Well, you certainly picked a perfect antonym with your choice of life and death, Nicole. In fact, I cant think of a bigger one! Death is such a depressing word, as opposed to the happiness and hope the word birth gives us. As a widow and a granny, I can identify with both!

Well done, and good luck in the contest with this excellent entry.

Well, I have to agree with you there. Nothing change the channels of life quite like a birth, or death. As always, this is well done. Good luck.
Take care.
Christelle.

You chose big antonyms for this antonym poem. Not much more potent than Birth and Death. This short poem sums up the entire cycle of human comings and goings. You even rhymed it nicely. I don't have anything to suggest to change, which for me... well, I can't help myself, usually. The title was a hopeful addition to the poem, implying transition with the ease one might have in flipping one station to another.

Thank you for your thoughts on this. It was a play of words. Switching radio channels, yes. And, switching life channels. We enter life through a channel, and we suspect we go out through some sort of spiritual channel. Death is like birth. Both are not without stress and discomfort as we go through each channel.
Thanks for reading.

I like the thoughts mirrored in lines two and three. Good choice of antonyms with art to depict the beginning and end. Clever title. Nice use of alliteration with L and B.

Hi there CG
I have been absent for far too long. I like the artwork you have made. I wish I had half of your talent. Birth & death are facts of life. Nicely penned. Best of luck in the contest
