There is a serious connotation in this poem as children become victims of adult terror thus leaving them with wounds and scars for life, a poignant post, love Dolly x

I think this was a great tanka for the writing prompt. It looks like you got the syllable count right, and you included the required word. This was a most creative take on the prompt as your vampires were not literal. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

What a good pivot line with the connection fitting well with the previous a succeeding lines, yes kids are kids and can they be truly manipulated that way, beautifully written my friend, well done, blessings Roy

This is a thought-provoking piece. It was clever how you could weave the topics of children and vampires into one poem. The line that impacted me the most was 'Gorge on childhood innocence.' It reminds me of how children cannot always defend themselves.

This is powerful. You've written something so deep in just a few lines. Your word choices are wonderful. I especially liked the phrase "emotional vampires" - amazing. Beautifully haunting work!
