*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

You've really improved this piece since the last time I read and reviewed it.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical errors.

Personally, I still feel as though the character is too young for this story. This is just my opinion.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

It's a very intriguing start. There's so much that hasn't been revealed about the past and the land. I'm curious to know more about the charcter and the world he lives in. The end left me wanting to start the next chapter. I hope you'll post more of the story. Good job!

Keep writing!!!

*Cat*First Impressions*Cat*

I enjoy the rhymes. I wonder what your job is.

*Ghost*Questions/Suggestions*Ghost*

I feel pulled in two different directions when reading your piece,but, then again, sometimes life is contradictory. It seems like you do a lot and accomplish much, but you "twitter the hours away" and feel so alone.

*Witchhat*Overall *Witchhat*

The piece flows very well and your rhymes are done very nicely. I like the rhyme scheme. I felt a special draw to the first line of the fourth stanza. Work doesn’t nurture or nurse the fledgling It reminded me of my last job. I hope you're in a better place now. Good job!

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

In the seventh stanza, I think "I'd" should be "I've."

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

The piece flows very well and your rhymes are excellent. The last line was an excellent close to the piece. You've created a very interesting scene. Though it would be difficult for me to imagine, your images are vivid and it had a real feel to it. Excellent job!

The piece flows nicely and the rhymes are done well. I feel tired just thinking about all that work! I like how you point out that painting should be an event to be enjoyed. Even though it's hard work, we should have fun doing it. It's very true, and I find makes the work go faster. Great job!

Thank you for sharing what Halloween means to you.


*Ghost*Questions/Suggestions*Ghost*

None. *Smile*

*Witchhat*Overall *Witchhat*

I heartily agree with what Halloween means to you. It can be a such a fun time of year. I feel it's one day a year that we can forget ourselves a little bit and just have fun. With everyone in on the fun, we don't have to worry about whether or not will fit in or what others think. We can be more free. Great job!

Review of LOVE SONG

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

This is a lovely piece.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I would put a comma after 'now' in the third line. I wonder if you don't need a comma after the second 'hope' in the second stanza. I'm note sure what's technically right, but a pause there feels right to me.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

This piece flows beautifully. I can relate to the emotions expressed. You really tugged on my heartstrings. There's so much hope in the second stanza, but I feel the pull of time in the third and fear it will keep you separated. I like how you ended the piece with a question. You leave the answers and the next section open. Who knows what will happen in time? It helps keep that hope alive. Excellent job.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

My only question is why does the title start with "TBD:"?

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I love the alliteration of the character's name. The piece flows well and the rhymes are excellently done. I thoroughly enjoyed the introduction of the faery. I like the idea of being watched over. It's an excellent ending. Great job!

Review of July Morning

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

A lovely and patriotic piece.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

The first stanza doesn't match the rhyme scheme you follow in the other two stanzas. I don't have a suggestion on how to change it. I like the way the second and third lines flow and I'm not sure how you would change the last line to rhyme with "home."

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I enjoyed your descriptions. I could visualize all the activities associated with the Fourth of July. The piece flows well and the rhymes are nice. I especially liked the last two lines of the piece:
The sight of Old Glory waving bravely in the sky
Reminds us of the sacrifices made to keep freedom alive.

It's something we should keep in mind everyday, not just once a year. Great job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

I think we all can relate to this.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions/Comments*Idea*

The first half doesn't flow quite as well as the first. I feel like you're trying to find a rhythm and the questions you want to ask and it feels a little forced. It doesn't feel and fluid and natural as the second half.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I like the first/last line rhyming. I especially liked how you have the first and last lines of the first and last stanzas the same. It gives me the feeling of having come full circle. The second half flows really well. I felt myself getting swept up. I know I've asked the same questions at least a thousand times. I can really relate to the ideas you're expressing. Good job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

A very interesting piece.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I read it through a couple of times, and I'm still not sure what the subject of the piece is. What is "it" that you're describing?

In the last stanza, the last two lines don't feel quite right to me. It seems like a word is missing with the last line beginning with "to". Personally, I would suggest changing "to" to "you" or changing "once" and omitting the comma after "mask".

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

The piece flows very well and the rhymes are an excellent touch. There's a mysterious and dark quality to the piece that pulled me in. I enjoyed reading it, though I am curious and unsure about what exactly is the "it" behind the piece. Whatever "it" is, I hope to avoid it! You've painted the picture of darkness nicely and I definitely feel horror and dread in this piece. Good job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

A fun story in an entertaining form.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I looked up "xanthic" and "zoetic" and I'm still not sure I understand.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

Thanks for sharing this childhood memory. It reminds me of my cousin's ex-husband, who saw snow for the first time in his thirties. When you grow up with it, it's a normal part of the change of seasons. We sometimes forget what a magical thing snow is. I'm not sure I would call it a "poem" as each letter has its own sentence. It feels more like a short story. I like the idea of starting each line with the next letter of the alphabet though. It would be tricky to capture each one and make it work in the story (especially with q, x, and z). You've made it work. Good job!

Thank you for including a note about the form! The piece keeps true to the description of the form. It's an interesting form and I like the continuity the refrain lines add. I can see you wandering down the path in the picture trying to find your way. I can relate to the ideas and feelings you have expressed. Great job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

I like the flow and images.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I'm sure I learned this form in school, but I've forgotten. I think a little note about the form would be nice. What I found online shows the refrain being from the first part of the first line rather than the last part. I'm wondering if this is your take on it, making the piece fit better, or if I found a slightly different version than what you had.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I love the flow of the piece. Your rhymes are great. You've been very creative in making the piece work with the form. I like the humor in the piece. The story could have gone a much different way. Good job!

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

I didn't find any errors.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I didn't expect this story with the title. I like how you wove it around the full moon. It fits, but is an unexpected twist.

You did an excellent job in telling this story with so few words. I feel like I have a complete picture. The last line is a wonderful ending to the story. I like how you have it set off. It adds finality, though this moment would only be the beginning of a new chapter for her.

Great job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

A fun piece! Love the image.

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

You don't need the comma at the end of line one or the semi-colon at the end of line five. I would, however, suggest a comma after bright in the seventh line. In this line, it feels like a distinction is needed between the toys being bright and making noise. The first instances don't need the separation.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I love the way the piece flows. The rhymes are excellent. I like picture you depict and how people see things differently. It reminds me of my own cat. All the different toys I've bought for her sit. Boxes on the other hand... She can't get enough of them! I don't know what it is about an empty box that entertains her so. Great job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

The brief item description left me with questions. Who is "a Rockstar like Andy Biersack"? Who is Andy Biersack?

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I feel like there is a whole story behind this piece. It seems like you turned a little about halfway in. The first half seems like it will be uplifting and strong, but the second seems to go the other way. She seems to give in and give up. Especially the last line. I'm hoping you mean it metaphorically or that you die inside, not literally. At any rate, the emotion in this piece is powerful. I like the little bit of repetition in the piece. It helps tie the piece together nicely. The rhymes are an excellent touch. The piece flows very well. Good job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

*Idea*Questions/Suggestions*Idea*

There are a few of spots that could use a comma. Towards the end, "dieing" should be "dying."

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

I had trouble seeing the characters in the beginning. I did not expect the main character to be so very young. Some of it almost seems too young for such dark subject matter. Towards the middle and the end, it really started to pick up as I got accustomed to the characters and got a better feel for what was going on. This part ends just as I was sitting on the edge of my seat. I'm anxious to know what happens next. Good job!

*Note6*First Impressions*Note6*

Where does the "17 lines" come from? I counted 15 lines; five stanzas each with three lines.

*Note6*Overall *Note6*

The piece flows very well and the rhymes are great. I think it's interesting that the last stanza is so different from the rest of the piece. It shows how you've moved on. The first two stanzas focus on how you are losing him, the second two on his being lost, and the last stanza doesn't mention the loss. He's gone; it's over. I think it adds a lot of finality to the piece. It's actually my favorite stanza. I can feel the emptiness and loneliness of the night. Great job!
