This is an outstanding poem and I really enjoyed it. I can just imagine how you felt out alone like that. So glad it just turned out to be a branch that caught on your clothing. Well done.

Congratulations on your win. This is an excellent poem with good rhyme. I really like the touch of Frost that you sneaked in.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
And I do love your poem a heap.

I enjoyed your little story in poem, it definitely made me smile.
You know women shouldn't go for walks in the woods alone because you just never know what kind of branch or twig your gonna run into... you got lucky, ha ha

    Yes! I was walking down a trail in jay cooke state park, when my sweater hooked a thin but long branch that I dragged along for awhile. I was certain that I was being followed!..lol. Thank you for reading. :)

I can totally see this happening. Those nature trails can get dark and lonely real quick. Before you know it you're imagining a killer in every shadow or behind every tree.

Well written.

    It's true and I have a wild imagination. Lately I've been scared of my own shadow, too many scary movies I guess. Thanks for the nice review. :)

Dear Author,
I enjoyed your poem and story! Narrative poems are among my favorite and yours is excellent! I also found your picture a foreshadow of what was to come--branches! I did not know about the fence....
My best in this contest, Deborah.

This is a well-written and interesting poem in its own right, but to know that your whole story was inspired by those three words is amazing. The story is inventive and fun to read, flows smoothly, and your rhymes work well. The only thing I might suggest is breaking it into stanzas for visual appeal and ease of reading. Good luck in the contest.

We have a mythical savage creature called a Bunyip. It lurks in lakes and rivers and billabongs, (an isolated pond) that waits for unsuspecting victims to ravage. (Although I don't know who's seen one) So well dine with this nicely written work in articulate couplet, it was smooth and very entertaining, a good entry in this contest, well done, good luck, blesings, Roy
