Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This poem appears to be about being torn and confused; about wanting something and yet at the same time not knowing exactly what it is that is wanted! The writer clearly wants to be loved but is not clear about the desire and is certainly not sure about the desire outcome.

This is an interesting story! The writer paints a picture of sadness and yet one filled with hope. The hope of reclaiming the love that was lost. The writer also speaks about the doubt that exists even with the hope. The fear of the hope not being realized. Still the existence of the hope for what was to become again is very strong and prevails throughout.

This is a cute story! The writer speaks to the ingenuity of animals! The writer describes the dog's personality quite well and the milkman certainly underestimates the dog. The writer makes the story rich with detail and makes it very interesting in the description of the dog and the ongoing feud that exists between the two.

This is an interesting piece! The writer appears to be talking about vulnerability and its face. The writer speaks of the harm and the ugly things that occur but continues to refer to the fact that the person was given permission to enter. This seems to speak to a sense of naivete that exists and results in betrayal.

Review of Stain  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This poem is about lost love! The writer speaks about the loss by stressing the wish that all of the things that were done are remembered by the one who did them. The writer also speaks about betrayal because of the rejection of all of the precious parts of love that was unappreciated and rejected.

Review of Mirror man  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a well written story! The writer gives intrigue and mystery in a unique way! I enjoyed the way the writer describes the power play between the 2 persons or should I say 2 sides of one person. The plot and story is attention getting. The writer paints a vivid picture of a troubled person struggling and in the end; loses the battle to something that is strange and scary but powerful. The man in the mirror might be said to represent the other side of John that was neglected and gained power through John's denial of its existence.

This is an interesting story. I got confused and was not sure about the different characters and their roles. However, the writer made it interesting and did give human like qualities; especially to the cat. It might be helpful; at least to me if the characters were separated with more clarity.

Review of Ana Dreamt  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.5)
What a sentimental and moving story! The writer does an excellent job on describing the stigma of being an outsider and being isolated as a result of this stigma. The efforts of the father to make Ana think that she was normal speak to a father's love; although misguided; innocent and pure. The writer also speaks of a young boy who is also an outsider. The writer does a wonderful job of bringing the two together through their art. The moral for me is that when one looks for the similar instead of focus on the differences; unity can happen and a physical disability can be overshadowed by the oneness of what is shared.

Review of OLD MEN  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a cute poem! The writer is quick and rhymes well. I do not agree about the old folks; maybe because I am well on my way1,(smile) I''m soon to be 59! I feel that they should be supported and integrated even if they are odd for they represent part of the life cycle. I liked the compact style of the writer and it is catchy indeed.

Review of Passing By  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a poem that is bittersweet! The writer speaks about unrequieted love. The message is about not saying what was needed to be said and the knowing but inability to reach out and claim or at the very least make the annouoncement of desire and yearning. The bittersweet part comes from passing the way again only to find that the love cannot be attained because the object of that love is gone.

This is an interesting poem! I am not certain of the writer's intent. However, to me, it speaks about the distant that one has from an experience in perhaps not knowing how to handle it. The writer speaks of action that resulted in prison and at the end of this; it seems that the person still had not been touched by the meaning of the experience and so once again is separated from that part of themselves that would benefit from being able to feel and integrate the outcome of experience.

Review of Love Lasts  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a poem about a declaration of love. There has been separation but reunited in spirt. This rekindles the love and makes it stronger than ever. This makes the writer stress the importance of being touched by the one that is loved and being one with the one who is loved. The sense of completeness seals the love although the two are not physically reunited--yet.

Review of The Nova  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
This is a job well done! The writer uses skill in mocking big business. The writer also shows that the real deal is about the money and not the consumer. The advertising lengths that the writr describes are actually quite accurate; although I do not know the exact dollars and cents. The writer also shows the lengths that big business will go to to market a product even if the product has been shown to be dangerous or inept.

This is a great story! The writer uses man's greed and the state of poverty to show how nature can be corrupted! The writer givs examples of how even children; who are supposedly our most precious gift; cannot compete with greed. The writer does an excellent job describing and giving examples of human nature.

This is a magical, mysterious, enchanting story! The writer does a wonderful job of story telling. The description of the leprechan is fascinating. The way that the leprechan interacts and dispels some of the myths is also good. The writer highlights trust and simple enjoyment of two beings sharing each other's company. The writer also highlights acceptance which both the leprechan and the human display for each other. The concept of genuine friendship comes through and makes the story that much more delightful.

Review of Mr. Fish  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (3.5)
This is a cute story! The writer gives the fish human personalities which makes the story all the more interesting. I like the exchanges that take place between Mr. Fish and the other water residents. The ending is interesting as it is not the worm that Mr. Fish had intended to catch but indeed a fish like himself that had been caught.

Review of Evolution  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a poem that seems to be looking for someone to make some decisions and provide some guidance. The writer appears to make the person a willing participant to be observed and evaluated and the encouraged or challenged to make appropriate changes whatever they are.

I really enjoyed this story! I have not heard the term wedgy used in years and it reminded me of the way that my two sons used to tease each other. The writer also is very descriptive and makes the story funny. A reason that it is funny is that personally speaking; I have had the issue of funny feeling akward pantyhose around the personal area and have wiggled because of uncomfortability. The way the writer treats this issue is funny; light and delightful.

Review of Stonebreaker  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
This is an interesting story! The writer speaks of the ability to change and of some things remaining the same. This is significant to me in terms of the personalities of human; the outer and the ones that are left unseen. The writer also speaks of the beauty of a stone which is a goddess and lacks imperfections. The stone also lacks life but is beautiful to behold. The writer also speaks of the flirtatiousness that the chameleon manages.

This is a powerful and sad story! The writer is very articulate in language. The writer gives a vivid picture of the events and the characters involved. The writer captures the readers attention and keeps it. The details about the mother and the child and the deception speaks to the man's madness. It seemed as if the deranged man relived the events in the office of the psych and instead of seeing a psych; ended up seeing and killing the psych who had been transformed by the insane man into the perpetrator.

Review of DCF Takes Goldi  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is an interesting story and certainly speaks to parenting issues! The writer speaks about how the mother loved her daughter so much. This love seemed to be misguided as the child was left to her own means. The writer also speaks of the havoc that was caused by the child as the child did what children do and that is investigate and get into mischief. The mistake that the mother made turned out to be quite costly and certainly this happens to many parents.

This are powerful words with deep meaning. The writer appears to be taling about a love affair gone sour or at least weakened. The writer also speaks about listening at least this what I believe is implied; when the writer says it has been a while since we spoke. I got the sense that there is conflict between the two although they may be attempting to convey certain messages. The speaking takes place but not actual listening and acceptance of each other.

Review of Words to Air  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a vivid piece! The writer speaks about efforts and the desire for attention. The writer also speaks about the desire to be recognized if just a little. The fact that the writer claims that love will remain even if the desire to be heard is not granted reinforces the intensity of the need to love.

Review of Sweet Nothings  
Review by dreamlike
Rated: E | (3.5)
This is an interesting piece! The writer refers to sweet nothings which is a term that has been used as quick flattery that is not of much substance. Another way this has been used is to get someone to give a favor; sometimes a sexual favor as a result of saying sweet nothings. The writer appears to speak about sweet nothings in different time periods and question the honesty.

This is a bittersweet and touching story! The writer manages to give a summary of two strangers whose paths cross. Each of them have been impacted by loss; one loss through a death and the other loss through indifference in a marriage. The writer offers hope for a new life. The memories of days gone by are ever present but as the two meet; slowly they seem to be able to enter into each other's world and this is the beauty. The hope that eachof them can touch the other in a meaningful and perhaps permanent manner.
