The Funeral Home Poem by rich soos

The Funeral Home

Rating: 5.0


the old cat is silent sleeping
the old man is slowly creeping
a painting on the wall a mountain
beyond a young man near a fountain
three pots of flowers standing proud
music playing not too loud
people sitting speaking quiet
and eating snacks despite their diet
a person enters and two more leave
this seems a peaceful place to grieve


from In Bed And In The Bathtub (1970)

Thank you sir. That was written when I was 12 years old. I didn't have a camera, so I took word snapshots in my journal.
