Hello,
I really liked this. You are consistent with the structure and keep every verse in its own subject matter, I felt this made me enjoy the poem more because I absorbed the mood and feeling in each verse which heightened these in the next one. You separated the sentences which again heightens by emphasizing. I like the overall subject and its a poem which takes you somewhere. It is something every artist can relate to! The repetition of feeling at the beginning of the verses could be changed for a better effect - maybe *hearing the breath..*.
Write on!

Hello,
I thought it was a very good story that keeps the reader hooked. Do you have a second part?
I like that you kept it simple and in short paragraphs. Perhaps you could have explained more of her feelings before the dialog starts, there seems to be not many aside from the spider. It was fun to read and very intruging. I congradulate your imagination :)
Good work, thumbs up.

Hello,
Its a nice short piece, nicely rounded at the end. I like the subject matter, it reminds me of my own experience. It has a lovely tone to it.
I thought that you set the scene very well and put across the image of him with skill.
Enjoyed reading it :)

Hello,
I thought that your tone was drawing and that the way you described Fredarica was highly encapsulating. Unforetunatly I could not bring the end of your story. Of course this is your story and you may create any such settings as you like, however I would like to say being of Turkish descent and having to study Ottoman history throughout my school years, that it would have been very unlikely that Ottoman pirate ships were attacking coasts of spain, because Naval supremacy was very undeveloped during Ottoman years and they were mostly dominant in the medditeranean seas rather than the south atlantic ocean as the British Naval force was quite dominant in those parts. I have to say that I have respect for your work as you are at a very wise age and compared to you I have a long way to go.
Thank you and sorry if any offense was caused.

This review is by my mother. Special to mothers day, (mothers day in Turkey)
I think its a very nice subject; everybody want to know how to be happy! It is answering the right question.
I like some of the descriptions, I agree with the fact that pets bring happiness.
And I also agree that nature is unbelievably extra-ordinary and that we have to listen to nature and see the colours and beauty without being absorbed into our daily routines.
And yet the strongest point is the ending! That helping others is the truest form of happiness, without expecting anything in return.
However, I found the some of the appliances to daily life, such as the dentist, unrealistic. I dont believe that anybody would have the imagination of feeling such deep feelings while in such an uninspiring and hard envoirenment. Of course you may think of these things, but i feel it is over-exageration to be completely be immenesd in them.
Its about attitude towards life as your title suggests.
Perhaps you could have extended your aspiring writing to happiness towards people who do not have a warm bed and a comforting pillow. Surely true happiness of contentment could be found by people who have an absensce of day to day luxuries that we are fortunate enough to live in.
Best regards
Ozlem.. (from the mind of my mother)
Hello,
I agree with what you are saying, that communism is an ideal way of governing but when put into to theory it always fails. I like that you have shown communism as not a mistake but a neccesary stepping stone for a better government. You could have gone into more detail regarding the points you make. And perhaps quoted from the book you mentioned to make it more interesting. Good Read. Keep posting.

Hello,
I have read this twice now. I like that the begginig carries you through the confusion of the charecter but this is relieved (to the readers content) halfway through the chapter by how the charecter ended up in the setting. I thought it was fun to read gave me a giggle at the part where you wrote "couldn’t they have given me the medicine before they decided to realign my limbs?"
The tone is conversational and suitable to the age I imagine our charecter to be.
The only thing I wonder is how you will be able to reslove the language conflict without involving a time lapse. But perhaps this will be explained by the many magical powers you put the foundations of in the first chapter.
These are only my views as a reader.
Looking forwards to the second chapter.

Hello,
I thought that the completeness in your poem was great. By this I mean how you went back to the start. To me it felt like a story of the end result. I thought the second verse was nice. I can tell it is a heart felt poem and it relates to experiences i have had. For my criticism i would like to say, although i dont know if it was on pupose, that you could have been more careful with your spelling especially in you heading. Also I feel that you could have submerged the third and fourth verse in one and made it even more beautiful as there is repetition of the same rhymes in boths.
