If "everlasting life" is not a misnomer ~~ then "dying" is merely a transition.

Misnomer
RESTROOM, is a misnomer at best.

To me that's a fact, I attest!

     Though my visits are brief,

     I've gotten lots of relief,

but never once, have I got any rest!


Suggestion:  Call them Relief Rooms!...

Bittersweet
Bittersweet
A misnomer
Like salty chocolate
Or
White the new Black.

Face value
Only
Cut or dried
Perceives.

A severed-meat
Kiln
Hanging
Dry and tasteless
More
Soot on the tongue
Less
Beauty in spaces....

Premium Member Inheritable Stakes
the worse it gets, it gets “worser”
a better death is a misnomer
those greedy fingers
and trespassing eyes
the passing of a plate of lies
the only thing that’s shared —
a shovel that heaps dirt
over the “loved one’s” hurt

October Bliss
An October bliss? Ha, what a crock! It is a misnomer;
With robust summer behind and a bleak, dreary winter ahead,
Who enjoys the onset of old age when youthful days are gone?

There's a town on Route 9 in New Jersey at the southern part. It's in Cape May county along the Atlantic coast. This small town is called Ocean View. You'll see the term is a misnomer. When you are there, you can't see the ocean.

Premium Member Thought Rot
"Maga agenda 25" is a misnomer 
and yet it is repeated ad nauseum,
but as Kamala Harris  once said
"Young people ...  are stupid."

Missing context or not
political campaigns are fraught
with snippets that don't mean squat,
but cause significant thought rot!...

The Open Door
Death at its zenith,
  the other side of life’s goodbye

Eternity waiting patiently,
  to welcome us inside

Always the dark misnomer,
  we hold in dread and awe

When really it’s an open door
  —to all we’re searching for

Listen to poem:
Misunderstood
It's so easy to be.
Silence is often the great enemy 
Under-current of emotion
Nurses our enmity 
Dear friends,
Equip yourselves with
Resolve.. to this misnomer 
Solve
Tread lightly in the wordy world
Open the heart with kindness
Only let love be unfurled
Determine to dance delicately...

Premium Member A Day In the Life -- Poet's Progress
Getting started is harder some days than others
   Tempting ideas take shape -- vanish without a trace
A couple of lines appear, then run out of rhyme
   Going nowhere fast is a misnomer; it's agonizingly slow
        And the poetry's just awful

Push to finish it anyway...Push hard...Push to finish it...Ah, done!
   The next one'll probably be easier; this one was certainly no fun...

The Rudolph Misnomer
Rudolph's name is really Adolf
But was coined for he was thought rude
Assumed to be full of himself
As leader of the reindeer brood

His red nose stayed up in the air
That part of the story is right
But he only kept it that way
To see around the blinding light

About that "rude olf" moniker
He would always spread the word
To please only call him Adolf
Ironically that was preferred!...

A Witch's Irony
Three witches
by one sword drawn
from heaven at the
inching of day
thrice regarded, naught
but once slain
for high treason by jury
though not of sound mind
idolatrous fancy its credo
and kind
but divine be certain mercy
oft a misnomer of fools
for whom heresy converts
in the shallowest pool
therefore say the witches let
fate run her course
when the fire avenges
let it be from our source...

Let the Raw Drums Drum
A misnomer … could it be?
Never! never? oh, no!
Could it be a gloss?
Devouring as it bursts my rose –
Yet! let me wash you
From the impurities far beyond
That a glimpse at my chaste gem
Shall be a model for the smith!
Then let the raw drums drum
And I shall be smug –
Else let the drums be smashed!
And let me not wash you
O! let me be led and never lead
And divorce and loss be to a sloven muse!...

The Misnamed Would Quarrel
They began to quarrel,
After he heard ‘Squirrel!’
Instead of Stan Scammel
And he called him ‘Rommel’:
“The Not-Strong Enamel”
Who could Hitler blackmail 
While it was ‘Same Barrel!’

Then, they stopped The Quarrel,
When he heard ‘Becquerel’
A Laureate with a Laurel …

Quarrels from Nicknaming:
A Purposed Misnaming!
Who would such start claiming:
A hateful Misnomer;
KGB’s Informer
For OGB Omar …...

Acceptance
Chasing our shadows within a 
mixture of helium and glue, 
denied access into a world 
of colorless azure blue 
as a skeletal version of ourselves 
enters a wasteland 
we dream to call a room. 
Realities shrill whistle 
always plays to us in tune, 
a misnomer we regularly embrace 
and all too often, 
neurotically consume 
in spite of our contradictions, 
which on a sunny day 
always appear to us as a 
magnificent colorful bloom....

Premium Member Street Smarts
If throughout the city you are a roamer, you will see the word "civilization" is a misnomer. It looks like a city, but it's a jungle out there. When walking down the streets, one must take extra care. There are liars, cheats, and crooks galore. Nothing has changed. It's the same as before. What does it take to make a right from a wrong? Citizens must be street smart and strong. inspired by another member's poem

Connections
An unrisen Sun has power —
Rays unsuitable to the day-world break the night cover
The Sun is brighter and stronger without sunlight
Some other things to do with the Sun too are a misnomer
It matters not if I see him leave at the end of prayer
He always returns to be a brief companion
To do which he has mountains to maneuver
They do aarti to the Ganga and him too
Pure orangeness of setting Ganga shares
It is her nature to love her beholder
He is her viewer and she his waiter....
