"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP" Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC. This is a Simply Positive Review. I liked the darkness of this poem as it traversed the gates of death with the soul harvester -- The Reaper." I have a fond memory of a short-lived series, "Dead Like Me," and so was attracted to this poem like a magnet. I'm always curious as to ones thoughts and interpretations about death and the "one" who comes to take them to the other side. Well done rhythm department. Observation: Although repeating a certain word in a poem brings more emphasis and glues together the verses, this one spot I thought could do without the repeat word: "It was a relic stolen from the people of the past, the police of the past" Perhaps combine them using punctuation rather than repeating "past," would be a good choice. TRY: It was a relic stolen some century last -- by people, and police of the past. Just a quick example, I'm sure you could come up with something better. I loved how you incorporated the last verse, by an anonymous writer. Very cool ending! Until next time--write on! Regards, WebWitch My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
