*knock, Knock Poem by Ted Sheridan

*knock, Knock

Rating: 2.7


We die from within and just like our statues
We dedicate to our eternal memory,
So many trinkets sculpted
From concrete, brass, plaster and wood.

We rot; inside, outwards
And so when Death
Is finally displayed on our faces,
Our friends
Are suddenly free to express with sheer amazement

That they never really knew us
All that well…

Anyone who thinks he has more friends than fingers on one hand is a fool, you work it out so well regards

Your points of view are totally different from mine, but you are an excellent writer. We start to die the day we are born...
