Sotto Poet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Personal Demise

When I reckon the grief cost my soul sinks
I knew, still had time, yet seems I shall not
I will ne'er craft a tune with soul in jot
It hurts that I didn't believe my own jinx

Awe swept on me, my gaze fell on my love
Vital key signs and low warmth spell sure doom,
Death jolts me up and pulls out of the gloom
With a crash of bark, my heart rose above

I smelt a toned whiff as my soul vanished
The brain sway rose a few times after death,
I reveal all; I'm thrilled to find a scale
Grin wooed to sin, and soul ne'er felt ravished

Brain cluck rose a few minutes after death
If you save me, I'll jump the eerie trail

Jennifer Proxenos April 8, 2023 at 9:13 AM i didn't enter the contest but in a poem I wrote some weeks ago, I also die, but I want to live and love as long as God grants me. Great poem my friend Lasaad, and appropriately sombre. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Vijay Pandit April 6, 2023 at 7:42 AM Appropriately forlorn poem you wrote my friend. I felt the gloom of life as it ends. Best to you, Lasaad.

Valsa George April 5, 2023 at 9:50 PM Encountering one's own demise is one of the most puzzling experiences of life. You have beautifully described the 'agony and ecstasy' of it ! Well done dear friend. All the Best!
