Mikey, you did that brilliantly! His whole life in 6 stanzas and what a story of the journey of life. From birth to death, putting it the way you have it is the same for everyone, wealth, class, race, none of it is different, we all go through it. The differences are what we do in the in between.
Excellent poem, good luck in the contest. xsx Sandra

Hi Michael yes we certainly don't need any artwork for this tableau as I can picture each scene in my mind. Well done and good luck.

Absolutely the best of the entrants. What emotion in the wording and flow of the piece. Put me right there as you know is where I want to be in reviewing.

Kind of reminds me of the song 'Kisses Sweater than Wine' by Jimmie Rodgers. One poem showing an entire lifetime. Good luck in the voting booth :)

A well enunciated tableau of a life. You have captured the essence of the poem well in your words. Well chosen words and imagery and most enjoyable. Good luck in the contest. Faye

At least it seems you understand what the instructions in the prompt mean. I have no clue :) All I know is, it reads well and I enjoy the words :) Good luck.

Wow. This is so far beyond expectations that it is difficult to express. Each stanza is an exceptional vignettet of a time in life. Together it covers a life. We are left to fill in the details. Wonderful word pictures.

Mikey;
as I understand the poem which the creator represent a picture to the readers mind. You stated it perfectly but you gave me so many different pictures under many different concepts then one. That confused me on the definition of a
Tableau style poetry. Believe me really you written this poem so beautifully within imagery and metaphor that's beyond measure. If I have lost the connection to one specific picture that was trying to be expressed through your writing.
Under the title "Life's Tableau" concept falls under many different pictorial ideas. What I'm trying to say is just very general and not very specific. All I know that this style of poetry is more specific.
This is what stopped me from giving you a six star rating.
Thank you so much Mikey for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may the good Lord be with you always.

Loved this once again. Imagery is amazing. East to follow the journey and passing of time when pictured so vividly, and flowing so well. Another wonderful piece of work from so many different forms. You have an impressive and diverse body of work. Getting jealous now!!

All the best

Ouch! Mikey! This is the great grandchild, then, who died.

Time flies, m'man. Like your poem. Should do well for the contest.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
