Death Walked Slowly Through the Snow
April 3, 2012
Death walked slowly through the snow
Her radiance setting the powder aglow
She tended Winter’s gentle silence
And lended Spring her guidance.
She calmed the suffering creatures
And smoothed their withering features
Until the day the Earth stopped dying
And she was forced into hiding.
Death walked slowly through the snow
And – with nowhere left for her to go –
Approached the House of Life and its host,
Who welcomed her
As the one who made life worth the most.

This is fantabulous! And yes, I just made up a word to help me describe your poem. It was really cool how you made Death a female instead of the feeble old man in a black cloak. It was a very creative idea and I enjoyed it very much :)

it's an interesting perspective. I like it. The words have meaning behind them and make the poem all the more enjoyable to read.

Amazing! I really loved the concept of this poem and the meaning behind it. I feel like this perspective brings out the "better" side of death that we may not realize--like giving relief to the suffering. Great work!
