Angel Feathers

by Amethyst Autumn Angel

Rated: 18+ · 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...

The story which placed first at "Writing 4 Kids" is "Duck Family Vacation"

The poem which placed second at "Rebel Poetry Contest" is "Sourdough Moon"

In response to "Cat in a Haunted Mirror"

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

THE STORY

A construction guy inherits a mansion and wants to flip it but there's an annoying little mirror in the way...

WHAT I LIKED

That was some crazy vacuum!

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 1st person by an unnamed male narrator. Past tense is used in the story.

DIALOGUE

The dialogue accents the narration. Good use of dialogue tags.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph engages the reader in with a strong conversational tone along with a hint of the dramatic with Josh falling into the mirror.

CHARACTERS

The characters are colorful and unique. The contractor is likable enough but the vacuum steals the show.

In response to "Peg Legs, Parrots and Samurai Swords"

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

THE STORY

A parrot helps Captain O'Leary solve the Cop Shop Mystery on Founder's Day.

WHAT I LIKED

I liked how Captain O'Leary was inspired to flush the crooks out in the open. True Genius!

POV NARRATION/TENSE

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

DIALOGUE

The dialogue drives the narration.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph sets up the dilemma who stole the loot. There are a lot of suspects, but some are more suss than others.

CHARACTERS

The characters are highly entertaining and keep the readers engaged. Bingo had to be my favorite, but Brimley and Polly Wanda Cracka were a hoot in their own comedic ways.

Your poem reminds of a song by Carole King. Our lives truly are a tapestry woven from all our experiences.

In response to "NICE"

Hah! That's an interesting premise indeed.

Not sure about celebrating the birthday's twice in a year though. It's hard enough getting through one alone!
Fun read all around!

In response to "Diamonds in the Hills"

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

THE POEM

The poem took a look at the properties of a mountain.

WHAT I LIKED

As the poem began, I could see myself in a helicopter, flying over the mountain, making my assessments. Great way to put the reader in the moment.

STRUCTURE

This is a diamante poem. The rules involve having 7 seven lines, first and last line, just one word which is a noun, 2nd and 6th lines, 2 words which are adjectives, 3rd and 5th lines have 3 words which are verbs, 4th line has 4 words - nouns. Diamantes don't have to play hard by the rules, but they should take the shape of a diamond.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font and make it easier to read on WDC.

DESCRIPTIONS

The words used to describe this mountain really gave the mountain it's own look and personality. The use of the word "aiguille," I found an inspired word choice and I had to look it up for it's meaning.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening sets the stage for what to expect from the poem. The title, "Diamonds in the Hills," can be used for the obvious - the mountain is the diamond, but it's word "aiguille" that really fills out the description and makes the diamond take form and shape. Nice word play and expression. The poem followed the prompt and used one of the following words: mountain, beach, or forest. Good luck in the Bard's Hall Contest.

In response to "Raven Snow"

Nice comparison! I am more familiar with Wednesday, but your description of Elsa does have a similar attitude about seeking justice as Wednesday.

Good job!

A beautiful story and memorial told in a personal experience way. Thanks for sharing this and glad I found this 😁! 🎖️🇺🇸🚂🚉.
I love trains and as a kid thought I'd be a conductor on the Ny subway system.

Merjensees and Hurry-canes

Winnie the Pooh was awakened one morning by an urgent knocking at his door. He sat up, rubbing sand out of his eyes. His clock was stuck at half-past smackerel time, but it was too early for visitors. Stumbling to the door, he found Owl, still wearing a nightcap, his feathers tousled.

“There’s an emergency on our hands!”

Pooh checked his paws to see if they were sticky.

“I don't see any Merjensee on mine,” he said, puzzled. “Is that like Marmalade?”

“No indeed! A hurricane's coming. We must convene a consortium – formulate a plan of action.”

“I'm sorry, Owl…” Pooh scratched his head. “I'm a Bear of little Brain. Big words confuse me. What is a hurry-cane?”

“It’s a big whirling storm. We have to check on everyone.” Owl flapped his wings. “Come help!”

“Certainly. But…” Pooh looked past Owl's shoulder at the bright sunshine filtering through autumn leaves. “The weather looks lovely. How do you know there's a storm coming?’

“It’s in my almanac.”

Owl waved a thick, yellowed paperback in the air, taking off in search of Piglet. Pooh followed, pausing to snatch a honeypot from his pantry.

One by one, they gathered their friends to Owl's treehouse for a meeting.

“What's happening?” Piglet asked, ears quivering.

“I knew it was hurricane weather.” Eeyore shook his head. “We're doomed.”

“We'll be alright, dear,” Kanga soothed.

“Hoo-hoo-hoo!” Tigger bounced on his springy tail. “Are hurricanes good bouncing weather?”

“How absurd,” Rabbit grumbled. “I must prepare my home for the storm. No time to lollygag!”

Pooh sat beside Piglet, not saying anything because his mouth was full of honey. Owl cleared his throat, perching on his front porch railing in the tree. He adjusted his glasses, flipped through the almanac and announced his findings.

“According to expert calculations, a hurricane is scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Gale-force winds, torrential rains – an increased probability of rising floodwaters and downed trees. All precautions must be taken accordingly.”

Pooh raised a sticky paw.

“Where should we take the precautions to?”

“Do they stay with us during the hurry-cane?” Piglet asked.

“There is no need to fret,” Owl declared, authoritatively gruff. “Allow me to explain the accepted protocols…”

Just when Pooh was dozing off while Owl lectured, Christopher Robin appeared. He raised an eyebrow at the group's anxious expressions.

“What's wrong? Did Eeyore lose his tail again?”

“There's a hurricane coming!” Rabbit harrumphed. “Tell Owl I need to go batten down my hatches!”

“Really? I haven't heard.”

Owl showed him the almanac. Christopher Robin studied it carefully. He laughed and ran a hand through Owl's head feathers.

“Silly bird, this almanac is three years old! There isn't any hurricane at all. If there was, I would know.”

Owl looked around, coughing awkwardly.

“Oh dear me… Well, at least now we know how to prepare for one.”

“We do?” Pooh sat up straight again, feeling important.

“Let’s go play Poohsticks.” Christopher Robin waved everyone along the wooded path. “Remember, if there's a storm, I'll keep you all safe.”
