Very good post, it is fluid even with the imposed ending words. The subject matter is serious and the poem constructed in a powerful read. Molestation, ripping innocent lives are more common than people think. I like your line: More danger in silence, than words that might scare.
Great job!!

Creative way of using the required words. This made me think of a warning that is handed out by a witch in a play to the main character. Best of luck in the contest.

As I've said many times, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But as a lover of words, dark secrets, and crimson feelings splattered on a page, you've grabbed my undivided attention yet again.
Thanks for sharing.

This poem, Beware, is different in that the end words have been unilaterally established and bend the theme to the dark side. I think you have used them well here to capitalize on these conditions. The theme of the predator "Preying on the credence of (the) naive..." comes through.

The author's words are concerning, descriptive and creative. I like the
title of this poem and I feel especially today we must Be Aware of the Wolf
in Disguise as the author states above the title. I like how this author bolded the words that were important to notice. The poem gives good
advice. The artwork goes well with these words. Great Poem!

Most exceptional delivery of the threat that breaths down one's neck.
The subtle imagery of the wolf eyeing the sleeping, sweating innocent woman brings a darker image to the construct of the poem.
Very well done
All the best, Yard.

I'm always impressed when someone has the skill to follow this kind of brief. It can't be easy but this verse has certainly achieved success with its portrayal of the wolf in disguise. Quite a haunting message warning the reader of the dangers of naivety, silence and lack of curiosity. I'm not sure about the last line making a lot of sense to me and feel that this is the only place where the rhyming became a little forced. But good job and good luck! Debbie

Whoa! I'm getting some nice readings tonite. This must've been a hard write! What a nice job you've done with it. It didn't say all at the end but they do rhyme & all. Wow...I like this.
