Death At The Door Poem by Kaitlyn Henning

Death At The Door



The feel of your cold, harsh breath
The brush of your pale, thin hand
I sense you coming,
I feel you near.
The sight of your shimmering slanted blade.
The sound of your footsteps, too light to tell if you’re really there
Death at the door, and I am ready.

The way you use 'breath' in the first line and 'brush' in the second helps them flow coheasively. Puuuuur-fect.: ] This poem is full of suspense and the emotion is intense. I love the last line.

This my favie of yours...tis fabba fab fab. I love 'cold harsh breath'! I can just feeeel that in my bones...plus I like things I can randomly associate with other things, and this makes me think of 'Don't Fear the Reaper' and a book called Keturah and Lord Death, so basically...this poem is made of WIN! ! ! ! ! ! !
