I Spied The Grim Reaper Comments

Well no one can escape 'Death' it is inevitable. The way you wrote this poem 'Simple and Straight' touched my poetic soul. Full ******

This made me chuckle! Usually the grim reaper is going to see you first. Congratulations on escaping this time!

A black, stark photo image that is just right for the serious-humorous poem. I fear the grim reaper, but not all the time.

It's wonderful that you can write of this with such humour! Hope he goes on his way for quite a bit longer, and doesn't return until you're certain that you're good and ready for him! :)

You follow here, dear Barry, the tradition of a long literature composing its text on Charon of the hellenic mythology since 750 a.d. at least with the first epics -especially the Ilias and Odyssee. The hellenic folk songs on the matter are a great chapter of this mythology too.On the same matter see my own poem Descend on the necro-oracle of Acheron too.The excavation of the shrine were made by my great professor Sotiris Dacaris.I worked as his assistant for two years excavating Dodona.
