Dawn of the Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper strolls in Stands looking down at her face She opens an eye Then sits up in bed, scowling Grim Reaper slinks off next door Sunrise Jack Horne For my friend Janie

oooh, kind of eerie. Even the grim reaper does not want a grouch. haha. Or maybe just someone who refuses to be taken by surprise or to go without a fight! I liked it!!

Really like the way she scowls at the Grim Reaper and he "slinks" away. Very cool poem, Jack. If it is for the Sunrise contest, you have quite a creative and unique entry. Hope to see your poem in the winners' circle. Love, Carolyn
