Finish After Lunch Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Finish After Lunch

Rating: 5.0


We have this hour
To light candles
And to open the widows
Invitingly to spring breezes;
After that, we have eternity
To shut our eyes
In windowless coffins.
Everyday our life
Flashes before our eyes,
We must find joy and wonder
Before the undertaker
Mindlessly considers us
Merely another assignment
To finish after lunch.

Absolutely Uriah. I love your take the bull by the horns attitude in this poem. Life should be lived for sure. Sunny day ahead, I hope you have a great weekend, I certainly will. Tai

Today is a fragile gift to be sheltered with both hands. Handle it with care. Warm regards, Sandra

Now this is a super write Uriah, a cleverly put together story, flowing well and slightly humourous in a funny sort of way, or in my opnion anyway. Loved the read. Applause! Love Ernestine XXX
