Comment from Bill Schott
This tetractys, Looking Inward, has the proper formatting and comes to an important distinction between what is foul in the world and what is bad within oneself.

Videl,
This is a cleverly written entry in the Tetractys Contest. Your words speak to the essence of how one perceives themself honestly in truth when looking introspectively within our soul. There is no denying that within us all exists the potential monster we all try to hide. Well done.
All the best,
Eugene

Thank you so much for the 6-star review!! It was an interesting poem for me, as I had to look deeply into myself in order to write it! Hope you have a great weekend!
Best,
Videl
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
This is also very good. I have no sixes left. It is absolutely wonderful. One coherent thought. We feel relief there are no monsters here to challenge us. Then, sadness and depression when we are forced to accept the truth. Deftly done. :-) Karen

I agree! It hard to realize the biggest monster is your own mind sometimes! Thank you very much - Videl

Sounds like a little girl dreaming of monsters and then finally discovering that the monsters in her dreams were created by her own mine. Love the image you put with the poem. It works great! Good Luck

I think I've found my favorite. This is very cleverly written. Strictly fiction, I hope. The subjects have been so varied and some a stretch. Good luck with this contest. I think you might have a winner with this one.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a reality in the past, but I'm happy to say it's fiction now!
Best, unknown
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
An excellent verse here for this strange-sounding contest. You've cleverly picked up the atmosphere in that image and reflected it in your salient message that, so often, those demons are actually within us. Your syllable count is accurate and your post a very worthy contender for this contest. Good luck! Debbie

Thank you so much! It was hard to figure out what to write about in such a short syllable count, but I'm glad you liked it! :)

This was excellent. I know some of the line breaks were in awkward places, but that last line really paid off. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you so much! It was exceedingly hard to figure out the line breaks (like you mentioned) but I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Comment from Brenda Strauser
An interesting picture. It goes well with the words. Sometimes it is hard to look at ourselves and really realize our faults. Maybe if more people did a inner look at themselves. It would be a better world. Great job on this
