Flowers at a Funeral Parlor

DANCE MACABRE

Flowers at a Funeral Parlor:

the pungent odor of carnations
and the sickening decay of roses
that have had their day
no bouquet can stop
the lingering formaldehyde
from breaking through
to the Chanel Number 5….
an open casket emits
an odor of its own
and the mix is the Maker
of Nightmares of the Living Dead

what sentiments flow

from your rife mind
we all know
you still
alone glow

Thanks Richards
ere the candle flickers
keep us on Joe's mind's
lap tops fingers

the scents of sense...

beautiful rugged work
the art of the maker
from above
and earthbound
best betide the ceremony

I went to a friends gathering
as I call them
before that not many
but I made a lot of friends
as U to me Geremia
and thank U Richard!

Mr Esker!

poets are emotional yes but.... they never cry

yet tears they forge
in readers eye
do compose ere Joe
you still can we all know
where is Richards
speak out your voice
let the whole world
still with your thoughts rejoice
if you give us all a
lovely choice

Hi Joe

I did not understand "Richard for Joe" in the signature / concluding line...however this is an exceptional poem particularly since it has touched upon a rare theme...

Regards,
