Review! *Angelic*

I was perusing your portfolio and this title caught my eye. I happen to love the color red. It's everything you described in your essay. Red is a sign of love, celebration,beauty in nature and also a sign of danger.

What a fabulous universal color to capture one's attention globally. Even the red hourglass on a Black Widow spider is beautiful. *Spider*

I enjoyed this read and all the information given about the color red.

Good Job and quite interesting!

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*


P.S. This story is also in your portfolio in the B-item format. We had talked about that in regards to The Bard's Hall Contest. That's all you need to do to enter. *Wink*

Review! *Angelic*

I am reviewing your entries entered into "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our June Blog Month contest.

*CheckY* Kudos, for starting a Bard's Hall Blog book to make it easier for us to follow along!
*CheckP* Great job adding poetry and videos to along with the entries.

*Reading* You did a wonderful job introducing us to your life's daily joys and struggles. I was praying for you during your health concerns. So glad the wound has gotten better. I know someone down South who struggled for months with a stubborn wound that just wouldn't seem to heal. Thankfully it has mended after much wound care help and antibiotic therapy.

*Video* Your videos added creativity plus educational information about Gender equality and sacrifices made at the cost of a life. Dedicated to helping women in countries whereby their rights and freedoms are not considered.

*PenBl* I always enjoy your poetry additions. You have such a gift writing poetry. It amazed me that so much of your sleep is restricted, yet you seem to have an energy within that keeps your mind open to the world around you, and an ability to record it through your poems.

*BookOpen* The Prayer Box -- what a great idea. You are far more organized than I can imagine myself being.

"Patience is another problem I have." You're not the only one with this problem.

You're right about when problems need solutions, prayer is always the best advice. It's where I turn each and everyday. *Pray*

You've done a terrific job adding entries throughout the month of June. *Quill*

Kudos! *Clap*

WebWitch *Witch*

I am also reviewing your entries as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our June Blog Month contest! *Bigsmile*

My Thoughts:

You say: "Entries about ordinary, mundane events and days. My life isn't that exciting!"
I beg to differ with you. *Bigsmile*

I thought your blog was well crafted. The imagery you painted with your words was wonderful tour through your daily life. I don't tolerate heat well, so I felt the sweat as you described the unusable sun screen on the balcony. *Temphot*

You came up with the most clever ways to skip doing dishes. I know how you feel. I don't have a dishwasher up North and I do a great job keeping up with the daily dishes. However, holidays like we are having now in the US, seem to produce so many pots and pans. Those make it all look impossible to tackle. I have to get those out of the way to find the regular dishes used for the meal. *Laugh* I have to admit, after those were done, I just left the plates and flatware sit and soak overnight because I was on my feet all day cooking and went to be. *Ha*

I'm so sorry about your step mother's dementia. I just lost my sister-in-law to Alzheimer's. It's so tough having a loved one going through that. My brother is devastated over his loss of her.She wasn't that old, either.

Parting Thoughts:

*CheckO* I love that you started a Bard's Blog book
*CheckP* It was easy to follow along
*CheckY* You added creative touches that made it pleasing to the eye with videos and Gifs.
*Quill* The entries were very informative of your not so dull life after all! *Ha*

You did a wonderful job! *Clap*

I enjoyed it very much! *Reading*

Regards,
Webbie *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I found your item while perusing the Comedy Genre page. It's title just brought out the French in me! *Ha*

Initial Thoughts:

I needed to know what Jean's tempting choice would be as the brief description alluded to. (Shame on me ending that sentence with a preposition.) *Laugh*


Further Thoughts:

How interesting that Jean had the foresight to require an answer to nature's call at that moment. Clever: Jean Dupont French version of "John Doe"

I love how you, the author, came up with such a quirky story line. You've conjured up such a spirited apparition of youth and beauty, (albeit scary) to be Jean's seducer.

Parting Thoughts:

I love that it's a romantic-comedy mix. *CheckP*
I love how the man who went through 6 other wives was quite happy with his present version of the Madame.

Conclusion:

Amusing tale with a fine ending that, well frankly, probably saved his life in the long run. *Ha*

*NoteR* I am highlighting your story in the upcoming Comedy Newsletter. *News*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item because I came across its link in your recent blog post, "Zippity is not my name. Do? Duh... is not my game " .

First Impressions:

The title and brief description pull the reader right into the poem. Love the idea of an Autumn Lullaby. It's a season of nature's waning. It does not die without first displaying bountiful foliage of colors.

Further Impressions:

Lullabies are soft and sweet and help to soothe spirit. This one is soft, as a sweet melody, yet it focuses on the dying part of autumn as it relates to one who ended life on a rope hanging on a tree. That death personified the ugliness that had been thrown upon another during life. That person battered and bitter bids adieu with joy.

Parting Thoughts:

The rhythm and rhyme were spot on.
The poem itself is dark, yet does so in a soulful melody woven within the lines shining a light on how there is sometimes beauty in death.

Conclusion:

A hauntingly beautiful piece! *Tree3*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review!

I am reviewing your item because it popped up on the Random Read & Review. *Reading*

Initial Thoughts:

The title caught my attention, so I decided to take on the read and review of this item.

It is intriguing the " The Anti-noise Voice."

Further Thoughts:

The poem is a free verse. I do enjoy a well-crafted free verse poem. This was kept my thoughts and images blooming within my mind's eye. Very strong word combinations bring the poem to a flourish at the end.

Observations:

"Like the shape of kind heart of the sun" This line is a little awkwardly stated. Perhaps Like warmth of a kind-hearted sun. I'm sure you can come up with something better to take the awkwardness of the line away. *Wink*

Parting Thoughts:

I believe the First verse is probably a little weaker than the other verses as per the last line stated above. However, the impact of your second and third verses seem to bring it on giving the reader a feeling of urgency and then leading to a softer conclusion.

Love this:

"It is like the ancient pine trees' dance that cannot be rendered by heavy snow" Lovely!
&

"It passes through minds' clouds to kiss the heart of our soul" Perfectly peaceful, soft whisper of an ending. *Rose*


Conclusion:

Well done! *Witchlegs1*

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 May Original Photo and Haiku contest! *Bigsmile*

The Photo:

A very expressive photo op for a curious cat! Something's got her attention, obviously.


Love the way the cat is so relaxed in her surrounding. She's probably looking at the shoes that came in that bag and were removed so the furry one could take over the secure little home. But then, maybe she's wondering what to do with the shoes if she gets a hold of them! *Ha*

Beautiful model with the perky white markings.
Expression is heartwarming.
The setting is homey and welcoming.
The curiosity is apparent.

The Haiku:

This is the traditional Haiku, 5-7-5 syllable count within three lines. *CheckP*

Meshes well with the photo. She doesn't seem to mind the tightness of the box. Looks more like she's quite secure in it. But, yes, she's spotted something and may make a move for it. I wonder if some kitty treats were also removed from the large bag on the table and shown to her. *Ha*

Good job! *Cat*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our May Original Photo and Haiku contest! *Bigsmile*

The Photo:

Geese and chicks walking a pathway to a place unknown. Nothing seems to threaten them. They are traveling along at their own pace, finding things to eat along the way. It's the sweetness of spring upon nature and new life.


The Haiku:

Traditional 3 lines, 5-7-5 Haiku.

The poem pulls my eyes right back to the photo as the threat of death was hitting birds through Bird Flu. Now I have to wonder if the ones on the road escaped the danger and are moving along life's road without a care. Perhaps they escaped the Flu and feel freedom in front of them. But it is decided that spring always brings new life. That's always the beauty of nature. Images have so many interpretations. Your poem fit nicely accompanying the photo.

Well done! *Duck*

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 May Original Photo and Haiku contest! *Bigsmile*

The Photo:

This is a photo of a tree planted by your Dad, who let it grow from a twig to a wild and crazy expression of "I'm my own branches and leaves ... let me grow how I wish." *Ha* That's what popped into my mind while gazing at it. The tree displays metaphorically how strength and determination can survive difficult living situations.



The Haiku:

Well-penned to match Daddy's Tree."

Traditional 3 lines, 5-7-5 haiku.

Represents to the reader how a wild and crazy growing tree is appealing to this Dad since he grew it from a twig.

Very cool! *TreeCypress*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our May Original Photo and Haiku contest! *Bigsmile*


The Photo:

Lovely capture through your lens. Those blooms are so perfect for the poem written along. The Bleeding Heart vine stands front and center showing off its red to purple petals. The background does not override the flower. It remains out of focus so the flower gets top billing.

The Haiku:

Traditional Haiku, 3 lines, 5-7-5 syllable count. Nature is woven into the lines.

However, besides the obvious Haiku format, this poem adds a clever message that reminds us that May is also the month of loss and sacrifice by our war heroes.

I LOVE how you took the bleeding heart plant and reworked it as a way to represent a purple heart. It does indeed have that aura surrounding it.


Great word choice within those 3 short lines. Wounded, hanging, spilling, overflowing ... the kind of words that paint clear pictures in this reader's mind.

Hauntingly beautiful! *Vine1*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

This image evokes such feelings of honor, sacrifice, bravery and sadness. Seeing such beautiful flowers from those who care, love, remember adds to the serene beauty of the captured photo.

The Haiku:

Traditional 3 line, 5-7-5 Haiku form.

Love that it meshes well with the photo. And, since Memorial Day is more than just a weekend for grilling, it reminds us to remember those who sacrificed their lives through their honorable service. *Salute*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our May Original Photo and Haiku contest! *Bigsmile*


The Photo:

Those are gorgeous blooms!Love how the camera captured their petals in such detail. It looks like they are pointing to the beauty and brightness of the blue sky above and watching the clouds in contemplation of some thirst quenching rain.

The Haiku:

Perfect click in the reader's mind between image and poem. The Haiku makes the reader want to visit with the lovely blossoms and linger a bit longer as well. I like the way the second line is formatted with the em dash used for a pause before the word "dinner." Dinner in fact is being paused. *ThumbsUpGreen*

Some moments in life are worth the extra time invested.

Good job!

Hello there, THANKFUL SONALI Now What?
This is a "The WDC Angel Army"  Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our April Children's Flash Fiction contest. *Bigsmile*

Initial Impressions:

Great title and brief description. A beautiful description of good times for children and loving mothers who help make those times special for the kids. *Smile*



RULES Followed:

Prompt Words Included and highlighted. *BoxCheckR*

Bunny *CheckO*

Basket *CheckY*
Tulips *CheckR*
Picket fence *CheckGr*
Piglet *CheckG*
Rain *CheckB*

Word Count given and within 500 word limit. *CheckP*

Further Thoughts:

I enjoyed the piglet character. He is one children could identify with. He hates going out in the rain, yet wants to play outside. His mother tells him to be creative, but he can't open and close an umbrella.


What I loved!

I loved that Pandurang the piglet used his mommy's shopping basket to place over his head to keep himself dry. Very creative! Great visual imagery there. I could picture the pig with the basket over his head and the opening handles used to see out of while he walked out into the rain. *Laugh*

Parting Thoughts:

His bunny friend's mom was very kind to the little piglet, and made him feel smart and special over his rain head gear for two It was done in such a way as to prevent the bunny friend from commenting on the strange head gear and hurting the piggy's feelings.

Yes, good moms, good kids, good friendship and a good story for children that will be enjoyed beyond the pages of a WDC audience. Library hour, perhaps? *Bigsmile*

Conclusion:

A fine story that should be read to children. Very expressive and picturesque.

Good job! *Pig* *Rabbit3*

First Impressions:

Charlie the Bunny is going on an adventure and he's taking us along with him. The reader is naturally curious about his impending adventure. *Ha*

Further Impressions:

Young children are on an Easter Egg hunt and filling their baskets. Luckily, the basket already contained a chocolate rabbit in cellophane. I say luckily since they would probably need extra energy searching for the colorful, hidden eggs. *Laugh*

Observations:

It is a Children's story. I would have liked to see a bit more interaction with the characters so a child could picture the bunny, see the piglet and bunny acting silly. A little action to attract the kids' attention if the story were read by them or to them. *Wink*


Parting Thoughts:

You followed all the rules. You made the bunny a visible character that the reader could picture. Those poor tulips! *TulipR* But hey, a bunny needs its salad.

Conclusion:

Good job weaving the prompt words into the story.

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering our Ides of Marsh contest in March. *Bigsmile*

Initial Impressions:

Johnny should have taken a guide! *Laugh*

Further Impressions:

I liked the weaving of terror, supernatural happenings, witchiness, swampiness and sheer mind-boggling fearsome imagery! *Shock2*

*BareTree3* You did a fine job taking your reader on a ride through the Bayou that is frighteneing.

*Vine2* You wove the imagery nicely into your story.

*Infinity* The Rougarou with the blazing red eyes added to the tale as a folklore Bayou creature.

Parting Thoughts:

The witch/ High Priestess, who turns into whatever pleases her fancy, scared Johnny deeply, but she only needed a promise from him and then would set him free to go back home once his injuries healed enough to do so.

Conclusion:

Snakes, alligators and Rougaru -- OH MY! *Scared*

Making a pact with a demon is never a wise decision. *Devil*

Good job! *Writer*

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

Initial Thoughts:

I enjoyed your Iambic pentameter ... mostly-ish, almost as much as I enjoy one without the "ish" part. *Laugh*

Further THouights:

This was bad, I mean really bad!

What I loved:

I loved these lines, but certainly not limited to them. *Ha*

"Cupid really screwed it all up,
Hitting me at Clem's BBQ.
Knocking me into that waitress,
Spilling baked beans all down her dress.
I think he meant to hit Cody Knox"

You show your ire for the putting Cupid on fire for his messing up your big plans with the waitress. I liked that! *Smirk2*

Parting Thoughts:

Loved the little inserts showing inner thoughts describing the character of the lady pursued. *Laugh*

Conclusion:

Bad, bad poetry ...good, good Slam to Cupid!

You deserve the rating you are getting ...

You did a fabulous job with the terrible poetry slamming Cupid hard. We like to see that kind of hate toward that sickly sweet lousy arrow flinger causing distress for those seeking love as Valentine's Day approaches.

These lines say it all!

Endless, feudal urge to merge,
lust sans culmination.
Cupid's just a cruel joke,
mocking my frustration.

With Cupid's lousy record on the job, this just goes to show ... You can't always get what you want.

Based on the bad poetry ... yeah, it had rhyme, but ...

1 *Star* is all it's worth! *Gavel*

Until next time--Slam on! *Smirk*

Review! *Angelic*

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

First Impressions:

The title leads the reader into a web of vexation from the February cupid of exasperation. *Ha*

The Annual Cupid Slam Poetry Contest's objective is to write the worst 1-star rated poem slamming Cupid.

Observations:

I think you went a little too easy on that diapered pest lurking in the month of February with arrows in his quiver and a bow at the ready to bring together couples to fall in love.

Your poem describes the flaws of Valentine's Day and the expectations, costs and disappointments rather than putting it all on Cupid.

"Cupid, the god of love and pleasure,
Is nothing but a love-sick treasure."

We are told about Cupid being the god of love and pleasure but not watching the arrows pointed at the creature who is behind all the love-sickness. He's the one who needed to be exposed with all the harshness you could dream up woven into the lines.

Pating Thoughts:

I actually thought your poem had great meaning about not falling for one day to need to fall in love or impress another. Love should come naturally. No huge expectations for one day of the year.

Conclusion:

Your poem is way too good to be marked with low star-rating. I liked it for what it stated. So, I'm giving you what your poem deserves rather than a contest driven 1-star rating.

See you nest year— Same time, Same Cupid Slam! *DartR*

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"  Thanks for entering our Cupid Slam contest in February.

First Impressions:

"Awdl Gywydd" Interesting. Never heard of it. This got my curiosity going forward as I read your terrible poem. *Laugh* I'm going to take a wild guess, 8 lines! *Ha*

Further Impressions:

Rules followed?

Write bad poetry and slam Cupid.*Check*

Word Count? Didn't see it, but Cupid may have taken it by force of arrow? *Laugh*

So happy to see nothing saying "stupid Cupid. That suggestion was taken. *Bigsmile*

Cupid is given some poetic lines about his terrible aim.

"The shaft digs into my brain
I scream with great pain and blurt
Out a poem from my butt "

Memorable lines that will haunt me forever! *Scared*

Parting Thoughts:

Terribly penned poetry in honor or horror of beastly Cupid. Close to hitting the mark -- but was it bad enough? *Smirk*


Thanks again for entering, and good luck. *GoLucky*

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 February Cupid Slam Poetry contest. *Bigsmile*

Initial Thoughts:

You didn't start with Roses are Red, Violets are blue! *Rolling* Absolutely gives the reader the rest of the story -- this poem is going to be just awful. And, that's the point of Cupid Slam. Need to strive for that 1-star rating!


Prompt Rules/Suggestions ...

Rules followed?

Slam that Cupid in bad poetry *CheckP*

Line Count? I don't know. It wasn't put inside the item, so I guess Cupid ran off with it. *Laugh*

Suggestion taken?

"Cupid Is stupid" Now this makes me cringe. *Mindblown*
Perhaps you should have taken the hint not to rhyme stupid with Cupid. It has been way overused in the previous years. *Sob*

Parting Thoughts:

You did a fine job at writing bad poetry. You blame a whole lot on Cupid for his bad aim. However you are grateful because even though he missed hitting you and the woman you love, the couple fell in love anyway without Cupid's help.

Conclusion:

Bad poetry. Tough competition this annual contest is. Close, but is it good at being bad enough?

Good points of slam, but letting Cupid off too easy. *Whistle*

However, the sappiness alone makes me feel *Sick* So, good job, there! *Laugh*


Until next time--slam 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 the Cupid Slam, bad poetry contest in February.

Initial Thoughts:

Cupid is described by the narrator as a sort of irritation that needs to be told to go away.

Further Thoughts:

The rhythm and rhyme work well in the couplets. The reader could feel the deep dislike toward Cupid.

Observations:

Rules followed, it's poetry, line count included. However, was Cupid truly slammed big time? I'd say not really enough. This despicable creature deserves more slamming to put him in his place. *Smirk*

Parting Thoughts:

Good poetry, not bad enough that it makes us cringe. More of suggestions to Cupid and a wish for his disappearance from this world.

Conclusion:

Since this a bit mild on the slam side, and the poem was well-crafted and quite melodious being matched to the tune "Please, Mr. Custer by Ray Stevens," I'm not going to plague it with a 1-star rating. It takes a long time to bring a better poem out of the hole when 2 few 1-stars have been given out.

It's too good to be "too bad." *Ha*

Thanks again for entering the contest.

Write on! *Quill*

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*
