Health Benefiticial Cheating and Falcate Wisdom

Health Benefiticial Cheating

 

Death please be proud

Proof lies scripted on my tomb

I lie here,

Name emblazened in bold,

Yes here and now

But I cheated you

And stole your prize

I have not met my demise

William Parr was my name,

I'll live forever and shan't see you again.

 

 

Falcate Wisdom

 

My name by now has

Been forgotten

Smudged by torrental storms

I was never important,

Witty or sly

But I,

Remember my name full and well

Pronouncing it may produce some trouble, however,

I have all of eternity to partake in this endeavor.

 

 

Reviews

[FuMiko]

Very good.
Perhaps award worthy, I hope you had/have luck in that contest!

[dread or dismay.]

Short, but generally a good poem.
Keep writing!
