Excellent contest entry and a nice subtle humor encased in your short poem. The art work fits your poem to a T. Good luck in the contest. Good conection to the 5 words, 7 words, very clever. Don and Vicki

This is a very well written 5-7-5 poem. In a few well placed words the writer touches a heavy and very known subject. Well done. Best wishes.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is not only well written it also speaks truth.
A well thought out poem, and every word matters.
The first two lines flow and roll together really well. Each syllable moving smoothly to the next.
The third is a little bit more staccato, which gives quite a disjointed feeling against the other two. It really helps support the message and the truth that you speak. As a reader I think it makes you realise the damage that five or seven words can do. What is easily said in the first two lines, leaves a lasting impression on the child. The harshness of the reality really comes through in those last three words, as it is said so bluntly.

A great poem that means more than the actual words, the meaning is clear and it is structured well. One of the best I have read on here for a while.

Sorry this is a bit of a waffly review - hope it makes sense.

I liked the way you have matched the five and seven to their respective lines, although I am still puzzling over whether the specific numbers mentioned are a strength or a weakness..

Good luck in the contest.

I seldom review 5-7-5 entries, but I like this one because it has so much truth in it. An excellent entry for the contest. Good luck in it.

Correction, words are weapons, very sharp and dangerous weapons if used wrongly. They can't be retracted and can be the fine line between making and breaking a youngster. Your contest entry is strong in message and I wish you the best of luck. Well penned. luv jada
