This is lovely and dark. Great choice of picture art, fits perfectly with your words. I was wondering if in your last line, it might read better if you wrote "in" instead of "with".

Just a suggestion.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm not afraid of Death my friend, I will welcome him with a wink, take my boarding pass, slap him on the back and say, "Where the hell you been, buddy? I've been in an endless hurry forever!"
And yea, we'll both be smilin'.

    Curt, I'm convinced that death holds no fear for U. But what a price to pay to get there.

I agree with you, it's time to slow down. I will do this and try to enjoy everything around me. Quite the image these few lines formed. Very well done. I found each sentence spoke volumes.

I don't want to be in a hurry either. I'd rather take my time and avoid that reaper if at all possible. I loved this. Well done.

    Thank U. It's probably refreshing to read a shorter one once in a while, no?

Very good. I like that you call us humans "the ones with endless hurry" because that is so true. We are always all in such a rush to do what we need to do before we die. I also like that you say that the reaper is just doing his job.

G'day, Victor Touche

Good job!

Ok, very rarely do I make an attempt to guess what was on an authors mind when he wrote a piece, or to tell him what was on my mind when I read it. *Shrugs* Poetry is subjective. I'm breaking my own rules here. I "saw" the reaper standing smiling at the scene of a car crash here. One caused by speeding. LOL, none of this matters of course, just my way of saying you did a good job of presenting a platform for imaginary leaps. Thank you!

    I'll take that as a nice compliment. Which I know U meant it as. (aren't those two lines like a double negative?)

The cloaked reaper in the picture you chose was so synergistic with your words. I admired your use of alliteration and verb "reap" as well.
