There are a lot of those at this cemetary we have here where the ground is a unique sandy mixture, and the bodies preserve really well. They exhumed one that had been there 20 years I think, and looked like she just went into the ground. Creepy.
I wouldn't call that a wreck. I like markers with portraits and his wasn't scary looking like some and the poem actually has some semblance of meter and make sense without sounding like it was written by a 12 year old drama queen. That doesn't happen often.
I agree; it isn't too bad for a "rhyme-y" poem. It was pretty tacky, though, to leave the barcode sticker on the plastic flowers on the right. I can see why people would want to leave plastic flowers as opposed to real ones, but at least get rid of the price tag first!

ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who read that first line as a threat?
ReplyDeleteThey could have given credit to the author of the poem, Judith Bulock Morse.
