Flows well. Waste no time in creating the theme and the atmosphere of the piece. Fits form well.
"For the greatness lost"
Lovely line.

I like this. I know that you can't write anymore as its a contest entry with guidelines but I love to hear more...who died? Good work.

'Death's Sadness' is an extremely well-written piece. Tinged with the tragedy of losing a loved one, this talented poet's work was a privilege to both read and review.

You have met your 5/7/5 syllabic count nicely and your lines are well written. However, because your first line ends with "today" , it makes no sense grammatically speaking that you are referencing Christ, whose physical life ended over 2000 years ago. So, I ask myself, do you in fact mean Christ, since you then go on to talk about the world deeply saddened for the greatest loss- which would make sense? Can you see how one might be confused? Not so much as to what you mean- I think it can be surmised that you are speaking of Christ- but confused relating to how you have chosen to write the first line? Can you revise it somehow or if I am way out in left field I most certainly would want you to correct my error. I can always update the rating I have chosen at this time.

I feel that this can be attribted to most deaths, everybody has someone who shall grieve their passing, even the most evil of criminals!

This is nice. Is it about anyone in particular? Maybe a celebrity. Nice 5-7-5. The picture matches nicely. Good luck in the contest. Well done.

I love the poem. Very Emily Dickenson. It could be about anyone, even death himself.
I feel like maybe the photo chosen might be a bit too cheery for the content of the poem, but that is solely my opinion.
It is wonderfully written.

An excellent poem that says so much with so few words. I've always marveled how in the end most people remember the best of their loved ones lives. Terror
