In staunch repose does lie my corpse,

As dead as dead can be,

Until the sun comes beaming in,

And wakes the soul in me.

Loved this. Any poem I can understand is always a winner with me. Haha.

I like it! Brief and to the point, yet poetic.

Very nice. It describes how I felt after all the rain we had up here for the past few weeks.

kinda would like to here more....how did your corpse get that way?

It reminds me of a verse from one of those dead poets...

Succinct and finely tuned, as Hannah said, "Sounds like a nursery rhyme."

Awesome. You're talented.
