Death's Visit (Musette)

by Cindy   May 25, 2009


Death's Visit

Red eyes
don't fall asleep
last cry

Night fear
more souls to steal
lurks near

Black death
watch him take his
last breath

Written for a club challenge

    A very dark musette, but you mastered this form. You are truly a talent poetess, this piece was so captivating and in such few words you have said so much. A wonderful poem to read, kept me at the edge of my seat. 5/5 from me, keep writing, always and forever..

    God Bless You!

    No challenge too big, no form or style escapes your tallented mind.
    To me you've described one's final moment of existence in a dark yet beautiful way.
    Keep up the great work my friend.
