Skull Poems

Skull poems

A skull poem is a poem where you mock people by telling them Death is coming for them. Sometimes the person is someone you know, sometimes not. 
Here is an example of a calaverita for my dear friend Silvia. 

Oh, my dear Silvia
you can't see, 
but the Reaper is here
he´s really upset
that you won't rest.

You're so busy
he's so antsy
you wanna teach
but he's gonna reach.

I just wanna tell'ya
he's gonna catch'ya
even when you flee
he's gonna come all weird.

I'm pretty sure 
I've to say my byes to you
For when he comes
you'll be welcome
in his most beloved place
oh, old good underworld...
