that’s a pretty interesting incident of a two-way love, between you and the BMW, and you and wife.
Sometimes, the so called inanimate objects gain more affection than human beings.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!
In my own experience, I have noticed this perennial rivalry between the wife and the car. For some mysterious, inexplicable reason, a man refers to his four-wheeler as “she”.
I admire your everlasting love for the car that you bought after love at first sight and stuck to it despite the “fall”. First love is the best like first impressions, I suppose.
I am sure your wife has compromised on this rather serious bond between hubby and the car. Good for her to be resigned about this affair.
Loved the humour, the philosophy and the play of psychology through the story.
I am a bit fascinated with sports like parasailing. It gives one the feeling of floating in the air and overseeing the world from the whispering clouds.
Dreaming of parasailing in adorable company of your grand daughter has its advantages. First and foremost, you have someone to fall back upon if a situation demands.
Dreaming of something you know you will never attempt, gives your wings of imagination more power and as I can see create convincing pieces of writing.
I couldn't hold back from writing this review on your inspiring thoughts so well put in this article.

Have a lovely day.
Comparing your hard working self to a strong willow tree is apt and awesome. On the physical side, the willow looks so delicate and yes, crooked too. Yet, I saw them surviving storms and such. I just came to know that it needs a lot of water.
You thoughts are quite novel, when you say that a person who goes through trials and tribulations in life, like you for instance, is like a willow. In turn all the sadness and depression are turned to being helpful to others by offering timely advice and inspiration to find new hopes.
The analogy is perfect and I am happy I found this note on how to stand strong in the face of sudden shocks and life threatening tragedy.
I love your style of writing and the way you have brought in transformations from one para to the next.
the spiritual experience you have gone through appears rare and unique.
It shows how happy you are with the Divine Mother and that you find her as a soul companion and guardian.
Dancing with her in a kind of emotional and spiritual high can only be experienced. It is beyond anyone's ken.
Finding freedom via religious fervor is so very special. Nothing in the world is comparable to that freedom.
"I am free
and I am whole"
I can believe you.
The rhythm is felt through the poem as I read it.
Imagery is otherworldly.
Hello Angelica,

Have a lovely day.
This short poem sounds sweet with the images of night sky and the twinkling stars.
“Twinkling stars appeared
Shining brightly”
It is a glorious experience to watch stars at night shining like little gems on a clear sky and wonder about what lies behind them.
Eternal stars and eternal nights! Glory to the Creator!
I am reviewing this delightful children's poem for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day.
Writing from a child's point of view has nicely suited the content. Children keep trying shoes of different people as I noticed. Here's Charlie trying on every single family member's shoes and enjoying their feel and sound.
Onomatopoeia has done justice to the different sounds and their effectively matching words.
"Shoes are fun. I run, scamper, skip.
Spin, spin super fast. Flap, flop, flip."
This takes a lot of observation, thought and imagination.
Rhyming verse flows well with visual and aural imagery.
Your love of dreams drew me to this poem.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a great day.
Dreaming in the morning comes through this poem with clarity.
The time between predawn and dawn makes it look surreal like an ephemera, liking a passing shadow.
Your description of the disturbed dream shows your reluctance to come out of it, yet surrender to life's demands.
So you wait till night falls when you can slip back into favorite world of dreams.
Nicely written with well chosen words and with a great flow.
Christmas memories are well shown through this nicely written story.

Congratulations!
Have a lovely day.
I notice that among other visits during the festive season, you also visited nursing homes. I am impressed by this. Those elderly helpless individuals need Christmas cheer brought to them. I appreciate your effort in cheering as many people as you could. I am sure you are a cheerleader par excellence.
"We would visit at least one nursing home. Some times we could get to a couple of them."
Just great!
Your prose style is a pleasure to go through and the feelings expressed in here are so spontaneous.
I came across this love poem in your well organized port. This poem speaks to me from the point of view of not only someone who knows how to love but also someone who loves wisely.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing a wonderful creative year at the WDC. Have a lovely day!
It is so true that love is full of sweet pain. But you grin and bear the pain and continue to love. As the Bard has wisely put, " love is not love that alters..."
Your mention of Dove is interesting. You have separated love from dove and shown the difference quite convincingly. Meaning, keep religious feelings and love separate.
I know what it feels like letting them go. In a way, it's not us letting them go, but time decides to do that.
Your refrain, "My sons/ My sons" indicates the degree of pain you have undergone, and the intensity of attachment to them. It was the same with our parents I am sure.
None escapes the pleasure and pain of these unions and departures.
Memories and the attendant emotions are very clearly recalled.
"Friends and buddies
My sons and I"
More the affinity, more the attachment and more the lonely one becomes.
I also realized that there is no end to longing to have the past back but...unless one decides to get a grip on it.
Imagery is the best part of this poem written in free form.
I am Jaya, reviewing this sentimental verse for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!
My guess is that you were bidding goodbye to your classmates at the end of the year. If that is so, your feelings are similar to mine and several others, I am sure.
“ once upon a careless teenage summer”
It could be harder than I imagine!
They go back to their places carrying carefully stored memories.
Yet, saying goodbye could be hard. It leaves a cypher in one’s heart no doubt. That’s life.
Excellent use of images from nature to show the persistent loneliness.
“as a palm outward extends and waves goodbye
and leaves only the lonely boughs behind.”
Aptly said.
A poem about natural and inherent love. Though two halves, they are in fact a whole. One cannot exist without the other.
The way you have shown the oneness of being in love is consistent and convincing and weathers no opposition. A well made point.
"We, together, are a union of Two"
That two people in love become one is everybody's knowledge.
The special point here is to treat an old theme in a novel way.
"We, together, hold the certainty
Of Love Everlasting"
The value and meaning of togetherness is shown very well. It causes me to think about the ways and means of loving sincerely and devotedly.
It flows well with visual imagery and it offers a lot to ponder.
I like the way you translated something damaging as rain leak into a precious painting into an artistic manifestation.
That definitely explains the advantage of a positive outlook.
Points to ponder-
The weather in London and the condition of roads.
"The large droplets of water crashed against Martin’s raincoat as he skipped from puddle to puddle."
A tough walk to the art gallery.
The reckless way of handling something exclusive.
".... inevitably, had a gaping hole in the front of it."
I wonder why "inevitably".
this is a touching poem. The poet's thoughts are profound and meaningful.

Have a wonderful day.
All the feelings she expressed show the kind of loving person she was. Her intent in writing this verse too is so impressive. She knew how much she would be missed, yet she didn't want to be chained.
"Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief"
I admire her fearless nature in the face of death. She obviously took it as a way of God. There's so much to learn from her regarding life, happiness and the ultimate death.
this pleasantly rhyming verse is enough evidence of your poetic talent.
My review for this calming read is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!
You traced the Sun’s journey in quite an appealing way. I get to go over hills, dales, fields and rocky shores and much more. The thrill and joy you offer are priceless and precious.
Rhyme and rhythm of this poem are equally excellent.
I commend the fine word choices, and the concise and controlled content.
A fine poem with sensory imagery, it is one of a kind.
Hello Sharon,
this is a moving story, I appreciate a lot.

You have shown in the first part of the story, how to understand horse and maneuver him while riding.
Not an easy job by any means except with patience and love.
Bonding with a horse paid off in saving him towards the end.
The power of prayer is shown clearly.
Your flowing prose style and smooth transformations are winsome.

Halloween atmosphere is created very well in this nicely flowing verse. You brought in the horror element with the witch’s potion stirring in the cauldron, zombies, ghouls, goblins and the ghosts.
Words are used economy conveying exactly what is needed
I find it specially interesting that flying witch wishes the world, a happy halloween.
this highly personalized description of coffee got me to the quick. Everything about that mug of coffee at that special moment attains a meaning and local habitation.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!
The beauty of this piece is that you have taught me how to make an alluring mug of coffee, mixing my motive and desire for it.
You have used all the senses for the benefit of describing the ultimate taste of coffee. Ah, how heavenly it tastes!
Imagery is sensory and appeals to me from the beginning till you have the steaming brew in your hands.
I am truly impressed with the irony you used describing the best days of your life. Instead of mourning the loss of a nice day, you preferred the opposite. I appreciate that because in life I have come across several such incidents. Nothing like staying indifferent to such things.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!
Each day is made interesting by showing some mishap or the other, punctuated by, but, still, nevertheless and so on.
It is a bit of a consolation to find that such days are almost over. The rest hopefully would be all good ones minus unwanted things.
Well, we never know.
I love the style, the voice and the content of this very real poem.
It flows well with visual imagery and clear feelings.
"
I stopped to re-read certain lines because it looked as though it was me. It is as if you are spreading the panorama of life before my eyes.
I wonder whether you need to think of calling yourself a poet, when you know what it feels like one. Your verses prove that. Your words ooze sensitivity and lyrical charm.
Only a poet is aware of truth, painful though it might be.
"My life, then, would seem as though
it had been a clever choice and those around me
who have no use for my words
would be spared having to read them."
So what? Loss is theirs. As long as your words are a spontaneous flow of feelings, does it matter if others read them?
Your reflections are observations of life's lessons and experiences, the quintessence of real poetry.
I can see despite "regret" and "self pity," you enjoy writing, the blessed silver lining in the cloud.
Being "conventional" adds to confidence and uniqueness, particularly to poetry like yours.
Hi Mumsy,
It’s a lovely reflection on nature.
Two different sides of nature, each with its own uniqueness is well presented.
On the one hand, you dealt with nature appreciating its beauty and blessedness, on the other, you have shown what it means to have a newborn in the human world.
I appreciate the flowing prose by which means you have the beneficence of nature to all of us.
All the senses are aptly used .
It’s a reader’s delight.
