Reap for Me

 

 

 

Would you let death wrap its silver coils

around your breath, emptying your soul in

serpentine spools

Your life like festooned yarn, unraveling

before His putrid eyes...

 

Or would you surrender mine instead?

This comes across as a person faced with a dilemma of selling their soul to some kind of devil, or throwing the one close to them into the fire, so to speak.

The image of the "soul emptying in serpentine spools" is very dark, devious and sinful...I love it.

The brevity serves the poem well.

Well done.

Yes you did you are getting to be like Robert frost lolz jk in a good way. Sorry but he is my favorite poet, and no matter how good a person is to me. It's no Robert frost. But you are good you have GREAT potential. FANTASTIC JOB!
