I'll have to go with @raj808. I found this poem transcendent. It seemed to come from a primordial well, a blend of lore and instinct, an intuitive reaction. Of course, there is the poetic skill, the firm grasp of style and form, and familiarity with myth. All of this in response to a prompt about a contemplation of death--well, what could be more fitting? So there you go, @raj808, doing something I wouldn't dare.
