I like the way your mind works-- rare it is to find a mind that sees the Mystery
What a well crafted and intelligent poem. I confess that these lines knocked me to my knees--'It isn't Death that laughs like a raven upon the scarecrow of your existence'
It's Life that slipped away while you were making theories about living. are you writing about the life of a priest. priests have a tendency to philosophize since they have to preach every sunday. it is true. live and do not make theories.tony
It's Life that slipped away while you were making theories about living It is not the raven... what a great philosophical thinking. yes we are all busy making theories. love this poem . a big 10. tony
It's Life that slipped away while you were making theories about living.. it is so true our discussions and phlosophizing does not serve any purpose. live, work hard. love and do everything for love. then you live. wonderful thought. tony

Make no mistake dear passerby It isn't Deaththat laughs like a raven upon the scarecrow of your existence It's Life that slipped away while you were making theories about living Wow- -what a wonderful poem about life!
Clever anecdote about the dangers of detached dissection and analysis of life.
Indeed! If you let life slip away, it comes back to haunt you like a portent of doom. A crow does not fear a scarecrow. I like the aphoristic style.
An observation most significant. When life is in front of you, you let it slip through your fingers. Dear Kostas, all your poems have powerful messages. Thank you for sharing.
a bit obscure for this scarecrow. give me Dorothy and Oz any day. bri ;)
Death is not the real threat, but time that slipped away unnoticed while we were so engrossed in planning how to live. A very concise and epigrammatic write! A sure 10
ghost can't make too scary scene but the living peoples make most heinous scary scene than ghost!
Wonderful poem woven by a brilliant mind. Very perceptive and with a meaningful message.
