Comment from Kenneth Schaal
Chilling thought(s), and expressly well written with excellent care given to rhyme and meter. Language is of the most horrific type, and dramatic/suspenseful. Best of luck in the contest. Kenny

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Ryme. Yeah, I wanted to get the 'horror' part across without stepping over the line of gore and all that. I think this pic I found works out perfectly, lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars, R. I'm glad it gave you a chill. Thank you again.
Comment from GWHARGIS
I would love to give you a six. This poem scared the CRAP out of me. Both as someone who used to think the bogey man was right outside my window. And as a parent as I think of the torment they will go through when they discover their children's beds empty. This was just dark enough to scare and yet there was no gore or violence, just the suggestion. Sometimes that is enough. Great job. I would say good luck, but I don't think you will have any problem.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and big six offer, GWH. I'm glad you noticed the work that went into it.

Thank you again.
