I am maddened by the
Death-knock.
In a frenzy I run,
for the many chores to be done...

Beautiful composition...Many things to be done before death.As Robert Frost' s poem reveals...We have miles and miles to go..Before we sleep. Thanks for sharing.
Spooky, poem was good, i have more poems posted, please read when you have time, please leave coment and vote, with thanks x
This is sensational! A very important message from a very talented writer 10/10
that's it 'scribbling poem after poem' while it still can. thank you very much for a terrific piece of work. john
yes, death is an ever-present force that grows stronger as we grow older...and time, time is its partner in crime... real emotions here Naseer, not an easy write, brings to mind Dylan Thomas lines 'rage, rage against the dying of the light'
After coming to ph and interacting with the many thoughts and insights gained from the poems I've read here, I've started feeling that Time is running out fast on me and I have to race to accomplish atleast a few worthwhile things in life. Life has risen to loftier heights from mere thinking of self always, I still indulge in writing about my desires & dreams. But, I've also learnt to (really) think of others pain. Thanks Naseer for being one of my motivating inspirations. this is a beautiful poems which reminds us of the paucity and preciousness of Time. Angel
I can relate to this because of personal things that have happened in my life..I feel this way often, like there is no time to accomplish the things I should be doing and time will run out on me too quickly...I felt the whirl and I am still dizzy...I loved it..very emotionally stirring!
I felt alot of emotion in this poem and i can really relate to the idea of death always present in your life
hmmmm i agree with this poem... quiet brilliant if you ask me.....
The structure makes it a hurry to read, giving the reader the full effect of the meaning of the poem. We really do seem to whirl our lives away in chores and business...Thankyou.
Brilliant! Some people intead of living die each single day. What some call life is, on the contrary, the death of the real being. 10!
brilliant poem ..........words used with great precision.....I loved it.
Why worry about the call of death, my friend. Life is to be lived. Death comes later.
The business of life is to live accepting that death is inevitable use what time you have to the full extent
what a way to put together this mild yet strong feeling...and how it expresses the irony of us switching to the next stage and its time comming long after! I thought one could only feel such stuff and it couldnt be written about but this is awesome!
We are all sunset travelers.It is just that some of us are closer to the West than others. A very profound acknowledgment that time is really not on our side. As always, you express yourself with an elegance that is uniquely your own. Take care. Kindest regards, Sandra
Excellent piece I must admit--though a long one ----good i went through the full----and enjoyed it to the last word' Great write Naseer---keep writing anjali
man and his mental cobweb...how silly and strong we look in our spider minded confidence! a kingdom built on ‘octopoid’ boundaries...to be pierced on a slight movement in the atmosphere... a neat and beautiful work, Naseer
Anything that reaches an individual deep inside is a poem, well done, such depth...
