Pere-Lachaise

Pere-lachaise is just the place

to be a writer for

Morrison and Oscar have taken up

a permanent residence

Hugo is beautifully miserable there

and Balzac just loves the dead

life can be very funny; he says

among the tombs and catacombs

in the necropolis of the city of light

a place to die for.

Alluringly dark. I like this. I've heard about the place. It has the largest cemetery or something. Anyways, I really like how you invoked the names of literature greats to help bolster the allure of death in a metaphorical light. Again, I say, beautifully poem. Worded rightly and definitely a great one.

Look forward to more from you. Keep writing.
