Tahera Mannan Poet Dizain

The Dance of Death

Misty dawn opens its arms
Silent street not a sound
Flowers spread some exotic charm
Honey bees all over abound
A sinister killer is just around
The silent streets weave and dance
The trees rap in a mystical trance
Bridges collapse to the music of seismic waves
They burn, they crumple, not a chance
As exotic flowers swing on lonesome graves

Robert Pettit March 8, 2012 at 11:15 PM Reading this reminded me of the short story "By the Waters of Babylon" by the late Stephen Vincent Benet. This is a fine example of a dizain poem. Tahera Mannan March 9, 2012 at 7:23 AM Thanks Robert. How are you?
