This was very musical. The beat and rhyme were great--I read it out loud. :D My cat was very amused but wants to eat instead.
I was going to wish you luck in the contest--thought it was a competition.

This may sound intentionally like the bad dream of a nubile teen. Things have changed and perhaps the age of the mystery man here is actually quite young. It
amazes me whats up these days with them. The rhymes are apt and the story
has a clear line. The ending seems a bit fuzzy.

    Thanks so much for reading. The end was left as sort of a mystery. Appreciate the review.

How rain could influence and motivate, change one's mind to feel about the evils to profession and living; however, mystery resolved, metaphoric effect detected; I liked and enjoyed the read.

Hi frogbook,

I think you do a great job in writing this type of poem. Every once in awhile you should write something sweet to read too. It would be fun
to read what they are like.

Hah! He met his match. Good thing for his next victim, the blonde, very engrossing story poem, the morale being 'no one is invincible!' Loved this, quite entertaining, blessings...

Good take on this.
I saw the other by Jax, and it sounds fun to do. Yes, I can imagine the different scenarios. Good to see your take on it.
Love the ending with rain in eyes because it poses the question...alive or dead...even dying.
Well done.
Have a great day.
RG

This is quite the horror poem. It takes use into the mind of what none of us can understand -- why a demented person wants to kill another human. Well done and well, quite horrifying!

Wow, JoAnn. I did not know you had this talent for the macabre in you. LOL Very well done from start to finish. the meter is a bit off here and there but the basic poetry is solid writing. Bravo! Bob

    Thanks for reading, Bob. I actually like writing the scary ones but have branched out a bit on the site. A good thing, I think. Don't want to scare everyone off-haha. Much appreciate the review. Meter is always my enemy.

I love how simple and sinister it is. It tells a rhythmic story, delightfully entertaining.
Some phrasing felt a little clunky (just a flash in the cab's headlight beam?) and the comma in the 8th line seems like a grammar error ('that' might suffice).
It is practically perfect, simple and sinister, a delightfully dark work of art. Thank you for sharing.
