If the world endedĀ tomorrow,
Ā
Perhaps aĀ violentĀ death,
A fire would do,
AnĀ engulfing inferno,
Its red-hot fangs transforming land to ash.
Ā
Ā
PerhapsĀ aĀ quiet death,
Just silence would suffice.
No words
No whisper
JustĀ silence.
Ā
WhatĀ haveĀ IĀ achieved?
What have I left?
Does it matter?
Yay
Thx both teachers for commenting
You’ve got an effective alliteration across lines in your third stanza, and the questions at the end are very topical š
You have left this poem which evokes a deep feeling of peril as the world ends yet also a whimsical musing on the nature of existence
