Forming a crossroad
Between the living
And the dead

Down this river
To the world of evil
Darkness appears
Ravens flying near

The reaper comes fourth
And take souls from the north
Putting them in pain
Making them go insane

Feasting upon there souls
Making there hearts, turn to coal
This is where the dead roam
And call there place home

Kinda dark for my personal taste but a good poem none the less- I like that you used greek mythology as an insperation-I love mythology-i've tried writing some poems inpired by it but never had much success so awesome job!

sometimes dark poems are dark just for the sake of being dark, but this one is actually good

Very dark, I liked it. You should try and get the tenses of there and their down though, other than that it was great.

&quot;When we were yonger, we used to think dandelions were flowers, it&#039;s not until we grew up that we begun calling them flowers. Dandelions never changed. Our standards did.&quot;

Thanks for posting a reply to my fourm.

"Feasting upon there souls,"

This was my favorite line in your poem.

I love the flow & useage of rhyme scheme.

Great job!
