There's something of the anticipation of the moment in this poem, there's the uncertainty of watching the moment coming, the excitement of being caught in its mysterious beat. I liked the pulsing rhythm of this, the stripped down, hammering pulse of the language. estory

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a well-written five line poem. A bit sinister, but what has to be said, has to be said. The poem builds tension ending in the shadowy man... for a brisk staccato beat. All the best for the contest.

An excellent 5 line poem Lea with the shadow man invading your space, your mind with a very eerie beat of your heart. Visions of the past I am thinking with this one. Good luck in the contest Lea.
cheers,
valda

This is an excellent five line poem. It is a little eerie. I don't like these birds hanging around. I'm not superstitious but they give me the creeps. One sat on my Mom four floor window at the hospital all day the day she died.

A dark sense of foreboding in your verse, Lea. Your visual also suggests something quite sinister or exciting awaiting you. You build tension here, reinforced by your final staccato beat. Hoping that this is not a continuation from your last worrying encounter. Take care, Lea and good luck! Debbie

This is one of those stories that builds perception in the reader of it, shadow men usually mean there's a troubled hidden memory of an event that might mean dealing with, beautifully written Lea, good luck, blessings Roy
