Enjoyable read Kassawin. What interesting childhood to visit cemeteries? I enjoyed reading this rhythmic poem. I like how you shared the stories and terrible deaths of the ones that laid dead. Great title for this poem (Where Old Bones Lie). Also, I like how you chose the various characters to write about and how they died? Also, I like how you shared that the burial ground needed work, with the birds habitated the grounds? The last lines are nicely written. (Dead bones can't tell their story!). You did a great job telling each of their stories through your poetry. Also, thanks for sharing what " sent to Coventry" mean? Good job!!!!

Review by Henry: This is superior humorous verse. The rhyme and meter are there. It flows very smoothly. It sounds very good, melodic, when spoken aloud. The attached picture adds to this poem. I can see girls slapping hands while chanting your poem.

    Reply from Henry: Your welcome. When I was a child, graveyards scared me. Now, at my age, that's where I meet loved ones and old friends. What a change.

Very very interesting write indeed. So charming and amusing the way you rhymed your verses so well and at the same time, you told the stories of downfall of various victims. I like the old western language words you used in your descriptions. NICELY DONE. liberty justice

I love this poem, Kazzawin. Everyone has a skeleton in his closet. Why not one for company in his grave? Very well written with a good mix of vices and appropriate ends for one and all. :) Nancy

Hello!
Oh! I thoroughly enjoyed your rhyming poetic verse. The cast of characters is incredible, as are their stories! When I was a child, I lived across from a 100 year old cemetery, and my friends and I would often go there and sit and talk about everything and nothing. Old Captain Swarthout... now there was a story!
Your poem is delightful in form and content!
Best Wishes!

I loved reading your poem. It is so funny and entertaining. The rhyme is superb. Strangely i have a fascination with graveyards and reading headstones. Good luck in the competition.
