And now for something... completely different.

A melodic riff;
sound of the azure mollusk,
cowbell fills the air.

I'm sorry, I had to with that title. When else could I enter something like this?

Your innocence shall
Serve as a shield. Here's a rag;
Wipe your bloodied hands.

Embrace his pale hands;
The cold is better than
The alternative.

Does this follow the 5-7-5 pattern?

Yep.

I expect the judge to know why Reaper is relevant....

Nice.

I'm a fan of consonance, but this is a heluva tongue twister.

The Reaper

unescapable,
silently following us,
we can run, cant hide.

Does this follow the 5-7-5 pattern?

Los compañeros agrícolas del segador eterno

Give him your burdens
He's an eternal soul mate
He does our work

Google translate doesn't do a justice. The title translates to "The farming companions of the eternal reaper." Google translate butchers that soooo much.
