I found nothing wrong with the second stanza. lol Each to his own taste. lol I can see the 'dry' but here autumn is all soggy. We live outside of a rainforest. I wonder how you'd 'poem' the flooding. *Laugh*

Third verse I especially liked. The rhyme was great and even though we don't get snow usually, we did this year, so your poem fit so well.

I like the new ring to the tree. Nicely done.
Love, LinnAnn

Liam, I'm not sure you are even alive. You've not posted in years and I miss our chats.

I loved this poem. It's spooky, science fiction scary. I think I've seen a movie like this. The house goes anti human. Very scarey.

You did great keeping the pattern and everything rhymed perfectly. Great job. Sure miss you.

Review of Riding Waves

I read the 'soft velcro' and it took me a second to remember modern surfers strap the board to their ankles. In the old days we didn't do that. and the boards were so thick and heavy.

Are you sure it was your shins that were churning?

Thought the 'high fives' was cool. I never had that issue. Maybe too skinny.

into cool pleasure, or onto? might want to change that. just a thought

I've never heard of spindrift. what does that mean?

why were your knees quivering? Had you been in a surfing accident before?

well done and brings back memories. It felt to me like flying in an open cockpit plane.

Thanks for bringing back memories. I hope my questions and suggestions help some.
thanks for sharing with us. pardon my typos, hands are freezing and this lap top is smaller than my old one so I hit wrong letters.

This is great. The syllables are a bit off, but if I say the lines over again I can make them fit. the last line almost made me chuckle. I can mentally see a child out trying to pick holly and carry it home. ouch!

Sometimes I wish we had holly, it's so decorative and definitely a reminder of Christmas.

Rhyming is well done, imagery is too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Review of Winter.

This is a very interesting poem. frost and stars atwine. I've never heard of that word, and wondering how frost and stars would mix together.

I do like the way you actually used the word tarnish. Good for you! You might want to think about changing the 'have' to 'are'.
Gone are the murderous beams that tarnish. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for sharing your work with us.

This was sweet and endearing. I also served but my childfren so seem to care. I am so glad you wrote this for her.

It held my attention, and made me feel good. I do have one teeny, tiny suggestion. Your wife was a Major, who ranks higher than Captain. It is demoting her to say Captaian. I think it would work great to say Major in all three lines of the last verse. It's just a suggestion.

Review of Winter Fade  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (3.5)
I read this twice. I had mixed emotions. There are imagings of beauty-brightly hued blossoms, Chromatic chorus, promise of warmth, and more. You give illusions to such beauty but it's all negated by the subtle words of 'Nonchalance','broken shards', thoughtlessly, tinctures of decay,-That was a sad type of wording. Then the 'fading shades of concrete'. Nothing pretty about concrete unless someones colored on it. lol
Were you sad and depressed? If so I'm sorry.

You did keep my attention and you did evoke emotions.
Thanks for sharing.

I wonder where you live. lol Where I am, no June heat. You gave me good imagery on the Trees dance on the road. I got a great image of heat rippling up off the road not sure about the tree. I don't think I"ve ever seen that so it intrigued me very much.

I can mentally see road workers roasting out in the street, hoping drivers won't hit them.

Review of Scent of Rain

After reading your poem, I have to ask, where do you live? Your first word sure sets the tone. Reminds me of Arizona when I lived there back in the early seventies.
That dry dust is horrible and little mini tornadoes popping up 'dust devils' make people choke.

You caught my attention at the first word and you held it all the way through. I never thought of the rain smell as musty. I'll have to search my memory to recall. I'm back in Washington and it's not must here. lol I love the 'wring the dust from the air'. good mental image on that one too. The scent of renewal is nicely done.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Very upbeat and useful. I'm so glad you kept us informed. Isn't it amazing how Cancer was just a rare thing and now it's 'normal' that they test for it all the time. I am praying you do not have cancer of any form. I didn't know how many of my friends have/had it until I got it. if you end up with cancer, I want to know! I am glad you are getting some work in. Is it enough?
Hang in there. Thanks for the details.

Hey Chris, hope the masks are okay.

You need an 'r' in Patrick's day.
The last line might read better if the 'green is' reads 'green's on display.'

I love that you wrote about Saint Patrick's day. It's one of my favorite holidays. I like that it is so perky. Did you write it this year? Perfect for your anniversary at wdc!

Your muse did a great job, thank her a bunch, she favored you greatly especially with you not feeling very well.

I loved it. You had me worried at first, I was worried he was going for a suicide, but sigh with relief, he didn't. You gave him hope and exuberant new hope for a fresh start. I am a sucker for a happy ending. Flowed well, and I'm amazed you rhymed bridge and smidge. lol

Review of Autumn  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)

Wow, that poem was really intense. Your opening line is fantastic. What a grabber. I'm not sure what the smell of Autumn is, but the word 'sharp' was another eye grabber.\

I've never seen streets drenched in dew. It makes me wonder where you live. I live outside of a rain forest and our streets are always wet, but not from dew or fog.

It took me a minute to understand the fallen rubies. Then it dawned on me, red leaves.

Not sure why your eyes are burning and hungry. You lost me on that. Your arms laden with life. Were you carrying a child?

Review of I Am A Cornfield  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This was rather cute. I think you forgot one thing, the way a cornfield is creepy and bug filled, and how people can get lost and not know from which end they entered. lol The only way the friends could find me was by the ears of corn being thrown in the air when I checked and found bugs in the tip of the ear.

Is it my eyes or is the first word in BOLD? If so, why?

I counted out meter where I had trouble but the count was just fine. I found no errors and thoroughly enjoyed it. The on the sly reminded me of my step family, stopping along the road side and grabbing a few ears. Good job.

I don't know if you wrote these or just collected them form other people; but they cracked me up. I was crying and feeling down and these brought my spirits right back up.

I loved the one asking about how the wives were doing with their husbands at home.

The best to me was the washing machine ordering the person to 'stay home'.

Thanks for sharing these.

I really liked this! You did a great job of describing the rides, just enough description for those who know but making us think. The firsts verse was so spot on.

This brought back so many memories. The time a boy threw up out of the cage and it fell down on to the kids in the one before us. I'm 66 and I still remember that! *Laugh*

I loved the line 'Ferris dreams and neon screams' line.

Do they really bend to the whims of the bold? Or are the bold just getting through? lol
Thanks for sharing.

In paragraph 4 you could have mentioned how you feel, give the reader a sense of the danger. I've driven in that type of situation and I have to admit, it scared the willies out of me.

You got my attention and held it. I would have liked a little bit more time with each dog. You drew me in and I wanted more when you got me there.

I wanted more and it was the end. Bummer! lol You could get a book out of this, with the whole political race and all.

Thanks for sharing, this was cute.

You did this very well. I couldn't remember the name of the style but I know of it.

You did the rotation of lines perfectly.
They rhythm was spot on.
The rhyming words were great and they weren't the obvious words seen in many poems.

I love the second line, 'serving through deeds'. Many people expect and yet don't see those deeds as serving them.

Leaving your heart through your writing is great. I hope they appreciate it.

Review of Embrace

My review just disappeared. sigh
This is a nice little poem.

He, She, got that boy and girl hugging. Very clear
However the next part confused me a bit. 'One becoming' I didn't get what they were becoming, unless you meant one was becoming beautiful and that act was what was astounding.

Lots of hugs or lots of hugging, as in one long one?
I love the smile and happy hearts. It is a very happy poem. love it.

So I take it this was for a contest or an assignment? You have certain words highlighted in green. You worked them in very well.

I wasn't sure if the capsule was the body and it held the soul, or if the soul were some sort of capsule. I do understand that the memories can cross decades. I can also understand how letters can 'sing'through time. Photographs can turn grey, but not sure of the gadgets.

If you could take the time to explain the last line, I'd sure appreciate it.

You might want to put a comma after hurry unless you are making up a new word, hurry-scurry in your verse verse.
Also, my worms are not slimy. *Laugh*

The mice eating the eggs of ants, is that real?
I've never found a slug in my compost either. They sure like to eat everything in the garden.
I don't have moss there either, but it sure likes my trees.

'Circles of both life and death are swirling everywhere.' I like that line.

I've never, ever seen a frog in my compost either. Did you just think of anything out in a yard or are these things actually in your compost. If so where are you?

Love your opening and closing lines. Love the poem. Made me think. Poetry is so clever.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Made me think. Now I'll have to do some research.
