Dead

Wind and Rain
Always falling
People running
Never calling

Chilly heat
An even death
"Who is there?"
With his last breath.

He called aloud,
Fear of Pain
Watching Blood
Fall like rain.

Neither quick
nor neither slow,
Death draws near,
In his hand a bow.

"Bow To Death,
You Need Not Fear.
I Shall Bring To You
What You Hold Most Dear."

The man shakes,
The blood almost gone.
His thoughts depleting,
It's nearly done.

But then a light
Showed through the dark
Everbright
But the man made no remark.

Death had already consumed him.

Emily didn't read the rules! *pokes you with a fork*

sorry sorry I have fixed that, honestly

Pretty good, I would say. Death has been written about since the beginning of time, but this put a slightly creepy twist to such an old topic. First thing I noticed was that there is a severe lack of punctuation. Good poetry should be able to be read like a story, meaning that if the poem weren't in stanzas, it would still be coherent. We'll use your first stanza as example:

While this is a good opening stanza, when read in prose, it looks like this:

Wind and Rain always falling people running never calling

There's only one word to describe that: Yuck. It goes like that throughout the whole poem. I would go back through it and read it like a story rather than a poem, so you can easily see where some good punctuation would go.

Neither quick
nor neither slow,

This kind of confused me. I congratulate you for knowing the "Neither/nor" rule (not many people do), but the other "neither" seems superfluous. If you could change it somehow, that'd be great. Honestly, it's okay the way it is, but maybe a little tweaking is needed.

Did Death tie his hand into a knot? Clear up whatever meaning you're trying to convey here.

The man shakes,
The blood almost gone.

Punctuation for the end of the lines should be: comma, comma, semi-colon, period. Again, go through it a few times, and other punctuation problems I've most likely left out can be easily fixed.

I like your ending line.

Overall, a good start. Work on your meter, flow, punctuation, and other things that other people may point out, and you've got it made.
