Lovely. I have a few minor suggestions; I'd omit "to" from the second line as it's not needed. I don't like "dirt-dirty", but I loved "not a nothing in sight". ...

Re: A silly work called Monsters Under My Bed
Lol. This was great, very funny. I think the second line needs another syllabyl. Maybe choose an adjective with two syllabyls, and say "(adjective) monsters lurk under my bed." I ...

Re: Critques
Lol. Lovely. I think I'd change "shining" to "blazing" as it sounds more menacing. I'd omit the comma after "feather", as I don't think that you need it. I love ...
