Maybe I should just eat marshmellows

my son has spelled out in
colored magnets
a "threatening message"
to a nice girl in his class

I'll answer when the
therapist calls
as soon as I am able
to walk again
after stumbling with the
cramps of unbelievability

    very unique take on this. Very very creative you are with your pen. the title... totally had me expecting something else. GReat use of metaphor, and a touch of the undesired truth of life.

    At the close of this contest, there will be a link to a group. It is required to join to continue. I really look forward to reading more of you.

    Sincerely,
    Mel

    Wow, you created such a strong message in such few words. This seems to be a big issue today in society for overcoming...the violence, the way we don't know how to handle it. I think you did a great job with letting us feel the emotion in the write through penning a scenerio. You "Showed" and didn't "Tell". Witch is something judges will appreciate. Good luck in this contest.

    Cool entry ~

    Welcome to the Poetic Challenge contest ~

     

    :)

     

    A lot was said in so few words....and I do enjoy getting right to the point ~

     

    ..however, in some *quick writes, I tend to lose myself to your first thoughts, as I am already partaking of your last thoughts...but maybe that has something to do with how quickly my brain is getting your fast message ~

     

    I always enjoy a Poet who can write in this quick format....it shows me there are other Poets like myself who do not have time for *filler words*, which ultimately have in Impact in a write at all.....and Power is lacking in long writes, because the Poet wants to throw a bunch of metaphores in there.....but you on the other hand, got to it, stayed focused, and let the power wrap around us before we knew what to do :) ...nice job ~

     

    Title is great....Tone is realistic.....message and theme are strong, as well as this write for a Trophy....but we'll see!

     

    For me...one of the top 4 reads for sure :)

     

    Good luck to you and your talent,

     

    Bear ~
