Dear Death for dVerse














Dear Death,

Do you hear the painful cries
     of a world in crisis

people lost looking for signs
    to ease their grief

what choice remains
     when souls are lost

brushes with  near death
     happening each day..

broken hearts... pauses
    vital rhythm of life

how does one fight the battle
    the panoply of power

flatland in the journey 
  let us take a leap of faith...

Conquer death with life...



Author's note: The challenge was to create a Dada Poem..how this works is you take  some text  cut it up into pieces and pick words to create a poem.  For this exercise I made a copy of a page from a book I am reading..cut into pieces and selected words randomly to construct this poem. This was an interesting prompt..thank you Charles...
