Death, a Haiku

Haiku of any subject should leave you the feeling, or spirit of whatever the poem is about, not just the words. So, what should the “spirit” of death be? The latest gambit into my “Haiku of every subject.”

I am stalked by death.

A bony hand held up high

counting off my days.

Yes, I have a feeling of inevitability of death of each of us… sooner or later.

The Reaper begins
His measured steps to meet me
There is no escape.
