Hi Linda,
Guess I'd be reiterating an echoing sentiment of how the thought of having to assume that every stranger(someone not known to an individual) has a fear alert attached to their person.
But, for sure to be cautious and alert to the possibility of 'stranger danger'... yes, this is what this poem conveyed... Mom is right... if it doesn't feel right... run!
Great little entry into the 1-7-1 writing prompt contest... all the very best wishes in it sweet Lady.
With our thoughts we create,
suspicious intentions.
James vx's.

It is such a shame that we can't talk to strangers now. I do , in the grocery store and other places. Yet , if my child is approached I want them to do exactly what you say in your poem.

Great message. Good entry into the contest. You've covered the contest requirements well with a social warning for children. I think you did a good job on this entry and hopefully people will heed the warning.

Comment from mvbrooks
Interesting storyline for such a short poem. Effective in conveying a common message and in conveying the fear that goes with that message.
A thought--if you are using quotations, didn't the mom also say both "runs"? Perhaps it should be:
"Run,"
Mom said, "stranger talks to you,
Run."

Your poem is excellent. It would good if it were made into a poster and posted around the nation. It is good advertising in a succinct way that maybe children could read and obey. Well done.

Comment from Muffins
Powerful message. The first word to teach a child in this not so friendly world among strangers. Emphasizing the word twice help give the photo an extra dose of the horrors that might be.
Good luck with the contest.

It is a terrible thing that children have to taught to distrust strangers, especially those bearing candy striped lollipops in their hip pockets. Unfortunately it has become necessary bso to do, and that is a sad reflection on today's society.

Comment from Nan Beeson
Your 1-7-1 writing prompt entry really got to me.
RUN
Mom said, "stranger talks to you."
RUN
I wish my Mom had said that to me and I wouldn't avde been molested as a child. But in those days when I was a child, it was safe for them to play outside. We were taught to obey our elders and that I did much to my sorrow.
Great contest entry as well as great poster for young children to read and heed. Good luck in the contest......Nan:))
