A nicely written, light hearted story about how you deal with stress by eating popcorn. You express your feelings very aptly with discriptive words that evoked a mental picture of you stuffing yourself with popcorn. Just picturing it made me chuckle. I did notice you spelled "buttery" wrong, you wrote "butterey". Otherwise, keep the words flowing, write on.

A well written true story about a good man turned bad after becoming addicted to drugs. I liked the way you presented it by informing the reader about the events that led up to his ending up on Death Row, then being executed in the electric chair. As I read the story, I felt the emotions he felt flowing through the many discriptive words you wrote to portray what he was going through. They also enabled me to mentally picture the events you described, some of which made me shudder with pain for what he went through when they tried to electrocute him the first time, burning him, and it failed. Such a cruel way to die. Write on.

Review of Come With Me  
Rated: E | (4.5)
A trilogy of emotional, heartfelt, free verse poems in which you express your thoughtsand emotions about the one you love with numerous discriptive words that evoke an emotional response in the reader. They also enable the reader to mentally picture the many scenes you portray in the poems. I did notice a few spelling errors; "spteppes" is "steppes" and "sacredd" is "sacred". Otherwise very moving poetry. Write on.

A nicely written chapter 4, in the continuing story of Meg, that I found to be interesting. You expressed her thoughts and feelings, about what John did to her and how she felt about him and her cousin, very aptly. I could feel her outrage and anger as I read the story. Keep the words flowing, write on.

Review of PURE  
Rated: E | (4.5)
A nicely written, prose poem that I enjoyed reading. I liked the way you presented it by using many discriptive words that painted a mental picture in my mind of what you were portraying in it. They also enabled me to feel the emotions you must have felt as you drove through the mountains. You did have one error in verse two, line one, you wrote "cod" instead of "cold". Write on.

An interesting and educational story about your experiences of living in Nigeria. You expressed your thoughts and feelings very effectively throughout your story. As I read it I could visualize the scenes you portrayed due to the many discriptive words you used in conveying what occurred and what you were feeling at the time. I could feel your yearning for the things you missed, that you had when living in London, flowing from those words. Keep the words flowing, write on.

An emotional, heartfelt poem in which you express your thoughts and feelings about your mother and her death. As I read the poem I could feel the conflict of emotions flowing from the words you wrote to convey to the reader those thoughts and feelings of anger, guilt, pain, and feeling unloved by your mother. Writing about your feelings can be beneficial at times. It's certainly not healthy to keep them bottled up inside oneself. So, write on.

Review of Redeemed  
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
Wow, what an intense, emotional, well written short story. You expressed the characters' thoughts and feelings with words that conveyed to the reader each other's anger and rage during the events that you portrayed. As I read all those discriptive words I felt like I was that poor young girl who had been abused by her drunken father. They also enabled me to mentally picture the scenes you portrayed. All the makings of an excellent story, even though it is a sad one. Keep the words flowing, write on.

The words you used to describe the events enabled me to mentally picture what you portrayed and feel the emotions that were the result of what happened. Reading it made me laugh just picturing it. Write on.

A nicely written, educational, free verse poem that I enjoyed reading. As someone who bowled in a League in my younger years, I was enlightened by reading your poem about Norm Duke winning the World Championship for the third time. As I read the poem I could feel the excitement flowing through it as you conveyed what was necessary for him to reach his goal. Keep the words flowing, write on.

Review of Who am i...  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
A heartfelt,emotional,free verse poem that conveys,to the reader, the anguish and pain resulting from being abused. As a survivor of abuse I can totally relate to the questioning of who am I. Abuse of any kind is wrong. Being abused when you are young can be especially damaging to one`s self image. Like you,writing about it was helpful in getting out the anger,regaining self respect,and negating the feelings that I did something to cause the abuse. The only error I noted is that "allowed" shoud be "crying aloud". Keep the words flowing, write on.

As I read your poem about the break up of a marriage, I could mentally picture the events you described and feel the emotional impact that one must feel when that happens. The words you used to convey what you were portraying were what created those pictures in my mind. That was what made the poem good along with the rhyming. The flow of the words, though, was off. In rhyming it is important to have the words flow easily. Write on.

Reading your well written poem, about watching Sunday sports, brings to my mind a picture of my husband watching football and/or baseball on that day. Your rhyme is excellent. The many discriptive words enable me to feel the excitement of what you are portraying. Another great poem, write on.

You expressed your thoughts with words that made it easy to follow the poem from start to finish. As I read it I could visualize, in my mind, that tiny mouse in his quest for some cheese. Keep the words flowing, write on.

An emotional, heartfelt poem in which you express your thoughts and feelings, about what happened to you after the accident and how it affected your life, with words that enabled the reader to feel your pain and despair initially, then your realization that inner beauty comes from the heart. As a retired nurse I am familiar with your condition, so I can relate to what you went through. Thankfully there is some relief from the Botox injections. Write on.
