| Beneath One Distant Spring The dead still sleep. Written for Cramp |
| Hi Spooky staiNe This is a nice and rather unsettling poem with deeply meditative and melancholy reflection on death, the afterlife, and the cycle of nature. This poem uses simple, stark imagery to convey a powerful sense of cold finality contrasted with the vibrancy of ongoing life. I feels like a silent, internalized monologue from the perspective of the newly or recently deceased person. The structure is simple, using short, declarative lines that hit with the weight of absolute truth. The central conflict between the dead speaker's cold, silent state and the world's "song of new birth" and "Melodies of life" is beautifully executed. ​🌟 Conclusion ​This is a beautiful and successful contemplation on mortality. It uses the setting of "spring"—typically a symbol of life and renewal—to underscore the your personal experience of permanent stillness. The poem is short, potent, and lingers in the mind, leaving me with a poignant sense of the cold separation between the living and the dead. The emotional depth conveyed in such few lines is commendable. ​Keep writing! This is a powerful piece. sindbad
