Hi John,
The poem and artwork brought up a chuckle. It is a horrible mistake, but at least he picked a rhyming object.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Have a wonderful weekend
Keep writing and stay healthy

I have no sixes left. I love Gary Larson and the far side. This is just perfect. I couldn't have done better myself. It is just wonderful. I might have added,he lost more than an ear that day. I love it! Karen

Author,
A nice witty epitaph poem.!
I like the gritty, sarcastic humor here.
One for me would be:
Here she lies with her pen
opining to no one again.
(Excuse the dark humor).
Great entry, author,
Best wishes,
Cindy

Haha the picture did the heavy lifting for you on this piece but it didn't make it any less funny. The Far Side has aged well. Nice entry and good luck in the contest!

I agree. Far Side gets the credit. I just added the footnote. Thanks for your review and good luck wish.

Hi
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
Hmmm. I sure would like to know what the simple mistake was that caused him to die. It's wide open in my mind it could be anything. Maybe you gave some clue earlier in the poem but if you did, I didn't catch it.
So I'm sorry I can't review it based on those last few lines because I am totally confused about what could've happened
Your poem is freeverse and it has no rhyming and no set meter
The first part of it made sense to me, Andrea the Artist was being lowered into the ground
It's well written, but a little confusing at the end
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. My intention was that when the King saw the painting, his response was, "Off with his head," al la King Henry VIII. Of course, this is satirical fiction, you know. I appreciate your review and comments.

This poem, when paired with this picture, is hilarious. I got a real laugh out of this epitaph. Thank you so much for sharing this, and best wishes to you.
