This article, although short, is quite powerful. I cannot say that I have experienced this occurance. I can just imagine what a person goes through. I did not see any typos or other mistakes. What I liked about the article is the imagery. As I read it, I could imagine what a person goes through. Congratulations on the win. Write On!

Review of Waves  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
This poem started telling a story, but left me wanting more. I am not a fan of Zen poetry, so I may be missing what this is all about. Did you win the contest? Did you expand the poem at a later date? I did not see any typos or other mistakes. I liked this poem. The second stanza could be how you were able to get out from under the grief and heartache. Great start. Write On!

Review of Dark Lullaby

Rated: E | (4.5)
This poem sound like a heart that has been torn to shreds. The way it is written, it takes on the point of view of a child who is imploring for someone to come and ease its misery. This is very powerful and deep. I like how it is written and the feelings that are exposed. Great Read! Write ON!

This poem, although heart wrenching, made me laugh. ITs imagery was very believable. I could just picture a person going through this. I first thought it was a man who was having these difficulties. My question is: Did you get through the interview? Were you hired? This was a very humorous way to explain a nerve wracking experience. Great Read! Write ON!

I had to read this poem twice to understand its meaning. After having the bulb go off on my marble head, I realized that you were describing a fire. It is very unusual. There area few typos. The imagery is fantastic. You did a really good job with this. Write On!

Review of Forevermore

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
As I read this poem, I thought it was going to carry me one way. It did the exact opposite. This seemed a bit confusing to me. I understood the billboard, but your interpretation seemed to be a whirlwind. At first, I thought the billboard was an ad for a pain reliever. I guess, in a way, it is. Just not the one you would expect. Write ON!

Review of Season Opener

Rated: E | (4.5)
Short, but sweet. I liked it, but I think it could have been expanded. I feel that it makes the reader want more. I, personally, am not a football fan. I love my Detroit Tigers. I am sure you have been a sports fan for most of your life. How did you feel when they won.? Did you ever go to see a game in person? Write On!

Review of Auto-Bio Poem  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a very interesting collection of poems. However, there are several spelling mistakes that I encountered. The poem about spinach made my stomach turn. I personally despise the vegetable. The poem about you was quite interesting. It's interesting how people perceive themselves. If I wrote a poem about me, it wouldn't be good.Silent Night wasn't what I expected. I thought about a Christmas poem. Nice Work! Write On!

Review of Witch Trials  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This is an interesting and informative piece. I have heard of the Salem Witch Trials and read about them. What has really confused me is why the accused were just put to death with any real proof. The imagery was realistic and moving. I didn't see any mistakes and my impressions are that you did your research. Great Read. Write On!

This story reminds me of things that happened to my siblings when we were growing up. Its imagery kept me on the edge of my seat and hoping for more. What were the consequences of you ripping your bloomers? Did you ever find out why the house was locked? I did not see any grammatical mistakes or other errors. Memories are great. Write On!

Review of The Escape Plan

Rated: E | (4.5)
THis was a well written story. However, there were a few typoes. Maureens should have been Maureen's. My question is: Who is Maureen? It was never explained. IS she Dave's companion, wife, pet, or what? This is a story of an arsonist whose act seems to backfire on him{pun intended}. It had my attention and made want more. Nice Work! Write On!

Review of My eagle  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE NEWBIE REVIEWE...  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was a great story and very well written. I enjoyed how it progressed and how the eagle grew to trust you and your family. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. There was not anything I disliked about the story. This is a memory that you probably tucked away in your mind that you revisit from time to time. It is really something how people or animals can touch our lives and leave a permanent footprint on your soul. Write On!

Review of I Am A Cornfield  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE NEWBIE REVIEWE...  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This poem is nice, but quite short. I think you can expand it. Use the other seasons to come up with stanzas that would describe what happens in the cornfield. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. This poem left me wanting more. Where was the rest? Great Start. Write On!

This piece had my interest. As I read it, I pictured being there and witnessing the actions as they occurred. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. There was not anything that I disliked about the piece. What I liked was the imagery and how you take the reader on this professor's journey and his mishap. Great Read. Write On!

Review of My World  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)
This piece was quite interesting. However, I did find a few grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes. First of all, you should make paragraphs. There should be spaces after punctuation marks. a horses feet. Horses should have an apostrophe.

I liked the piece. Its imagery was very believable. I've not been on a horse for many years, but I'd like to try again. Write On!

Review of I've Been

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I really liked this poem. It has a very positive attitude to it. This poem would be a good one to have done in calligraphy and hung on walls of schools and places of business. Its rhyming scheme flows quite easily, and sends a great message. Great Work! Write On!

Review of A Possum's Story  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This story had me laughing, scared, and, at the end, crying. I had a possum on my patio about sixteen years ago. I did not let him in, but my ex husband wanted to. A dear friend of mine had one on his patio and he named him Pogo.He would feed him daily until Pogo just left. This was well written and fully enjoyable. Write On! The babies are probably used to you, but I'd still be careful about petting.

Rated: ASR | (4.0)
This dialogue had me at the edge of my seat. I could picture the whole scene as it was happening. I do, however, have a few questions. Was there supposed to be a birthday party? How old are the two main characters? Did you win the contest this was submitted for? IT was very suspenseful. Write On!

Review of 1984

Rated: E | (5.0)
Robert, you need to smile. Wasn't the trip what you expected? If you were eighteen in '84, then you're a year younger than my youngest brother. He, like you, has a technical mind. We are very close. Have you stayed in contact with Pat? The one thing I never did and wished I could have done was just take a trip to clear my mind and heart. Then it would give me a chance to begin the next chapter in my life. Write On!

Review of The Teddy Bear  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)
First of all, did this win the cramp? It brought back memories of my father. Unlike the father in the piece, my father was there physically, but not emotionally. I essentially have the same situation. I moved out @ 27 and both my parents were indifferent to me. This is a definite winner in my book. Write On!

This poem reminds me of a first love. It took me back to when I was eighteen. The indecision of thge author is very evident. What I liked about the piece was the imagery used and how it was compared to an ocean. There wasn't anything I disliked about the poem. There weren't any mistakes and this tugged at my heart.

This sounds like a great group. The world needs more positive people in it instead of negative. When I was reading about what the group is about, I became confused about who the members would review. Do the members pick the pieces to review, or does the leader do this?

After reading about the group, I would really love to join. I have to get back into reviewing and giving the members of Writing.com critiques on their various works. I hope this review helps.

Review of Hospital Buddies  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This story kept me on my toes. It was quite interesting and made me think of the two people I knew who had polio. One was my great uncle who passed away last June at the age of 83. He contracted the disease in his teens. He was a special man. The other person was a dear friend of mine who passed away on my birthday in 2006. He contracted the disease in 1952 when he was three.

What I liked about the story was that it kept the reader wanting more. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. The story could be developed more to show what happened to John Simmons. Did he ever meet up with FDR again? Write On!

This group is a great idea. I know that I have not written in my journal in a long time. That, along with doing other things, will change in 2008. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. My overall impression is that this is a great way for readers of journals and/or blogs to get to know their fellow members. Great Job! Write On!
