Excellent contest entry.
Rules of the form followed exactly and the whole piece flowed easily from one part to the next keeping the subject in tact.
Very well done

Where sky meets sea, the doorway to that final mystery. I really like death as mournful, not wringing its hands in glee, but a muted part of the process, mournful for having to snuff out our colorful lives. And those seas will test- death can come any moment. I don't see this as an end of days, but the end of an individual's days. Excellent entry and good luck in the contest.

I'm guessing you mean at end of life that's been fulfilled death is inevitable. Good use of rhyming and well chosen imagery. Good luck in the contest. faye

Steve;
-I found reading this writing the first time to be elusive but in the further continuation of the readings I found it remarkably well written.
-Your metaphorical imagery in this writing is exceptionally and exponentially expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive through the excellent use of metaphor.
-I believe that claiming his prize is claiming the end of his life further enriches And live for ever.
-Good luck in this contest and may the good Lord be with you always.

Comment from ellie6
An introspective offering. It dwells on the nebulous nature of our lives, how they can be ended in a heartbeat, If one is to take anything from this poem, it is that we must live every day to the fullest.

Thanks, Ellie.
I must be in a gloomy phas - I just completed another poem on the theme of death.

The minute poem looks so right, I'll forego counting syllables. The rhymes
are solid. The theme sounds Hobbes-like..."a frightful leap into the dark."
Excellent post.

Thank you.
I guess you mean Hobbes the philosopher rather than Hobbes the stuffed tiger.... I'm more familiar with the latter!

Comment from Sasha
I have read the rules to the Minute poem many times and continue to be amazed and impressed than that anyone can understand then, let alone, accomplish writing one. This is lovely. Beautifully written with perfect rhyme and with great effort, I actually counted the syllable. You are spot on with this one. Excellent entry for this contest and I sincerely wish you all the best. Terrific artwork to go with this one too.

Thanks, Sasha.
I don't have any trouble with the technical aspects - the problem is to come up with something that sounds vaguely meaningful!

Comment from rspoet
You've written a very fine minute poem
Exact to the rules
Correct syllables and rhymes
Very good use of enjambment
only two sentences
Ans a touch of alliteration
The theme, at the end of days,
is nicely realized
Well done
Good luck in the contest
