This moster is the devil. He makes monters out of those that can't fight him. This poem tells us faith always fights the monster.
Good luck in the contest,
Keep writing

You have vividly described the characteristics of a monster. Monsters exist in numerous forms. You have also provided the answer--salvation through the Lord. Very well done

This is an excellent contest entry and I wish you luck.
The poem has fantastic rhyme and meter which makes for a very smooth read. I enjoy reading poetry that just sings along. Even if it is drescribing a monster so eloquantly.
Well done

I believe everything you have written is true except that all the monsters in my life have been women, jealous of me, competing with me, trying to squelch who I AM. No matter where they are, God's with me. Well written.

... enticing and pulsing with a word use which could be elaborated to give a fuller sense of the monster waiting to devour divulge digest and dissect the human spirit of love to weak in the images though it draws on the idea to a degree it could be fuller and painted thicker to give a more darker sense of lurking and foreboding. It works in the simplicity it has chosen and agrees with the conclusion in a resolute and formidable fashion.

Awesome imagery of a monster! Monsters are definitely all that you note! I like also how you divided the poem between what a monster is and hope of protection from monsters!

Enjoyed reading very much! xoxo

Many people turn to the church not knowing there are sometimes monsters inside. The worst of the is pedophile priests. Snatching young souls who look to them for guidance.

Well said But a woman could be just as much for a monster.
I know from personal experience but Men still trump the opposite sex. The Words were wonderful especially the last two lines
