This rocks...I thought that was a cross, but sometimes I just imagine things because the cross is so dear to me, and it is the reason I fear death no more. God has reserved a fluffy cloud just for me. You did a splendid job here with just 8 words - the best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from jwsteele
Bemoaning life, he quivers!
Nearing deaths unknown rivers.
Exceptional poem
Exceptional Artwork
From this perspective very well done.
Yes death is the challenge!
What I like about the drawing is that it is difficult to identify what gender the subsect is. I'm content to remember it as a hermophrodite.
Nice work

Comment from Gert sherwood
lack of life-long preparation?
Unprepared
JLR I understand not preparing for death can make one cry a river.
And wonder if one was well prepared it's the same a river of tears? I like how you asked the questions ( who knows) ?

Comment from Janetsue
Death is usually thought of as a dark subject, but you have addressed it very well in just two lines. I think most people have some reservations about this universal happening. If given a choice, I think we would all like to go in our sleep. That does happen to a lot of people.

Yes, the time of transition remains a mystery for the curious of mind.

This is a deep one, Jim. You did a fantastic job with word choices and the rhyme scheme that you chose. The entire presentation is well thought out and deftly compiled. Well done and good luck, my friend.

Hi Melissa, 🙏 thanks!
Comment from Jumbo J
Hi JLR,
Very well presented and composed.
Like the rhyme and sentiment, as it does blueprint a view of some people's demise.
If I may suggest *death's*.
All the very best in this contest, great job!
With our thoughts we create...
death's open door policy.
Kind regards,
James.

An interesting eight words you have put together for this contest, good luck. I don't know if we are prepared for death or not. It is unknown, should we quiver? I just don't know. Very good job.

Yes this is a remaining mystery.
Comment from RPSaxena
Hello JLR,
Even in 08 words, you have enriched this piece of Spiritual Poetry with charming rhyme. It's the remarkable plus point of this poem.
The minus point is that it doesn't depict any concrete sense. It's my opinion, and I hope you won't mind.
On the whole, nice Attempt!
GOOD LUCK in the contest.

Thanks , death is a mystery and those who have not come to a place of yin yang may find the whole thought process one that make them shake and quiver or perhaps not.

JLR, Most Welcome!

Comment from Wendy G
It is strange that we have a whole life-time to prepare for death, and to consider our mortality, but for most it still brings fear and a sense of being unprepared. An effective use of eight words - best wishes for your entry.
