Dad Died

Dad died during disastrous disease,

days devoted drearily;

dirt, death, deceptive darkness.

Daring destiny’s damage,

daily deafening drumrolls deliver

dreadful dreams - damp, deteriorated.

Dawn dissuades doom,

divulging drifting, detoxing devils;

dining during dusk

drawing disappointment, demoralization,

dependent drownings, dabbed down, despondently.

Defaced

depersonalized dissatisfaction,

drowning derailment - deeper detachment.

Decline dissolved, decay deported:

dispelling doubtful delirium.

Dad died,

distinctive departure,

demons deemed deserving, delightful, detouring demise.

Duty delivered decorum,

dodged disillusioned debris -

Dad died

dignified.
