Comment from Jesse James Doty
Excellent poem and message, of future horror. The artwork is gentle and does not reveal what the poem is about. I like that strategy. The title; the line above it, on the other hand, alludes to what is coming next. Very effective use of words and images. I especially like your notes afterward. You ask a very pertinent question, "are we the Monsters?" everyone needs to decide this for themselves, I believe. I think it is a horrific tragedy that we are losing wildlife and wilderness areas, so much so, that there might be nothing left for the next generation and the generations to follow. You suggest to us, "Let's preserve their future." This is or should be our rallying cry. Well done and thought-provoking for us all. Thank you.
Take care, Jesse

You're very welcome. It was a creative "Horror" view of the possible future. I also hope we leave behind something for them to be proud of. No worries about the late reply.

I like that you challenge us with the provocative question about who are the "monsters" that are robbing the children of the vision of their future. Certainly, we are responsible for our influence on them and the world and then there are greedy companies, too. Great job with this and best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Gail Denham
And where do these monsters come from - many from the movies they watch, the things they view on their tablets and in the games they play. Rather it would be good if they were o ut in the world, playing baseball, running, riding bikes, etc.
good poem

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Kahpot. Before I read your author's notes, I tried to decide what the monsters were. I certainly have my own interpretation of what monsters might be, but you allowed the reader to decide. It's almost like a Rorschach test for the reader. Very well written. Good luck in the contest. Robert

Comment from Janetsue
This is such a powerful poem. It's horrible thinking of what some children are put through by monsters of the human kind. (I still think of the little girl names Amber for which the Amber Alert is named after. She beat on the window of the house where she was taken and people at the bus stop saw her but didn't think anything was wrong. It is so sad to think of what that little girl went through.) I'm glad you posted this poignant poem, my friend.

Hello kahpot, in 13 words you describe very real feelings that children have regarding the "monsters" around them. Good descriptive writing.
A thought-provoking poem. Well-chosen artwork choice. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all thirteen words to express concern for children. They face a hard world--harsh, chaotic, overrun with every conceivable form of evil.

I think this is a good entry for the 13 Word Horror Poetry contest.
Your story is clear in only 13 words, not easy to do.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.
