Grave Poem by Ijanric Howe

Grave

Rating: 5.0


A living hand gave wave,
Long left growing under
For rain to slowly plunder:
A wart upon the grave.

Against the sky the grave withstood
The spiteful rain, a stony hood
That only could,
Stifle up the rifle
And stop the endless rain
Enough to feed the shoots
Plumbed to the roots
Of rotten corpses lain.

I have enjoyed reading many of your new poems. You have an unique voice and your use of tone and diction certainly gets the message across. Keep writing.
