If you think you are a hypochondriac by definition aren't you?


Frosty arms close round your chest.
As eyes close, you finish your quest.
Darkness closes around your eye
Your breath escapes, a cold death sigh
A roaring river, the final test
To separate the kindness from the evil nest
The splashing waters of kindly and trust
The place where the dead will never turn to dust

This good. But something about the flow is a little bit choppy. BUT I am OBSESSED with imagery and metaphors, and you displayed them beautifully. (Don't change this into a short story by the way like someone suggested. It's better as a poem.) Work on the flow and this will be AMAZING! And if you could check out my work sometime that would be great!

This is great! I love how you make death sounds so peaceful and carefree, hahaha. I also like your allusion of the river in the Greek mythology. When I read that, the picture of the river and the boat came to my mind clearly, hahaha. Good job, keep up the good works.

mmmm i like this...hahaha im usually not a poetry reader and i think differen but i can deffinantly see this as more then a poem you could turn this into a short story! :D its a great idea...and ur right most people think others die and just go in the ground but in water the body actually is somewhat preserved for a while!!! i know ur a poetry person but if you could check out my work it's quite short that would be lovely! its called beep... if you get the chance...if not thats alright too! good luck and keep it up!
