Poem -
THE CEMETERY ON THE HILL
Like 7 Pin it 3ON A COLD WINTER DAY
I WALKED THE CEMTERY
ON THE HILL A COLD WIND
FILLS THE AIR AS I COULDĀ
HEAR THE WHISPERS OFĀ
THE GRAVESĀ IT GAVE MEĀ
CHILL AS THE SUN FILLEDĀ
THROUGH THE LITTLEĀ
CLOUDS IN THE SKYĀ
AS I WALK THIS HILLĀ
I BEGIN TO READ THEĀ
GRAVESĀ AS A COLD WIND
CAME UPĀ AND I THOUGHT
I SAW SOME ONEĀ OR WASĀ
IT JUST MY SHADOW ASĀ
WALKED THIS HILL I FEEL
THE STILLNESS THATĀ
FILLS THE AIR AND I CAN
HEAR THE VOICES FROM
THE GRAVES AS I WALK
DOWN THE CEMETERYĀ
ON THE HILL I THOUGHTĀ
I SAW SOME ONE I LOOK
BACK IT WAS THE SHADOWSĀ
OF THE GRAVES AND THEĀ
TREES OR WAS ITĀ
THE CEMETERY ON THE HILL

Nicely written Greg and very unsettling at the same time , one can feel the cold and that wind as well.
And just reading some comments you certainly know your pilgrim history and wrote your superb poem around that.
Thanks for writing and sharing and that snowy pic just adds to the cold poetic climate as well.
Five deserved stars and pinned too.āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

\I have this fascination with death. I acknowledge it and its ;power over mortal man. Yet I want to disdain it and walk all about it and belittle it.. The walk on this hill with the gravestones... is the mock and the refusal to let it manipulate your perception... great write
