Her Highness Contemplates A Seemly End
Nobility in dying is something I shan’t botch,
for I know it shall be one that the whole wide world will watch.
I cannot go by fire, for I’m sure I would be screaming
as the water quenched the fire and set my flesh to steaming.
So unseemly and so crass. I’d find it unappealing.
So, too, a rope around my neck, hanging from the ceiling.
Jumping from a roof won’t do. Nor will a gun nor pills.
Every sort of suicide just sports too many ills.
It’s clear that death by avalanche is the only one
that will really suit me when the day is done.
A certain swift clean fall of snow seems such a pristine death.
A queenly mode of dying. Such a regal final breath!

I am constantly amazed at what you come up with from the prompt words. What a mind.

That’s the fun of the prompts. They suggest associations my mind would otherwise not make. Sometimes a bit scary, though. All those hidden places in the mind. It is like spelunking.

Judy, you’re far too young to be thinking of such things. If you saw a snow avalanche you’d revert to your leittle girl’s golden curls days and start making snowmen and snow balls. xx Anton

A bit chilly, but definitely better than jumping off the roof from which you might be merely hurt rather than dead. I always worry about that.

Is there a reason for your creative juices flowing into the direction of tombstones and modes of dying lately?
