Hi Tim!

I happened upon your poetry and I'm glad that I did. I love the way you carefully considered the exact words to describe while rhyming. Also, the symbolism in here at the end is quite good. I was surprised that I could actually like a poem about business travel! Thanks for the read and keep up the good work.

Review of I stride

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi!

Thanks for sharing your poetry. It's beautiful and the symbolism is fantastic. Personally, I loved it. Freeverse is one of my favorite poetry styles because it can allow the artist to express themselves more thoroughly. I'm considerably happy that I chose this one to review.

Review of Switch

Hi,

I wanted to review your item and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the poetry! It is written very well and I loved the freeform. I particularly liked how you did it in 5 syllables at parts of it. It is a beautiful poem and I certainly can relate to the item you choose! The only thing I might suggest is where the periods are because it almost sounds like a whole sentence within a few parts. Way to go!

Keep writing,
Scott

Wow!
This is great! It mimics the exact thing I go through at least once a year. Like...now. lol
I try to keep it light and hide so people won't know and yet,the more we hide, the worse it gets.

It's a truly wonderful piece of work.

Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed by me are only from my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your piece.

Overall impression: This was a good story. I feel that it felt rushed somehow and would liked to have seen a longer version. I think you have the makings of a great story though if it were a bit longer.

Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed by me are only from my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your poetry.

Overall impression: I loved the poem! It was so utterly sad but with possible happiness just waiting right on the fringes. It shows how fragile marriage really is; with ups and downs that ultimately have us all on a trapeze. I could feel the emotion coming from the poem and visualize everything that was transpiring. Thanks so much for sharing and keep writing!!!!

Welcome to WdC! Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed by me are only my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your piece.

Overall impression: What you have to say in the piece is very admirable. The only thing that takes away from it are the multiple grammatical errors and fragmented sentences. If you edit it, I'm sure it will stand out more. Keep writing!

Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed by me are strictly from my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your story.

Overall impression: A very eerie story! It puts me in the mind of an R.L. Stine novel or Fear Street. Wonderfully constructed and I loved the ending. "Today I found one of those black marks on my chest" That was an excellent way to end the story. Good job and keep writing.

Please bear in mind that the opinions expressed by me are from my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your essay.

Overall impression: This has the makings of a very good essay! I enjoyed reading about you and your goals. I also liked the fact that you used quotes to back up what you said about yourself in your essay. However, there are several grammactical and spelling errors so you should look closely at this and edit it again. Also, it may sound better if a transitory word was used to begin each paragraph. Other than that..great job! Keep writing!

Overall impression: I felt the intense heartache from the author and this poem is very well written. It speaks of a man who's life has been reduced to crying uncontrollably and feeling helpless in his situation. Many people will be able to relate to this piece. A great piece of work. Keep writing!

Overall Impression:

I really liked your piece entitled 'Hidden Secrets'. I think everyone can relate to playing the part of the 'happy' person while inside we are an emotional mess at times. Your poem was very powerful and I loved the 'rusty lock' analogy. Great writing and keep up the good work!

Overall impression: I definitely got the sense that you found writing.com at a very integral part of your life; as did I. The writing flows well and you did a wonderful job at conveying your appreciation. The only suggestion I have is that you may want to edit for a minor mistake you made in writing 'me' instead of 'my'. Keep up the good work and keep writing!

This is a review from DREAM TEAM HQ. Please bear in mind that the opinions offered by me are strictly from my viewpoint. Ultimately, only you can decide what is right for your story.

Overall impression: This piece definitely made me laugh. I've read War and Peace a couple of times waiting on ...SOME PEOPLE who shall remain nameless...to either finish in the bathroom or to get ready to go somewhere. I don't think I've ever reallly had a hot shower? Very well written and many people can sympathize with the character. Keep up the good work and keep writing!

Overall Impression: Great piece of work. I definitely felt the pride from understanding and accepting who you are. I, too, understand what it feels like to be different as I am transgendered and have been through my transition from female to male. This piece spoke to me and I'm glad you are accepting of who you are and not letting anyone change that. The poetry spoke to me and I thank you for posting it. Keep writing and great job!

Overall impression: As much...and I mean MUCH...as I hate mathematics I truly loved this limerick! Of course, my mind is spinning like crazy and I have immense anxiety but from the math, but other than I thoroughly enjoyed it! (I just hope I can eventually figure it out mathematically.....I'm challenged in that respect...ha ha) Keep up the good work....great writing.

The opiniions offered by me are strictly from my viewpoint and are not to be taken literally. Please keep in mind that these notes are from one on the outside looking in, ultimately only you can decide what is right for your story.

Overall Impression: I loved this piece! The descriptives were right on spot and I could actually see the story of this man unfolding. I could also feel his pain. Well done. There were a few typos you may want to look at, for example, you wrote 'the' instead of he in the third line. Other than that...great job.

That was an extremely powerful and poignant poem! I also have someone with bipolar disorder in my family so I can definitely relate. Your descriptive words and the analogy was fantastic. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more from you in the near future!
