Flock of dead Sheep..I added some.

[Mikepoet]

I see ones a lying
Mirth’s facially expressed
I think I envy him
he smiled right into death.

I see another could be his brother
cause they all look he same.
Though I’ve heard that some Sheppard’s
can correctly call them by name.

Counting the Sheep would be easy;
it’s these faces of death that’s hard
to go to sleep counting dead sheep
with philosophies of a Bard.

Each shows emotions sewed
the final look while they are dying
The overview of their life
from the eye within their mind

I wonder what I will think
as life’s flashes in front of my eyes.
Success or failure on Deaths brink
existence lived self-analyzed.

Thanks I am not real sure where I was going with it though.

very interesting piece mike...i loved the first two stanzas...sometimes ending a poem is really really difficult...but this one wrapped up pretty well....good job

Sets a rather eery image, "counting dead sheep" sort of takes a twist to the childlike connotations to actually counting sheep before bed. Clever twist and i like the idea it's exposing, nicely done.

I do not think it's done yet, this does not mean I will finish it though. ;DI cannot stick to the same thing for long.
