This poem is a continuation of my The Grim Reaper<\/a> post, and it continues the story from her viewpoint. This poem is meant to be read sort of as a nursery rhyme, with a bit of the tune Baba Black Sheep<\/em> mixed with the sing-song ramblings of a curious child.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this poem starts after Death has brought her to the Underworld\u00a0 – since she is a child she began exploring everything she was allowed to. (after she got over her fear of all the fire and brimstone of course.) The poem then goes into her becoming more comfortable in her new life before Zeus and Pesiden hear rumors that Death had taken a living child from the surface world to the underworld and was raising her.<\/p>\n
From there, it goes through her struggles of separation from Death – for this is when he is confined and basically ‘enslaved’ to Hades as punishment.\u00a0 The poem ends just before Death is allowed out of his prison, and he is forced to watch from afar as his ‘little Beth’ takes her last breathe. Then he reaps her soul.\u00a0<\/p>\n
