The Reaper is at my door;
asking for a dance.
The room chills and I smile;
taking life away at a moment’s glance.
We twirl, we step, we glide,
In a never ending game of chance.
As the season turns cold, He tightens His hold.
He cackles into the night, enjoying the perilous flight.
His urges, His whispers, His laughter
are feared.
For He whisper lies
in your ears.
The seasons turn warm and they are lightened.
His urges are gone, his whispers are wind.
For now at least.

wow I especially love this piece you wrote its so mysterious and magnificent wonderful job as usual I think my favorite part of it is We tirl, we step, we glide, in a never ending game of chance. it's a wonderful way to put it and I also love this line The Reaper is at my door;
asking for a dance.
The room chills and I smile;
taking life away at a moment’s glance.
so great job I'm going to go read more of your work keep up the great work
I really liked the message of this poem, and I liked how you used figurative language to describe depression. The one thing I will comment on is how it is organized. There is no set number of lines in each stanza and that distracts me from the overall message. It is a bit choppy, so you could try to add more lines or combine a few stanzas. Just my thoughts.
Hey! Welcome to YWS! I hope you're settling in nicely, and good work on doing some reviews already! I'm going to review your poem

This line reads really well.

"The room chills and I smile;
taking life away at a moment’s glance."
That last line is far too long. It feels rather awkward. The other three lines have 7 syllables, 5 syllables and 6 syllables; similar amounts. The last line needs about 6 syllables too. Instead it's got 10! Find some way to make it shorter
"We tirl, we step, we glide, in a never ending game of chance."
Nice line here. A slight typo of 'tirl', you probably mean twirl
"s the season turns cold, He tightens His hold.
He cackles into the night, enjoying the perilous flight.
His urges, his whispers are everything to fear,
for they hold nothing but indistinguishable lies."
With the rhyme scheme you have in this poem, flight and lies really ought to rhyme. I really like the first and third lines in this stanza. The second line feels a bit forced and possibly a little long and in the fourth line, indistinguishable feels a little long. Inaudible would be a slightly shorter alternative with a similarish meaning and sound...
The seasons turn warm and they are lightened.
His urges are gone, his whispers are wind.
I like this. A bit of warmth and nice stuff at the end of a kind of dark poem.
"For now at least."
Oooh, I like this ending even more. It is extremely ominous!
In conclusion, a pretty nice piece. I thought it was about the Grim Reaper trying to persuade someone to commit suicide, not a playboy like the other reviewer said? It's got some nice imagery in and the only problem is that some of the line lengths are a little off.
HOpe I've helped! Ask me if you ever want another review
This is really great!
HELPS MEALOT!
Can you review my other poem ? Thanks!
well this was a great poem and I enjoyed it and also it had a meaning, + loved your idea of describing a playboy

but heres the problem it was a little less descriptive and couldn't actually get into the poem..otherwise your poem was real good
so keep on writing and hope to see more works from your side
umaima
do you have any examples of how I could add description? Thanks!!
Well uhmm this wasn't supposed to be about a playboy reference...
yeah, you should imagine the person you are writing about...Write his features down, how he looks, how he dresses, his eyes or lips or anything that snaps attention...And I thought it was, sorry my bad...
