Challenge
Give me poetry or give me death!
Write a poem. Or, alternatively, write a piece about death. And, if you're feeling really motivated, give me both! Remember to tag me, or I might not see it :)
The Long-Awaited Arrival
Pallid black air,
burnt, smoldering dust,
thick, putrid water,
and dogs wandering with no eyes.
Rats, starving in the dark underworld;
radio stations silent,
the White House empty of commanding voices;
homes silent, filled with the dead,
and the world cannot scream for mercy.
Peace at last.
