abuseGet rid of the author's note. We don't need that melodromatic stuff here.

As far as the poem goes... I understand what you were trying to do but it really doesn't work. If you're going to have the lines end before ever D word you should have the D words be somewhere syntactically relevant so that the line breaks retain some of their importance.

The subject matter of the poem is kind of dry and the images aren't all that interesting. I have a major suggestion:

Cut the first two thirds of the poem off, start the poem with the line, "Mr. Reaper came, death on his mind" and run with that. It's the one good line in the poem, but it just doesn't make the poem.
