Review of Party Platter  Open in new Window.
Review by Kristi Author IconMail Icon

Rated: 18+ | (4.5)

Hello 🌖 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon. After reading "Party PlatterOpen in new Window., I would like to offer you your final review of five. I do hope you enjoyed me visiting your port as much as I enjoyed it!

Party Platter Open in new Window. (18+)
An idea to liven up a party turns out different than planned. (Adult Humor)
#1570132 by 🌖 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon


Oh my goodness! What a delicious feast with a comical twist!


MY FAVORITE PART

As the drinks and evening moved on, we hit upon the scheme
to show culinary appreciation by licking the platters clean.
From nervousness to full out lust – the meal proved a success
and everyone enjoyed themselves and no one made a mess!



SUGGESTIONS

*Star* We did away with knives and forks, they just were no good.
*Note3* To me, when I read this line out loud, it sounded better when I reversed the order of "they just were no good" to "they were just no good". This could just be me though.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Although there were a couple of spots that didn't seem to flow as naturally as all your other poetry, I was still held captive by your talent. What I like best about this particular erotic piece is how it took me on a couple of different journeys. At first, I thought it was going to be a "swap meet", but was delighted to learn that it wasn't. The ending is incredible and I couldn't help but literally laugh out loud. Thank you again for another masterpiece!


Warmest Best,

Review of
Hearts On The Street Open in new Window. (18+)
She walks the streets at night. A different kind of love poem...
#1534112 by 🌖 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon


This is a piece that needs to be read and understood by the masses.


MY FAVORITE PART

The grasping hands, the dance of skin, in cars and alleyways,
have not dimmed the love she feels, have not dimmed her gaze
toward a future where her kids can escape their destined role.
These momentary degradations cannot touch her soul.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* I do not have one single suggestion to offer this amazing piece.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

This is, by far, one of my all time favorites. Not just from your port, but from every one of them that I have visited - EVER!! The message contained within reminds me of the old Bob Seger song, "Turn the Page" and the video that Metallica made when they redid the song. You are so right to urge us all to never judge, for we do not know what is in the hearts of others. We do not know WHY some people do the things they do and we are way too quick to shun when we have no real clue. Thank you for driving this point home through such a captivating poem.

#1490094 by Mara ♣ McBain Author IconMail Icon


What a unique dedication and tribute to the author's best friend! This is way too cool!!


MY FAVORITE PART

S ~ Snarky…and yes people it is a word. LOL Even good ol’ Merriam-Webster has finally recognized it. It should have a picture of Adriana.
1 : CROTCHETY , SNAPPISH
2 : sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner <snarky lyrics>
— snark•i•ly \-kə-lē\ adverb



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* I can't think of one single thing to offer as a suggestion for improvement.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I am genuinely jealous!! *Wink* This is a brilliant and very creative way to pay tribute to a person who has touched your life in so many ways. This definitely puts an Acrostic to shame and I may have to "borrow" this idea from you and write my own tributes to a few friends. I thank you for giving us all the opportunity to get to know Adriana through your awesome, lettered descriptions! I bet she was thrilled and not at all snarky when she viewed it! This was a real pleasure to read. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all!!

A mother remembers the joy of children playing~A sestina poem 12/09 Quotation Inspiration
#1627458 by Mara ♣ McBain Author IconMail Icon


Quite an impressive piece that depicts the fun that can be had in the wintery snow!


MY FAVORITE PART

The dog bounds in taking the youngest to the ground.
The laughter is cheerful and bright;
as the two roll in the snow
full of energy and play.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* Had I observed any errors or breaks in flow, I would mention them here. But, since this piece is perfect, I have no suggestions to offer!


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Being a native Texan, I am not accustomed to such fun. However, you successfully took me right there, right to the action packed enjoyment of kids, dogs and even adults romping in the glistening snow. I have had the pleasure a few times of delighting in this type of wintery fun, however those times were few and far between and quite long ago. It has been many, many years since I have had an opportunity to create a snow angel. Thank you for allowing me to venture there in my fondest of memories. This is a beautiful piece that can be loved by many readers of all ages!

A scary but humorous look at the monsters of 2009, 2010, 2011 ... 2023, 2024
#1602627 by 🌖 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon


This is a spectacular read for anyone in the United States who has fallen victim to the cruel and inhumane current state of the economy.


MY FAVORITE PART

Creaking noises from the market,
as prices sag like Spanish moss,



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* Again, no suggestion for improvement!


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I love your style, your humor, your out of this world poetic talent. You have taken me on so many different journeys, from sad to comical, from enlightening to inspiring. I honestly don't know which poetic genre best suits your skill; you have mastered them all! Thank you so much for sharing this great twist on the Monsters of 2009!

Lust at first sight (Adult Humor)
#1622701 by 🌖 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon


Oh my goodness!! This is not what I was expecting as I was reading this sweet and seductive piece! *Laugh*


MY FAVORITE PART

The soft welcoming feel of your breasts,
as they find freedom from cloying restriction,
start the fires that will soon consume us
as we give in to pleasure's addiction.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* I try so hard, but always in vain, to find some type of constructive criticism to offer you. As with every other review of your poetry, I have nothing to suggest for improvement!


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Well, you got me on this one! You had me all worked up, feeling the heat of lustful desire, just to... well, you know! I don't want to ruin the surprise for future readers! I am still sitting here with a silly looking grin on my face, totally shocked by the ending! Thank you for adding another chuckle to my day and for providing me with awesome reading material!

A poem: A name can potentially influence a child's development...
#1570629 by George R. Lasher Author IconMail Icon


*Laugh* *Laugh* Another hysterical piece that offered me an opportunity to add a new word to my vocabulary!


MY FAVORITE PART

When through with the boys,
I chased all the girls.
I yanked on their pigtails
and pulled on their curls.



SUGGESTIONS

*Star* A “gift” from my Mother,
*Note3* I would change "Mother" to lowercase since it is being used as a noun rather than a proper noun.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I absolutely love your sense of humor! And your ability to tell a story through a perfect rhythm and rhyme is incredible! I am a bit surprised that I have never heard the word "salacious", but am glad to have been introduced to it and in such a comical manner. I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting this particular folder and hope that you have many plans of adding more to it soon. I will be checking back often for new songs/poetry!

*Laugh* *Laugh* *Laugh* This is way too funny! Especially "a big fat giraffe"!! How many fat giraffe's are out running loose? Way too funny!


MY FAVORITE PART

Gawk all you want, but be kind and don't laugh.
I can't help that I look like a big, fat giraffe.



SUGGESTIONS

OVERALL IMPRESSION

This is a hysterical little "ditty" that still has me grinning from ear to ear! I love the cowboy/western theme it has; being a Native Texan, I have to appreciate that! I grinned all the way through, but was really impressed with the last line!! The rhythm and the rhyme are both spectacular throughout and I thank you for such an entertaining little read!

Keys from the Master fade away
#1210159 by Daizy May Author IconMail Icon


A marvelous poetic story that reveals the magical entering of Heaven!


MY FAVORITE PART

The old man stepped over the threshold
Standing tall and bent no more;
He had received a new body
When he opened Heaven's front door.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* I have no suggestions to offer this already perfect piece!!


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I simply love the manner in which you delivered this message. When I first began reading, I envisioned a castle with a king being the master, but not the Heavenly castle that soon appeared before my eyes as I kept reading. I very much enjoyed the "surprise" when I realized the master in this story was the Heavenly Father! The imagery included within the words is illuminating and pleasant. Thank you for yet another very enjoyable read!!

Review of
Roses In Winter Open in new Window. (E)
Written for Kansaspoet Title Prompt
#1148531 by Daizy May Author IconMail Icon


A splendid message that urges us all to eliminate the negative contraction "can't" from our vocabulary!!


MY FAVORITE PART

I'm tired of hearing can't
Day after endless day.
I want to try it out,
Tell can't to go away!



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* I fully realize the freedom a poet has in terms of grammar and punctuation in his/her piece of art. But, if I may, I would like to suggest changing the relevant capital letters on every first line. If the line continues from the previous one, I would make it lowercase. Please understand that this is just a particular "like" for me when reading poetry as it helps me with the smooth flow of the message being delivered.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

The message contained within this piece is brilliant. As a child growing up, my step-father used to always tell me, "Can't never could." Although I regretfully and ashamedly make use of the word, I would do so much better without it. I have tried to eliminate words of the same likeness; i.e. never, no, not, don't, won't, etc... It is a bit difficult, especially after using them for so long, but it IS possible and it DOES work in generating much more positive vibes, not only for the person speaking, but for all the people listening. Removing such words also enhances a person's vocabulary and encourages the brain to seek out much more appropriate terms. You rock for putting this out there for us!! Thank you so much for offering this work of art for all of our reading pleasure!!

Review of
 Why I Should Run Away Open in new Window. (E)
A rhyming short, short story from a cats point of view
#1148455 by Daizy May Author IconMail Icon


What a cute and precious rhyming short story from the perspective of a cat!


MY FAVORITE PART

I don't understand why she feels the need to screech like a wart-nosed, ugly, old witch. Most of the time they're already dead, although, once in a while they twitch.


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* She calls the tall human to take my trophies away.
*Note3* Although this line/sentence is necessary information for the reader, it has no line that rhymes with it. This threw me off a bit.

*Star* She's picked me up and placed on her lap.
*Note4* Consider inserting "me" directly after "placed".


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I can never get enough of poetry or stories that are written from the voice of an animal! Readers of all ages can certainly appreciate the lighthearted message that is delivered from a pet's point of view. Again, thank you for sharing your talent with us all!

Review of
In Search Of Serenity Open in new Window. (E)
Will we know serenity when we see it?
#1163789 by Daizy May Author IconMail Icon


A clever piece that tells a short, poetic story about the character discovering serenity.


MY FAVORITE PART

The darkness of the woods was
Like the darkness of my wrath.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* Consider selecting an appropriate "Item Genre" for this piece besides the default "Other". I believe it would attract more readers if it were to be listed as "Experience" or anything more relevant.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I have been on my own personal search for serenity for decades. I am finally closing in on it and couldn't be happier! We all have to discover that inner peace in our own way, whether it be from within the dense woods, on the city streets, or just in our heart. I appreciated the way that "Serenity" presented itself to the character after a brief run from the unknown. Thank you for sharing this talent of yours with us all!

#1621758 by jaya Author IconMail Icon


A very powerful piece that tells all about "self inflicted misery" in regards to mistakes made in a relationship.


MY FAVORITE PART

There cannot be a darker power
than jealousy born of doubt.
Oh! Merciful God in Heaven,
on my knees I prithee, atone my sin.

Review of
 Chapter Three Open in new Window. (18+)
The "disease" spreads.
#1610330 by Hyperiongate Author IconMail Icon


Chapter Three, in this sci fi series is more riveting than the first two! I love the ending of this particular chapter. It leaves the reader wanting to progress forward through the story immediately!


MY FAVORITE PART

sort of like trying to take salt off of mashed potatoes.


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* It wasn’t arrogance. It just had never happened before.
*Note3* Consider combining these two short sentences together by using a semicolon between them.

*Star* The thieves felt no guilt at their actions.
*Note4* I think this would read a tad better if you used "for" instead of "at" their actions.



OVERALL IMPRESSION

Here we are at Chapter Three and I am still intrigued by the plot. There is no telling where Chapter Four will take me. I really like the twist that was thrown in by the pandemic and how the citizens of San Francisco are going about handling their fear of the unknown. I am on my way to Chapter Four right now!

The thieves begin to steal memories.
#1609677 by Hyperiongate Author IconMail Icon


Chapter Two of The Memory Thieves: the plot is growing and has my interest peaked!


MY FAVORITE PART

Sadie sat down and scratched at something she couldn’t quite reach. That always seemed to be the case. Maybe she could get her boy, Bobby to do it for her. Her nose located him somewhere outside. She exited the house through the dog door and headed around to the backyard.


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* It drank deeply for it had been a long time between meals.
*Note3* Consider placing a comma after "deeply".


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Again, I can't wait to get to Chapter Three! I am enjoying the buildup of this story and may turn into a sci fi fan before I am finished reading! Great job in re-introducing me to a genre I have neglected for years!!

Review of
 Chapter One Open in new Window. (E)
The memory thieves arrive.
#1609406 by Hyperiongate Author IconMail Icon


A sci-fi short story built around two required prompts: Mention the season fall; something has to be born. Both were done perfectly, which gave rise to an interesting plot.


MY FAVORITE PART

Something strange rode across the universe. Its vessel was small and fast, riding on a beam of light. Massless and without form, it searched through the boundless playground of time, stars and gravity wells in search of one thing; to satisfy its curiosity.


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* in search of one thing; to satisfy its curiosity.
*Note3* I could be wrong, as I realize there are more uses for the semicolon than just one, but I think a colon is more justified in this case.

*Star* It knew not joy or fear.
*Note4* I think this would read better if it were to be: "It knew neither joy nor fear." Just a suggestion.

*Star* Now, it focused on a small planet
*Note5* In the paragraph that preceded this sentence, "it" was referred to as a proper noun, being capitalized each time. However, this time it is not.

*Star* There was to comet tail or splashdown.
*Note4* I think "to" is supposed to be "no".

*Star* nothing out of the ordinary for a early fall morning.
*Note4* Should be "an" early fall morning.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

I must admit that I am not a huge fan of science fiction; however, I did always love how Ray Bradbury could take me on some fascinating journeys when I was younger with his short stories. I notice that this is Chapter One and am actually eager to continue reading about the explorations of the memory thieves. You have caused me to develop a different type of fear of mosquitoes than I previously had! Good job in bringing it to life for me, the reader. I will be back for more!!

Review of
Pumpkins And Long Johns Open in new Window. (13+)
Why would these simple things cause so much trouble?
#1292350 by dejavu_BIG computerprobs Author IconMail Icon


A funny and delightful story of a couple who had been married for many years, bickering over silly things! This brought a huge smile to my face!!


MY FAVORITE PART

“I warned you I would if you refused to wear your glasses when you rode it,” Mary replied tartly.” I’m going to cook that pumpkin too.”


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* rosy cheeks and thick white hair, negated his imposing size.
*Note3* I am not 100% certain, but don't think the comma after "hair" is necessary.

*Star* I, being a Doctor of sublime conscientiousness to my work was determined to set their problems right.
*Note4* Consider changing "Doctor" to lower case since it is being used here as a noun rather than a proper noun. Also, I would insert a comma after "work".

*Star* “The Grandchildren love my baking ”She explained.”Dr.Fox,
*Note5* The end quotation mark needs to be backed up one space with a comma after "baking" and before the end quotation. Also, "She" should not be capitalized. There needs to be a space between the period after "explained" and the beginning quotation mark before "Dr." as well as a space after the period and before "Fox".

*Star* “Now Mary,” I spoke.” In my opinion Joe does not mean to disparage you in front of your Grandchildren.”
*Note5* There should be a comma after "Now". Another one should be placed after "opinion" and "Grandchildren" should be lowercase.

*Star* He’s the most obstinate
*Note5* "He's" should be lowercase.

*Star* but winnings not the only reason
*Note5* "winnings" should be "winning's" since it is being used as a contraction for "winning is"

*Star* I struggled to maintain my professional countenance
*Note5* There should be a period at the end of this sentence.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Please don't be overwhelmed with the number of suggestions I have made. They are all tiny in nature, but will improve the readability of this piece tremendously. The plot of the story is great and the ending is phenomenal!! You have a great talent with the use of dialogue and I hope to have learned a bit from you in regards to it. I am terrible with dialogue in a story, which is strange since I am so talkative! Thank you for sharing this with us all and keep up the great, entertaining work!

Hi! My name is Kristi and I will be judging "Give & TakeOpen in new Window. for ~A BROKEN *Heart* HEART POETRY CONTEST~



*Heart* THE POEM *Heart*

A poetic story that conveys a message of a broken relationship. I believe this piece follows the required prompt of "Pieces of Me" in a unique and obscure manner.

*Heart* WHAT I LIKED *Heart*

Well, I like the whole "give and take" aspect of this write. I think it was a nice twist to the normal tone in a piece speaking of a broken heart.

Quite an enjoyable read that depicts a broken heart and followed, in a hidden manner, the required prompt of "Pieces of Me" very nicely!

There were no errors in either spelling or grammar! BRAVO!!! That goes a long way with me!

I like the complexity of this piece; it is far from simplistic, which adds so much power to the message.

All the rage you wished I would conceive
All the mania you hoped you could achieve

Hi! My name is Kristi and I will be judging "Somber SuccorOpen in new Window. for ~A BROKEN *Heart* HEART POETRY CONTEST~



*Heart* THE POEM *Heart*

This contest entry blew me away! I swear I was reading about myself. Although hidden in other words, this piece follows the required prompt of "Pieces of Me" perfectly. Great job!!



*Heart* RHYTHM/RHYME *Heart*

Both the rhythm and the rhyme worked together to make this a compelling melody to read!



*Heart* SPELLING/GRAMMAR *Heart*

The spelling was perfect, as was the grammar! No mistakes or typos noted whatsoever!! Bravo!!



*Heart* WHAT I LIKED *Heart*

I really liked reading about "me"! I know that may sound crazy, but I have tried so hard to put these exact thoughts to proper words many times and have always seemed to come up short.



*Heart* FAVORITE PART *Heart*

I will trade my happiness, that others may succeed.
I will go without, so that others may never need.



*Heart* IMPROVEMENTS *Heart*

I don't have one single suggestion for improvement. This is a fabulous piece that I would like to highlight on my web page (with proper permission first, of course)!

How Writing.com has changed my life...
#1115387 by iKïyå§ama Author IconMail Icon


This is a very well written piece that describes in detail how you arrived at WDC and why. It also gives solid testimonies as to the person and writer you have become since you joined.


MY FAVORITE PART

If there’s anything that WDC has done, it’s been to make me a much more patient and thorough individual. I do not just read for the sake of it, I now read to truly understand the meaning behind the words. It’s taught me to peel back the layers and to see what lies beneath. It’s shown me the kindness of people and it’s made me want to be a better person both inside and out.

If at the end of the day, I am able to bring a smile to anyone’s ‘face’ in this community, then my dear writers, my work is done.



SUGGESTIONS

*Note3* Had I noticed any spelling mistakes, typo's or grammatical errors, I would make mention of them here, but I observed none of the above! Great job!


OVERALL IMPRESSION

First, I wish to thank you for presenting us with such awesome reading material. Not only is the subject matter one that every single member here can relate to, it's written like a true, professional writer; one who cares about her work and takes pride in what she writes. That makes for such a pleasant reading experience! Second, thank you for allowing me, the reader, into your world. Every time I read something you have written, I feel like I know you so much better. I appreciate your eloquent style of writing and how you speak directly to the reader. Thank you for sharing this delightful read!

Review of
 Hard Times in NYC Open in new Window. (13+)
Johnny, Slim and a "sure thing". (Awkward)
#1420849 by Ben Langhinrichs Author IconMail Icon


This is a very exciting and spell binding short story about a planned heist gone wrong in NYC!


MY FAVORITE PART

Slim's judgment was pretty suspect, maybe due to spending most of his thirty seven years behind bars for one "sure thing" or another.


SUGGESTIONS

*Star* and out walked Jessie, and a whole lot of sweet cash.
*Note3* Consider removing the comma after "Jessie".

*Star* There was a man who ran in my street every once in a while
*Note4* I would change "in my street..." to "on my street...".



OVERALL IMPRESSION

I loved reading this!! Not one time did I take my eyes away from the screen, indulging in every well written sentence! I think, and this is just my opinion of course, that you should turn this into a "series of events" as you mention as a note at the bottom. I would be very interested in reading them! Great work! Thank you for sharing.
