Remembrance

Death isn’t for the timid,
Caught in its embrace, he lay,
The air around is frigid,
All around is a dreary dismay.

Efficient, he was in life,
Adventures, he had his share,
Alternated by peace and strife,
All that remains today is despair.

Exams!

Nervous
Anxious
Strenuous
Arduous
Bicker amid nervous, anxious state,
Trajectory of strenuous arduous fate.

Grouch!

Though it can change in a flash,
Cryptic she was to be today,
In a mood to malign, she was.
