Review of Transformation

*Blush* Hello, 🌕 HuntersMoon ! I'm here to give you~

*Star**Note**Star*

*Mushroomr* Title: The title "Transformation" really doesn't fit for me. I actually feel that something with the words "hunter" or "snow" would make for a better title. Though, that is just this reader's opinion.

*Mushroomr* Prompt: You chose two prompts: wolves and the huitain form. Both were done well. For using these prompts, you will be awarded 1,000 GPs and 1 ticket to "Invalid Item" . Please check "Invalid Item"  for your ticket number.

*Mushroomr* Body: This is a really well written and thought out poem. I love the way you describe the wolves as they get ready to go in for the kill. The fact that you didn't name the victim as a particular animal (human included) adds to your poem dream like quality. The only thing I didn't like about your poem was the last line. It just didn't fit as well as the rest of the poem. I wonder if it's because it's similar to the first line, but just with the crimson wet added? Either way, I'm not entirely sure why it bothered me, it just did and I thought I'd let you know. (It could also just be the "..." throwing me off).

*Mushroomr* Form: The form you used is the Huitain, which is a wonderfully lovely and short form.... which totally goes well with what you've written here.

*Mushroomr* "Dark" Factor: This has an eerie kind of "cool" darkness to it.

*Mushroomr* Errors: None!

Great job! Thank you so much for entering my contest and for sharing your work with me. Good luck.

"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, Poetic Dragon ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Mushroomr* Title: The title, "Revenge of the Wolf", just doesn't fit for me. The reason it doesn't seem to fit all that well, is because this poem is mostly about the transformation of the speaker rather than him getting revenge. I'd suggest you try something different.

*Mushroomr* Prompt: The subject prompt "Wolf" was used. This would have won you a custom signature from my shop, but since you do not have an upgraded membership, I will be rewarding you with 3,000GPs instead.

*Mushroomr* Body: This poem is mostly about the transformation from man to wolf. I would have liked to see you show us rather than tell us how this transformation took place. Also, there is a small mentioning of the speaker's family being killed and something about revenge. However, I was under the impression (since he turned wolf on that same night) that it was he who killed his family. Thus, where does the revenge come in? There's a bit of confusion in this poem. I think you need to take another look to make sure you're getting what you want across to the reader.

*Mushroomr* Form: Free verse form which fits well, if only the author would take advantage of it and give us some more imagery of the transformation or revenge.

*Mushroomr* "Dark" Factor: I like some of the imagery you included, like the bones crackling. More imagery of the night sky would give us a darker tone.

Review of Counting Cars

"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, J. P. Davis ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Mushroomr* Title: The title, "Counting Cars", is general, but very important to the poem. Thus, I believe you've done well in naming this piece. Though, something a bit more morbid or having to do with the main character might fit better. I imagine that the main character had something similar to schizophrenia. Something along that line as the title might make it clearer to the reader.

*Mushroomr* Prompt: None used.

*Mushroomr* Body: I liked this. It read more like prose than a poem though. Just my opinion. I think you did a wonderful job portraying the fact that there was something wrong with the speaker besides just drinking, especially if he is hearing voices. The fact that something like this happened because he listened to the "bad" voice is saddening, but it's something that could honestly happen. Just goes to show you shouldn't always assume before checking out the facts. *Thumbsup* Nice lesson.

*Mushroomr* Form: You have some rhyming areas while some areas don't rhyme at all. It's an interesting format, and one that seems to work for this poem. The flow is consistent. Great job.

*Mushroomr* "Dark" Factor: This is nicely laced with darkness, due to Satan's hand in all of this. I do think we could have seen more of the voice in the beginning and end, but that's just me.

*Mushroomr* Errors: You say that the speaker pulled out his gun and shot... THEN he aimed. This doesn't make sense to me. It feels as if events aren't in the right order, thus I think the middle set of stanzas need to be looked at for consistency.

Suggestions:

*Xr* It has its way of perverting reality and turning circumstance into a clever joke.
This didn't read well to me. I'd suggest: "...and turning a circumstance into a clever joke."

*Xr* We are all just characters our tragedies set to thicken the plot.
I believe there may need to be a comma after "characters" and before "our".

*Star**Note**Star*

Thank you for entering my contest and allowing me to read such a wonderful poem. I truly enjoyed reading your entry. Good luck!

This poem is rather sad, as everything within it was a dream to the speaker. It's easy to tell how much of an effect the dream had on the speaker, how emotional it was for her. The speaker seems to give up hope of ever finding love at the end, saying that it is only a dream. Hopefully, the speaker does one day find her love, because I believe there's someone out there for everyone. It's just hard to find them.

This poem, in free verse, is excellently written. There's good flow, and everything makes sense. The format is also essential to this poem's tone, which is somewhat frantic and dream like. Great job! I have no suggestions for this piece. *Smile*

*Star**Note**Star*

Keep up the great writing!

Review of Emotion

*Blush* Welcome to WDC, Jess ! I hope you're enjoying your stay here so far. Here comes~

No, I don't think you can live life without emotion, or without knowing what love feels like. Love is something essential for all beings, in my mind, and your poem certainly shows this and more. ALL emotions are essential, because that make us who we are. They shape our very beings.

I do think the title could use some work.... since this poem seems to be more about emotions AND love than just emotions in general. Also, some imagery would definitely help this piece. For the most part, this was well written and an enjoyable read. Well done!!!

P.S. I'd suggest putting the LAST line in quotation marks because that is not your own words (it's been said before by someone, though at the moment I can't remember who exactly).*Inlove*

Suggestions:

*Bullet*Without experiancing the warm fuzzy feeling you get when taken into an embrace.
"Experiancing" should be "experiencing".

*Bullet*Its true that not all emotions are ones you desire to have,
"Its" should be "It's" (it is).

*Bullet*but through the tears and the heart ache and the overwhelming sense of loss you realise that by experiancing such sorrow you
"Experiancing" should be "experiencing". Also, "realise" should be "realize". Another thing: I'd like to suggest you make this line two separate lines. Ex.
"but through the tears and heart ache, and the overwhelming sense of loss,
you realize that be experiencing such sorrow you become a stronger person."

Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

This story is quite intriguing. I had no problems following along. From the very start, I was interested and couldn't stop reading until the very last word. *Thumbsup* There were a few oddly constructed sentences, but with a few re-reads I'm sure this piece will be even better than it is now.

I felt the characters were pretty believable, except for maybe during the attack scene. It just seemed a tad odd, like there should have been more to it or something. But all in all, this is a well written and executed story. I can't wait for more! (No errors noted).

Review of The White Coffin

*Blush* Welcome to WDC, InksDepth ! I hope you're enjoying your stay here so far. Here comes~

*Star**Note**Star*

For a sample, this is pretty good. I was able to follow along for the most part, though, at times, your sentence structure was a bit awkward. You could also use some more imagery. I felt that it would be best not to talk to "you" either, since it takes the reader out of the story, which is the most important thing right now. (And it also seems that those are only a few instances in which it is used, which makes it unimportant to the story).

Other than that, though, this was well written. I also thought the main character was believably portrayed. I wanted to know more about the coffin, and the reason why it was white. *Thumbsup* You hooked my interest! Great job.

P.S. I'd also suggest breaking your story up into paragraphs so that you don't scare away the reviewers. *Blush*

Suggestions:

*Bullet*Of course, I expected the strenuous activities, the crap I have to take from the higher-ups, but I never thought it would be more requiring than there are hours in a day.
This is a rather long sentence. I'd suggest breaking it up into two sentences. Also, because of the curse word, I'd suggest an 13+ rating for thie piece. And lastly, here is a rewrite for the latter part of the sentence: "but I never thought it would require more work than there are hours in a day."

*Bullet*As first, I thought I saw Shane in his top bunk, but the contours of the shape were rigid and blocky.
Should "As first" be "At first"?

*Bullet*Piercingly, I awoke in my bunk, just as I had been laying before peering the white coffin.
The word "piercingly" is not needed. I would remove it for a smoother read.

*Bullet*But something froze on me.
I believe "on" should be "in", since there's no indication of something freezing on top of him.


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

Keep up the intriguing writing. *Heart* You've got something here!

I feel that this would be a wonderful poem if properly written. There are a great deal of awkward lines and grammatical errors. If it weren't for them, I probably would give this poem at least a 4. But, due to those errors, I'm having to lower my rating. I'm not sure if English is your native language, if not, please let me know and I'd be happy to help you with the grammatical problems (or even if you are a native English speaker, PLEASE let me know if you'd like me to do a line by line edit. I'm more than willing).

I like the message of your poem. It's beautiful: the idea of giving yourself over to the beauty of life and love. You have some wonderful images within this poem as well. Great job.

This is a wonderful tribute to soldiers in general, and the fact that they'll do anything to protect what is important to them. I thought, in general, that this was well written (except for the word "wain" which should be "vain"). My one complaint is the mention of martians.. it just seemed out of the blue and odd. If this is going to be about fighting martians, I think they should be mentioned earlier in the poem. Otherwise, if possible, I'd suggest taking it out and replacing it with something more general.

Thank you for sharing these lyrics with me! They are well done and emotional. Great job.

What a sad poem. But it does definitely show that a home is anyplace you stay the night at. I always find myself calling a hotel "home" when on vacation, so no matter what the state of the place, it could still be a home when you're with people you love.

I adore the imagery you've used in this piece. It's fantastic. I also had no trouble following along until:

"The roof drips, the floor sinks,
You’ll never suspect
For lips on their way out
Sing sweet songs along."

Everything else made sense to me. You've got a unique style... the rhyme scheme, though hard to see at first, is a wonderful addition to your already wonderful poem.


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

For a poem, this is a rather unusual structure. It looks a lot more like prose or a short story. If this is indeed a poem, I'd suggest using line structure rather than paragraphs in the middle. It would make it easier to read. But honestly, I'd rather suggest you turn this piece into prose. It fits a lot better for the type of writing included, which is abstract at best.

Since this is not under prose, I'd like to bring up some points. First, this is a very imaginative and interesting poem. I like the imagery and the feeling bursting out of every "sentence". However, some things are just too ambiguous and confusing. The way you use improper grammar/punctuation is also quite distracting and takes a lot away from you poem. If you were to correctly structure it (in more ways than one) I think this would make for an EXCELLENT poem.

If you need further help with this, let me know and I'll do some line by line edits for you or give you an example of what I mean (depending on what exactly you need help with). Other than what I mentioned, I really enjoyed how surreal this poem was (though I'm not sure how your description meets up with the actual poem). You've got an intriguing style.


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

I absolutely love how well this flows. It's fantastic. Your word choices are also great, and the way the speaker seems like a stalker/obsessive lover is intriguing. This is someone who won't take no for an answer and who will never let their love go, no matter what.

I do think this piece could have been longer and under the "Prose" category. If we had some more imagery, that would also be a step up. But other than what I've mentioned, you did a fantastic job and I enjoyed reading your work.

Your forceful tone is excellent and fits right in with how the speaker is portrayed through her/his words.

This tale is a bit short, but it's packed with a lot of emotion. It's terrible what Tomas had done to the victim, but in my mind he's getting what he deserves, and it seems he thinks so too. His apologetic demeanor is not lost on me though, and I do feel bad for him. He made a mistake that will forever change his life.

It feels as if "fog" is repeated way too much, and there could be more description of the "accident". It feels as if the story might have been rushed a tad, and thus, I believe that it would benefit from being lengthened.

Other than that, though, I did enjoy the story. It just needs to be filled out a bit and it would be even better than it is now. Keep up the great work. (Without a longer story, it just doesn't seem as believable, nor as emotional as it could be).

What a cute poem! This would be great for a Halloween children's book. It's a rather short poem, so I think you could extend it a tiny bit. You could also use some imagery to really show us those creepy vampires! Also, watch your capitalization, and maybe add some punctuation to this piece. Other than that, just adding imagery and making this longer would improve the poem.

Love is, indeed, many of these things and more. First off, I want to ask something... is this a poem? If this is a poem, you should indicate it as such by removing "Other" as its item type and replacing it with "Poetry". Secondly, if it is poetry, I'd suggest dividing up the paragraph into lines. This way, it will read much more smoothly. Last, I think this would make for a great LIST poem. If you add even more things love could be, that would make it just about perfect.

Other than what I mentioned, I did find some grammatical/spelling/capitalization errors which I will mention below. Also, I would suggest changing the rating of this item to ASR due to "love is perspiration in-between two bodies".

At the end, when you mention "Love is pain" could you give us examples of this like you did with everything else? I think it's just too general. How is love pain?

Suggestions:

*Bullet*Love is a blazing in my zigzag. "yeah"
I don't really understand this line. Could it be stated more clearly?

*Bullet*Love is a tides rising, a calming ripple of fate and destiny-twirling-intertwining into a smoother course of reality!
Should be "tide's".

*Bullet*Love is grass that has never been cut, a trickle down a stream, an eagle scouting its pray. the stroke of a violin in the hands of a master violinist.
"Pray" should be "prey" and there should be a comma after "prey" and before "the".

I... absolutely... LOVE how you describe things. It's just so vivid, I could hardly tear my eyes away from my computer. *Thumbsup* This is the main reason why I'm giving you a 4.0. The reason it is not as high as I would like, is because the story feels unfinished. There is much we do not know, as if there should be a part 2. IF that is the case, and there will be more to follow, you should note this somewhere in either the description or at the end of the item itself. Also, there are many sentences which are run-on's, or much longer than they need to be. I'd suggest re-reading and trying to catch sentences that are rather long... then shortening them a bit. (Then re-read to check if it sounds better!).

Other than what I mentioned, this was an excellent story. I'm extremely interested in it, and if there IS more, I want to read it! *Smile* Please let me know if you've got more to it, or if you ever edit this piece.. I'd love to come back and read more.

This is such an interesting and beautiful poem. I like the imagery, and the way the poem flows so well. You picked some great words and examples of "the beauty of life", which has allowed your poem to come to life itself. I especially like the end, as it is something personal to you. Keep up the great work. I've no suggestions for improvement.

Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

Great job! Thank you for the enjoyable and relaxing read. *Bigsmile* This certainly shows just who YOU are!

What a frightening thing that happened on this vacation... but it seemed to be passed by so quickly. I love how you describe the beach, and taking pictures of Cheryl, but the crime seems passed by so easily. There are no personal thoughts from the speaker nor Cheryl on this crime, instead it seems they skipped over it after the scene is described. (In other words, what was their reaction to what had happened?). From the item's description, I thought there was going to be a resolution to this crime, but you seem to cut the ending short. I'd change the description to better fit what happens in the story, or add a resolution.

Other than what was mentioned, the story was easy to follow, and, for the most part, extremely well written. *Smile* Great job and thank you SO much for the enjoyable read. You certainly made me want to go after that guy who had done such a horrible thing!

Suggestions:

*Bullet*The best part about the beach is the scenery, the bathing suits. But the beach was beautiful.
No one was disputing that the beach wasn't beautiful, nor was it indicated otherwise, thus I feel "But" is unneeded. Perhaps "This beach was the most beautiful" or something similar would work better?

*Bullet*There were many discriptions of the car and it's good looking but errant driver given to the police.
"discriptions" should be "descriptions".

Though I am not the biggest fan of Walt Whitman, I can see how your poem mimics his style. Because of how specific this poem is, I can't help but feel it needs to be longer... I also feel that the colors take away from the poem, as do the indentions. In my eyes, it would flow much better if kept to the left margin and in normal, black ink, because the colors and indentions are distracting from the natural beauty of this poem. Great job otherwise, I did enjoy this piece. *Heart*

Should I apologize to you? Hmm... well, I don't know. Honestly, I have NO recommendations for this poem. It is absolutely perfect as is. It flows extremely well and makes beautiful sense... I love it.

I'm so sorry I couldn't find anything for you to improve upon. *Laugh* But I think it speaks bounds on just how much I enjoyed this poem. Great job and keep up the wonderful writing.

*Blush* Hello, Revelry new writings soon ! I'm here to give you~

*Star**Note**Star*

*Noter* Title: "November Dreary" is a fitting title for this poem, as it is one of the subjects.

*Noter* Prompt: Picture prompt chosen... for that you win a free custom signature from "Invalid Item" .

*Noter* Body: I like your elegant writing style. You kept me interested from the beginning, all the way to the end. I do think some more about the woman could have been added, but the poem is nice as is. It had a subtle, dark nature to it, and I loved how you described what the woman looked like. One qualm I did have with your writing, is that you repeated certain words a lot, for ex. "watched/watching", "waiting", "cold", when other words could have sufficed and made for a better read.

*Noter* Form: Free verse. *Smile* And even though it was free verse, it had great flow!

*Noter* "Dark" Factor: As mentioned above, it had a nice, subtle darkness to it.

*Noter* Errors: There were a few errors that I spotted. I'll list them below.

Suggestions:

*Xr*and a group of bright red and orange marigold's and camillia's in the other.
I believe "marigold's" and "camillia's" should be "marigolds" and "camellias". (Notice the changed spelling for the latter word).

*Xr*Upon the sands she stood the staring,
"the" should be "there".

Review of Crimson Twilight

"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, Harris Henderson ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Noter* Title: "Crimsom Twilight" would be appropriate if the title wasn't misspelled. It should be "Crimson". Also, I do think something else could have been better, but that's just my opinion.

*Noter* Prompt: You chose the picture prompt... for that, you win a free custom signature from "Invalid Item" .

*Noter* Body: I'll admit, I loved the poem up until the 2nd stanza when a lover is added in. I want to know why she killed so many, and why in particular this person was shown over the others. Was he her only lover? Or were they all her lovers? What was so special about him? Also, was she some sort of creature from Hell if she had pet demons? I'm a little bewildered by this. A different title or description might help the reader to better understand what you are trying to portray.

*Noter* Form: You use an aabb, ccdd, etc. format. Not very complicated, but it works. However, once we get to the 2nd stanza, 3rd line... it takes on a sing song quality. Perhaps a syllable count restriction could help with this? I'm not sure.

*Noter* "Dark" Factor: Some parts seemed sing-songy, so I wasn't too frightened by this piece. It did have some darkness to it, especially in the beginning, but I felt it diminished towards the end.

*Noter* Errors: None that I could find, besides the title.


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

Review of Fear of Dark  
Review by Neko ♥ Away

Rated: E | (2.5)
"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, ponoichi ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Noter* Title: "Fear of Dark" is a fitting title, but I'm wondering if there was something a bit more creative that you could have used. I'd keep it as is unless you find something else you really like. *Smile*

*Noter* Prompt: None specified.

*Noter* Body: Though this poem is short, it does tell a small tale of what the speaker is afraid of - namely, the dark. I thought some lines, ex. "there are spiders on my back", was a bit random and didn't fit with the poem as well as it should. If you're going to name a specific creature like that, I think you might benefit from adding more creatures so that it doesn't seem as out of place. "Lair" makes the speaker sound like some scary creature, but why would a scary creature be afraid of the dark? You might want to play with the last line a bit so that it fits with the rest of the poem. Other than that though, I did enjoy the read, no matter how short it was. Just try to lengthen this poem a bit and I bet you could create something spectacular.

*Noter* Form: The form is aabb, ccdd - not too complicated, and it gives the poem a sing song quality. I'd suggest choosing a different form, even if it is just a small step up. Perhaps abab, cdcd... or abcb, defe. Also, the addition of some more punctuation and capitalization could immensely help out your poem. (Ex. Capitalizing "i" and adding some commas.)

*Noter* "Dark" Factor: This wasn't too much of a scary or dark poem. It didn't have that frightening quality to it. I did like the lines "If mishap falls upon me, I wonder who's out there to see" because that, I think, is a reason MANY people are afraid of the dark. It added a nice, deeper element to the poem which I think you could expand upon.

*Noter* Errors: None that I could find besides what I mentioned above with the capitalization of "i".


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, Fairport ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Noter* Title: The Dark Cathedral is a wonderful title for this piece, though, I think something more creative would be even better. However, the title fits... so I'd suggest keeping it as is unless you find something you like a lot better.

*Noter* Prompt: None specified.

*Noter* Body: You did a great job with this piece. I love how eerie it is. I almost feel as if I'm being sucked down into this hellish, dark cathedral. It's also amazing how much imagery you fit into this short poem - it's full of it. You did a good job at showing rather than telling. I'm guessing this place is hell, and that the keeper is the devil? Very cool.

*Noter* Form: I like the form you used. It fits well with the poem. However, arrive and wide didn't seem to rhyme as well as the rest of your poem (which is in abab cdcd, etc. format, I believe). I also felt that the addition of punctuation could help the readability of your poem.

*Noter* "Dark" Factor: Nicely dark, with the legions of hell and all. *Bigsmile* I could almost hear those maddening screams.

*Noter* Errors: None that I saw.


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*

"Invalid Item" 

*Blush* Hello, Karasu ! I'm here to give you~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


*Star**Note**Star*

*Noter* Title: The title of this piece is "Star-crossed Rendesvouz". Though the title is fitting, it is misspelled. "Rendesvouz" should be "Rendezvous". I'm kind of unsure about the "Star-crossed", could there be something different that might be better? (Because "star-crossed" is a slight cliche).

*Noter* Prompt: None specified.

*Noter* Body: I LOVED this tale. It's sad, painful, and full of love. You did such a great job with your wording. I think you kept the flow well in the beginning, but then it loses its way near the end. Was this intentional? Great imagery, by the way!

*Noter* Form: As I said, you lost your rhyme scheme near the end/midway. I'm not sure if you did this on purpose, but if so, you might want to put a note about it. Otherwise, it just doesn't read as well without that rhyme you had in the beginning. It was abcb, then changes to abac, then to no rhyme at all.

*Noter* "Dark" Factor: Not as much as I'd like, but still a nice, slight bit. This seems more like a "drama"/"romance" tale to me.

*Noter* Errors: None that I noticed, besides the title. Ah, wait. I did find one. The last line is awkward. I'd suggest it reworded as "A sword stab that remained."


Please note, any suggestions I make are solely my opinion. This is your story/poem, so if you don't want to change it then don't. *Bigsmile*
