Nancy Kaufman Poet Light Verse

I'Ll Meet You There

Common causes of death can be diagnosed,
like a heart attack or a cerebral stroke.
What about those other folks?
Those people who pass with out biology.
Might theirs be connected to astrology?
Was their demise rooted in mythology?
The coroners puzzled, it's plain to see.
The death certificate states  naturally.
Could it have been  too much poetry?
Please bring a shovel to their tomb.
I'll meet you there at high noon.
Their words will joyfully exhume
and fill the air with their perfume..

Sara Nancy Kaufman November 17, 2022 at 2:20 PM Thanks Sara. I thought it was funny when I wrote it. Some might of thought it was a touch dark. I do appreciate your visiting and weighing in. Your poetry is absolutely beautiful. Nancy
