| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 09/27/06 at 02:46 AM I really like this unique look at the cemetery by way of the gravedigger. Why would he know anything different than us? Thought provoking. |
| Posted by Rusty C Arquette on 09/27/06 at 02:56 PM Great philosphical statement..almost zen like in its simplicity..presents a new way to view an old question - Well done Chaz! - RCat |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/27/06 at 04:35 PM One of your recent best IMO Chaz. Love the question and comeback in the second stanza. Adds to favourites. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 09/27/06 at 10:35 PM i really likeed this, although I have no idea why. I think it's because I could see the gravedigger in my mind's eye! |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 09/27/06 at 11:05 PM Hi Chaz. How can we know death when we barely yet know life? Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed -- that is merely human. This is just excellent, and so aptly titled! Thanks.

Here lies a supreme example of repetition not equaling learning...no matter how many holes he fills, the hole remains empty still. |
| Posted by Dave Fitzgerald on 09/29/06 at 10:48 PM Great, what a last line! |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 09/30/06 at 03:13 AM Tonight appears to be my night to read your latest poems, and I'm glad, because they are fantastic! This one is so simple, but evokes a thousand emotions and opens as many questions in the heart and mind.

| Posted by Ariane Scott on 10/01/06 at 05:54 AM this is a deep hole you've dug here, mr. morgan-- but it's not an empty hole, you've filled it again with so many possibilities. Cool ponder, simply and lyrically articulated. intriguing tone. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/03/06 at 12:22 PM Congrats on hitting No. 1 Chaz. Well deserved!! |
