Comment from Shirley E Kennedy

Excellent

Well written.
I imagine this may well be what the process of death involves.
We experience so much in life and often grow weary yet we still fear death.
A thoughtful, topic focused 575 poem.
Blessings
Shirley

Excellent

This is a well-stated Death 5-7-5 contest entry. The text is a great size. The message is clearly presented and is easy to understand. I feel most of us are ignoring this fact and many fail to prepare on this earthly realm for that outcome. Love that roar of silence first line.
The photo fits perfectly. I love your presentation. Good luck in the contest.

You are welcome.

You did quite well adhering to the prompt and your word choice was great. "a roar of silence" was particularly good as sometimes silence can be deafening.

Excellently crafted and good luck in the contest!

Excellent

Your opening line had me hooked. At times silence speaks volumes, to the extent it is haunting. I appreciate your use of juxtaposition, melding into the second line fading to black.

So well composed. I just wish I had six stars to gift you. This poem was truly deserving of a higher rating.
