Exceptional Free verse When a poet dies by kiwisteveh Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

When a poet dies words go into mourning; a flock of lonely birds crying against empty sky. As this soul passes, great forests tremble, troubled by a sudden emptiness of heart and spirit. The roiling sea falls still, turns in upon itself and sighs its grief, a world-has-ended sigh. Our once chattering lives now hang silent, bereft of speech, de-tongued by tragedy. The heavens alone rejoice. They celebrate this death as the joy-filled birth of an angel of light.     Recognized
