I am the one that everyone fears
I bring even the bravest man to tears
Women's' screams and children's' whimpers
They affect me not, just fuel my temper
Mercy is a trait I do not express
I do my job without finesse
You cannot escape my deadly wrath
I follow you down every path
I lurk in the shadows, waiting for you
And your heart, my scythe will go through
It rips your skin, a crimson river flows
As the blade rises again to repeat the blows
I will kill you, and send you to Hell
And in eternal suffering, you soul will dwell
I am the one who will steal your last breath.
Who am I? Hello, my name is Death

This poem is written well, with an even and comfortable flow. The dark element was captured at the right level, not too much, not too little, and it expresses the subject matter well. I enjoyed this read

This was your first Repear poem? I can't believe that. I couldn't see the picture that went with this, but I didn't need to because you basically painted for me with your words. Great job and I'm hooked. I gott read more by you....

Copy Cat. Your poem was a lot better though. Anyways, I liked the last bit. Hello, my name is Steph, I mean Death. LOL. Anyways great job even though you STOLE the idea....

OK, well, this poem was totally the opposite of what I think "death" is. But the poem itself was good. Death is a peaceful thing for the good and the bad. It's what lies after death that will be HELL, LITERALLY!! But like I said good write though. ArchAngel
