If Death Happens By

Written for the contest Please Explain 5.

If Death Happens By

now, pondering back on his life

he thought that nothing was amiss,

 

and as for regrets he had very little,

because his life had been full and joyful

 

so if death should happen to creep up near

anytime within the future he'd be waiting,

 

simply enjoying the cool breeze with a glass

of fine wine whenever the time would come to stopping

This is cute. You didn't include your picture or number, mister! lol. You probably tried to make the picture your cover art but it didn't take for some reason. But I think I know the picture to which this refers. ;) haha. Duh. If I didn't... wow. What kind of contest moderator would I be? =P Still, put it in the description, mister! lol. I love the poem. I thought of the same type of imagery when I saw the picture. The same ideas crossed my mind and that kinda scores you points on this one, I guess. Very pretty.

This paints such a calm and serene picture.
Most of us are living such complicated lives unlike the man here.
Makes me wish things were simpler!!

Loved this. Beautifully expressed.
