This is not poetry in my book. But of course it is not MY book. "LOL"

Poetry stirs the emotions, awakens the senses and touches the soul.

It is a short flash fiction story in a colorful rendition of fancy digital work.
When you say that you first "see" the poem before you read it, that says alot about you as a writer.
Imagery is creating a picture without PICTURES.
You create it with the content of your poem, not the colors you choose for your font.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I'm sorry, I just don't relate to your style at all.

Good luck~

Wonderful imagery as you rise up to the challenge and delve into the dark rotting shadows to encounter the grim reaper. I almost feel it's halloween instead of summer. 'Clad in a black robe with black roses falling all around' is an especially clear dark image. I'll bet you're really good at ghosty stories. Excellent job. Enjoyed the read. Cheers. ;-)

Hi Shelley,

How wonderful that the grim reaper does not seem to scare you. You have obviously found your spirituality! Excellent rhythm and flow and yes, those nouns have come into play perfectly.

"clad in a black robe
with black roses falling all around " - is just wonderful.

You met the challenge!! Wonderful. A little morbid for summer, but death is around us no matter what the season. I actually liked the poem. You did it with a lot of class!

Adjustments/Weaknesses - none that I could see.

excellent writting this is told superbly and interestingly and i just loved it, but didn't like this

of cold sad tears
and happy joyous tears

the sad tears and then the joyous tears maybe you could use fear in the place of one of those it would read more better i think, yup, still good though.

ANother great poem, Shelley. A little darker than I'm used to from you, but a nice change. The flow and all is great. I don't see anything to change!

I was still enjoying the walk around the little cottage and now you've got the Reaper chasing me through the woods. Talk about fickle...lol. Nice write.
