Best Grim Reaper Poems

As All Hallows’ Eve approacheth my thoughts turneth to darkest dread,
Whilst in old age I harboureth a deep fear of seeing this one’s grim head;
Methinks the Grim Reaper cometh this time with his scythe in hand,
Which striketh maximum fear in me and maketh him feel quite so grand. 

Death and darkness doth pervade this spirit’s...

I see you
I am no fool
Like ravens over prey
You are keeping your eye on me
I see
With my one good eye
Your hunger
Salivating lips
My heart may stop beating
My arm feeling the pain of your grip
I laugh at you
You forgot to keep the musical score
As I wrote my notes for the masses to pursue
Ah you let go once...

Unwanted visitor knocks at the door
Unwilling my feet that pace the floor
Wanting but not finding the patience of the brave
Peeking around surroundings for what would save
A ghost is still living in a haunted house
The heart slowly answers the would be shout
My after life still fears the nearing calls
Afraid of the souls quite possible fall
Why should...

Who are you  ~  I ask?
The grim reaper am I, came the reply. 
I say  ~  I'm not dying or dead.  
So you say,   came the reply. 

So why have you come this way? 
I am surely not done with my life.
Though I did not hear a reply....

In the magic kingdom Disney's pen he did draw
A slightly dozy tiger and a bear named winnie the poo
The Lion king and Simba who brought joy to all who saw .
Dumbo and his big ears amazed the world and flew.
and king Louie in the jungle, who wants to be like you.
and a kung fu fighting...

Cloaked in midnight gusts, 
The wind scythes the grove of trees;

Holding onto his scythe
The massive scythe of death
The reaper looks for your soul

There is a small empty lantern
That houses dead souls inside
Swinging on the scythe of death

Death, with his rags for clothes
Just hiding the bones beneath
Power is under that dark hood

Standing tall and quite formattable
Wind whipping the fragments
Of his enormous tattered cloak

He’s just waiting till...

My wife passed away today , my sadness knows no bounds
Then a few months later the grim reaper called for me. 

The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name
I told him yours and then merrily went on my way. 

The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name

THE GRIM REAPER
             by
    JOHN M. ARRIBAS 



I’m the grim reaper and I’m here to say
We have an appointment to meet one day
It might be early, could be late in the day
My net is out and you can’t get away					
I’ve...

He arises from the underworld cloaked in black,
 Having two lifeless eyes peering at your unsuspecting back.
 Scythe gleaming from the reflection of the moon,
 The Grim Reaper is coming to claim your life very soon.

You go about your days thinking they will not come to an end,
 But the will of death no man...

He walks through the cold and dreary, darkened night 
  carrying his curved, silver, bloody sickle in his evil, crooked hand 
Beware all who wander about
   this reaper will be your biggest foe, your biggest fright 


He loves to hear you scream
  You'll hear the sizzle of your flesh
peeling your hide,...
