A Speeding Bullett... (poem) by Joyce E Bowling on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on August 21, 2008

Reminded me of a funeral I conducted where I had to slow the pallbearers down to a halt just short of the hall entrance. I adjudged that the mourners had still to gather their thoughts and composed themselves in readiness to stand. At another funeral I took the steward did not even take the time to shake my hand. 'You've only got eighteen minutes at most to start and finish the service,' he brusquely stated. Not only this, he practically ordered the mourners to leave the forecourt after the service in order for the next funeral to move forward. Lightening Funeral Services is an apt title for some companies.

Regards
David

An interesting poem and I wonder why he was drivng so fast. This would be a great starter for one of those stories that people add their thoughts to. I bet they could think up dozens of reasons why they think a black hearse was zipping down the road like a bullet.

I like the way you turn a simple experience into poetry. Nicely done.

This was full of energy, mystery, and images, leaving me wondering too. One thing for sure, if they don't slow down they'll be the one riding in a coffin in the hearse. A nice write.
