This is haiku, right? I don't even know. I'm guessing it is, which makes the length okay. I hate those kinda poems, though, because they leave so much to be desired. I'd like to see a whole poem about this subject, rather than just three short lines. But, anyways, this was clever and I do respect it.

I was never big on really short poems...Its a nice idea, but it seems like you cut it off too soon.

nice... short & awesome

Heh heh, very clever. Didn't get it at first, wondered if I was reading the same poem as the others who've commented. But on second reading... Cunning indeed!

good point.

love it, theres such a darker, deeper underlying message to it. chilling, but the whole effect is quite sneaky and cunning maybe because of the title. good choice of words.

Most explicit haiku I've ever read. But yeah i like the message thingy too.

Interesting I never really thought of it that way. But then this isn't exactly my kind of topic. But still really nice though. Kind of makes you wonder.

You know that sound like a good idea until you think of the horrible stench you’d create for your loved ones, don’t worry I’m just kidding. I really respect this poem. I guess I have never understood why a person might need a stone to say they were once a person and had a real life if you are important to some body you always be remembered. Nice poem, I really do like what you are saying. :)
