Dig My Grave

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 24, 2008


Dig my grave, and dig it deep
What you sow you shall reap
Make it wide, and make it long
Then sing a funeral song

Since you are the queen of doom
Be sure there is lots of room
I am the one that you despise?
You look forward to my demise?

You say you have suffered so much
In need of one with the Midas touch
I would not begrudge your pleasure
As you bury all your treasure

    Great job. You are one of those poets that use rhymes with a natural flair. For that reason, your level is much higher but I would still like to see a free-style poem from you like the old master Frost or Whitman.

    Good poem, the first stanza doesnt have the best flow, the last two lines of it mainly, but still a good poem

    Sounds like a dark fairytale. Good rhythm.

    WOW! This is such an amazing poem! The rythym, the feel - I'm spellbounded and speechless to say the least.
    It's short and simple but still effective enough to convey the underlying feelings and portray what needs to be said.
    100/5 from me. It's a true and rare masterpiece!
