Hello Fiends,
Here is another excerpt from a little book of death poems I am writing called ‘101 Ways To Die, Accidents, Murders, And Other Techniques To Lose A Life’. I wrote this after I overheard one of my neighbors complaining about a tree that was hanging over into his yard and dropping leaves on his lawn. Enjoy!
The seasons are a changing
Shedding dead autumn leaves
They tumble through the air
On a mission to flee
You rake and you rake
But they just reappear
That damn neighbor’s tree
You tell him each year
Please cut it down
Or at least trim it back
But he blows you off
Then proceeds to laugh
As the wind picks up
It cuts through the air
Disturbs the silence
Then ruffles your hair
A toss of the rake
To let off some steam
First a snap, then a crack
Then a splitting of seams
A weight from above
Something has broken free
Crumpling your body
With a swift falling tree
