Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)

Excellent

This is a good entry for the Poetry With a Twist writing prompt. Effectively, the poem begins in a style that resembles the description of Gotham City, and this is reinforced by the illustration. So the least we expect is a reduction to a mouse as prey.

Love the whole grasp of this poem, loving your structuring of this read, capturing me within its full disclosure being stated at the end. Surprising loop for the mind creatively expressed in this read.

This poem had me sitting on edge. It is cleverly crafted. I had a cat that would toss a half eaten mouse on to me at 3am. It disrupted my pleasant dreams. I did understand that she was lovingly bringing me a share of her delicious meal. It put me off wanting my breakfast, however.
May I suggest that you *change "can not" to cannot;
*edit your poem with a view to improving punctuation
This will please the readers
All the best you

This is very cleverly written, and I like your twist at the end, which you gave no clues about! Everything flows smoothly and well. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Omg! What a plot twist at the end! I thought for sure this was about a killer or a vampire. What a shock at the end. Bravo! For this I award six stars!

With the title and early description it sounds like maybe a human stalker. But as you read you can understand that it is a cat with a mouse. Well written poem.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

This poem, with the accompanying image and title, leads the reader down a dark and scary path, until suddenly... the twist.

A clever piece for the Poetry with a Twist contest.

Well done.

This piece is excellent in every respect--a narrative poem with vivid, specific details, skillfully-written, creative, leading us in suspense right up to that--cat and mouse! :-)
