Secrets of the dead

Secrets of the dead

A Poem by Picture of Poetry
"

What secrets will you take to the grave?

"

Buried in the depths

of the cold lifeless dirt

lie the decrets of the dead.

Closed and smothered

in the pages of a book

live the secrets of the dead.

Locked and stored away

in a donjon of death and doom

breath the secrets of the dead.

Forever hidden

in YOUR sould and eyes

are the secrets of the dead.

I wrote this one day when I wasn't listening in algebra 2 class, but I still thinks that it is cool. SO just read it and tell me what you think of it and give me some advise on it. PLEASE AND THANK YOU! :>P

This is much better than anything that could ever be learned in algebra 2, believe me. XD I really enjoyed the repetition and the dark imagery throughout this poem. A few typos "decrets" (secrets) and "sould" (soul). But otherwise, great job with this!!! =)
