Accomplished Poem by John Powers

Creepy boney
skeleton man
why you standing there
holding my hand?

'You have completed your task,
it is time now to bring you back.'

Creepy shadow
skeleton man,
I have only just arrived
I cannot be done on this land!

'By simply being, you will be remembered.
A memory of you is all they need.'

Creepy kind
skeleton man
surely my life is more useful,
I know it can

'To leave you here past your time,
you would only undo what you have done.'

Mercy kind
skeleton man
what have I done
with my helping hand?

'You have done enough.
You cannot stay alone.'

Mercy kind
skeleton man
If you say so.
Come and take me home.
