NaPoWriMo (17) Saturday Scribes

Written for NaPoWriMo day seventeen
and posted to Saturday Scribes

DIE IF YOU DO
(DIE IF YOU DON'T)
Cut me, carve me up
and do what you will
with my body when I'm gone

Slash me and slice me
but you won't get my soul
in no hole in the ground

'cos I'll be gone, long gone
back to Tiny Tree, the place
that I came from

I'll be floating again
you won't find my mind
when you disect my brain

If I'm gone by September
I urge you to remember
to recall

You're a long time dead
and like the good book said:
You only get one chance

'cos I'll be gone, long gone
back to the place that I
came from, Tiny Tree

Die if you do, die if you don't
there ain't no wish this
why that or want

If you do
I don't wanna die
IF YOU DON'T
die wanna don't if
do you I

  2. Carve it, carve it...

    Coincidence?

    My poetry simply goes hand in hand with this!

    will you come into my parlour

  3. I really like the way you work rhythm into your poetry. Almost gives it the feel of beat poetry, or a clap-hands song.
