Oh my Mystery Poet,
You've really nailed it. Teens are apt, maybe even driven, to do just that. Sometimes, they even join that dark side and become wild things of their own. Your poem is clean and clear. In a few short words, you made your point!

Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

I love how your poem captures the curiosity and spirit of youth! The line "peek at the dark side" is perfect. It shares a sense of adventure. The balance between innocence and the thrill of the unknown is so well done. Great job!

I loved the "where the wild things are" picture you included in this poem. The poem itself was great, as well. I liked that bit about "peeking at the dark side." Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. This poem takes an accurate look at the teenage years. The bad part isn't the peeking...it's when they go over into the dark side to check things out. Scary times. thanks for sharing.
