POEM STARTER
Write a poem with the title 'Life Lessons from Death'.
Consider what Death might want to impart on those who can experience living, and the voice that Death might speak from.
The Reaper
βOh my, itβs time, my dear.β
βPlease, Reaper, I donβt want to go!
Not yet, oh please, please, sir!β
βItβs time to go.β
Death knows no specific date,
Nor time, nor hourβ
Life is fragile,
It wavers and falters at every turn.
Live your life until the Reaper calls,
Explore the world,
Touch the grass and the trees,
Play with the animals,
Taste, smell, hear, see as much as you can.
Make loved ones along the way.
Embrace the Grim Reaper,
For when he comes,
Itβs time to go.
