I'm sorry guys, another repost (a pantoum), but I wanted to share this one with my friends at the Pub.
I wonder if it gives you the same feeling as it gives me and still does.  


It was such a sweet caress
On that weary dreary day
Longing for my bonnie lass
Solemn grief ate me away

On that weary dreary day
Death came passing by my door
Solemn grief ate me away
Heartache mine forevermore

Death came passing by my door
Looking at my soppy eyes
Heartache mine forever more
Bonnie lass she just had died

Looking at my soppy eyes
Feeling sorry in a way
Bonnie lass she just had died
Said "this is your lucky day"

Feeling sorry in a way
Her kiss cold yet sweet to me
Said "this is your lucky day"
Your sweet bonnie lass you’ll see

Her kiss cold yet sweet to me
Longing for my bonnie lass
Your sweet bonnie lass you’ll see
It was such a sweet caress

I don't know how it makes you feel but it makes me weepy.  Sad yet happy too for "your sweet bonnie lass you'll see".

Munda,
I enjoyed the read
It seemed real classy
Tho maybe not my speed-
Nor like some of yours so sassy.
But it was entertaining
Tho' a bit sad-by death's strong hand,
Yet with the sense of love remaining
Overcoming life's ultimate demand!
Munda you did real good!   David

Munda,

 She says baby,
It's 3am I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

I love you baby... always.*

childomine - David - Janet, thank you so much for your replies.  

Maybe I should explain first how this feels to me  
To me this poem feels sad for the loss of a true love and yet very happy to be given the oppertunity to follow even in death.
In this poem Death feels as a sweet caress to me. Sounds weird ? LOL Maybe that's because I am a little weird  

Thank you for your kind words.

Munda...I know this name could not have stemmed from Mundane, for the art of your writing is anything but.  

Thank you for reposting this pantoum...I know how hard they are to write sometimes.

And it tickled me to no end to walk in the Pub and see a goodly chunk of what I've posted here brought to the top.  

Well, here's a self-indulgent challenge for ya...see how many you can find in all the poetry forums, including the archives.  

After that exhaustive search, let me know if I still have a lack of posting.

Churning out poetic hash.
Lord, in all Your piety,
Help me keep my sanity:
Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat

Oh no Alicat, what did you do? You've gone and challenged Munda, she nevers steps down from a challenge, be ready to see your name in lights.

Munda Nice poem here, I agree with the Nurse though we need more.

Okay.....I made a mess of the Pub and open 6 ! Got them all in open 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - and have 9 to go in open 1. I found 2 in Spiritual, 1 in Prose, 9 in Dark ( did only 2 there) and 1 in the Workshop. I didn't bring them all back up in the smaller Forums, as I do not think that's the right thing to do  
All and all around 90 poems   BUT....that's old ! How about 90 new ones this year ? LOL
OK, I dare you to contact me on ICQ.....do I have a challenge for you Sir !!!
Happy now   I declare today, March 5 2000, Universal Alicat Day !..............Purrrrrrr my friends. He wrote some purrrrrrrrfect poetry !

Oh Munda, so far from Mundane, you definately made my night.    

The challenge was complete...except for a couple you couldn't have known about...before I became Alicat, I went by Alastiar.     *heheh also found 6 in Adult*

Geeze..90 new ones?  OK...give me a couple of days.

Munda,
This poem really tugged at my heartstrings as I too lost a love to death.  How much I was able to relate to it and your meaning of death.  Beautiful.
