The concept of death has captivated our imaginations since the beginning of human society. It has formed cultures, defined religions, shaped the course of history. Write about death. It can be lighthearted, humorous, hopeful, respectful, dreading, mournful, optimistic--you can paint it in any light you would like. Any style and format- poetry, prose, story, fiction, nonfiction, etc.

Not Forgotten

Dead flowers dress the rooftops

Of these final destinations.

Weathered trinkets mark the entrance

To these ancient habitations.

Stone monuments give tribute

In this soul depository.

Lay me down and let me bask

In their everlasting glory.

Surround me with the epitaphs

Of those who've gone before me.

Lift me up, give me strength,

And let me tell their story.
