Death (A Triad)


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

Structure
The Triad

The Triad is a structure I created myself were the poem has three stanzas each with their own separate title . The common factor is that the three stanzas must be on the same theme .

My example here is

Death

By Paul McCann

Alone

When death shall come who can say ,
Go away I'm not at home .
For death is like a final knock.
We face it all alone .

Awake

Tell me have you heard of heaven,
and do they know you're there ?
This world is almost like a womb,
eternal life we'll share .

A Silence

There is no pain or anger.
I have nothing left to say.
In a place of peace,
For death has taken it all away .
