Angel Feathers

by Amethyst Snow Angel

Rated: ASR · Book · Writing · #2338096

Brief prose and poetry lacking other categories...

Basically anything under 1500 words. Enjoy

The poem which won 1st place at "Rebel Poetry Contest" is "Stained Portrait" . I don't usually write in such an overdramatic fashion

The poem which placed second at "Writing 4 Kids" is "Earth is Home" . That is more of my style

The story which placed second at "The Bard's Hall Contest" is "Peg Legs, Parrots and Samurai Swords" . I occasionally write something that might be considered funny...

First place (story) at "Writing 4 Kids" is "Duck Family Vacation"

Second place (poem) at "Rebel Poetry Contest" is "Sourdough Moon"

Honorable Mention (poem) at "Shadows and Light Poetry Contest" is "Faith vs Fear"

In response to "Timewarp"

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

Our unnamed narrator travels back in time using a box of magic and encounters a young man named Yeshua.

WHAT I LIKED

The premise of the time travel was easy to believe. Good narrator voice made the story flow right along. Heck, as I read I thought the narrator was a woman, but - the character voice is so good, and so deep - it could have been a guy. Well done.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 3rd person omnisicent. Past tense is used in the story.

DIALOGUE

The dialogue accents the narration.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph draws the reader with a good conversational voice and teases them about the timewarp. It's intriguing and keeps the reader, well, reading.

CHARACTERS

Our unnamed narrator gets themselves in a pickle and it's heartwarming to see who gets them out of it!

In response to "Broken Windows"

Thank you for sharing this. I had to sit with it for a while, because it touches on something very real and very tender. I understand what you’re saying here—the instinct to retreat when life feels heavy or unsafe, to board ourselves up after hurt or betrayal, even though part of us knows we were meant to live and love more openly.

The image of the heart “gathering dust” especially stayed with me. That quiet stillness, not from lack of feeling but from self-protection, is something I recognize deeply. And the way you describe Christ’s voice as a whisper rather than a command feels important—it reads as an invitation, not judgment. A gentle reminder that life asks something of us, even when we’re tired or afraid.

What I hear in this poem isn’t certainty, but honesty. You’re not claiming to have arrived anywhere—you’re naming the struggle between hiding and opening, between retreat and love. That longing to let Love flow through again, even after everything, feels brave to me.

Thank you for putting words to something that’s so difficult to say out loud. It helped me feel less alone with feelings I know well.

Kind wishes,
Tee

In response to "Veteran's Hip-hop"

Thanks so much for sharing. Honestly, I enjoyed this creative style of poetry as it was presented. I know the Afghanistan conflict wasn't easy. You've summed a lot an amazing swing of emotions from pride, to pain, to coming to terms and wanting to reach out to others. Well done. Thanks for a creative entry over at the Veterans Group!

Found this through the Bard’s Hall. I wonder if he saw Yeshua again, and why did Kevin cancel on him? Enjoyed this little time travel.

Great character voice. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching the drama unfold.

This is told by a letter written by Layla. Past tense is used in the story.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph sets the stage in Dublin Ireland for the hijinks.

FLOW & PACING

The opening does a good job setting up the story, the middle is where the confusion unfolds, and the ending has a good resolution.

I could stay here and read all day. I love it, but I have to go do laundry. Have a good one.

Broken Windows

Why do I recoil against life's dirge?
Mournful downer notes trumpet
through
broken
windows
I board up against treachery—retreating.
My heart gathers dust. Christ whispers,
“I died for you—can you not live for Me?”
I pray to open myself, letting Love flow through.
