Oh the reaper . . . Good poem. The flow was just great. I never liked the reaper, especially on my sim games . . . Oh how I dreaded him. LOL. I enjoyed this poem. ~ Rose

Thanks a bunch, Rose. Much obliged!
Comment from twoeggheads
Excellent writing! Your vocabulary is suitably Victorian Gothic, and the rhythm perfect. Great picture, too. The only reason it didn't get six stars is that I had difficulty identifying the opening "she." Well done!

Congratulations my friend. First place! Wow
Such a scary poem, I was such a scardy cat when I was a kid. My big sis loved to scare me. I have to give you a virtual six because it's Friday and I'm out. *****+
How's that Dean? Good Job! Nancy

Hi Dean,
Congratulations on a well-deserved win! You are the master of horror writing. Your stories and poems are wonderfully eerie and raise the hair on the back of my neck. This poem really plays with the emotional fear, and keeps one on alert at all times.
Please accept my virtual six stars ****** Sorry I haven't any real ones left to give.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Thanks a bunch, Bill. I eat, sleep and breathe the horror genre. I've been hooked on it since the late 1960s, when I used to sneak out to the store and buy those CREEPY and EERIE magazines. I do so wish those were still in publication today.
Thanks for the fantastic review. Much obliged!

Congratulations on your win in the contest. No one could have beaten this. You write so well.
Quatrains with abab rhymes.
Alliterations: wretched wraith, her a hundred, darkness growing deeper

Comment from mfowler
This is really good. Its premise of the Reaper coming for the poet's soul (voice) sets up a cliched, but imaginable idea in the reader's mind. Then you can just concentrate on writing that smooth verse with the creepy language to allow the narrative to take hold in the imagination. The setup with the moving lock image and black white text page just complete a great entry. Gee your style seems familiar.

Hah, thanks mfowler. I get that quite a lot, although I can't see for the life of me just what is is that's so familiar, (LOL).
Seriously though, I do appreciate the fine review and comments, very much.
Comment from AnonymousWisdom
It's talons rake along the floor
Change "It's" to "Its"
It's = it is
its = possessive
This is very creepy, and despite the grammatical error that is a personal peeve of mine, this was incredible!
Flowed well, was a great read.
Elements of terror worked in perfectly.
Very wonderfully creepy--I enjoyed reading!
Fabulous job and best of luck in the contest! :)

Excellent. I do love the time and work you put into all you poems and stories. You write, here and in others, like a gourmet chef. The food is great, and the presentation excellent. You get my vote for sure.
