Inspired by Stephanie Lacson
Mortality
Write a poem with a structured rhyme scheme, which focuses on the theme of mortality.
Are You Ready
Time is ticking,
Though you donโt notice.
The sand is falling
Through the hourglass
It sifts through your fingers
Landing in a heap.
Your life is being drained,
Everyday youโre a little less you.
The grim reaper is coming
Closer and closer
Until heโs standing over you
With a scythe in his hand.
You open your mouth,
Itโs almost time to say goodbye.
The reaper lifts his scythe
Heโs ready
But the question is
Are you?
