Dead, Day Of The Poem by M.J. Lemon

Dead, Day Of The

Rating: 5.0

Day of the dead
literal dead?
will this celebrate my passing?
or

Metaphorically dead? I am
figuratively dead
out of ideas, out of inspiration
no talent

dead in some other way?
No use to anyone
fired via email note rife
with grammatical errors and
no punctuation.
Doesn't matter
the boss is important and
very much alive, not dead

Dead to the senses?
perfume that strafes
whatever's in the nose that connects
with passing winds
run away or never smell those
cliched flowers again

Does dead tired count?
A celebration of too much labour
can the sofa ever forgive for being
taken for a coffin for just
far too long

Thank you, my friend. And yes, I have noticed that some of my comments have not been publishe, or it has taken time, a lot of time. Thanks again, Richard.

PH is up to their tricks again i.e. they didn't post my comments. But to their credit, they posted my 5 stars rating. Perhaps, they're dead tired of their job. You, on the other hand, aren't even close to being dead.

All the senses of the word apply, and they nestle together in step-wise order: one can either slip further towards Lethe's current or climb back out when vitality surges.
