the reaper is a flower girl
handing out her burnt tulips,
lilies and roses.
she hears the echos
of her next client.
she swings from a
barbed wire noose,
that punctured her soul.
death
sweeps through her,
as she chokes.
watching her body fall limp,
a sigh breaches her lips.
as she leaves a lilly
in return.

Not sure what option this is ... I know the first line is a title option but ... eh. The poem itself was good, I do like how you took things I said I loved such as barbed wire noose (and swinging from one ... love the image). A nice write, thanks for the entry.
