Comment from Dorothy Farrell

Excellent

This is very good. Worth a 6 but I have none. Perfect count and it flowed beautifully and made sense, not at all contrived to fit the requirements. Great picture. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

Excellent money and use if the firm, all the divergent paths of brats and bullies shedding their skin tapering down to the path you choose- Destiny in God's hands.

Very interesting work forming the nonet into a 'v' shape is very impressive effect. Brats and bullies - good alliteration, a short poem with resonance. John

It's too bad more of us don't come into the world with a little more wisdom so that we don't cause so much destruction in our younger years. Great job with this one.

Comment from Janice Canerdy

Excellent

This well-written, thought-provoking poem effectively states a truth: Those bullies--many of them--do change!
They should be viewed as who they are NOW. Line 2 is GREAT.
