Review of I lost  
Review by RogerBlingham
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (3.5)
This random record of feelings at times should make one think and at times confuse too. I am not really convinced with the title though. It could have been something else too. Having said that, I enjoyed reading it from the mid point as I realized this one is a just read for the sake of feelings. Keep writing.

Review of Holding the Line  
Review by RogerBlingham

Rated: E | (3.5)
The title attracted me to this poem. While I read a poem, I always look for a take away in the form of a witty quotable line/lines. I did not find any. To that extent it was a disappointment. Otherwise by using simple words you have tried to convey your ideas, which is appreciable. Somehow, I am finding that title may not be very suitable for this poem.

"With attitude and desire Can overcome any demeaning" is my take away from this poem. Overall I have liked this poem, not for the way it has been written, but the deep meaning and the support it provides to face the so called problems of the life with courage. The beauty of the whole thing is that 'the moment you show the persistence, the courage becomes extraordinary, automatically'. Thank you for reminding me.

Review of Revenge so sweet  
Review by RogerBlingham

Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
I think it is time you pushed the story beyond what you have written. It is only a matter of making up your mind and this piece has demonstrated potential to do so. Most of us have starting trouble. Hope you can overcome it. Coming to this particular writing, it is too little for a review. Just tells about need for a revange. Please continue to develop on the theme.

"searching my mind for a metaphor,to find one that no one has used before." fantastic! As a writer I have been and I am and I will be doing that forever! I generally have issues with single word titles. This poem deserves the title it has got. Except "You'd think that I'd find one after some time,
though I still only think of "like fine wine."" you have rhymed very well. Keep writing such good poems. Thanks.

Your attempt to describe entire lifetime with twenty three(yes 23) lines of text is really appreciated. Best of all is you telling "what expect is not what you get" which I have faced almost everyday of my living. No. I am not disappointed. Quite on the contrary. It makes the life pretty spiced up. I have enjoyed your poem. Keep writing. I have recorded my feelings after the complete read. I did not go deep into the writing mechanics as it was a easy flow thing.

I spent quite a lot of time with this one. In fact I had read part-2 earlier without having the knowledge
about the existence of this part. In fact, after reading this part-2 made more sense.

I liked this short story for the sheer range of feelings it created inside me.We all would have undergone
similar scenario in life. Of course it may not be about love between a male and female. It may be about something we disparately wanted to do as the situation presented itself.

Now coming to narration. It is gripping for me. Perhaps, reading part-2 earlier made that possible. Beyond that the way you have depicted the feelings that are generated, the successes and failures getting exposed in a really thin story line is very imaginative.

I have read it three times before writing this review. Actually, I wanted to unearth some language related mechanics in the third reading. Obviously, I have not been able to as I get caught into the story line pretty quickly.

It may be due to my undergoing several situations involving ecstatic waits, having successes
and failures though not necessarily with respect to man and woman relationships.

You have the ability to detail the experiential feeling. I feel you should stick to that style.

It is in depicting the extremities of human behavior through the story, movies help us to understand and feel without spilling the real blood. Dramatization is a necessary part of achieving that. I am visualizing two kinds of dramatizations in your writing. One the real movie itself. Two, the way you have written the review. I liked it. Thanks.

Review of My Secret Passion  
Review by RogerBlingham
Rated: E | (4.0)
It looks strange to keep your passion a secret for two and half decades. Leaving that part aside, coming to poem itself, I could feel your need for expressing your feelings and in that direction you have done that well through the medium of words. Even I would try to do the same with my own passion.The words"His passionate songs flowed through me," turn out to be my take away. Thank you.

Review of Come find me  
Review by RogerBlingham
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
I felt it to be nice idea rather than the actual words used. The invitation to "come and find" generally goes against the advice one gets from the outside world, which says "go get it!". The whole thing feels nice for reading although I am not sure how it may feel in a composition. Idea is nice and you should be keeping on writing this kind of stuff.

It is an apt title for the content and mechanics of the story. But I had a paradox facing me squarely. It did not take long for me to get absorbed into the details and I did not know when it ended.In fact would have happily read few more pages for the sheer flow of writing. I have not gone through the mechanics of the language etc. It is highly readable for the mental picture it can create for the wait. However, your cutting the wait short using sleep(clock and alarm) looked bit awkward!

Nice one. Quick and sweet. There may be more such things free. A proper spiritual analysis will reveal them. But do you know what is going to be the conclusion at the end? It translates to Love(not the one as it is shown in films anyway). You can call it from God or any other name/label. It is your choice. That is called as energy or spirit. Thanks for putting this one in front of me.

Review of The Book  
Review by RogerBlingham

Rated: E | (4.5)
This nice poem addressed two important issues I face as a writer. Yes it is about the book I wrote. First of the issue is to deal with the dream and second one about the effort,pain and tears. Coming to the poem itself, you have rhymed it nicely. May I suggest a small correction : Please change the alphabet 'a' into capitals. Thanks for invoking some worth while feelings.

Thanks for reminding me to appreciate my guardian angle with the lines "Forever safe in loving arms
I have met my guardian angel.". I feel it is a nice poem, although little more could have been tried with respect to rhyming.Keep writing such things. They serve as reminders to the readers. Thanks again.

Since you opened it as a story, my review will look at it as a story. Out of the list "One of hope. One of happiness. One of friendship. One of deception... One of corruption" This particular part seems to have covered perhaps happiness and nothing else. Only thing I liked in this incomplete story is the description of innocence of the girl. Are there more parts to this story?

Review of That's you  
Review by RogerBlingham
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
"What if I told you love can be deathly unkind" well said. It is a known fact that love does not know kindness at all.Similar case is the case with justice. I have read your poem with curiosity. I liked the rhyming. On finishing the reading I felt very nice. It is hard to find proper rhyming these days. Keep it up.

First of all I am not sure whether this has a story. I have read it four times. May be my understanding is faulty. That being said, I have looked at your ability with language and expressions. I feel they are good enough to create decent stories, if you want to.

"Not even after their had been broken into" needs a correction. Otherwise, the story depicts the issues facing elders in a nice manner. I got caught into the story and moved easily until I came across missing word. Then there was a small break and I continue and before I could get into ...it was over! You have good ability. Keep writing.

Do you see a paradox here? "love never announces itself" is the way love announces itself! You have given a set of decent examples of how the love happens. I felt good after reading this one and also felt that I could read more of such a stuff. I think you have the ability to write convincingly. Please develop on that.

Were you in a hurry to publish this? It is not a rocket science today to have a decent spell check.Having said that, I noticed your discomfort in explaining why she could not catch up with the guy. And promptly I am not convinced. Important point I want make is that you have the ability to look into details and explain them. Please expand on your strengths.

Review of Time

Too small and good. I know it will loose its crispness if expanded. Is it not a good idea to somehow expand it without losing the basic theme you espouse. In nineteen words you really cannot do justice to the theme you are trying to project. Please expand on the idea.

Review of Perfectionism  
Review by RogerBlingham
Rated: E | (4.0)
" not as a special case but as the only case" is something I liked too much. You have put in good amount of effort in writing this and here are my appreciations for the same. Meanwhile, it is important to remember that expecting perfection from others can lead us to a lot of disappointments. You are a good writer. Keep writing.

First four lines felt nice because of rhyming. Last line went out of the way. Perhaps you should add another stanza to to arrive at your title.

This is a reasonably well written, well rhyming poem. By any chance was there an attempt to force rhyming? I felt so in the last two lines.

For 16 minutes it is a good thing. Please treat it as a draft and revise. There is a good story in it. However, it reflects the market conditions of the day. One question needs to be asked to you. Beyond this why can't you write different kind of things? I hope you will! Better rating will be due for you, if you move it beyond draft. Thanks anyway!
