Came from a small town family..
Had a degree and set goals to achieve.
He was a good lookin' man;
Bright brown eyes with long lashes..
Girls fell head over heels with one glance at his smile
A man with perseverance, many passions, and a friendly heart
Was broken. A family torn apart.
A couple years of stardust
Would bring any man to his rest.
Without a beg from God, he lay at ease;
He's taken only the best.
"I told you we'd make it to the sunshine one day,
You just got there a little quicker",
Were words he posted, as our hearts grew thicker.
I have decided to write "Death Becomes.." as a free verse poem. I found with this type of poem, I had more control over what I was writing and my emotions could be expressed much easier. I wanted the poem to tell a story. Rhyme, rhythm and form are not mandatory in a free verse poem but I tried to incorporate it as much as I could. "Death Becomes.." is a 5 stanza poem. In the first two stanzas, I didn't rhyme, but tried my best to incorporate the same rhythm. I considered these two stanzas to be the most serious as its describing a person's life. The third stanza of this poem would be the climax. That being said, I wanted to start rhyming. I felt that rhyming the last 3 stanzas in the poem would enlighten the mood, considering that it is the most depressing. Overall, even though it is a free verse poem, I still found it difficult to write. But, it came from within so I had a visualization of what and how I was going to write.
