I really love these words and art work.

When we are children sometimes we can be scared

of monsters around us.

Maybe we have dreams of a monster near as a child dreaming.

Maybe you did see a monster?

    Thank you Honeytree for another inspiring review and yes, when I was a child I was very afraid of the thing under my bed. God bless!

Terrific poem about a very real fear for many young children. Where do the ideas of monsters come from? Kids' TV and movies, I'd bet. Don't get me started on the "Evil Queen" or other villain in every story for a CHILD. Can't we get aaway from that nonsense???

    Thank you Phyllis Stewart for this most inspiring review and generous star count. I agree on children stories being a little scary these days. Maybe we should up the stakes and write better children stories ourselves. I would love to make a positive difference in their lives. God bless!

This brought back memories of my fears of the closet during my childhood. My dad finally took off the door and we filled it up with my dresser and some shelves. lol. The rhyme and rhythm work well and the picture is perfect.

Congratulations on your poem being so effective. That means it is convincing, and especially suitable for a little child. I enjoyed it very much and best of luck for the competition.

A very fitting and wise assumption to depict and convey and soothe his greatest fears. Having such a fear could have easily robbed him of his childhood.
I'm sure it was much appreciated by your friend.

Awww! So sweet of you to give this to your co-worker for her son! Of course Jesus will send those monsters packing! I'm 56, and STILL won't dangle a foot over the edge of the bed, for fear of THE THING under the bed! Maybe I'll take your poem with me, ha ha!

This does seem like a good poem to read to a child afraid of the unseen monsters in the closet. I liked that the story is told from a child's point of view. I also liked the letter to Jesus, although the meter in that last line could use a little editing. The theme and style of this poem are excellent.

Very sweet and sincere poem. Love the elementary speech and the lyrical flow. "Mom and Dad say you aren't real" is wonderfully true of parental reassurance against monsters. So, he takes his case to a higher court - Jesus! - who "will send you away." Very original and fun read. Your picture compliments beautifully. I wish you good luck in the contest!
