A short summary in a poetic version for my book New Reapers: Genesis. Enjoy.
When you feel the cold hand
of death and the end drawing near,the reapers shall come and put an end to your
fear. Created from darkness and from light, to preserve the balance and its
might.Not to kill, nor to slay,but to keep the creatures
of the night at bay.Fight to live and live to
fight,all for the purpose of what
was right.Creatures had turned the
world into hell, while all
attempts to resist immediately fell.Humans served corrupted gods of hate,believing this was their
eternal fate.Until their saviors rained
from the forgotten light,eliminating
the evil from its might. Preserving the balance of evil and good,Never to allow any to
intrude.The reapers fight as an act
of valor,determined never to fall
towards their final hour.Though fighting in the
shadows never taking glory, it’s time to commence the reapers story.
I like this very much.. what we percive as bad is not alwys so.. and even death can sometimes be kind.. I like the way you used the concept of balance between good and evil.. not a new concept to me.. well written.. it held me long enough to want to read it again..
Fascinating. The idea itself is different and I like that. To me at least it shows there is something beyond this world and when we die there is something more. I enjoyed your word choice as it added to printing your picture. And it shows us as humans are not always in control or the good guys. The reapers may seem evil but sometimes it is hard to see in the dark but once our eyes adjust, we just might understand. I mean after all evil spelled backwards is live.
Hmmm... I find the theme quite refreshing and beautifully different from the poems I have read so far. I enjoyed the rhyme scheme and the fluidity of thoughts. Interesting write. :)
Interesting write... I like the idea; true darkness can only be seen when we know what it is like in the light. I think that reapers get a bad rap sometimes, as they are only doing a job; a cog in the machine, so to speak, if you believe in that sort of thing. I think the Greeks had it best in terms of the afterlife...but I'm biased, as I've done a lot of course study in that area. Nicely done.
I love reading poems written for novels, I do this myself as exploratory tools, both as a way to probe the story deeper in thought as well as a practice of writing in a different (non-novel) style. Anyway, well done as an intro to your story!
Thank you. I just felt people got the wrong idea about reapers just being evil. They aren't evil or .. read moreThank you. I just felt people got the wrong idea about reapers just being evil. They aren't evil or good.
I like this, I've written several pieces about "reapers" and find it an interesting thing to write about. There was only one small hic up that I noticed with this piece: "Humans tried so hard to rebel,
But their hopes were immediately quelled." It doesn't rhyme as well as the rest of it, but it is a goo write nonetheless. Keep it up and I hope to see more work.
