Lovely presentation, and best of luck in the contest. Your choice of birth and death makes for excellent comments. Birth indeed is new creation, new life. Death marks the end of the cycle. Artwork is great. judi

Great poem. I didn't expect it to have the theme of life and death from the title, but after reading it, the title fits perfectly. Nice job.

I like the way this poem 'grows' as the spectre of death comes closer! It rather underlines the certainty of our impending doom. We are but passing through!

This is a lovely introduction (for me) into a poetry format that I am unaware of. The third line is really powerful, especially "expectant last breath". good luck with the contest! Caroline

Cute and excellent artwork that complements your poem perfectly. It is a well written Antonym. Goes from birth to death. Life does that, Best wishes for the contest.

I too don't have any gold dust left, I checked that you had one though, and you have. Nicole, you used this contest magnificently, taking the full cycle of life through to death in this perfect contest entry. I had a look at the contest rules, and didn't have any idea how to start one. Your's is the winner, or I will eat my hat. (Not that I have one!) Good luck my friend! :) Sandra

I haven't seen this format before, but it works here to present your idea of a life as one transitions from birth, through life and on to death.

Best of luck in the Antonym Poetry contest.

Birth
Celebrates a brand new creation to life on earth.
Living prepares for next transition with expectant last breath.
Death.

Nicole, I never know what to say with these short poems --
a clever use of words - ideal entry for the contest.


and good luck.

Margaret
