A well written free verse poem that is educational in that you convey the point that as adults we should look through the eyes of innocent children in order to achieve universal love. Also, we need to nurture and protect our children because the world we live in is full of stress and strife. Keep the words flowing, write on.

Review of Voices change  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I enjoyed reading your poem about how voices change as one grows up over the years. You followed the theme very well throughout the poem. I liked the way you presented it as a story, but in verse. As I read the poem I could visualize, in my mind, the events you descibed occurring in it because of the many discriptive words that you used. They also enabled me to feel the emotions of love, pride, frustration, pain, and loneliness that the character in the poem was feeling. Your rhyme was good, too. Write on.

An emotional free verse poem that portrays the two sides of a person`s personality. You follow the theme very well throughout the poem. You convey to the reader your feelings as viewed from the outside, then the inside of the window with words that enable me to mentally picture what you are describing and relate to what you are feeling. A couple of suggestions I have: drop the "And" in line four of the second verse, start with "The wind "that" blows, etc" You wrote "the blows here, etc" ; there should be a "comma" after "inviting" and "vacant", and there should be a "period" after "back". Write on.

Review of Scarlet Bandit  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
I thought your fictional story was pretty interesting. You kept to the theme throughout it very nicely with words that enabled the reader to visualize, mentally, the events that you depicted in the story. You expressed the thoughts and feelings of the various characters very effectively with words that let the reader feel what they were feeling. I was disappointed in the conclusion, though, because you left the reader hanging and wondering what does happen to the Scarlet Bandit. Write on.

Review of Miss Them Already  
Rated: E | (4.5)
An emotional, heartfelt, free verse poem that tells of a father`s pain of not being able to see his daughters after being separated from their mother. You express your thoughts and feelings very well throughout the poem with many discriptive words that convey to the reader the depth of your despair. As I read the poem I can feel the emotions flowing from the words you wrote. The only suggestions I have are to drop the "And" in front of "that" and start it with " "So that this pain",etc. Also, drop the "and" between "them" and "knowing" then use a :"comma" after "them" instead. This will make the words flow better. In the last paragraph you use "them" four times when it would be more effective if you used "my daughters" in the first line instead of "them", then in the second line" their names" instead of "them at the end of it. Line three I`d write "Because they don`t know where their father went". However, these are just suggestions, the poem is yours. Write on.

Judy, Thank you for sharing your very trying and frightening ordeal with us. As a retired R.N. I can really relate to the things you`ve so aptly described in the book that you`ve started. We all care so much for you and are praying that the medicines you are receiving put you in remission. From what you have written here I feel you are a fighter and have a strong will which is important in fighting any disease. Writing about your trials and tribulations can be cathartic, so write on. Take Care.
I Care.

A heartfelt, emotional poem that is nicely written. You follow the theme very well throughout the poem. Your rhyme is good. You express your thoughts and feelings, about your experiences of inhumane and cruel treatment by ignorant people who think they are better than anyone that is a different from them, with words that enable the reader to feel your anger, pain, and sense of injustice. As I read the poem I could easily relate to why they might fear you due to the words you wrote. They are afraid you might give back to them what they did to you. Write on.

An emotional, nicely written free verse poem that encourages one to follow their head rather than their heart. You kept to the theme very effectively throughout the poem. You expressed your philosophy on the subject with words that conveyed to the reader your thoughts and feelings on the subject. However, I disagree, to some extent, because head knowledge is good in some circumstances, but if your heart isn`t into what you`re doing, it`s bound to cause you stress which can lead to all types of problems, possibly even failure, in what you were doing. Write on.

You conveyed the characters` thoughts and feelings with words that enabled the reader to feel their fear at some of the places they had to travel through to get to where they were going, then their elation at hearing how good the blues players were. While I was reading it I could mentally picture the events as they unfolded which brought the story to life for me. I do love listening to the blues, too. Write on.

Review of Withdrawal Pains  
Rated: E | (4.5)
A nicely written short story that I enjoyed reading. I liked the way you presented it by leading the reader to believe that Mary was addicted to hard core drugs and needed a fix, then it`s mentioned that China had bought up all the Coffee houses. Now it was obvious that she was addicted to the caffeine in coffee and was trying to kick the habit. I liked the conversations as they make the story more realistic. Keep the words flowing, write on.
