DEATH
Death comes to you in the middle of the night,
Or sweeps you away in broad daylight.
This being mans biggest doubt,
Death is not to be talked about.
Where he comes from where he goes?
We have no tangible proof that shows.
The masters say there is a holy light,
In the beginning and during our last flight.
How do I overcome my fear of death?
By leading a good life and having no regret.
The moment I die I must do my best,
To become one with the light, eternal rest.
The soul must merge with the super soul,
Forever to become part of the whole.
As long as I have much to give,
That is how long I will live.
At the end to death I must go,
Finishing a real tragic and funny show.

"Finishing a real tragic and funny show."
I don't think this line is appropriate for this particular contest. Just a thought. Prehaps you could revise this piece as a "new poem" so that it might bring more comfort to the bereaved.
The poem as is does make a nice "urn" shape. Was that intentional? -
Irrelevant!
No mention of any of the important things...
Jesus
Punishment for evildoers
The joy that the saved folk will have at the Rapture
The pain of hellfire
...and last but not least... The endless torture in Hades reserved for sinners.
Apart from the above, it's a winner! -
very good peom. Thank you for entering the contest/

A poem called "Death" in a contest about the meaning of life? "How interesting," I thought to myself. As the piece progresses, you touch on many of the questions of life which are brought about through it's terminus-- I especially liked your very last line, "Finishing a real tragic and funny show"... if THAT doesn't paint an accurate picture of life, I don't know what does.
Thanks very much for your entry!

A picture of death
would steal my breath
perhaps it is best
you completed with less. -
loved the flow and message within this poem, the fear of death is something we all need to let go of, to leave this plane with the fear of death released, can only be positive for the soul to continue on in its journey
-
I think you did a really nice job with this. Death is not a “comfortable” subject for some. I have no problem uttering its name, because I have so much still to give to this world, so I convince myself that I am going to be around for a long time.
I liked what you had to say within your rhymes. It was a strong message.
Keep penning and welcome to AP!
