Notes About The Poem

I Died

For your sins
cheaters
clickers
unbelievers
nineteen crimes
peddling dimes

Now I have risen
from the broth
carry on dear soupsters
until I decide
is all for naught
in silence
I reign
King Arthur
fear not
my heartbroken devils

Il have to admit, I'm not educated in poetry enough to fully gather all of the meaning I sense in this piece but I do love the language and mystery of it... some humor I believe? Forgive my ignorance. Best to you, Crystol

I know it's free verse but this should have a name. It provoking.

Not sure what you mean, the poem of course has a name but it is ironic to get a comment like this from someone who does not use a name.
