Real Life Monsters Comments

Power and conquest clearly make humans into true Monsters, see my poem: Wrapped In Abundance

A reminder that we need not look beyond the mirror to find the monster. This is an amazing verse!

I give ***** five stars. There are, I'm sure, many in my country, the U.S. of A., not a perfect country of course [are there any? ] who take no sides in the current over-borders fighting, and many who take one or the other side, and many who don't give a . : (

Last stanza: I had an idea that you were leading up to the present conflict in and around Israel. I would end without mentioning apartheid OR reword the stanza or put apartheid into a separate stanza. Or lump all racism/discrimination together in one stanza before your 'Israel' stanza.

(continued) 's', Are you SURE nothing was under your bed? ! ! I thought I saw a 3-eyed, fork-tongued, and DROOLING thing when I peeked through your window one night. : )))

As a teen there always seemed to lurk in my dread A monster that I made sure didn't ambush under my bed Thank God that was only in my head.' (cont.)

I would say '...Martians and other aliens', Martians being (possible?) inhabitants of the planet Mars. ;) bri

No 'real monster' is a gnome. a legendary dwarfish creature supposed to guard the earth's treasures underground. a small garden ornament in the form of a bearded man with a pointed hat. INFORMAL a small ugly person. 'a grizzled gnome of a man'

Gorgon: 'GREEK MYTHOLOGY each of three sisters, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, with snakes for hair, who had the power to turn anyone who looked at them to stone.' I THINK MY 2ND wife was a Gorgon, the 4th sister.

'The word djinn comes from the Arabic jinn, a plural noun that means both 'demons or spirits' and also, literally, 'hidden from sight.' The word genie shares the same Arabic root.'

So far, I'm enjoying your multitude of alliterations and your reference to such 'things' as are found 'at Halloween' & in some legends and fairy tales. : )

Before I forget, after reading a bit here, in one of your comments on my Piggy Porn poem, I think you typed 'he he', which I would have typed 'hee hee'. Ha! ! And in this poem I think 'vermin' is both the singular and plural form of 'vermin'. ;)

Some of those are real, the others just surreal.

How well you summed up every exagerated and hyped monster to the reality of present, it goes unparallel to everything, how these shameless leaders are killing the innocents. Full applause.

Lol I watch a lot of shows about those things I am not sure if they are but it's a joyous waste a time Bravo on the poem

Excellent poem, you truly have described real monsters. They may even live next door to you or you can brush past them every day. Man is the problem in thus world today. Top marks
