Poem: Appointment (rough, very rough)

I have an appointment in a while

Actually, I think it's a lovely conceit: death (or seeing the face of God, if you want a Christian interpretation, which lots of poetry seems to demand, ugh) as an appointment. But I almost feel as though there needs to be another stanza....

I know. and normally I don't post until it's something I'm satisfied with...

but the fact is it's derivative of so many other work that it almost makes me want to cry. so I stopped and I'm letting it lay there until I need to pick it up again.

so, cross your fingers.

I didn't feel that it was derivative, unless the whole human fear/expectation of death is derivative.

Fingers crossed, lovely.
