Reading Whitman I imagined manic
Pastures filled with grass
in forest lawns beholding death
eternally. Without a gasp
A man could die and merge with colored
tufts that rose from under
neath the earth to be reborn
and death was just a thump.

I really like this! Love the gap between stanzas, made me take a breath after "gasp" which is a cool effect. Twisty-turny poem, really enjoyed it.
Let's put Rowdy on top of the TV and see which one of us can throw a hat on him first.

"Pastures" should have a little "p"
L5 "A" should be "a"
As one assumes "tufts" refers to grass, this could probably do without the "colored"
Overall, a solid write.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
