BRAVO! That was awesome! "Oh, Death, where is thy sting?" I love that line. ;) It's so true. Death is tiresome, death is fickle, childish and vain. Life will have the victory.

...wow...
and you called MY poem good this is some of the best poetry i've read in a long time

And you said on your profile that poetry isn't exactly one of your strengths...lies! It was very powerful. Nicely done!

Loved the rhyming scheme! T'was beautiful. And I loved the metaphors in it... very rich and original.

Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful, haunting, gorgeous and every other adjective dealing the majestic I can think of. Thank you so for reviewing Writer's Riddle 2; it's one of my favorites, and the answer is a date. The rhyme in this is absolutely a treat on this Hallow's Eve day.

This companion poem to Death's Ode to the living is no less adroitly accomplished. I like the first two lines of the last stanza very much, although the whole poem is great. I look forward to reading future odes!

I like it, nice word choice :)

Bravo!

I have to comment on your use of "Thy". I have been trying forever, and ever and ever to use "Thy" in a poem and not have it sound like hymn. But you've pulled it off beautifuly, so my salute on that.

But other then the use of "Thy" the poem is very powerful, and I quite enjoyed it. ^_^

This is fantastic, the rhymes are great, as are the questions in the last stanza. I absolutely love this, and am going to add it to my fave stories list.
