This a very dark poem from you; however, it does demonstrate your ability to write on any subject and create a beautifully detailed, fascinating, and creative poem.
Best wishes,
Mary

Have a wonderful week, Gypsy.

Comment from Bill Schott
This gogyohka, The Grim's Danse Macabre, presented with the proper formatting, captures the eerie sight of a postmortem affair between the fading specters of living and the waiting receptional.

Comment from royowen
A very dark one indeed Gypsy, but still beautifully composed with a great attention to detail in this fine poetic tanka. You've crated it with language befitting this theme and genre, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from lyenochka
Interesting and scary stuff! Thanks for explaining what a "Grim" was. I thought of the "Grim reaper" and the Grimm Brothers. I liked your internal rhyme of "grief" and "disbelief" even though I know it wasn't intended.

I like to write about different forms and themes to keep it interesting. This one is dark. I read it to my daughter ... she gave me a look LoL she thought it was dark too. I thought of the Grim Reaper, one of my favorite dark characters, but didn't want to use both names so I checked for the Grim and the dog scary creature came up. Dean used to sign his reviews for me with a cute little Grim Reaper LoL it was adorable.
Thank you very much, Big Sister. I always appreciate your reviews and kind words. Have a wonderful day. Love you.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy, and I heard a rumor that the Republicans are pushing to bring it back and want to make it mandatory and making everyone go to church on Sunday with an AR-15 strapped on!

Dancing with death.
Skeleton and corpses.
My cup of tea.
Dancing on a high wire above the pit to Hell?
One miss step?
....
Interesting traditions centering around the thought of Death.
But are we truly only 6 feet above?
Above where our remains, remain?
Life's too short to worry about silly things.
Dance the high wire and get drunk too!
Well posted always nice to learn.

Thank you very much, Doctor Ricky. I love horror movies and books. I used to write horror all the time with a FS poet called Dean Kuch. He was the king of horror. He died a couple of years ago. We published a book of horror haiku, and were working on the second one before he died.

Thank you for sharing with me what The Grim is. I've never heard that term before. You just educated me with this poem. You present a package worthy of this poem. I enjoyed reading.
