Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Your poem is an important message. What intrigues me are the words and rhythms that remind me of Shakespeare's "Song of the Witches."
"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble..." So many great images: patrons at a masquerade ball, Groupthink, feckless minds,...
Your final line should be posted everywhere: Be sure all is real.
What frustrates me is I have a hard time pointing people to resources to verify that all is real.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvette.
This is an interesting entry. That's kind of a cool word for an acrostic poem. There are lots of things you could put in there.
Using the crows in the picture adds to the ambience (I hate that word) of the poem.
Good luck in the contest

Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, SKULLDUGGERY, follows the vertical lettering for the theme and sort of cracks open the impending season for chilling and thrilling that may actually take some of the real horrors off our minds for a second.

Comment from Justin Chopin
This was a very inventive acrostic. When I read your piece I made me think about George Orwell's novel " 1984" since you spoke about group thinking and how deceptive and nefarious the political world can be. I thought the last lines you had about questioning all of the craziness of this wild world were very sage pieces of advice. Well done.

Comment from Patty Palmer
A well written poem about making sure what you are doing is for real and not chasing after rainbows. I actually had to look up the word skulldrudgrey to find out what it means. I wonder if others who don't know the meaning of the word as well. Maybe you could add the definition of the word in your author's notes. Just my opinion. Otherwise an enjoyable poem.

Your poem is so skillfully composed and alive with powerful descriptions of those that deceive with underhanded, clever, wicked cons and seductive lies. Excellent blend of literal and figurative language

This is a very wise warning in today's world of skullduggery - all kinds of deception and underhanded things are going on through the media. We need to take the extra steps to see if what is said is real. Best wishes in the contest!
