Review of A Bad Father?  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Wow...I guess from that point of view, it would be hard to honor a Father who would let his children die in front of him. It would be hard for someone to understand how someone could love a person like that. The story is a tough one, and though I understand the point of view, I also understand (only in part...no expert, believe me) a little of God's point of view as well.
The storyoem is well written and executed. No typos or grammar issues. Excellent dialog between the characters of the story. A very good job! Keep on writing!

sincerely,
amy

Wow...That was a powerful piece. I still have goose bumps from reading it. Abuse is an ugly subject...even uglier to confront and conquer/overcome. Thank you for sharing this piece, and for the encouragement for others to do the same. To over come the shame and the guilt and to conquer. Even though it is an older piece...it is still relevant today. Excellent job!

I enjoyed reading your short story. The names were imaginative, and I could picture the story in my mind as I read it. I also liked the picture of the white buffalo that you used as the "hero" of the story. It was very exciting, with a bit of romance to boot. I liked how you made it sound like an actual story of the people. You have quite the imagination, and I enjoy reading your work! Keep up the great Job!

Review of The March  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
A well written short story about a tragic and horrifying time in history. You have definitely whet my appetite about the book "Night". I am a history buff, and I like the WWII time period to study. Thank you for including the footnotes at the end of your story, for the background and the promotion of the book. Well written, and I could picture the scenery in my mind as I read the story. No typos or grammar issues. The dialog was great as well. Keep up the great work!

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Amazing. The original "witch hunt" as it were. I liked how you put the quotes of the accused in the paper. Well written and executed. This was a turbulent and sad time in the history of Massachusetts. I also like how you posted a link to the website you used in your research. Well done! I saw no typos or grammar issues, although I am no expert. Loved this paper, and appreciate your sharing it. Keep up the great job, and Keep Writing! I look forward to reading more of your work soon!

You definitely have a way with words. I loved the style you chose for this poem. Always thinking outside of the box, and refusing to conform to anyone's ideas but your own. Thank you for allowing me to partake of your knowledge and for allowing me to think outside of the box as well.
Well done!

Review of The Forgotten One  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
This is so very sad. I cannot understand why this would happen to children. It breaks my heart to hear of somebody not treasuring a child. My only consolation, is that hopefully someone will consider the little boy a miracle for sure.
Grammar and typos no issue here. As always, the blue coloring of the words, so appropriate, not only for the little boy, but for the tone of the poem.

Well written and executed. Loved it, even though it was sad to read.

Great Job, as always,

amy

Review of Hourglass

I loved this poem. The visual picture of this poem is not only appealing, but appropriate. Very clever and well done. I love the last line of the poem. It's not the end, but the beginning of something new. I hope to apply that to my life as well...turning 50 next year, so I am excited about a new chapter in my life.
Thank you for sharing this.

Review of What you do to me  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Wow...I am blown away with this poem. You have a talent for putting words together. I hear the desperation and futility in the narrator's voice. The wishing, the longing, the hoping beyond hope. I especially liked the phrase "It's not that I hate her, it's that I love you". The narrator isn't wishing for ill to befall the woman, at least not physically. She just wants the fairy tale in her mind.

Well done! Keep up the great work!

sincerely,
amy

Review of My Dearest Friend  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
A beautiful and heart-felt tribute. I love the descriptors that you used to describe your friend, confidant, sister. I love the word "ridiculousities"..too fun! It's hard when you miss someone so much, and have come to depend on them. I'm very glad that you have been able to communicate some outside of WdC, although it isn't the same. Very touching. You did a great job with this. Keep up the great work! Keep Writing!

*LeafR* Nicely done! I like the centering and the color you used for the wording. I like the contrast between the colors of fall and the colors of the rainbow compared to the dreary gray cell. Poor choices led to this absence of color in the narrator's world.

*LeafR*No grammar issues or typos in this poem, and the rhyme and flow are excellent. A great job here. Keep up the good job! As always.

Sincerely,
amy

Review of Words  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing.
*PenP* My first impression: Hate it when writer's block sets in. Always trying to figure out what to put to the paper. I like the thoughts that went through your head as you figured out what to do. Almost like a hamster on a wheel, yes?
*PenO* The rhythm and flow of this poem is very good. It makes it easy to read. No typos or grammar issues that I can see to distract from the voice of the work. The spacing also works well with this...almost like a fight to put words - any words - on paper. Well done!
*PenB* I enjoyed reading your work, and I will think about this when the pen and paper act like the enemy instead of a friend. Keep Writing!

sincerely,
amy

Thank you for sharing this poem. The imagery is vivid and I can picture clearly the different things you are describing. I noticed a few words that you had highlighted, so I read the prompt that came along with your poem. Not only words to use, but words to NOT use as well. You did a great job following the instructions. It must have been hard!
A great image of the "dead" car in the first stanza...usually a car on the side of the road barely rates a glance, but you did an excellent job of describing it. I feel sorry for the mechanic who has to fix it...LOL.

The image of lightening is always powerful. I actually looked up the word "saguaros" to see what it means. Learn something new every day, and it gave the image even more clarity.

The light post was a sad image..."a light cut short". Very powerful imagery here. Very sad as well.

The last image was my favorite. Cuddling with a loved one on a snowy day...Smells of holidays in the air. My favorite part of this stanza was the last word: "home".
Very nicely done.

You had a pretty tough challenge to complete, and you did it with aplomb! I look forward to reading more! Thanks again for sharing.

sincerely,
amy

Review of First drum set  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
What a cute poem. I loved reading it. I shudder to think my daughter wants to give my grandson a drum set for Christmas (he's 4)! LOL

*Music2* My first impression: I like the different ways the little boy is portrayed...at a beach, at home, with his drum set. I also like how you captured the little boy with the imagery...sucking his thumb, laughing and playing with his friends, and "banging on the drums". I chuckled about the mom wearing earplugs...sounds like a stocking stuffer gift for sure if my daughter gets Mason the drum set! It is cool of the mom to allow such a noisy outlet for talent. Thank you also for the little backstory at the end of the piece. It's cool to hear about what inspires someone to write.
*Music2* I liked the rhythm and flow of the poem. I also liked how you repeated the phrase "because he can". Definitely a great description of a little boy doing what he does. I saw no grammatical problems or typos in this free form style poem. A smooth flow, and a great read! Keep up the great job!

sincerely,
amy

Thank you for sharing this piece.
*Music1* I haven't listened to new music in a long time, either. It's just easy to turn the radio on to the Oldies station. {60s and 70s). I liked how you found something that caught your attention, and you were willing to "dig and dig" for it. I agree with you that music should be free (but at the same time, an artist shouldn't have to starve...lol). I am glad your perseverance paid off. Nowadays, if something catches my ear, I go to youtube first. After reading your paper, perhaps I should be a little more open to listening to new music.
*Music2* Your paper was well crafted. I enjoyed reading it very much. I saw no grammar or typos to distract me from what you were saying. Thank you for putting the link to the song in your paper as well. I also liked your definition of soul music. I really didn't understand the concept of the genre before. It has been awhile since I've really sat down and listened to music. Perhaps it will inspire me for writing. Again, thank you for sharing your experience. A very good paper!

Review of Bloodlust

Very dark and chilling poetry. I still have goosebumps. Very much mindful of Jack the Ripper stories. Vivid imagery. Even the red wording looks as if written in blood. Haunting, as the souls that haunt the murderer. No typo or grammar issues to cloud the darkness of this piece. Well written! Thank you for sharing!

Review of Dear Me (2015)

Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Very clever! I smiled the whole way through, and to be honest, I am glad that "Ms. MemyselfandI" hasn't sued MY butt off...for pretty much the same things. It is this one's humble opinion, that you take care, as "Jeff is Christian Grey" sounds like a bit of a trouble maker.
A well written and thought out letter. Formatted and platformed to highest standards. No typos or grammar issues in this letter. (Kudos to the secretary!)
Thank you for sharing this, and for giving me a smile. Well done, as always!

This was an amazing work! Very clever, and very funny indeed! I liked the choice of the names for your characters, and even for the restaurant. The form is free style, and the centering on the page is appealing. No typos to distract from the flow of the piece. The bet was comical, and the Glib reminded me of a volcano with a cork in the top. The imagery you painted is excellent. I enjoyed reading this work greatly, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future! Keep Writing!

Review of It is Dark  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing this.
*ButterflyB* My first impression: A poem of suffocating darkness. No way out and the wall seems to mock any attempt at cries for help. But all is not lost as the final lines state: "The Well of Despair is not broken by wishes, and a small light appears".
It takes work to get out of the "well"...determination and a strong desire to get out.
*ButterflyO* I see no typos or grammar issues here to detract from the easy flow of the poem. Nicely written. The hope here is a light, even though a small one. Amazing how brightly hope shines when darkness looms heavy. Keep up the great work. I look forward to reading more of your work!

Review of Chains Of Life  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing this work. Thank you for also explaining the form of your poem as well. Definitely a dark piece. I can feel the weight of the chains that are spoken of, as well as the darkness pressing in. Vivid detailing in the words you use. It is insidious how the dark voices tempt you to just give in and let go...The last phrase makes me wonder if the narrator did give in with the light fading to grey...
I like the eye-appeal of the centering of your poem. No punctuation used, except for the last line of the third and fifth stanzas. No typos to detract. An excellent poem.

OMG! I haven't laughed so much in quite a while! This piece cracked me up! I love the tongue-in-cheek answers to the questions, and throughout the overall article. It is well written, sarcastic, humorous, and just downright funny all rolled up into one. The question "where is love?" is an age old question...and I think everyone has wondered about it at one time or another. Thank you for sharing this bit of sunshine. I love your attitude (pardon the pun)!

I read this poem and then read it again. You like to center your work, which is very eye-catching. The words you have written - beg, perhaps command the reader to listen to you, as you explain why you write. Gripping words, agonizing words, confidence bordering on arrogance. The passion that drives your writing. It is something you MUST do and cannot get away from. Excellently done. I now want to read more of your work, and read carefully. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Nicely done. I'm not sure which yellow flower you were talking about, but the title caught my eye. My favorite flower is the yellow rose. That's what I want to be remembered with.

Simple poem, but very sweet tribute. Nicely painted image with your words. I also liked how you contrasted her day being done with the rise of the new-born sun. No typos or grammar issues. Excellent work here. I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

Ohhh...this was so sad to read. It broke my heart. I liked how you centered the short story in the middle of the page. Eye-catching and appealing. The picture you chose to go with the story is excellent. You painted a vivid picture of a mother and son together, holding each other. The promise of hope mingled with the bitter-sweetness of memories. Well done. Even now, I'm trying not to cry thinking about this story.
