Review of Poem II  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (4.5)
I feeling the sentiment. I can relate, as we adults all can, the eagerness to grow up as a child. Fooled by the longing to be free to make our own choices and live our own life. When we wake up one day after we are grown and realize it was an illusion of freedom, but the freedom we now seek is what we used to have as a child. No responsibilities, cares, worries.
The poems point was clear. It was worded well.
I, however, had a hard time reading it in the structure it is in.
It's possible just a personal preference as to lay out, but maybe toy with it a little to see if it reads easier by changing the structure.

No spelling mistakes I can see.
It stuck to topic. It is well thought through.

It's good. Just the above issue is all I can find for possible improvement. ;)

"Behold, Heaven is at hand."

We are so close to heaven that we don't even realize it.
The veil was torn we are given direct access to God.
The world has forgotten all that He has done, and what it was for.
This poem, and many like it should serve to remind us that we are His children and He waits for us in Heaven.

Most of the world has forgotten. I am glad to know there are still a few who worship Jesus.

Nicely done!

Review of Summer's Ire  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Never thought I'd read a poem "against" summer.
Nicely done!

I love summer until the heat waves, then it can kick a bucket.

I don't see anything I could advise you to add or change.

Review of Jesus Is Lord  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (4.5)
I can totally sympathize with the depression and the new welcoming of Jesus Christ as Lord after living in the depths of a life that felt void.
Yes,it's great to wake up in the mornings alive, but it is even more wonderful to awaken from a state of being that held you captive and squeezed life from your bones.

Jesus is wonderful! and I know what you have written will speak to others who have went through this - or even possibly going through this today.

This made me laugh!
It's pretty short. I scrolled past it when I looked to review it for I write in March.
I would be the first to say I'd be tick is hubby packed me up and toted me away.
4.5 stars cause it is so short.

I love it when goods plans come together! It must be obvious to allot of people that you like to review and that takes a special kind of person to give reviews that are honest as they are helpful. Review others work is a sensitive thing but it is something every writer seeks, even if they find out it needs work. The idea to work a becoming better is in all of us. People like you who do this for us make us all better writers! Thank you! Thanks to all those like you who love to do this same thing!

Review of THE SIXTH SENSE  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (4.5)
A strong poem of women looking for honesty.
The love that she longs to know breaks down when the intuition kicks in she senses his heart isn't in it.

It has a great flow and depth.
I really enjoyed this. It makes me sad that the woman is sensing insincerity in her lover.

This is a sweet and inspirational story. What a great adventure that those kids had! All too often kids with allot of creativity get labeled ADHD because they are bored. They are not challenged and can not find the outlet they need to release their restless energy. Sometimes drawing is also another way for those with this attention disorder to find positive release.
I loved that Sophie got attention out of this adventure too. I love animals. I am glad she was given a job to have human interaction too.

Review of My December  
for entry "Never Again
Review by lee.
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
I never thought of the stories that run through my head when I listen to music. I never thought of writing them out.

This is a great idea the way you did this. It connects the words of the music to a story out side of my own imagination.
Smart idea :) Might try this sometime myself !

I wasn't sure I'd like this when I read it had a personal name in it. - just not my style.
However. I Liked this very much! It had an unexpected ending that made me forget about the misgivings at first .

Review of Iniquity  
Review by lee.
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Beautiful.
I have an issue with "homeless" people swindling for their next drink. I would rather take them to get food than give them money.
My own treatment, and eye rolling is not the way Christ would have us be, and I don't excuse myself. I only wish there was someway to help with out encouraging them a way to get their next fix. To help knowing they are honest in their needs.

Yes, your poem struck a deep nerve. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

I enjoy the way all of these have a theme in common. It's easier for me to see that there is more that the author thinks about then just a 5 line poem.
No offense to the writing style I just find 5 lines hard to do emotion any justice.
However, placing several different poems in one page, and with the same kind of theme, helps me to read more between the lines.

You did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing!

Well You have just put into words what I have been going through with an old friend myself. If this were a published song I'd want to dedicate it too her.
It is beyond confusing when you have a relationship with someone and out of the blue things change and you can't even get them to talk to you to get things worked out.
You did a wonderful job! Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work!

Review of How To Get Viewed  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Great Tips!

There is something I would add too #11.
When you write a review you are doing the author and yourself a favor by making the review Public.

I never thought about doing something of these things...
Like adding other items along with your regular genre.
Thanks for sharing your advice!

Review of Troubled  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (4.5)
I think allot of us have the same feelings but have the most interesting ways of describing them!
This holds your attention from the beginning.
It is really good work!

I stumbled when I hit this sentence though.
Once I stopped and read it without the comma, I could see what it was saying.
I suggest a Comma after 'everyone' , Erase the one after 'time' , and add a Comma after 'another'

>> For everyone ^, at one time{,} or another ^, is one.

Keep writing!

Review of hold the world  
Review by lee.
Rated: E | (4.5)
This has a great message.
There are a few things I would do differently so it would have a stronger impact.
Please don't be offended.
I have erased certain things and injected [my words] and thoughts.
You are welcome to use my suggestions or take them with a grain of salt.

Either way you chose, Keep writing!

I mess up consistently
[I can't] do anything right

I only think of myself
[wanting to] please my own foolish, selfish pride

I hold you in my right hand and in my left i hold the world

I'm not worthy [of your love]
and I continue to let you down

[Yet] you still rescue me

I'm sorry [Lord]

I can't help but wonder how long * before I [truly] realize that you are my all

Jesus, please don't let me hold you in my right hand and in my left still hold the world

Review of Beauty Is Itself  
Review by lee.
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Women today have become more more focused on the way a person should look. How They Should Look.
In every magazine, commerical, and billboard there are perfect smiles, hair, and unflawed bodies.
In impractical achievement for even the models to reach!
It doesn't take name brands and high end shoes to make a woman.

A woman is beauty. There is nothing more beautiful then a woman with confidence in who she is.
Without hiding behind a skin and bones body, while inside she is screaming for love!

Truely original! Grateful that some people have the courage to speak about the stupid things that others view as beauty!


nothing needs changed that I can see


thanks for sharing!

At first I was thinking that you might have been talking about the statue of liberty. I know silly me.

When I got at the end and realized what you were refering too it made alot more sense to me!
I am just slow at get the idea of another persons writing!
But once I had the right Idea and reread it, it makes perfect sense!
This is really good!

I like the whole "pine-plank door" that is real nice way to blur the idea of a casket.

Thanks For sharing!

It is inspiring to find the truth you seek in your life.
Even when you don't know that is what you are looking for.
I know it is like a magic pieces to a puzzle you didn't know you were missing pieces from.
If It just were so simple so everyone to find that open door and to live in peace of true unconditional love.

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed it!
