another example of how you studiously take up challenges as also experiment using your creativity...

among the two forms of the same theme, in this case I liked the limerick because it comes to the point quickly. I know Jess would like this serious limerick.

Rula,
This guy is in fact unresistable he is a kind of guy that comes always inevitable, just that he always at the wrong and painful time. We only have to take him the way he is. Thanks for this poem.

Hello dear Rula,

I like the first one far better because it lays out your thought and makes it complete. In the limerick I do not feel the second line does enough to clear it up. I do have a question, atmost, I do not know this word. Is it a made up word? I like the first very much.

a limerick on death? Now that's a twist lol. Here's your first (i think better) form with a few changes you can smoke over :
Who knows of one who profits in breath
He's never welcomed regardless his dress,
In dark corner he hide making red mess
no denying his visits, his name being death.

He'd wear some masks you may not know
and break in, through windows and doors,
His greatest benefits are gained from wars
oh tell me that which I'm not ready for.

perhaps the title will read better as "Fear of the Unknown"...this is also because one generally fears "of" and not "from"....you may even delete "from" and keep it as "Fearing the Unknown"...your choice of course..

this piece reminds me of what I have forgotten ever since I focus more on my malay poetry of late. I like the way you express it different from the other limerick poems. Good job.

intriguing poem! a worthy poem, for a difficult subject. i personally like the sing song for the serious issue. what better way to pin death down than in a song?
