Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" 
Thank you for entering our March Acrostic poetry contest. *Shamrock*

First impression:

Right off the bat I could see "St. Patrick's Day jump right out at me because of the bold print. Highlighting the prompt words was followed according to the rules. *BoxCheck*

Further Thoughts:

Your poem is nicely rhyming and covers the importance of the Saint as a preacher.

Observation:

At times he green was important Did you mean the green OR his green? That gave me pause in an otherwise quick and easy poetic read.

Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:

You followed the rules and delivered a lovely acrostic tribute to St. Patrick's Day celebration. Use of the apostrophe in his name was not a requirement.

Well done! *Shamrock*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our March, Acrostic poetry month! *Bigsmile*

First Thoughts:

ST Patricks Day really stood out in your poem with its green font. Thus the rules were followed.

Further Thoughts:

The acrostic had good rhythm and a fine rhyme making the poem a pleasure to read.

Parting Thoughts:

I love that you wove into the poem a brief history of St. Patrick. His young life, being kidnapped at age 16. *Cry* Good visuals with the snakes off the cliff and into the sea.

The ending, "DAY," brings on the celebration part of St. Patrick's Day. *Glass3*


Conclusion:

Well done! *Shamrock*

Until next time--write on!

Review! *Angelic*

I'm also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our Cupid Slam, bad-poetry, one-star worthy contest. *Cupidheart*

Opening Thoughts:

Our annual Cupid Slam contest is the contest for anyone who despises that pesky little diaper-wearing, arrow-flinging creature.

The spirit of this contest is to Slam Cupid but good. That creature needs to be told just exactly what you think about him, his sickly sweet Valentine's Day antics and his droopy diaper. We want the best of the worst 1-star worthy poetry showing that sentiment.

Further Thoughts:

Did your poem stand up to such stringent scrutiny? Let's see...

Were the Slams real zingers that makes Cupid drop his arrow from his fingers?

Sadly, not. *Sob*

There were some well-rhymed lines with a hint about Cupid's job where he's merely told to go away. (Oh, my, he deserved much more slamming than that.)

Parting Thoughts:

This particular contest calls for the most terrible of insults being flung at Cupid. He does not need the hint of disapproval, but rather, sufficient disapproval to make him take wing and stray away, never to want to spend another Valentine Day in anyone's way. I know, crappy poetry but what can I say? *Laugh*

Conclusion:

The poem itself was way too good to be too bad. *CupidArrowL*

Hope to see you next February for another try to get Cupid squarely between his ... *Silent*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam, bad poetry contest in February! *Bigsmile*

Initial Thoughts:

This is bad. I mean really bad. *Sick*

That evil brat just shot an arrow
right through the head of a nearby sparrow,
and now he's chewing on its marrow.
It's quite a gross affair.

Butttttttt ... was it bad enough?

Further Thoughts:

You put out some real zingers to that diaper wearing arrow flinger. He is a mess, I saw that, no guess. I had a sense of "I can't unsee that moment"!

Parting Thoughts:

It's on the terrible list for sure. I would have like a little more direct to Cupid slamming to make it personal to him in the first person, slimy. *Laugh*

Conclusion:

Gross, stinky and just plain bad. I suppose that's a good thing. *Thought2*

Good luck! *Cupidheart*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our February, Cupid Slam contest! It's the way of getting back at Cupid for all its sickly sweet arrow flinging and mismatching of couples.

Initial Thoughts:

As you know, the essence of this contest is to give us your best Slam poem directed at Cupid.

The sought after 1-Star rating is the icing on the cake -- or box of heart-shaped chocolates. *Sick*

Further Thoughts:

Indeed it was bad, awful terrible poetry letting that beast have it. But, was it irredeemably disgustingly bad? We shall see ...

The Slams:

he is an immature little kid (Pretty tame)

He makes his victims sing the lovesick blues (eh, keep going...)

He bedazzled, mesmerized, hypnotized, lobotomized (Getting better, especially "lobotomized")

You gave a good stab at being bad.

What I would have liked:

I think the nastiness would shine through more if the poem were directed right to Cupidin a more active voice rather than passive telling us about the Cupid mishaps. It makes it much more uglier! *Smirk2*


Parting Thoughts:

There are some lines that make Cupid an inept pest who should in no way be near couples looking for love in all the wrong places. *Ha*

The AI version was tamer. And really, this was about getting down and dirty Slamming Cupid.

Conclusion:

I don't see where it is super bad for a 1-Star rating. But it was badly written poetry about that sick beast of February. Thus, 1.5 *Star* is where this Slam, lands. I hate to ruin ratings in a book entry, so if you hate to see that as well, come back to me after contest is judged. I'll raise that bad rating to a 4 star, where it would have landed if done without the intended Slam. *Wink*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam, 1-Star worthy poetry contest in February.

First Thoughts:

Was this Bad Poetry?

I love the badness woven within the lines, but bad, bad, terrible bad? I found more good poetry which discusses the dating scene and how much it has changed.

Further Thoughts:

Did Cupid get Slammed? *Thought2*

What I saw was more of a general dislike for Cupid and the reasons why. I did not see the direct telling Cupid off, stating what a horrible pain this creature really is. Although he did have mention of why he isn't needed. But those points are more directed in a third person point of view about him rather than to him.

Parting Thoughts:

You know, I liked the poetry. I like the creativeness of stating just how dating can be viewed these days over years ago before Tinder was around.

Conclusion:

I don't want to bring down the ratings on this poem because it has good rhythm, some amusing parts and is nicely penned. I'm giving it a 4.5 for a mostly perfect Cupid poem but not really a Cupid Slam. *Cupidheart*

No worries, we return same time next year for more opportunities to really Slam Cupid. *Ha*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam poetry contest, where 1-*Star* bad poetry is the sought after rating! But, just how bad can bad be amongst the all the competing bads! Must wait and see. *Rolling*

Initial Thoughts:

Rules were followed *DartR*
Poetry only *DartR*
Slam Cupid in that poetry *DartR*
Make it bad as bad can be for the sought after one star rating. *Scale1*

Further Thoughts:

My Favorite Cupid messed up part is here *Down*

His most outstanding achievements would have to be
The day he met the Lightning Hurler himself, Zeus.
He turned his Mom into a silly goose, his Dad into a flea;
As for the King of the Gods, a full glass of Prune Juice.
Both mom and pop thought the action was krass,
When asked what Zeus thought, "This, too, will pass. *Rolling*"

Nice touch there. Prune juice, eh? *Shock*

Parting Thoughts:

*QuestionW* Nicely penned poem of Cupid bashing. Does it hit the arrow marksman in its sappy heart?

*Thought* It's indeed bad, yet is it bad enough to be the baddest 1-star bad making it the worst?

*Thought2* I think it's terrible but misses the target at the extremely bad. *CupidArrowL*


Conclusion:

I loved the music related mentions within the poem. It made me hum a bit reading each verse. Now I have a brain worm as I ask myself and Cupid ...What's Love Got to Do with It? *DartR*

Pretty bad, but could be worse. *CupidArrowR*

Until next time--write on!

review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slamming 1 star worthy poetry contest in February. *Cupidheart*

First Thoughts:

This is Slam Poetry where Cupid gets slammed for his messing up the lives of many during his love-struck, (or strike,) month of February, trying to match-make couples. It doesn't always turn out great, but hey, at least every February we can tell Cupid exactly what we think of him! *Laugh*


Further Thoughts:

The Essence of the Contest...

*CupidArrowR* Must slam that beastly little arrow-flinger, CUPID!

*CupidArrowR* Must be Poetry Only, any form or free verse -- doesn't matter so long as it's just plain AWFUL!

*CupidArrowR* We are looking for the really creative kind of "bad" that makes us cringe and groan over its terribleness! *RollEyes*

*CupidArrowR* A ONE-STAR RATING is the ultimate goal, here. We will award the "best" of the rest, one-starred poems as the winners.

You have written poetry, but was it bad poetry?

SLAMS?

"That jolly little fellow
With fluffy wings"

"Cupid is such a love."

"That little sweet cutie"

"Cupid is such a darling."

"That little dainty cherub"

*Up*
*Down*
What I Saw?

I saw a sweet little fellow that is loved, not slammed. *Sob*

Conclusion:

This is one lucky Cupid because he missed the terrible poetic slams that are the essence of the contest.

*DartR* I think the poem is too good to be --too bad! Thus the higher rating. *Cupidheart*

This is an annual contest. Perhaps next year you will have less affection for Cupid! *Laugh*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam, bad poetry contest in February. *Cupidheart*

The Intent of the Slam is to really bash that dastardly character, Cupid. I mean, slam that critter really bad! Let's see if your slamming ranked up there with the worst of the worst! *Smirk*

The idea is to write Intentional a 1-star worthy rating. *Lemon*

Technique:

Interesting Shakespeare sonnet-type of badness. *CheckGr*

Sufficient Cupid Slamming? I think it was more pondering what the little beast has done to the narrator rather than what the narrator does to Bash the Beast.

Further Thoughts:

The positives are the chosen words making the imagery of reading the poem burst out within the reader's mind. It was a fun read and quite humorous.

Loved the underlying innuendos. *Laugh*

Conclusion:

This is a tough one to rate. It's pretty bad ...but is it irredeemably bad? *Think*

I'm giving it 1.5 because it's bad poetry, but a little good within its bad. *Thought*

There's a whole lot of slam poems to go through. Sometimes 1.5 *Star* is bad enough to get a place in the winners' circle. You just never know. *EyesLeft*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our annual Cupid Slam poetry contest in February! *Cupidheart*

First Impression:

Yup, it's definitely bad poetry. It appears Cupid does a smelly job of matchmaking. In fact, the entire poem stank of Cupid's expelling of gaseous fumes.

Further Thoughts:

Did the Slamming go far enough?

I think this poems leaves a trail of stink through each line. We get that Cupid is not one another would want to be in the same room with, that's for sure.

I do think there were more chances to read Cupid the riot act. Surely more bad could have been tossed at that pesky creature. *Thought* The point about his stink, stank, stunk was well defined, though. *Skunk*

My favorite Part of Nasty!

That stench began one frosty morn
I loved the love he’d brought.
My mother said, “No, that’s just porn.” *Laugh*
It seems that I’d been caught.


Parting Thoughts:

One thing's for sure, finding love through Cupid's help just reinforces those words "love stinks!"

Conclusion:

I feel like I need a breath of fresh air! *Rolling*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

I'm also reviewing your slam of Cupid as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering the annual February, Cupid Slam Poetry contest that gives all of us who are sick and tired of sickly sweet Cupid mishaps a chance slam that pesky creature but good! *CupidArrowL*

Initial Thoughts:

You went after Cupid with all the mismatching he has done causing more grief than fun! *RollEyes*

*CupidArrowR* SLAM! *CupidArrowL*
Your aim is so terrible, it's a cosmic disgrace,
You're not a love guru, just a cheesy, fading dream.
But love built on your schemes soon turns frosty and cold.
chubby cherubs and their childish wiles.

*DartR* Plus, Cupid is told to take a hike due to all his love matching being less than desirable in results.


Further Thoughts:

You make a fine plea for Cupid to just go away. So much messing up and hard feelings and broken hearts and a girl and a pizza delivery man ... That didn't end well! *Laugh*

Parting Thoughts:

You followed the rules with a Slam poem directed at Cupid. It's getting the sought after 1-*Star*

You bashed him but good! But, was it good enough at being BAD enough? We shall see *DartR*

Conclusion:

Good work and good luck! *GoLucky*

#597313 by Writing.Com Support


Thank you for entering January's Dear Me Contest!



Initial Thoughts:

You have listed several goals you'd like to complete for the year.

Goals to complete these tasks by a certain date:

*BulletBr* complete "Across America" by the first of March.

*BulletV* spend quality time with friends at least five times by the twenty-third of February. (Friends are so important. I love that you included making them part of your over all goals.)

*BulletB* commit to forgetting someone who has caused me pain, symbolically on the twenty-eighth of January, my birthday. ( Very good goal. Forgiveness only makes us stronger.)

*BulletO* bring joy to my family, particularly my coffee-loving mother, I aim to master the art of making the best coffee in our household. (Family is very important.)

These goals are reasonable and I believe attainable. *ThumbsUpL*


Observation:

All paragraphs start with Dear Me. This tends to be monotonous. You really want to pull your reader into the goals planned for the year. Show the excitement of these goals for 2024.


Conclusion:

I see this as a good start. The letter to oneself just seems more of a short list with not much confidence shown by the lack of enthusiastic description of goals and how to attain them.

However, the rules were followed, and the letter started off with "Dear Me" as required.


Good luck with all your goals for 2024! *Fire*

First Impressions:

I love how your opening is filled with crackle and sparkle of fireworks. It's a positive way to propel yourself into managing your goals.

Further Thoughts:

Adventures, Kindness & Creativity:

These are lovely personal goals It not only boosts your spirits but also passes on the spirit of your passion to others. Writing goals and other creative outlets are there, as well as good cheer, spreading a smile, cherishing the simple joys with loved ones. These are goals that not only benefit yourself but others around you.


Suggestion:

You might have wanted to add a bit of color, to make the goals stand out. Not required, but goes a long way to attract attention. Just my humble opinion. *Wink*

Parting Thoughts:

You have all the goals set out. They all seem manageable--not too much expected beyond time and ability to complete. Some things are just a natural such as sharing joy and smiles with loved ones. It returns exponentially. And face it, what goes around comes around to boost your confidence as you reach for your goals.


Conclusion:

It's a very straightforward list of goals. All seem doable and thus could be accomplished this year.

Good job--Good luck! *Tackb*

Thank you for entering January's Dear Me Contest!



First Impressions:

The layout is very attractive to the eyes. It pulled me right into your goals for this year.

Further Impressions:

Your well-thought out goals include being kinder to yourself as well as others. Also being forgiving, showing more care and love to family, and learning how to say "no" when it's necessary.

I like the way the goals a re broken down. They have clarity and are concise. Nothing added that appears to be far out as far as reaching those goals.

Parting Thoughts:

You did a wonderful job giving yourself goals that are definable, can be adjusted when needed but not completely tossed out of consideration. Your goals touch upon a faith you have in your abilities that just need a little nudge and a bit of dedication.

Conclusion:

You tackled this Dear Me prompt with a true passion! Good luck with all of your goals for 2024! *Karate2*

First Impression:

On first gaze, I love the eye appeal of the layout. The image is beautiful with the birds in the nest hiding in the bush. The breakdown of the goals is clear and well presented.

Further Thoughts:

The Dragons and Dust Bunnies and jungle are a creative edition. It made it a fun read.

The diary of goals set in 2023 and how they rated to be used as a comparison to 2024 when the years is up is an excellent approach.

Parting Thoughts:

You've listed reading and writing goals. Editing a book for release on Amazon, working on a new novel, and investing the needed time for marketing shows a clear path to success in publishing. Lots of work!

Conclusion:

It's wonderful to see your The Bee Hive activities come to life.

Great job! Good luck with your 2024 goals!

Thank you for entering January's Dear Me Contest!



Initial Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the unique presentation! It was fun to read and I enjoyed the added humor. I know, you don't believe you are humorous, but you certainly can be as I've seen in a couple reviews I've done for you in the past.

Further Thoughts:

You're keeping it real!

You choose five goals for 2024. That is the first step to success. Don't stack too many plans all together and expect that time will wait for you to finish them. There's always unplanned circumstances in life that tend to throw a monkey wrench right smack into our best laid plans.

Taking care of yourself is part of it. Taking care of physical and emotional roadblocks by being more proactive about it.

Trying not to stress out id another key to your reaching your goals. Keeping it real and not being too hard on yourself. That always leads to negative results.

Positive Changes are part of the plan.

Write/blog more.

Stay away from bad habits and use the tools available to keep the good attitude going each day.

Parting Thoughts:


Now, I have to go back to #1 Talk about starting the letter with shock treatment...this was brilliant!

I like the refrain of going back to #1 each time you'd find an excuse not to do something working toward healthier goals. This added humor to the shock the reader got on first glimpse!

Conclusion:

You've got this! Good luck with your 2024 goals. *TeaR*

You want to go back to your roots, focus on the skills and traits that are foundational to you. Refocus on your career and have time for the thing you love, photography.

How to accomplish the goals you want for 2024:

Civic Involvement

Reductions to your civic commitments to free up space to complete your other goals.

Photography:

Enhance your photography interests with the space you free up from civic involvement.

Finding a job in cybersecurity, IT and troubleshooting skills.

Don't get caught up in all the stresses going on these days. Focus on the things that allow your mind to settle down for a little while.

Thank you for entering January's Dear Me Contest!




Initial Thoughts:

You have many accomplishments having to do with your love for Sci-Fi. It's a very industrious workload you have, indeed. Script writing and a novel or two will definitely keep you busy this year.

Further Thoughts:

One thing that made me pause. I found it difficult to get through all the back story in the beginning of the letter which reads more like a short story before goals are listed. It was a bit confusing.

The Goals Stated:

"Once I finish transcribing these scripts, I will start working on my Outlines"
This is expected be a reached goal by the middle of the year. *Thumbsup*

Also, additional scripts: Starting SpaceHorrors scriptwriting project.

-Start writing short stories about DeathBringers.

- A novel introduction to my SpaceHorrors television series.

I believe those are the goals set for 2024. I may have missed something but it happens when there's not a clear list for the reader to see right away. Which is why it's a good idea to simplify the layout of your current year's goals rather than losing them in the past history. It's very clear that you have a love for Sci-Fi. I think more time could have been spent clarifying your current goals.

Conclusion:

These are all industrious goals. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and successes for 2024. *Wand*

Review! *Angelic*

I'm also reviewing your item because it popped up on the Random, Read & Review. *Smile*

My Thoughts:

This is a beautiful expression of faith. I love how the images of people clapping their hands to give glory to the Lord come into my mind.

It's quite lyrical and I wondered if it were meant to be a singing prayer. I could imagine little children singing this with their sweet, enthusiastic voices along with their parents. *HeartT*

If indeed these words are song lyrics perhaps add lyrics along Spiritual with the Genres.

Parting Thoughts:

The words flowed smoothly. They wove in the spiritual richness of faith. It's a prayer for each reader who comes across this.

I found no errors that took away from this simple expression of love and praise of Our Lord. *Pray*

Great job!

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Review! *Angelic*

I found your item on the "Review a Newbie" page. Welcome to WDC! *Rose*

Initial Thoughts:

I like the Title and Brief Description. A reader knows it is aimed at living a healthy life over 50.

Further Thoughts:

Your list is clear and states reasons why there are so many obstacles to finding that healthy lifestyle. Sometimes we tend to forget ourselves when so busy taking care of others. One must always allow time to relax eat well and properly, exercise and know your body's warning bells that something may not be exactly right. *Strong*

Parting Thoughts:

I think most of us know the recipe for maintaining health. It's living a common sense lifestyle. A body can only take so much "abuse" before it winds down and hits a high level of fatigue. *Yawn*

I agree with the change which hand you use to brush your teeth. I have heard that changing up the dominant hand for the non-dominant can increase brain function because it exercises the brain as well. It could also help if ever a stroke happens for the brain to learn to reroute information where there has been damage from the stroke. As I said, I heard it or read it somewhere and it always stuck in my mind. *Brain2*

Conclusion:

Very useful and sensible advice! Good job. *StarfishY*

I had to change the content rating on this article because "have sex" is non-E. nor ASR. 13+ is the rating that fits this item. "There are absolutely no references to sex (other than gender)" in an E or ASR content rating.

Again, welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy all the features on the site. If you have questions about navigating the site, you can check out "Writing.Com 101" .

Until next time--write on!

Review!

I am also reviewing your item because it popped up on the random Read & Review.

First Thoughts:

The title and brief description gave me a glimpse into the tone of the poem. Reaching the age of 50 and finding strength and confidence in a half century of life and going forward is a beautiful thing. *Rose*

Further Thoughts:

The poem was quite expressive as the confident woman breaks through the follies of youth and games played and all those things women feel are their lot in life. No longer dancing through hoops trying to please others is what I gleaned from this poem. *Vine1*

Parting Thoughts:

I loved the flow and the emotions evoked from reading this poem. The lines spoke a clarity to me along with the folksy tone. It was appreciated the definition of "caul" and the Bread of shame from ingratitude given to God. Interesting!

Conclusion:

The lines flowed easily one line after another. It made images form in my mind that last long after reading this poem.

I found nothing that looks out of place ...Perfection! *TeaV*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our January picture prompt dialogue contest. *Bigsmile*

Initial Thoughts:

A man contemplates through his thoughts what the end of his life will be like.

Further Thoughts:

He shares his thoughts of earlier days with his daughter when she was young and playing with her friends. So much joy in his memories. He decides to write a letter to her since he knew he was dying. *Hourglass*

Observations:

Contest rules followed?

Internal Dialogue -- Yes this was written as the character's inner thoughts.

Was the dialogue based on the picture prompt? ...No, there is no tie-in to the picture prompt of a man sitting on a bench on a cold January day.

Word count is given. *CheckG*


Parting Thoughts:

This was a beautiful read about a lifetime of memories. I love how he gets to hold his daughter's hand at the end.

Conclusion:

Great dialogue, but missing the prompt. *Sob*


Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering January's picture prompt dialogue contest. *Bigsmile*

Initial Thoughts:

The Brief Description states, "A man searches for a lost ring as his thoughts rage." The reader expects to find out what kind of ring it is and what's causing his distress.

Further Thoughts:

A man sits on a park bench trying to figure out if his girlfriend took something from his drawer when he stepped away from the room. He started blaming her through his internal dialogue because he couldn't find the missing item/s anywhere and she was the last to be close by his drawer. *Gavel*


Observations:

Yes, the brief description states it was a lost ring. However, nowhere in the body of the entry does mention it's a ring missing.

Also, ring or rings? "...the last place I saw them was the nook in my nightstand." Them implies more than one. A little confusing, here.

Parting Thoughts:

I did like the ending when after bashing her for the theft, and humming a tune with lyrics convincing to leave her, he states: "Best get going. I don't want her to worry. *Laugh* I guess he got all that other crap off his chest and was ready to go see her. Ain't love strange?!! *Rolling*

Conclusion:

Prompt was followed, internal dialogue, and the word count given. *CheckO*

Just a little clarification needed of the above mentioned observations about the article/s missing.

Thanks again for entering! *PaintG*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
