"need not remind of the worry." I like that. "the ones with endless hurry." I like that also. Short and sweet and to the point. Very good. Death awaits us all.

Hullo Victor ...

In your few lines of free-thought writing, you have put forth a message to those who drive fast, regardless of the dangers on the road .... or who live life at such a fast pace that they endanger their health.
There is nothing to suggest changing. Your picture at the top may well give some people nightmares!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.

That's my first shadow that I saw, a hooded shadow around my back porch that turned and disappeared just after my dad pulled in to the driveway. It wasn't until many years later that I came upon a similar illustration that represented the grim reaper. That was a bone chilling realization.

I enjoyed the poem and the atmosphere about the figure that you wrote about. Well written and stark.

Hello victortouche.
A new approach to an old theme and excellent in words and presentation. lol. I guess I'll be slowing down too. If you haven't heard this it might amuse you. Long ago a servant went to his master and asked if he could have money to flee to Sumara, because he'd seen death in the marketplace. He told his master that he was sure death was there for him, and he was so shaken the master gave him the money to go to Sumara. Next day the master was walking and saw death approach. Oh dear, muttered the master it is me that you have come for. Death responded "Oh no I have no time to stop for you because tomorrow I have an appointment in Sumara". This came back to me because of your very excellent poem. Thanks for a lovely read. Ulster

Dear victor,
What great writing. In the space of seven lines with exquisite meter and effective rhyme, you present a grim picture. At my age, I am certainly slowing down :<)

Reg

i think this is a wonderful depiction of death. nobody can escape it unless Jesus comes back before we die. time seems to be getting faster for me instead of slower

After reading this, I think I will be slowing down a bit myself. I really liked this poem. Perfect art work choice also. Well done.
