The Reaping

Tonight it's late Something pure of hate The full of night Here to give us fright In darkness and of murk An evil creature lurks Cornfields Full of crops and yield Here them weep As it's time to reap Devil's allegiance Here to seek vengeance Get sucked here within This is not a sin You'll hear children cry As you pass by You'll hear women moan As you pass this lawn And as you pass this lot He'll cut Your gut Dancing Turning Dancing Turning Just like a newly wed Just like you don't have a head Go home early I've almost cut you nearly There's nothing here That's what you think Cuddled in your fear My scythe will sink When you hear the sound of the crows It's the sign you to go home now.

You have a raw talent very visual in it's lines but if I may say choose your words just a little better and this could be a 7 write.

A ballade full of obscure images of fear and danger, somethimg occurring in dark dreams. Excellent
