Short Aneurysm Poems

Here lies the body of Stanley Meyer
Inventor, salesman, and consummate liar
A brain aneurysm
Might have kept him from prison
Both he and his fuel cell patents expired

That palm-smeared red flower
blossoming down your fingers;
reminding you of when tying shoelaces 
was an accomplishment.
When falling down wasn't a blessure,

Lying on my bed in the heart of the dark,
Listening to the croaking frogs and dogs' bark,
Lulled by the crickets and the mystic rain,
And the rumbling thunder and the flashes of pain.
Down the unknown road I fell asleep,
Knowing and hoping this pain would leave,
But all in vain I waited and wept,
The pain however never left....

When a Country singer died, people felt sadness and pity.

Listen to poem:

It was a spectacular autumn Friday afternoon like no other. We hopped in a cab to rush home for a fun night to kick off the long weekend. Less than an hour into it, we had to call an ambulance and that was the end of that. Our best friend was suddenly dying of a brain aneurysm. 


cheated
weekend robber
cruel death cometh
