Review of The Moment  
Review by ikagan
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
The idea of telling a story twice, form two very different point of views was a good one. If we read just one side we will get less then half of actual idea, together they really point out the lack of communication and understanding between Jack and Nate.
The two sides are so different that it really makes you think of our own relationships with family and friends.

Review of Reconciliation  
Review by ikagan
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
I cannot fathom how I would go on after enduring a loss as you have had. I think sometimes we depend on God to much. He is there but we still have our choices in life.
I'm not sure how to critique a piece like this, but I can say that i do feel your loss. It comes through in your writing.
Keep writing it helps.

Review of True Beauty  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.0)
It would be very hard to convince the youth of today that these words are true. We are bombarded by the print media, television and the movies in such a way to tell us quite the Opposite!
You have hit on a truth that sadly alot of people NEVER get. You have done so in a very eloquent way.

Well Done

Review of Spring  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (3.5)
Terrific little poem on Spring. Though it is Labor Day today and Spring seems so long ago, reading your piece helped me to remember when spring was first breaking.
I found your poem to be simple and elegant all at the same time.
Thanks

I would like to hear this with the music. This is a nice basic bit of poetry.
What you have hear i like, but it seems unfinished. i think it could use
another stanza to close it. Other then that I DO like it.
Are you a songwriter? I would like to see more of your work.

You conjure up a pretty tough image. Being a male who has never suffered from it myself or knowing anyone close to me who has suffered through it, it is difficult to understand. i have heard of it, read about it
but your writing seems to make it a little more personnal.

Review of Out with the old  
Review by ikagan
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Luesthra, huh, i have to remember never to ask a favor of her! I liked this story very much. It reminded me of an old tv show, the Twilight Zone. An interesting story angle with a twist ending.
The witchcraft angle was well written and made the story sound more beleivable.

Review of Rain  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (3.5)
How many people slow down to ponder the rain? Most people just rush to get through it and get out of it.
You have made us stop and look!
In a few scant words you painted us a picture of what we would see if we stopped running to get out of the rain.
Thanks

Review of Luck of the Draw  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.0)
A very thought provoking piece. I stopped a couple of times as I read to contemplate the words. Very well done!
You put some very interesting ideas into words that were very well organized, it makes you wonder about the whole idea of reincarnation. Thanks!

Let me start by saying argument aside, this is one of the best written pieces I have read on this website. It is clear and concise, and you make a great argument.
It is layed out in a very organized and convincing manner.

Review of Sea Storm  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (3.5)
You have made a very good attempt at capturing the sights and sounds of a raging storm. Your descriptions of the colors of the ocean did a very good job of helping me to picture what you saw, as well as to feel the emotions that you felt. It was a few minutes well spent.

thx

Review of Memories Unmade  
Review by ikagan
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
This really deserves a 5.0. It is so well written and composed that I read it many times just for the enjoyment. Then i thought about it and read it some more.

What if?, what if? his is a concept we all play with in our heads, a game to while away the hours, a way to day dream. Your poem is every one's thoughts at one time or another.

thanks!

A good story with a real Twilight Zone twist ending. This could be a very good story but you have to go back and fix all the spelling mistakes. In addition there were a lot of mistakes where you used the wrong word such as using pare instead of pair. Go back and rewrite, you have a good story here!

Review of The Night Man  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.5)
Whoa! Very good. Really well done! You set a dark stage from the get go, and keep it to the last goodbye.

Your description is both crisp and fitting to the theme and style of the writing. I wanted more!

You say it is being published in 2 books, congradulations it deserves it.

Review of Sincerely You...  
Review by ikagan
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
An evil love sonnet, very well done. You have captured
a dark love. I really had to sit back and think for a while, and i'm still not sure! I like that, to often a poem is just a simple statement, nothing more then a snapshot, this is different. This is good, keep writing!

Thischapter probably deserves a 5, it was that good. Loved the twist with the priest being Seamus' brother. Really nice tie in with some great verbal exchanges between the two.

The planning and the layout of the chapter was very good.

I am really enjoyong this.

Review of DIFFERENT PEOPLE  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.5)
WOW, I really liked this piece! It really makes you sit back and think. You have very beutifully asked the question of the day.

I like the way the piece flows, the question is put forth in a very well balanced poem. Keep at it as your talent is their.

Review of Heartbeat  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.0)
Short and to the point. That is what a poem is supposed to be to me. You have done a nice job of making your point, and a good one I must say.


It has a nice cadence that is steady and easy to read. The words are not forced they fit and more importantly they belong

WELL DONE!

Review of A Vision Unclear  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.5)
Wow, a very emotion packed piece of prose. You did a very fine job of translating your emotions and feelings into a well organized paragraph.

t is not easy to take these feelings and let them pour out on paper, but you have done so in a way that paints a nice but sad picture.

Very well done, keep at it!

Very well done! Characters are very believeable. Dialogue is also very well done. I feel like I am eavesdropping on the people as they speak to us.

It is a very interesting time frame tha you have chosen to stage your story in. I wil certainly looh for additional chapters to read!

Review of Lost Blooms  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (4.0)
Very nicely set up. The first paragragh set a beutiful tranquil scene. You fooled me, it then became sad and disturbing.

You pulled it together very nicely. I very much liked your sentence structure, it was very fitting to the style of the peice.

A cleansing little piece. A lot of very tough questions, asked in a very emotional and bitter way!
But I think everyone goes through it, but not everybody can write about it. You have touched on many things, but unfortunetly no one has any answers.

Though not really knowledgeable on military matters, I found your argument in favor of Submarines and their use in the Navy interesting and thought provoking. I guess with the conflicts that the U.S. has been involved in we do not think much interms of the Navy or submarine usage. But it was interesting and written in an orderly fashion. There were however many spelling mistakes you may want to go back and correct.

Review of Rockabee  
Review by ikagan
Rated: E | (5.0)
Just a great story! At first I thought I was reading another sci-fi story, but the true meaning came quickly. This is one of the finest stories I have read on this site to date.
It is well written, the way it is composed and put together I would say it is ready for publication anywhere!
Really enjoyed it.

Review of Bumble Boy  
Review by ikagan
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
A very sad story! I really felt for Jon. You did a terrific job setting things up. The scenes were well done. The dialogue also was very well done. You brought all four of the main characters to life, and gave them personnality. I have to admit you had me disliking his father from the start.

Well done!
