A Place To Die

William Michael Reid

By William Michael ReidPublished 5 years ago • 1 min read
Mixed media self-made art piece based on poem.

On the hill stands the humble little house

Inside full of humble little plants

Perfectly potted pots of peonies

Sit still silently on solemn sills

They watch over the humble gardens

Viscous vines of rose

Hiding hermits amidst the grove

Sit in silence as they decompose

What a solemn place to die

A Forest full of friendly flowers

Waterfalls winding rocks in willing willows

Peaceful singing plotting petals

Humming hiding hithering hills

Blood stained burning builders

Red drops in bubbling waters

What a beautiful place to die

Crying trying finding biding

This place will always end up dying

Bodies always end up piling

Whispers carry rules unspoken

"Don’t check the basement."

"It’s far too dark."

And "Everyone has their part."

What a menacing place to die
