Amazing poem. Right structure. Death is inevitable. Although it's terrifying, it's what comes in the very end of the cyle.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
I always felt the reaper was to harvest those lost souls for Satan. I fear him not. My faith in God has been and still is being tested. I have not faltered. Great poem about the reaper and I liked the rhymes. Great write.
Starting today, the 30th and until September 3rd, I will be without internet service. I am getting a place of my own. I need to break away from my niece and her family. It is draining my spirit with so much negative energy Dean. It has caused my decline in composing poetry. So, I will be back late in the day on the 3rd. Take care my friend until then,,,,,,Jim

Thanks, Jim. I will be moving this weekend, into a much larger home with my wife & daughter. We are so looking forward to the extra room...
Thanks for your wonderful review, Jim. I fear him not, either...
I, too, will be without internet service until the cable company can come and hook me up. So, until one of us is back on, I'll see you on the flip side, my friend!
God bless...

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is an interesting poem from the author. I loved the poem, but I loved the background story even better. There have been numerous stories about the Grim Reaper. In Revelations the Devil is said to be reaping and devouring souls as well. This is very disturbing indeed.

Comment from A Matter Of Words
Here is another example of the compete package known as a Dean Kuch poem. cryptic message - take a look at our fear of death and how it is rooted in the uncertainty. Death is an inevitable part of life that we cannot evade. To fear death is fruitless, and robs of living life, so why bother. (?)

Comment from Sararb
He looks awfully scary, so I think that I would fear the reaper. Very good job. Thanks for sharing. A new type of 5-7-5 poem for me. Sararb :)

Thanks, Sararb. I rarely see a 5-7-5 in the horror genre. I don't know why, but it's a fact, nonetheless. So, I did one, just for the heck of it...

You are so good at creating chills down the spin. The complete package with the artwork and the poem are awesome. The notes just add that much more.
Good advice in your poem...if one can get past the fear...

We may as well not fear him, Debi. He'll catch up with us all, eventually. Instead of worrying about death, we should worry about living life to the fullest...
Thanks for the great review!

Comment from Parissa
A well written poem and flows beautifully. We should not fear the reaper since all of us will have to face him. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from madhatter1977
First of all, that's a great song - I do know it well. Secondly, it goes so well with your 5-7-5. The artwork is fantastic and the history of the personification of Death is something I didn't know about and found fascinating.
As for the poem, it's very deep in so few words. Comprehend your fear, closely hold its darkness-near, don't fear the reaper! A fear of physical death or a fear of change in life? Interesting again and one to ponder as to the cryptic meaning it holds. That's my best understanding at the moment, Dean! Best wishes and great work again, Pete :)
