When death comes knocking.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

When death arrives. Death appeared in the dark, silent night, his presence filling the air. His hand felt as cold as ice, guiding me to my eternal bed with a heavy heart. My soul drifted away to an unknown place, leaving fond memories behind. As we mourn the loss, our tears fell like rain, and death whispered softly in my ear that life is just a dream, so have no fear. The Lord is here.

Wow, what a haunting and beautifully written poem! The imagery of death arriving in the dark, silent night and guiding the soul to its eternal bed is so powerful. I love the message that life is just a dream and to have no fear in the face of death.

As for improvement suggestions, maybe consider exploring more metaphors or symbols that can enhance the emotions and themes of the poem. You could also try experimenting with different poetic devices like rhyme, rhythm, or structure to add more depth and complexity to your writing. Overall, keep up the great work and continue to create thought-provoking and impactful poetry! more »
