I loved this piece - it had this great sentimental value = and I really appreciated it - you could identify with the main characters = and I was hoping that there would be more - so that I could follow their newfound relationship - This piece was well written and easy to follow.

Review of Depression  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I really liked this piece - and I agree with you - that writing about one's pain will touch somebody else - my poetry has been my refuge - for the varying emotions that I often feel - I think writing is a great salvation for the pain that we feel - and you have done this so beautifully - your expression is perfect - and from a poetic standpoint, this is written excellently.

Review of Sweat Lodge  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I really liked this a lot - I do not know much about Native American history, etc., but reading this in the piece was lovely. Your descriptions and imagery bring this whole culture to life. I liked how you brought in the other sources as well - it was a great educational experience.

I really liked this poem - it reeks of emotion and I identify with the protagonist - the formatting and rhythm of the poem are excellent and make it easy to navigate the piece. Your paragraphing is good, but somehow I might have split the paragraphs up a little more - that might just be a personal thing.

This is really amazing - it is a pleasure to read such family values in a time when we wonder if they exist -what made you choose the pseudonym that you have chosen - I am Jewish - and I thought that monks do not marry - that being said - I really liked this piece a lot.

Review of Dressed Up  
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
This was an interesting piece - and you cerainly grasped the imagery very well - I know of a lot of heterosexual women who have found solace in lesbian bars - even if they do not identify themselves as lesbians - my only comment on this piece is regarding the punctuation and paragraphing - both of which I think need to be in the poem to tighten the piece up just a bit.

Review of Hold Me Close  
Rated: E | (4.0)
I really liked this piece - it was written well - and it exuded a lot of emotion - I could really feel the angst and desperation - and yes I identified with it immensely - from a poetic standpoint it had good rhythm and flow - I just would comment that there should be some punctuation - and the singular I is capitalized - particularly in a piece as intense as this.

I hate to sound silly - but this sounds like a plot from the Seinfeld serues - but seriously - this is a great piece of work - it is well written - and gives the reader a lot to ponder over - I struggle with writer's block - and it frustrates me when I can not write - but you have made the difficult seem simple - and in an elegant way.

Review of Silence Calls  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was a really nice piece - I am not familiar with this genre - and would love to know more about it - I liked the way you had the silenc talking - italicizing what it was saying as if it was an animate object = I could feel the silence through your descriptions and imagery.

I was very moved by the title and commentary of this poem - when I read it I was not disappointed - your imagery and description are really good - and your rhythm and flow are great - the message of the poem is so true - and could be used as a mantra for a lot of people.

I really liked this piece - and I was grateful for the glossary at the bottom - I think that we all meet eccentric individuals such as the protagonist that you describe in this story - and despite, or in spite of everything we are enamored by them. Your character description is flawless, and this piece was so much fun to read.

Review of Father's Day  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Oh how I identified with you - I hate father's day - since my father died - and I had such a special relationship with my dad - this piece reeks of emotion - and I can feel your relationship that you had with your father = the imagery is really special - and the formatting and structure are just great.

I really liked this piece - I am a traditional Jew - and though I do not believe in Jesus the way you do - I really identified with this piece immensely - it gives great hope to those who feel lost and are looking for a sense of deity in their life. You are a very good writer and from a literary perspective, this is beautifully written. You show your true religiosu passion.

I think this is a great idea = I did not know that you wanted us to do this - for me, this website has reinvented my writing passion and made me rediscover my sanity = I am so grateful for this - and would like to help in whatever way that I can - I am not sure I know the best way - but I will try.

Review of Expression  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This was a brilliant idea - it is food for thought - and on a writing website, it is even more powerful - your expression, through this exercise, and through your work, has inspired me tremendously to write even more = so, I truly appreciate what you have done.

Review of On Being Thankful  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
This is sensational - you are a great writer - and you are particularly great when you write from the heart = I identified so much with the piece, even though I have limited things in common with you - but I liked the quote and realize that it is something that can motivate me when I can get into my borderline personality space.

Review of I'm So Thankful!  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is great - I liked the content of the piece = we need to constantly remember things that we are thankful for - it is easy, particularly in this day and age to go amiss about that - I liked the formatting of the piece - the acrostic formulation

Review of Winter Bloom  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
This was a very moving piece - and the picture that goes along with it is equally as moving - there is an intensity to the piece that is tough - making it emotional and painful to read - and giving the reader an ability to identify with the writer. I liked this very much

Review of They  
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is an interesting poem - I like the way that you use the word they - it almost has a liturgical feel to it - the imagery is really good - you can feel the build up - and you wonder who the reference you are referring to is. I really like your work - and look forward to reading more of it

I really liked this piece = I work with the formerly and presently homeless population - and I do not envy your position - but I empathize totally with you and give you a lot of credit for your journeys - you depict this beautifully on paper and I am glad that I read it - I look forward to reading more of your work

This is a great piece - I love all of the work that you do - this piece has loads of emotion and spirituality in it - and I can identify immensely with it - I grew up in an Orthodox home - and I relied on Gd for a lot of my strength - as an adult, I have redefined my relationship with Gd to a place that works for me - and that is OK - your journeys in your life are a true inspiration to all that read your works - this particular piece was beautifully written and a pleasure to read

This was a good piece = based on this picture - it is interesting how you were able to get so much from a picture - your sense of 'imagination' is great - and you were able to express yourself eloquently, and in a manner that was fun and easy to read

The imagery of this poem was great - - In looking at the inspiring picture = it was all brought to life - there was a nice emotional undertone to this which I really appreciated - you showed how this image and all that it encompassed, took you from one mood to another

This piece is great too - I can not wait to read the continuing story of your aunt - your aunt is at that awkward stage of the illness - where she has some awareness of what is happening to her - and that is a cruel trick - a lot of the alzheimer's patients th at I have seen were so far progressed that they did not know what was happening to them - it only 'destroyed' their family and friends who watched this - I give you so much credit for all that you have done - you have written something so eloquent with so much dignity - and brilliantly written from a literary point of view
