{c}
*Balloon2*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

It is basically a free verse. The words provide easy and smooth reading. beautiful imagery.
{c}
*Balloon3* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the story and its presentation. Slowly it fulls the reader with grief and leaves him/her in a drift even after the reading is completed. It reaches to the heart of course.
{c}
*Balloon4* SUGGESTIONS

All spelling suggestions are in red and suggestions for punctuations are in blue.
A couple of places you have used four periods. I am not quite sure that they exist as a literary pattern just check with them.

Review of Touched By Love  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Awesome one Ann

With a few modifications, can I read this poem to my boyfriend? He is always so rude to me... I guess even the toughest of the hearts will be compelled to fall in love after reading this poem, then my boyfriend is not that bad.
The expression of love is embodied in every word of the poem
great work dear

REVIEW OF:
"As I Wander'd Lone through Nature"   [E] by Davy Kraken
REVIEWED BY:Shara-vacationing till Feb 20

*Balloon1* THE PLOT

A poem that gracefully personifies nature and shows the author is allured by the bewitching beauty nature manifests.
{c}
*Balloon2*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

An original poem in the style of Walt Whitman. Here repetition of certain words with which the lines start is used to create an impact. It links the Threads to gether and yet keeps them separate. No particular meter is abided to. The poem is writen in the first person perspective. It uses personification of elements of nature.
{c}
*Balloon3* WHAT I LIKED

I just loved the words used for personification. They sound so charismatic and captivating. Good choice of words.
I also liked the coloring scheme used. makes each stanza more distinct.
{c}
*Balloon4* SUGGESTIONS

None...

*Balloon5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

*Balloon1* THE PLOT

A request to autumn... The poem suggests the plot...
{c}
*Balloon2*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

No particular Rhyme scheme is seen as such. No meter is found
{c}
*Balloon3* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the pic used... Beautiful I must say... Got it from the net?

And then most of all I liked the presentation of the poem


The poem uses just the appropriate colors to go with the description. Especially the change in font color for description of the first line of three stanzas that describe autumn and the first line of last stanza that describes winter, is noticeable and worth appreciation. Also the yellow and brown leaves was a good Idea...

REVIEW OF:
"And The Birds Sing"   [ASR] by Kenzie
REVIEWED BY:Shara-vacationing till Feb 20

*Balloon1* THE PLOT

The author awaits spring and watches an appreciates even the smallest signs of it...
{c}
*Balloon2*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

Basically a free verse arranged in duplets. The repetition used creates an effect. The only rhyming words used are in the last two lines which add to the beauty of the poem. the last line is isolated and hence focused on. The presentation is good and helps us read the poem as the author wants us to.
{c}
*Balloon3* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the words you have used and as the poem is writen out as a personal thought, I must say you are a good observer.
{c}
*Balloon4* SUGGESTIONS

None...

{c}
*Balloon5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

The poem is one with hope... Hope for the better to come up... But sorry for the half star I deducted... Its just that I like winter....

*Balloon3* WHAT I LIKED

*Balloon4* SUGGESTIONS

All suggested punctuations are in blue

All spelling mistakes/ suggestions are in red


I’m lost in a world, dying with no cure
Missing those days when I was innocent and pure.
I'll only live once, I’m always quick to realize
But I can’t even smile; I’m stuck with the sighs.
There’s one thing to move on from, it’s a troubling fact
That keeps me from glowing on a pedestal uncracked.
My hopes are still high I can relive better years
It’s just so unsettling, there’s no laughs but/and no tears.
It seems that the past weighs a lot on my mind
With all these images and thoughts that remind
How much better I felt so long ago.
But the present’s not the same as the past that I know.
I remember the times when I wasn’t alone
Befriended by others, true colors unknown
Thinking the world’s in the palm of my right
But what I was thinking was not quite
The fruit of the truth grew and showed me
These lives were of crime and delinquency.
The only people that ever showed me some life
Were living it dangerously, by the edge of a knife.
It’s so sad things turn out like this
Anything would be better than this deep, dark abyss
Feeling trapped in a void, a personal hell
A place where happiness lies dead in its cell,
Where joy and serenity await their abuse--
It’s not by choice,; feelings die without use

{c}
*Balloon5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

Gud work!!! Just look into the suggestions...

Review of An Ode to Myself

REVIEW OF:
"An Ode to Myself"   [E] by Cynaemon
REVIEWED BY: SHARA

*Flower5* THE PLOT

An ode to the writer herself

*Flower5*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

Though the stanzas dont follow a particular rhyme scheme, the words that rhyme create a mellifluous effect. No meter is adhered to.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the description bout the poetess. When told to write bout oneself, many people show negative attitude. I liked the positive approach of the writer.

*Flower5* SUGGESTIONS

Hey I think you should include your picture with the poem. Just to add to the effect... and also for us to know you better (e:smile}

*Flower5*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

No particular rhyme scheme is found but the rhythm is well maintained with a few rhyming words and the presentation helps us to read better.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the poem. Especially, I liked the piano relieving the poetess from her pains and anguish. Music truely has its own effects...

REVIEW OF:
"FAITH, NATURE & INSPIRATIONAL"   [13+] by Dr M C Gupta
REVIEWED BY: SHARA

*Flower5* THE PLOT

A reflection over life with a spiritual point of view.

*Flower5*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

A tritina.
Here is the description
* Written as a tritina in pentameter

* The Tritina is a ten- lined poem, divided over three tercets and a single line. The end words of the three lines in the first tercet are repeated as per the following scheme:

A/B/C
C/A/B
B/C/A

A,B,C

Iambic pentameter is found in most of lines.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the strict adherence to the form of a tritina. The pentameter is also exact and the words flow smoothly. They do not sound forced. the theme selected is also beautiful.

*Flower5* SUGGESTIONS

Nothing to go here.

*Flower5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

The poem strictly follows the pentameter and hence sounds beautiful from a professional point of view.

REVIEW OF:
"Christmas Sky"   [E] by Prosperous Snow celebrating }
REVIEWED BY: SHARA

*Flower5* THE PLOT

Another christmas poetry or rather tritina... Describing the various hues of the christmas sky...

*Flower5*RHYME, RHYTHM AND METER

The tritina follows a rhyme scheme of abc, cab, bca for the three tercets and in the last singlet internal whyme scheme is abc. It is a sestina. you wont find rhyming words but the words themselves are repeated.


*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

The description of the christmas sky is beautiful. And it seems to be a form of concrete verse.

*Flower5* SUGGESTIONS

Well if you want to call it a tritina, then a tritina also requires the lines to be in a particular meter that is either a pentameter or a tetrameter. Some of your lines do not fit in these two.

*Flower5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

Gud job. Just look thru the meter!!!

Review of Love  
Rated: E | (4.0)
REVIEW OF:
"Love"   [E] by Chris Haines
REVIEWED BY: SHARA

*Flower5* THE THEME

The poem describes "love" *Heart*... One which cannot be described in all the words that humans know and yet seems to express itself in so many words...

*Flower5* THE RHYME AND RHYTHM

It follows a rhyme scheme of aabbccddeeffgghh
The rhythm of the words is also gud and the reader can read through very fluently. Yet at some places it seems to break, not affecting the flow in any noticeable way though.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the description. It is very vague and somehow so very close to every person's heart.
I especially liked the lines

"Love has inspired the words on this page"
"My love is true, and I need you to see
My love is you, so please be with me."

*Flower5* SUGGESTIONS
I feel that a comma after the first line would make it sound gud. And somehow the second last line seems to have used words only for the rhyming effect. Brush it up and i Feel you can come up with something much better..

*Flower5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

THE POEM SPEAKS OUT YOUR MIND WELL... KEEP GOING WITH POETRY.

REVIEW OF:
""Home With Jesus Christ""   [E] by Kings
REVIEWED BY: SHARA


*Flower5* THE PLOT

CHRISTMAS BREEZE IS IN THE AIR...
THE FRAGRANCE CARRIED CARRESSES OUR SOULS...
WE AWAIT THE BIRTH OF A SAVIOUR...
AS THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE THE WORLD SLEEPS WHILE WE CELEBRATE3 THE BIRTH OF CHRIST...OUR SAVANT...

Hmmm the poem sounds to be writen on the occasion of Christmas and carries a value with it.
It asks the masses to convert themselves to true christians this christmas...

*Flower5* THE RHYME, RHYTHM AND METRE

No adherence to particular rhyme scheme as such. Not writen in any paritcular metrical form. The words just rhyme randomly and create some effect to add to the flow of the poem.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

WHAT I LIKED THE MOST IS THE MESSAGE THAT THE POEM CONVEYS.
It asks the people to convert their home into churches and more so it asks the parents to inspire their children to lead the life of a true christian. In simple words, the poem also inspires each one of us to work for the welfare of those troubled, around us.

*Flower5* SUGGESTIONS

I dont know why but just as I read thru the last stanza i felt it would sound more beautiful as

He died on the cross
to cleanse man from sin
What greater gift could He
have given us, His kin.

*Flower5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

Just the perfect poem to be read out at the gatherings for Xmas celebrations...

ANd hey King once again Thanks for the GPs...
They will help me to buy the upgrade... I am really working on GPs. Cant afford paid membership... but cant live without writing.com and so GPs are my savant for the while

Review of Labels  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
REVIEW OF:
"Labels"   [13+] by Student
REVIEWED BY: SHARA


*Flower5* THE CENTRAL THEME

The writer talks about "labels" that we give out to people or situations or feelings,etc. The writer describes them through narrating her personal experiences.
The essay is written in the first person perspective.

*Flower5* WHAT I LIKED

I really liked the way the author has presented the essay. It looks like she is holding a conversation. The questions asked, the irony used, all give us a feel of a face-to-face conversation with the writer, where we listen like a passive listener trying to get the max out of it.

*Flower5* THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES MENTIONED

I have always said "Reality finds itself presented better on paper than fiction".

By narrating her own personal experiences, the writer has helped us to relate to the essay. Her experiences sets the reader's mind thinking bout similar situations that he/she might have faced. It gives a feel to the essay and adds in just that extra little bit that makes it stand out from other essays.

*Flower5*SOME SUGGESTIONS

Not a suggestion I would call it. It is something to do with punctuationa and I am weak at it too.
Yet while I read the line
"Those members of my family that it happened to kept quiet, pretending it didn't happen."

I feel that a comma after "it happened to" would help the reader read and comprehend the matter easily.

*Flower5* OVERALL IMPRESSION

The essay reflects well the social issues of "labeling" and leaves the reader thinking, with the questions that form the conclusion

GUD WORK
WRITE ON!!!
