Inevitable

Short and to the point.

Heavy hangs the burden of death

on the hopeful hearts of newlyweds.

An understandable sentiment. Few words that speak plenty. Would have liked more in this one, I hope to see an extended version.

Death and newlywebs. A lot in one poem. I liked the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Is this a factual statement for a percentage of a population? If so, where are we finding this burden to be so great?

[Mia]

What I wanted to portray was that in marriage, in this bonding and uniting of two people, there is this underlying burden that they will one day have to face the loss of one another.

I misunderstood, my bad, I will buy your premise!

[marcus]

Wow, you just completely deconstructed marriage for me in two lines! Awesome!

[Mia]

Thank you so much!

Great write! Did this happen to you? It happended to me.

[Mia]

No it didn't, but I'm terribly sorry for your loss, and thank you for taking the time to review. I'm glad you liked it, especially since you've experienced it.

Thanks, ya, my father in law died three months after our marriage. He was flying a kite and dropped dead. An aneurism popped in his head.
