The Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper 
Dead on his feet 
After a hard day 
At work, 
Takes the night off.

"He is still alive today for only one reason.
The Grim Reaper is afraid to get into the car with him."

Premium Member Appointments Can’t Be Canceled

I thought to see the deep blue sea
Before Grim Reaper came for me,
Alas it was not meant to be 
For no amount of barter would set me free
From that appointment with eternity.

Premium Member would that be life without strife

her cheerful sign said live your best life
would that be a life without any strife?
Not necessarily said the negative window peeper
Just try to stay away from the ugly grim reaper

Premium Member Where's 'Papa'

      Father Time, depicted as ‘the Grim Reaper’
      House of Horrors gatekeeper

         Holding a scythe, ready to strike
         Where's ‘Papa,’ who loved me as a tyke?

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

Premium Member dont make the grim reaper angry

greedy grubby grabby grimy grainy grim reaper
was angry with his wife, a wild woman on Thursday
He decided to break some rules and be a window peeker
We must report that many did not escape his wrath that day.

Premium Member The Grave Truth

THE GRAVE TRUTH

It was not undertakers that fell in.
Running through a graveyard - night’s subtle sin.
Brothers in moonlight.
One slipped out of sight.
He’s the first one the grim reaper would win.

Premium Member You've Got More Waiting To Do, Death

Go away, Grim Reaper. You've got more waiting to do, death
I refuse to let you rob me of this fun, beautiful life just yet
I'll continue to smell it's invigorating fragrance

Funny Epitaph

Here lies the body of the grim Reaper 
six foot down perhaps a lot deeper,
he fell for the devils evil little scam
sold his soul, but who gives a damn.

Premium Member Waking To the Grim Reaper

When you wake up, startled,
and see the Grim Reaper
Do you shut your eyes
and pretend you are still asleep?

Would this be enough to make him go away
or take someone else?
If it was a loved one, would you feel glad
or relived?

Premium Member Grim Reaper

Night creature
Forsaken
Slithering
Unperceived
Charging through
Machinelike
Stealth engine
Frozen breath
Smoldering
Steely eyes
Dark life form
Growing near
Fire spitting
Dragon breath
Snuffling prey

Premium Member I Am Scared of Baby Dracula

I am scared of baby Dracula the twelve-year-old said.
What frightens you? I asked him. Staring at his pretty head.
I think it is his teeth, they are pointed, it is weird.
Being a grim reaper, I think it is amazing that this is who he feared.

Premium Member Gold

Gold
is a false value
for no matter how many bars one owns,
no amount of bars can protect
one from nature and the grim reaper
money by itself can't control
the snow and rain
only wisdom and intelligence are the remaining
treasures that will last

Premium Member 5 Card Stud Keeper

Listen to poem:
5 Card Stud keeper
David J Walker

All of my yesterdays have been
Shuffled back into the deck
As I draw from tomorrows cards
To play against today

Can I keep a poker face
Drawing 3 for 5 card stud
Is this hand my keeper 
Playing against the grim reaper

Premium Member Vicious

Death life’s’ adversary
Cruel selfless all about me
Discriminate no bounds
Grim reaper swallows 
Another soul washed away 
A child is born 
Life is carried on 
Love and empathy 
A sad lover’s song
Dark closes in on 
My hapless heart 
An empty end
A fruitless start
