Death Poems

Now entirely jealous of Jenyar's efforts I feel compelled to write another such is the nature of good healthy brotherly competition :rolleyes:

I saw the carcass of a rabbit
As a child untouched and lovely
The smell was sickly but also sweet
It told me much, this rabbit at my feet

I touched it gingerly with my toe
Rocked its head to and fro
Wondering why the flies buzzed so
This rabbit at my feet

The rib cage open
Maggots inside
I looked on in wonder with eyes open wide

I'll never forget that image you see
Of the rabbit that once played so merrily
The life that was in it
That life now all gone
My life will rise too
As beautiful song
Of one who played here
And one who played there
One who looked at the night sky and wondered and stared
Oh the wonders above and the horrors below
Yes my spirit will rise
Theres a place I must go.

actually it's not as good as Jenyar's but hey ho ;)

peace
