Haiku - 0695 - Rest In Peace
Communism, dead,

its elegy red

Elegy
You are my living
elegy
Breathing beating beasting feasting
incantation bleeding
sound boiling to
heat becoming
LIGHT
you are my living beauty
you
yes, you
burst begetting brilliance
scintillant substance of quintessence
fetting my
realized actualized
unconscious
eidolON
Angel of the lord washing the dirt
from sun-burnt
FACE
We
we Are
living this
being this
beauteous elegy
fruitious monument of merriment
magnificent Magical melody

elegy of ages
poets of centuries,
their words ever so
-eloquent
whisper their lives
which
Result in catastrophe
but preserve them forever
-in elegy

Chidioch Tichborne (1558-1586)
On September the nineteenth 1586 in London Tower
When the bloom of his young life was decaying like a flower
Dying in the cool winds of the early Fall
In words his tragic life he did recall.
Chidioch Tichborne to something beautiful to gave life
In his farewell elegy to Agnes his wife
An elegy still read and popular today
True greatness can be slow for to meet decay.
Accused as being in a failed plot to murder Elizabeth England's Queen
His best days as a poet he had not seen
Hung drawn and quartered a brutal way to die
Such a death to justice surely gives the lie.
Executed in his twenty eight year even in those times that was young
But he did not remain as one unsung
His gift of life may have been snatched from him in his prime
But his life story and his elegy have withstood the test of time.
