I wanted to give you a heads-up. Your poem has six stanzas, but the rules require more than six stanzas. You probably still have time to fix that.
The Rules: Write a poem of more than six stanzas, rhyming or free verse, about an Urban Legend Horror, such as Bloody Mary or the Hitchhiker. Many Urban legends are available to give you ideas on line. Or maybe you know one that has always scared you. Maybe it could even be true....

Comment from JennaG
I always enjoy a good urban legend and this one is no exception. It contains all that wonderful intrigue, creepiness, and mystery. It leaves us wondering what really happened to the old man with the twitch. The setting on the lake is so spooky with the fog rolling in. I really enjoyed this piece! It's very well written and was a fun read. Well done! :)

Mimi, I am going to have to give you a six on this. I have read other poems in this contest which I felt did not meet the requirements of Urban Legends. Not only did you nail it with your narrative tale of the Culler Lake Monster, but you did so with craft, skill, and creativity. I held my breath when reading. It was so hypnotic and haunting:
He was covered in seaweed; strange sounds he did make
As he cast out a line from his boat on the lake
When in only a moment it jerked with a snatch
And a fight then ensued between him and his catch
The rhyme and rhythm sounded like "T'was the Night Before Christmas." Poem contains a musical quality and a scary one like a ghost story. You had me scared and delighted.
Thank you for sharing your poem. You have written the best poem I have read so for for this contest. I wish you much success.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the legend of old Culler lake. When someone suddenly disappears without a trace, the first thought on our mind is that the legend may be true and the monster of the lake took the disappeared.

This is an excellent poem that flows beautifully, tells the story of a legend (whether real or not doesn't matter). Great rhyming from start to finish. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Comment from bob cullen
This is so good. I loved the rhyme and I was greatly intrigued as to why one verse contained six lines rater than four. Surprisingly, it made no difference to the flow, it rolled beautifully like a gentle country stream.
Loved the line: 'With a silver greay beard and a twitch in his hand.' It creates such a vivid image.
