A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
I Met Death
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Dedicated to Dean Kuch, may he rest in peace
I met Death
on a dreadful winter's night. Cruel cold cut through my bones and numbed my heart. He moved with ease and I dragged behind. We strolled engulfed in a dark fog when we passed an empty schoolyard we heard echoes of laughter across. We glided over ripe wheat fields as the rising sun gifted us with light and dew glistened like a million starts. On our way Beyond.  |
"Because I could not stop for Death; He kindly stopped for me; The Carriage held but just Ourselves; And Immortality. - Emily Dickinson - 1830-1886 inspired by 'because I could not stop for death' to read poem click here
Beyond = in my poem, it means 'the realm of death'.
FREE VERSE is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern.[1] It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
