Grim reaper's feelings

Because we all have feelings right?

Why do people fear me?  

  For it is not I who brings the end of lives. 

 I am only a messenger and the only messenger I am.  

 A taxi to the other sides.

  I did not ask for this job.  

 People say I did but those are lies.

  But I have accepted that I am the one there

  When someone dies.

Author's Note

I just thought.... What would it be like to be death. People come on. I want to know what you thought about it. At least say something

This is a brilliant poem, and it brings up a really good point. A whole nother side to something that we have thought of as bad or evil for our entire lives. This flow worked really well, and I really like how straight-to-the-point it was. The meaning was clear, and you got it across in very few words. Good for you.

Why thank you. I'm honored for the review. *Jedi bow*

[AaliaFOfficial]

Thats a really creative idea! Love it

[Enid Blake]

Yeah, this is cool ;)

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thanks

[Calibaster]

I liked it, a very different perspective. One, I regret to admit, that I would not have thought of. You portrayed it excellently, keep up the good work.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thanks :)

[Forgotten]

Wow, this is pretty awesome. When people think of death they have this image that he is the person who cause death and furthermore enjoys it. It's great how you could picture him as a guy who ended up in a job he didn't even want. Really brought a whole new light onto this subject. Great write man :)

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you. That was my goal and I guess I did it. :D

[Forgotten]

You really did, I could just picture him as this ordinary guy just like everyone else :) You've got talent

[Harley (arbiter)]

Well thanks. I'm really glad you liked it. This poem means a lot to me

[Forgotten]

:) It's always great to be able to see things in a different perspective to others, like for me I'm not above believing death could be a female rather than a guy :P

[Harley (arbiter)]

Maybe. Or could be an animal

[Forgotten]

Ah very true, it's always been said that animals are more in tune with things like that :) I like the way you think sir =D

[Harley (arbiter)]

Yeah. I like your thinking aswell :D

[Forgotten]

Hehe awesome =D

[Zeph]

Fantastic :D
i've often speculated about the Grim Reaper... this is an excellent poem :D

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you

[Sirius King]

lol...great poem!

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you

[Soul Fire]

well done,very thought provoking

[Rob Santana]

hahaha, I no longer fear the reaper didn't know he had feelings. I think this is a really cool write. It leaves the reader thinken, at least that's how it left me. Does the reaper walk around saying "I don't wanna take your spirit but it's my job" haha again cool write.

[David the writer]

It's a good point, BUT it wasn't very well written. No rhyming pattern (I know it doesn't have to have one, but it
s always nice to have one), the flow was meh, and the point wasn't all that well expressed

[Harley (arbiter)]

The rhyming pattern is: a, b, c, b, d, b, e, b. And this was one of the first poems I ever wrote. I'm not gonna change anything on it. I had little to no skill back then but it still means a lot to me. Thanks for the review though

[David the writer]

Oh, sorry I know how you feel about that. I would never change my first poem, and I guess i didn't see the rhyming. But it was still okay for the first time

[Harley (arbiter)]

thanks everybody, for reviews ^_^
