Hello!

Thank you so much for submitting to the MHHWA Review contest!

This has been one of the nicest poems I've read all month.

The structure brought attention to all the right places:





The imagery was amazing:

Dilapidated warrens;
Inhabited only by the ghostly
Scents of nests abandoned.


And the narrative comes full circle, completing the cycle of the poem:


I would have come to you,
But I was sheltering in place.


I honestly don't think this poem could have been executed any better, and that's before even getting into the expansive vocabulary used in the piece and the delightful way in which you approached the prompt. The idea of expressing the majesty of a mythical being through the eyes of a woodland creature is, I think, perfect.

Thank you so much again for sharing this magical piece with us, and I hope I get to read more of your work soon.

Sincerely,

Cat
