Review of Get Well Too  
In affiliation with PSYW  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello! ~WhoMe???~

This is a wonderful 'get well' poem written for your friend cookie_writer.

I am sorry you both are sick. I am just getting over a terrible bug myself and could relate to the words where you describe your ailments.

The rhythm and rhyme of this poem were perfectly done. I enjoyed the content and the caring feeling that shown through your words.

I hope you both get well soon! *Heart*

Hello! SHERRI GIBSON

This is a lovely acrostic poem I found while browsing your port. It was written to you by simplycomplex.

I think it shows how very loved you are by members of WDC. I also think it is neat how long you have been around WDC to have sponsored another moderator in the wonderful Rising Stars program.

You are many review groups boards. I think by the time you receive all your reviews, I might be close to having read your entire port.
Not that I am complaining. You have a good variety of items in your port and all are very interesting reads.

I am glad I choose this poem to read. It is so heartfelt and touching. It is a tribute to your brother who now sits in the world of eternity, as you said, a world apart but he is close to your heart. I am glad he touched your life so profoundly while he was here with you for such a shortened time. I find this poem very bittersweet. Even in your grief, you recognize the gifts your brother provided and still he lives on in you.

A beautiful tribute to one of your 3D college friends. I am sure you have shared this with her. If you have not, please do. The things you have said about 'Sunny' would make anyone realize what a special person she is. It does not sound like her life has been easy but she does not complain. I can see why you feel lucky having her as a friend and why she holds a pice of your heart! Beautifully expressed.

Thank you for sharing this real life experience of what it is like to be a student and a member of a family where you often give up your study time to help.

I am glad that you were able to get a new teacher. Having the wrong teacher can be very hard on the learning process. I know I always did better with certain teachers and my daughters struggled with certain teachers as well.

I like how you noticed that with some discomfort and selfless acts comes many rewards.

Congrats on your new niece and good luck with further studies!

Review of Remembrance

Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Wow! I do not usually like undead stories, or rather, I do not normally like undead movies. My husband is obsessed with the undead. He likes to think up senarios of what he will do, and what I will be unprepared for, when the undead come. lol

I loved this story. It was actually a love story. It made it seem more sad and real....

The story was excellently written. congrats on the win in the contest. I am saving this for my husband to read. He is always wanting me to write about the undead. I won't but he can read this and will be happy that someone out there did.

Nicely done! Great use of the propt 'write about an un-birthday'. Unique and again, imaginative.

This story of one of your more embarrassing moments in life actually made me laugh out loud, so loud, that my dog perked up her ears and stared, confused at me.

I think it is great that you shared this very sweet and humorous story with us. I could picture you (even though I do not really know what you look like) in this scene with the ladies.

I wonder...did the ladies laugh???

Happy Anniversary!

Hello Old Warrior,

I am reading this as a reader, not an editor, so forgive me if I do not address issues such as grammar or punctuation.

This seems like a rant, not a bad thing BTW.

I would like to address the first part of this essay. You tell us a little about who you are or are assumed to be in the beginning. I find it hard to see you as a Felix Unger or Spoke, lol. I see you as patient though. It is funny as we really know little about each other's 3D lives through the internet interaction we all enjoy so much. I can be quite finicky about how my cans are placed in the cabinet but am much more emotional than logical at times. I move forward by listening to my heart rather than my head many times. From what I know of you from our limited interactions on this site and your writing, I would think you use your heart as much as logic...

You said:

Have you noticed there are some people who go out of their way to be downright mean and irritable? What about those people who make it a point to create problems for others, those who tell half-truths, those who pass on shady insinuations, and those who intentionally twist the truth simply to humiliate or hurt others?

Unfortunately, this has been a theme for me lately. I have seen this done in real life and on the net. It makes me sad, not only am I hurt but I have to consider what kind of person would take joy in making themselves look better by putting another down, no matter how justified they must think they are. My philosophy has always been to live and let live. I do not care if my worse 'enemy' succeeds, I actually prefer everyone would reach their goals, whatever they may be. I worry about reaching my own goals. I set my sights on growing and reaching new heights and try never to use another as a stepping stone. I believe I am misunderstood some times, but what can a person do about it? Little. I am sorry if you have been hurt by spite... You can only make sure that you are sending out all the positivity that you can and being the person you want to be. At the end of the day, we must live within ourselves. I want peace when I close my eyes. I am not infalliable, but try and correct my mistakes as soon as possible.

You said:


There are a lot of self-proclaimed Christians out there who would be very shocked to learn that they are NOT a true Christian at all and have never even come close to being one.

People may disagree, by in my opinion, Christian means Christ-like. I am not Christ like. I would strive to be that pure and loving, but I will always fall short. I would never claim that title as I feel I do not deserve it. I also do not like the message that organized religion sends so I tend to steer clear from labels.

I have found you to be a wise man. I find this post interesting and I think I have learned a little more about you.

Even as a rant, you made excellent points, many which I agree with. I think we all need to vent once in a while and this was a perfect way to get your point across and in a rather gentle way!

Review of Let's Publish!  
In affiliation with Native First Peoples Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hello! emerin-liseli



My name is omniblueeyes *Smile* I am pleased to have the honor of reading a piece of your writing.
Disclaimer: I am not a professional editor, I am simply a reader. My intent is to share my humble opinion of your work with you. It is my sincere hope that you will find something useful in my review and disregard what you do not agree with. Review 1/3


*Note1*Overall Impression:
It is an odd coincidence as I was talking to someone today and they mentioned your group. I knew a little about your group before I came to your port today. I had no idea who the leader was and it is nice to see the group for myself after all the good things I heard about it.

This group is a support system set to help members through critical reviews of each other and the sharing of information. The goal is for serious writers to become published authors.

*Note2*Setting and Plot/Structure and Form:
The page layout is nicely done. The premise and the groups objectives are easy to understand. The images are very nice and add to the layout. I appreciate the different facets you chose to focus on. The reader can easily flow from 'area' to 'area' with ease. You state who you are, what the group is for, how to join. You also list who has become published. I love that you listed the names of the donors. I, personally, do not care to see amounts donated. I think this could (perhaps) make those who donate less than others feel poorly about their own donation.

*Note3*Punctuation, Spelling, and Grammar:
There is nothing I see that needs correction.

*Thumbsup* Favorite Parts:
I love that you limit the group size. I think this only helps the members. It is easy to become overwhelmed in reviewing if there are too many people, especially when doing in-dept reviews.

*Check5*Suggestions:
I really have none. I heard excellent things about the group before I even read the page. I only gained more respect for the group when I read the mission of the group.

*Note5*Parting Thoughts:
When I finally get serious about publishing, this is definitely a group that I would consider applying to. I think the success rate of the members is a great incentive, as well as the small group size, and the serious nature of the group mentality. I have much to learn before considering publishing any of my writing.

*Note1*Overall Impression:
A lovely tribute to you wife. I hope that you have printed this out for her and framed it or perhaps she has a collection of poems you have written here. This one is definitely a keepsake!

*Note2*Setting and Plot/Structure and Form:
The rhyme scheme was consistent and not at all forced. The poem flowed beautifully. I am not sure if you paid attention to syllabic count or you are just that good *Wink* This was a rather long poem and to stay steady and consistent through the entire piece is an accomplishment for any poet.

*Note3*Punctuation, Spelling, and Grammar:
All nicely done!

*Thumbsup* Favorite Parts:
I think the love shown for your wife, your best friend, in this poem is my favorite part. Oh, to be loved that way.
From your heart you taught me faith, from your smile I learned of cheer,
From your lips you gave a gentle kiss, to take away my fear.

I loved the line about the eclair in Paris *Wink*
I also loved the humor:
But in my mind it’s the little things, that memory holds so dear,
Your chilly toes on a wintry night, you’d press into my rear.


*Check5*Suggestions:
Only one, Write on!

*Note5*Parting Thoughts:
I know you did not come to this site a poet but you are one now. This was beautiful!

*Note1*Overall Impression:
You write a compelling piece asking, 'What is love?'

*Note3*Punctuation, Spelling, and Grammar:
No errors noticed on my part. The article was well written and read nicely. I enjoyed sharing in your vision of what love is to you.

*Thumbsup* Favorite Parts:
I enjoyed the entire piece. I really loved the poem you shared with us. I also agreed with your note about if you find love, keep hold tight.

*Check5*Suggestions:
This is not a suggestion, just an observation. I do not think all love must be romantic. One can survive on all sorts of love without ever being in a romantic relationship.

*Note5*Parting Thoughts:
I think you have quite a talent. I would like to invite you to an awesome group on WDC called the Paper Doll Gang. Please check out this link and see if this would interest you. I know I have learned so much.

I have erased my template to address this post on a personal nature.

I wrote in my blog about the rating system today. It is a very controversial topic. I tend to rate people higher than some. This is my reason. I want to read your story, this story. I want to read many stories of personal experiences and trial and joys that might not be shared if writers are discouraged by harsh reviews on such personal topics. Words are often the person's blood and soul on display. I am glad you shared this story.

If it is important to you, I did not notice any spelling errors, but I am reviewing as a reader and fellow human.

I really can not find the right words to convey what I felt while reading your story. I felt an array of emotions and your words stirred something in my heart. I mourn for your loss but I rejoice in your having this angel with you for the amount of time that you did. One moment with an angel is perhaps better than no moments at all?

I see so many stories of life from writers here and I am thankful every time I come across something that makes me think or feel or relate....

Again, I am not doing your story justice, but know you have been read and 'felt'.

Happy New Year!

What a very unique in and out. I had to play! The premise it to add to the story just three additional words. The story ends up being created by many and can end up being quite silly and fun at times. This is encouraged by the creator.

The story begins:

I am! What

will you pay

to have your

nose vacuumed by

an overgrown anteater


You can see where people added their three words and how silly the story could get. This is great fun.

I also like the fact that you added a page to this one to show who the contributors are to the story. Very nicely formatted page with easy to follow directives and links!

*Note1*Overall Impression:
I noticed there are a lot of poems dedicated to your mother in your port. I have read some of them and decided to take a look into this one.

I have erased my template because, unless specifically asked to do so, I do not rate these emotional poems the same way I would something written for a contest for example.

This is a tribute to your mother, who you miss. The feeling is evident in your poem as is the great love you felt for this woman.

As you have written, you will meet again. I am sure she is looking down on you and very proud of all you have accomplished.

OMG!!!!! LMBO!!!! I am so glad I picked this poem for my last review! It is so funny!

I think this is a definite 'must be submitted' piece of poetry!

The rhyme scheme is only noticed if you look hard. It seemed effortless. The flow was spot on when read out loud. The content was great!

The moral of the story is great for kids! I can picture illustrations with this poem as well! I loved this so much! This one made me laugh out loud.

Thank you for sharing your awesome talent for writing stories for children. I miss teaching and reading stories for kids really makes me feel 'at home'.

I like the reversal of this poem. It shows that the child is not afraid of the monster as many children would be and would make a cute book. I only noticed that you used 'room' twice in one stanza and wonder if you could replace on of the repeated words with another?

I love the imagination you have. This was cute and as I was reading it, I was picturing the illustrations that would go with it. It made me giggle!

Great job! Write on *Smile*

I loved this poem about a child being left alone for a bit while his/her mother went next door. The humor in it made me smile wide as I read the words. The end was perfectly done.

The rhyme scheme was executed nicely and the flow was terrific when I read it out loud. I think this should be submitted for publication. I know 'Highlights' magazine has an mag for older children (school-aged). this would be perfect for them and they pay well for their poems *Smile*

Happy New Year!

I was very excited to see a children's section in your port. I think stories and poems are perhaps one of my favorite things to read.

This story is told from a cat's point of view. You use a narrative voice and it is well done. I really never thought about how a cat feels about the trash can. LOL I do, however, remember my two cats bringing me 'presents'. One actually did all the killing and the other cat would sometimes take the prize away and try and claim it as his own. I always felt bad for the thing that was killed and for the cat when I discarded it's gift with a shudder.

I did not see any spelling or grammar errors. i enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing. I am off to read more from this folder!

Very interesting stuff in this blog! I need to come back and bookmark it as some parts of it really got me wanting to have a discussion, namely the reviewing part. I am not going to address it as much as I would like to here, but I will come back later and post in your blog. I think it is a good question you posed.

I am rating your journal a five because i do not think blogs really should be rated. My is ratable too...I am not sure why either. LOL Journals are personal thoughts, there can be some awesome entries in every blog and some really boring ones. i wish we could rate individual posts. That would be great.

I am sorry about having a the time you are having (regarding your latest entry). i hope that you find some peace soon.

I enjoyed your blog and will add it to my subscription list!

Jerry, I read your bio. i know it must be tough to be a male writer as a teen. i urge you to never lose your desire to write because kids are cruel. Look at all the talented men on this site. They are not to be looked upon in shame, they are to be admired. Actually, poets were mostly men long ago.

You caring and open heart show through in your writing. please keep on. This poem was an outlet for you feelings and I think you did a great job at expressing them and also writing in a way that we could all relate to your words.

I think this poem is powerful in it's simple nature about nature. It is actually about wheat and a famer cutting his harvest down only to know it will grow again.

I think you may want to look at the first verse and see if you can substitute one of the repeated words for another. the thesaurus has turned out to be one of my best friends, lol.

I think this is a great tribute to the farmer and actually also to the wheat stalks...
