This deserves and I mean it the highest praise, to me, It is quite honestly the finest piece I have read in a while.

Great work. Takes a lot of hard work and skills to actually make poetry with rhyme amd meter without the poem suffering from these restrictions. Will check out more later and added you for my later viewing pleasure. N thanks for the comment

The messenger of Death with his scythe turns round his steed and settles in his saddle to reap more heads today! ! Will it be someone from us? An alarming thought! ! The entire description is so dramatic and absorbing! ! A great write! Thanks for the comment!

Frightening words well written. A little spooky before bed. Hope this is the beginning of your New thriller

Wow...chilling stuff! I somehow imagine, when my time comes, I will be carried off in a litter carried by 8 burly men with muscles rippling and it's raining men' playing loudly....but a creepy guy with a scythe works for my darker side I guess: ^) This is a well written poem full of imagery and rhythm. Love it! !
