A Nonet with feelings from a funeral yet to happen. -7th November 2012.


Out of bounds.

For the final hour I walk this path;
Cobbled stone in powerful drift.
Church bells softly churn rhythm
And crowds suddenly shift.
I just have to leave
Before I'm found.
No more life;
Out of
Bounds.

Great write, John. Even the physical structure of this poem drives the point home. Well done.

Another fine write, John.
There is a subtlety to this piece that I rate very highly. Here we have a perfect blend of shape and substance, a fading promenade until the final hour sounds.
Very much enjoyed; applaudeth.

I just love this, your third line is superb. To me it feels like a funeral?? As though I have walked that path.
