Review of The Encounter  
Review by Caldera
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
This was a beautiful display of emotion. Loss is always painful and the other side is not always thought of, in terms of how they react and feel. In this poem I feel that the loss that the girl feels after her death, and I understand why she waits in a place that she held fast in her heart. Very well done, keep up the great writing.

Review of Six Feet

It sounds like you have had to face a challenging time in your life and make some tough decisions. I feel that there was a lot of anguish leading up to this poem. Since it was your first poem since fourth grade I would guess what ever you went through was very difficult, to make you want to write this poem. The words are simple and strong, they represent a thought process, with reason and logic involved. In the end the decision to write this poem may have helped sort out what was causing the grief and anguish. I guess I took it as a poem of hope in a time of despair.

This poem reminds me of my Stepfather, who would fully appreciate the sentiment. I can picture the man in the grocery store scratching his head hoping he chooses the right products. This was a great little anecdotal poem, I liked it very much.

This was a very beautiful poem. The meaning of solstice is one that we don't often hear of. I applaud the use of a noted Christmas poem, since the holiday of Solstice was adapted by the Christians and made into Christmas. The poem really touched my heart and I enjoyed it very much. I have no critiques for grammar or spelling. My only thought is I wished the Kings could have been referred to by name. But the meaning of the poem is what matters and that is what was captured, Great job.

The story started out strong, with details, and reasoning. describing the reason for the party at the hotel, and why she was running late. Why she would have to park in a deserted parking lot. But there was no reference to where the voices were coming from, or why they were significant since she died of natural causes. her husband heard her on the phone, or did he? Was he coming there because she had not shown up? The story becomes vague and ends abruptly, leaving the feeling of it was all just a dream, since it is being told in the first person. I am expecting to hear, "....and then I woke up, and was grateful I didn't work for the number one magazine after all!" Had this been the ending I would have understood it better, I think.
