This is a great entry for the contest! Very creative and enjoyable to read. You have good alliteration here with 'h' and 'c'. Love your use of 'clothed mind.' Great presentation with the perfect picture choice and great title, too! Best wishes in the contest!

This has interesting metaphors within it. Someone the words seem cloaked with hidden meanings. The clothed mind could be a closed mind. I think I've caught many of your innuendos. I love word play, especially when it is so powerful. This is excellent. I have to give you A+ I meant to give you 6 points but now it won't let me....bwaaaa

    Thank you for your virtual 6. You have picked up on the wordplay and double meaning - with not many words to play with I had to get as much in as possible!

This seems to be a punny metaphor for hiding your problems for others.
It might be good to have some of them bared to take some strees away
Good luck in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy.

    Thanks for reviewing. My closet door needs to keep closed - there are too many embarrassing items in there!

    Don't mention it. We all have embarrassing moments.

I really loved this, especially the last line. I think that did really well. I imagined someone with a lisp saying it. You have done well, and I can see why this is well received right now.

Clever poem for your prompt.
Your use of the closet for hang-ups is light
hearted and works well. Best wishes in contest.
Peace,

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about withholding some information is sometimes in our best interest rather than showing all our cards too quickly.

Her clothed mind is never safe; but your clothes are ever free on hangers in the closet; well said, well done; enjoyed the read; thank you for sharing this; keep writing. Good luck for the contest. ALCREATOR

Many of the clothes hanging in my closet should probably remain there or be quietly buried! I like your 'clothed mind' pun. 'Hang-ups', too, has a clever double meaning here. An amusing entry to the contest.
