This is an unusual contest and it's nice to see new challenges and ideas come to the forefront. Working around predetermined end rhymes will (I'm hoping) present us all with many varied themes and "takes" on how to approach this. You've created a mood and held this reader's interest. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this borrowed rhyme contest entry with us. I have no clue what borrowed rhyme is. I know what rhyme is and rhyming and near rhyming scheme is very good. It's the borrowed part that had me confused. But I did enjoy reading and good luck with the contest.

    Thank you, Barbara! The "borrowed rhyme" is the last word of each line. The contest rules were to write an 8 line rhyming poem in which the rhyming words are given to you. Then end each line in their specific order. I'm sure you are not alone, it's confusing- I appreciate your comment I will add the rules to the author notes! Thank you so much!

Has an air of scariness as it communicates some lurking evil in deceptive people looking for prey amongst those who are more na�¯ve. The painting goes nicely with the words too because it portrays a young girl who seems to be almost sleeping.

Yes. I like the rhyming scheme has been decided for you to start with. I had to look at the word "feign" though. You wrote a good poem that utilizes these words. It's not a easy task.

Well done.

This is a wonderful piece of poetry with a very nice flow. It also serves as a strong warning to be careful of people at face value. That selection of art work is brilliant! It is so creepy looking and works well with your poem.

Excellent poem entry for the Borrowed Rhyme contest.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.
