'Death'
Kathy Sue Sills,
Your first two lines are important:
Death is coming
Are you ready?
Good point, for none of us are built to live eternally on this groaning earth. It and we are designed to live eternally but sin mars all in and about us. We groan too. Anyway in all this somehow our nature is to ponder, ask questions- be curious. The clues of beauty around us and 'death' are the dark and light that show the reality of God. Light overcomes darkness. Jesus is Lord.
The Beginning
references- (Genesis 1:1–2; Hebrews 11:1–3)
Berean Study Bible- John 1: 1-5
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Blessings to you.
Kathy

Thanks for stopping by!

And in the beginning was death, that brought life to your pen. Interesting beginning. I suspect I'll be reading more about your life and death to come.

This was my very first poem! I do not consider myself a poet, but I would love to become one! Thank you for the review!

[William Michael Reeves]

What??!! The moment you put two words together as an expression you are a poet. So many levels of it though. Form poetry and free. Writing to fill the need to express and writing to earn money. Sharing in anonymity and shouting your name to the world. Maybe you just need validation. I, William Michael Reeves a.k.a. Billigami, declare you to be a poet! I'll have your card mailed to your heart c/o your brain.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Thank you, kind sir!

Simple question, many can't answer :)

Snappy, unhappy poem with a strong depressive undercurrent. It's a punch between the eyes and seems as if the writer almost encourages the touch of death. So it is a challenge but as an older reader I can take it on the chin. I will face it when it comes with courage displayed by my parents. Good work by a writer who uses a depressive aspect to deliver poems of quality!

I love the short and bold writes. Dont delete it, keep playing with poetry, I think its a nice break from writing stories and its theraputic. Thank you for sharing :)

There are many ways to review a poem. Some people are spelling and grammar police, others are into checking the format or it rhythms on the correct lines all of those have there place but for me poetry is more spiritual than technical. I love poems that make me feel, make think, make me wonder or question my own self. Those poems don't have to be perfect, or accepted by critics because they serve a purpose to express and that is what I love about poetry. Keep this poem and treasure it, it makes people ask the question are they ready for death.

Poetry had many direction it can go. I like this short poem. The Native Americans believe death is always waiting on your left shoulder. No-one is prepare for death. Death know when are time is here or coming. A very good first poem. Made your point and ask a question.
