend too, cheers David

Harry Horsman February 3, 2023 at 6:39 PM Love this unique way, David, of the soul entering heaven, maybe poetically, you've hit the nail on it's head....love it. Stay well my friend, and to quote John Lennon, Imagine. ..Harry David Kavanagh February 4, 2023 at 1:35 AM Than you Harry, everyone going about their mundane business when the bereaved are devastated in grief, hard to Imagine poetically at that moment what’s going on in heaven, cheers David
