    Poem Commentary

    EVEN IF LIFE IS SHORT, IT IS OF NOTHING AS DEADLY AND DARK AS DEATH !!! AFTER ALL THERE IS SOME BRILLIANCE IN LIFE WHICH I AM PRETTY SURE DEATH LACKS !!!

    WHY ?

    why
        is   Life  a   bright-short      Day ?
    and
        Death a dreary-sure Night,
    that
        None can its vernom fight,
    and
        Nought alive has in its word a say ?

    I did not want this poem to end...I wanted more. You pose two poignant quetions. The answers to which will continue to elude humankind: Death is here to stay. Terse yet powerful. AF.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
