Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My ''Deathly'' Fear

 
If I should die, dress me in purple satin
On my neck a string of pearls fasten
Lay upon me roses red
A weeping tear shed
Oh, this I
Dread
Cannot lie
Life is a thread
The end of it, I do dread
Promise, I will not be forgotten
If I should die, dress me in purple satin

Karam Misra June 27, 2016 at 1:24 AM Beautifully written poem in the wonderful form created by Andrea, about a universal fear. Actually there are two fears expressed in your poem - Thanatophobia, the fear of death, and Athazagoraphobia, the fear of being forgotten. All the best in the contest, Broken Wings. ~karam~ Karam Misra June 27, 2016 at 1:29 AM Oops, I came across your poem randomly. Have just seen that you have been crowned with first place in the contest! My heartiest congratulations on your win, Broken Wings! ~karam~
