Le Danse Macabre
A nice little happy/macabre poem for you based on the Jonathan Creek theme tune.

Le Danse Macabre
.
When Death starts to dance
He creates a merry trance
The pixies go and prance
When Death starts to dance
.
When Death starts to reap
He often goes too deep
The wraiths go and weep
When Death starts to reap
.
When Death goes to play
He oft gets his way
The sprites begin to say
When Death goes to play
.
When Death goes to kill
He gets an awful thrill
The Shades begin to shrill
When Death goes to kill
.
Hope you like it, please comment

I see what you meant about this one too–TLR. This one is very cool–really like the light spin you put on Death! Hehe!
Yeah, this is probably one of the ones I like the most out of my own stuff. It also happens to be another one inspired by something else – Saint Saens “Danse Macabre Op 40” ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcOZmtbLRP0&feature=related is a good version). Death need not be feared, we’re all going to face him at some point, might as well just laugh and ask how he is instead of go kicking and screaming, you’re going either way.

You are so right. We’re all going to go sooner or later–no need for drama! In fact, I wrote a piece about how I see my going–take a look if you’d like. http://bodhirose.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/when-the-moment-comes-i-die/

I really like these death poems you are working on – I like the changes and shifts in tone between them, and that you are taking it seriously, but not somberly. Fun stuff!
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my series on Death, its a topic that’s always interested me. Sadly I think the Danse Macabre set will remain as the three for the forseeable. I always see death as something that is going to happen, so you might as well accept it, though probably not make too light of it. Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the thoughtful comments.
