The River Styx
January 23, 2010
Forming a crossroad
Between the living
And the dead
Down this river
To the world of evil
Darkness appears
Ravens flying near
The reaper comes fourth
And take souls from the north
Putting them in pain
Making them go insane
Feasting upon there souls
Making there hearts, turn to coal
This is where the dead roam
And call there place home

Kinda dark for my personal taste but a good poem none the less- I like that you used greek mythology as an insperation-I love mythology-i've tried writing some poems inpired by it but never had much success so awesome job!

sometimes dark poems are dark just for the sake of being dark, but this one is actually good
