Perfumed Death


stench
perfumes
the corpse
of rotting
flesh

attracting
a bevy
of beautiful
but vulgar
feasting flies

how beautifully
shocking
to the
uninitiated
is this divine
work of death

Perfumed Death

Not my cup of tea, but your piece raw and descriptive. Well done. ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous

Death begets life. Energy is never created nor destroyed; only transformed. If you get past the "ick" factor in this poem, it gives a good message. Well done. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"The truth is, it doesn't matter what you do. 'Til you gaze in that mirror with an eye that's true.
