Grim Reaper Poem by Anand Dixit

Grim Reaper

Rating: 4.5


My name is death
I am the reaper
Spectre of Death

I wear a black gown
I carry a large scythe
And I don’t frown

I am shadow under the hood
I am a funerary art
I take you for good

I have different names
Yama, Thanatos, Emma
Oh! I have lot of surnames

I am the reaper grim
I take you on a whim
I am the only him

I take your soul
Leave a hole
I like it foul

Very strong. Whim and the 'the only him' are terrible to me, a female. What a disturbing realization- that soul and foul are a sight rhyme. I guess this means that you are masterful, but it paralyzes me (momentarily) .
