Excellent

This is a nicely worded and illustrated short piece. Descriptive. Meaning is enhanced by the image. However, meaning would not be lost even without it. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

I like the eerie poem and its rhythm and dark images. You should fare well in the contest. Read your profile; I think it's so wonderful that you are surrounded by all those animals.

This tells an act, as the darkness descends that an assassin in silence contemplating the moment to strike; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Keep Writing, Inspiring, Changing

Excellent five-line entry. The picture you chose for your poem is very effective, it is very eerie and looks like it is going to jump out at you.
Your entry should do very well, good luck.
