When it gets lighter, folks say \'The days are getting longer\'. But each day is still 24 hours - how are the days getting longer?! heehee.

It\'s been said a death cult rules this planet.
Great write, Tristan.

Tristan this poem filled with delightful alliteration, anaphora, oxymoron irony, and a general dark flavor. It takes one on a journey of gray to the end of day. Lovely and well written my friend.

Boy oh boy are you going into the darkness, but the write hits the nail on the head, doesn\'t matter how much you accumulate, how many things you do in life, you will die like the rest of us.the picture reminds me what i see behind me when I look in the mirror, enjoyed the read

No.... that\'s actually NOT quite true, but I\'m a woman and shouldn\'t \"teach\" a man. Let me leave it at that. Most superbly rendered in sheer perfection with excellent imagery and a fitly haunting, yes damning, poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Whoa! You literally had me reeling thanks to using the same image yet paring it so deliciously with a more apt delineation than initially. Cull a low whistle, will you?! Well. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and an exquisite poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I read this poem, researched the Holbein painting and reread the poem Tristan. You have truly excelled here. Such detail in the description, the imagery is graphic and your choice of language and the alliteration top notch. An exceptional write which left me in thought for sometime afterwards at the cruelty of our species, the suffering we cause and the fact that we are all going to die anyway. Haunting and masterful.

A description of KP there! Ohh, I love to \'hate\' her. Well, not hate exactly, just bring her down a peg or two. lol.
Hey, I avoided death. I was gonna end it all, but the train was cancelled. Doh! Behave, says Fido to me.

Dark, disturbing, haunting and very graphic imagery, and the conclusion rightly nothing or no one can avoid death, a brilliant write

The Dastardly Dell of Death
sorenbarrett said:
Vivid and graphic this poem appears so literal and dark, Cold as a corpse and dark as rotting flesh in metaphor it sings out a dirge of lacrimosa for all living to hear. The last lines are masterful:
The Christ
Though worshipped as
God,
A dead man stiff as if artificially aborted from the womb
By a species dying to mercilessly mangle its own,
This boxed tomb a king’s throne,
Rotting flesh over bruised bone while lying stiff—alone—
A bed fit for a mocked king.
Who will join in on this kind of hymn
Devoid of the pomp and pomposity that Easter brings,
Where one must face the cold, stark
Truth
And in metaphor it is not just God that we make eternal but truth (our truth) Yet in the tomb it is as dead and the God.

Well done you Tristan. The first time I think I have challenged a poet about a particular subject, and probably the last :) The painting by Pierre Auguste Cot, is beautiful. You have certainly achieved, as your earlier poem ending in a most sinister way. Now this has been penned in a most loving and sensual style without a trace of dark or sinister in which you excel. I enjoyed and appreciate this lovely composition and thank you kindly for taking up and delivering the challenge. All good wishes.
