Death Is Calling At My Door Poem by Anita Khelawan

Death Is Calling At My Door

Rating: 5.0


Death is calling at my door,
Knock Knock not another joke.
This time I'm actually scared.

The call of death is at my door,
Knocking..... Knocking.....
Awaiting an answer,
My body gets cold as I start to shiver.
All sorts of things are happening to my body,
Not accustom to it; it got me worried.

I am feeling like I am going to die,
I don't. I want to stay alive.
I don't know what it is,
For all I know it could be a disease.
I spoke to my mother who said it is normal and I am alright,
But the symptoms I am getting insist to pry.

The knocking on the door becomes more as I go closer.
I want it to go away let me live to see another day.
I open the door ready to take my last breath,
Shockingly death had the wrong address

Anxieties were expressed well in the first stanzas... until the last line where u said fortunately death had wrong adress. that was the climax and it was excellent.

you ve done a perfect joy discribing what people went through at death, no one can understand the chilling, fear, and strange things they went through.

I liked this poem it was short yet very engaging. Death is always one of my favorite subjects to read and write about. Death is so feared and ignored by most but inevitably we'll all have to meet her.
