If I Am Just A Character Poem by Felicia Manning

If I Am Just A Character

Rating: 5.0


Death,
I once feared you so,
Before learning life is a play,
And we all play
A role.

Big players,
Small players,
Equally important parts,
We each serve our purpose,
Then our exit scene
We depart.

Death,
I once feared you so,
One day you will take me,
And everyone that I know,
Yet by you I will not be smitten,
For I know,
A new play is always being written.

FABULOUS! i had to look up smitten to be sure of how it fit. i thought it might mean 'fallen in love with', which didn't fit. now i see it means something about being strongly influenced by something/somebody. i've sent to MyPoemList. so, do you believe in reincarnation? a life-after-death? hmmm? [by the way, chapter #4, sheila and clifford, a bri play, is ready for viewing] i think it might be equally true that each character's part is as UNimportant as every other part. thanks for sharing. :) bri

I like how you were very clear and concise in everything you said along with the ending that summed it up perfectly death is but a door into lifes next great play. Nicely done.
