My Farewell Sonnet (challenge)

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Seven days will be my life's ending Ending of a new era of time Time to say goodbye to friends Friends whom I loved in this life eternally Eternally burned into my hearts soul forever Forever I will feel grateful Grateful for their laughs, cheers, and tears Tears of joy knowing they have been there There in spirit and soon I too will be their angel Angel of their day, yesterday and tomorrow night Night might follow me soon but their smiles now will overwhelm all All that have known me will come to see See I was happy for those that loved me Me!Slekkys Challenge Description: I want you to write a poem about your last week alive on earth. How would you feel, what would you do, who would you forgive, and who would you beg forgiveness from, etc. I want you also to use the last word from each line and make it the first word in your next line. Good luck! (40 points) Written January 22nd, 2002 © on Jan 22 2002 08:17 AM PST, Lee Gillilan   0 • 10
