A clear reminder that we don't live forever. I guess I'll take your advise and slow down as well. lol There is so much yet to do, to see, to publish. I like the flow of your poem and your word choices.

Comment from bard owl
Nothing stops cold a case of the "hurries" so quickly and with such finality as death. Your poem is a wakeup call to those whose life is so hurried. Stop and smell the roses, for it is death's lot to come for us. Excellently thoughtful. Blessings, Linda

Side note first: Your author's note made me laugh out loud! Great (and appropriate) comment!
I must say: Such a short poem carried quite a message, and the artwork was absolutely perfect for your piece.
I think I'll take it easy myself, today!
Great job....

Comment from Kashif Ali Abbas
This poem talks about obscurity of things we don't know, tone is dark and serious, words are awesome and the supernatural style is very cleverly chosen.
The ageless apparition waits
and with his scythe he smiles.
'Tis just his lot [ What a grand poetic style and lines]
Loved it all the way

Comment from Sharesy
This lovely creepy poem could be interpreted in so many ways.
to reap from us
the ones with endless hurry : From this, I can see the reaper collecting the lives of speeders who die in traffic accidents, or 'type A' personalities that race so fast through life that they die of stress related diseases.
This was well written, Victor. I liked it very much. The verse tied in nicely with the cover art.

Comment from CALLAHANMR
Hi Victor:}
wow! you certainly nailed one reason for early reaping. Unfortunately at my age it is already too late to slow down. Any slower and I won't need reaping. Lol.
Someone else already reaped all my extra stars.
Great visual imagery. Very clever words.Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Soulester
I guess I'm pretty safe then, if he's after those in constant hurry. LOL The Reaper's grim smile is not one I am in a hurry to see. Your poem makes a good point about slowing down in life, Victor. I enjoyed this posting. Mary

The art work is very telling and the words describing this reaper are really very good.
I liked the creative way how these words were written.

A five star write which is clear-cut and to the point, Victor... I think I should slow down a little, too. Many thanks for this smile I am wearing. Pat.

Where's the rest of it? "to reap from us the ones with endless hurry." That settles into my bones. "A dreary cloak (no comma)...." My doctors plunk commas in the strangest places too.
Keep writing!
