Review of Cousin Charles  
Rated: E | (4.0)
I am very sorry that your cousin had such a terrible life. You had this listed as a short story. However, it was written more in the form of a poem. Whatever happened to his children? Did you ever know his parents? As I read this, I wondered why he was acting the way that he did. The answer was that he was in pain and needed and wanted a way out. Maybe, now that he is with God, he can find the peace he always sought. Write ON!

Review of Brother's  
Rated: E | (4.0)
While I read this, I wondered what the years were when you were growing up. I grew up in the sixties. I did not see any typoes. However, I did see some errors in regard to how the poem was constructed. What I liked about the poem was its imagery and the story it told. There was not anything I disliked about the poem. Hopefully you and your brothers and sisters are all doing better and living the lives you wanted. Write ON!

Review of Richly Poor  
Rated: E | (4.0)
I am not a member of a large family. I am the oldest of four. This is a beautiful tribute to your parents and your siblings. Having love and closeness is a great deal better than what I had. You did a great job. Were your parents able to read your work? Did your siblings read it? Write On!

Review of To Melia  
Rated: E | (4.0)
I do not know what to say. I thought that my life was full of turmoil and strife. I am sorry that you and your wife were not blessed with any children. This article has numerous spelling and grammatical errors. However, I still was able to get its point. I am glad that you did not have to be in Vietnam. That was the war of my childhood. I hope your health improves. This was a very informative article. Write On!

Review of The Climb  
Rated: E | (5.0)
First, I have to say that I have wanted to review your pieces in a long time. I read this poem and it made me cry. Is your brother doing better? From the tone of the poem, it sounds like you were and are very close. Although I do not know what you or your brother looks like, I can imagine the two of you climbing a mountain and conquering it. My best to the two of you. Write On!

This interactive story reminds me of the movie Airport. Unlike your story, Airport was focused on one plane ride and several passengers and their lives. Your story also gave me an idea of doing this at a train or bus station. I have not read through all of the chapters. However, I did add to one aspect of the story. I hope you enjoy my entry. Great Work! Write On!

Review of Victims  
Rated: E | (4.0)
This is a very touching and emotional poem. As I read it, thoughts of Columbine entered my mind. I know that the poem is fictional. However, with what is occurring in the world now, it really bring the problem of teen violence to the forefront. You did a great job in the writing of this. Write On!

Review of The Next Victim  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I liked this story. In the beginning, I was losing interest. It seemed too complicated and involved. It was difficult to keep the characters and the plotline straight. The length of the story also was too long. This is very interesting. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. Write ON!

Review of Last orders  
Rated: E | (4.0)
This story was very funny. It was a dirty trick played on a guy, but there are times when all stops have to be pulled out. I was picturing Ralph's eyes getting wider by the minute as he saw the gir's father and the dog that was supposed to be pushing up daisies. Great Write.

Review of Still Waters  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
This story had me reaally confused. When I first started reading it, I thought it was a woman who was trying to end her life and exit the world. Obviously, she was thwarted twice before. As I completed the story, the woman turned out to be a dog? Or am I mistaken? It was very interesting and kept my interest. Write ON!

This story is fantastic. As I read it, I could see what was going on. My heart ached for Penny and hoped that she would make the correct decision. I was in an abusive relationship and was maritally raped by my ex husband. We have been divorced for ten years. Great Write! Wrie On!

Review of Mental Salvation  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
As I read this, all I can say is Wow!. I guess you are not a Bush lover. Your analogy of comparing the general public to lost sheep was good. Unfortunately, we cannot make people think the way we want them to. After all, this is the U.S.A., land of the free and also free thinking. I personally feel there are a great many things wrong with this country. I know I should get off my backside and do something, but I do not know what or how. Great Poem. Write On!

Review of Underwater Stones  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This poem is very deep. I had to read it twice to try to grasp its meaning. My meaning may be different from anyone else who may read this. What is the right stone? What is the wrong stone? I guess it is almost like turning over the cards of life, one at a time. Soon, you want to stop looking. Great poem. Write ON!

Review of The Best Gift

When I started reading the story, I was at a loss as to where it was going. As I delved into it more, I began to cry. I also have a son named Matthew. He is six years old and I treasure him beyond belief. I am so glad that you and your son were able to reconnect and start a new chapter in your lives. This is a beautiful story. Write On!

Review of The WDC Trip  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This piece was an insight into you and how and what you write. Although I have not visited your port and really delved into your writing, the pieces I have read, I have enjoyed. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. After reading this, I may sit down to write a piece of my own. I did not join Writing.com until 2003. It is too bad that I did not find this site sooner. I am glad that I have found this site and you as a friend. Write ON!

Review of Mothers Love  
Rated: E | (4.5)
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** This is a beautiful poem. I only have one son, age six. How old are your two boys now? The poem left me wondering. Are you still married to their father? I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. In your poem, you did the same thing I did in the letters to my son. These are in my port, if you care to look. They are in "Matthew's Letters [E]. Wrie On!

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** First of all, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family at the loss of your father. As I read your essay, I cried all the way through it. As I write this review, I'm still tearing up. This was very heart wrenching and thought provoking. My father is now seventy-five. He was a smoker for over fifty years. Earlier this year, he had to have a pacemaker inserted and may have emphazima. I hope that you and your family find the pain at this loss has eased somewhat. My heart goes out to you all. Write On!

Review of The Dialogue 500  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Dialogue 500 Rocks!!!! The forum allows the writers here explore and develop their inner voice. It also allows them to have those conversations that they may not have otherwise. I did not see any typoes or other mistakes. The way it is presented shows several genres. I have observed comedy, tragedy, thoughtfulness, horror, family issues and the like. You have done a fantastic job with this forum, Bill. It is well deservant of a ribbon. Write On!!!

Review of My Prayer  
Rated: E | (3.0)
This prayer is very nice. However, there are many typoes and mistakes. I will point them out to you:Line 1:People is mispelled. Line 2: curse should not be capitalized. People neglect responsibilities life andm destiny has tabled out for them: andm should not have an m. Also, tabled out should be set out. People due dance and still achievce nothing: It should be do dance, then achieve. "May you dance to the tune of destiny when it arrives your turn" should be when your turn arrives. If you change these, this will be a nice prayer. Write On! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
