Hi Alex,
This is a well written free verse that says a man can be the opposite of what his legend states. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a person by gossip or legend.
Keep writing and stay healthy
I think this should do well in the contest.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Alex,

This is a nice poem about the strong man. It is a very good free form poem. It is well organized and flows quite nicely to completion.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

Cecilia

The imagery is vivid, and the contrast between his outward strength and inner gentleness is poignant. Here are a few suggestions to enhance the flow and impact of your poem:
Take care and keep writing.
