Hello, I'm Justine, known here as Riot . This review is in response to your entry "All To You

Please note that this is just a review and my personal opinion of what I read. It is not intended to be rude, hurtful, or in any way discouraging. Like all free advice you can take it or leave it as you please.



A truly awe-inspiring poem. I can sympathize with your feelings on this; finding the man that you love and clawing your way from depression. It just goes to show that one person truly can make a difference. I see your words on the screen and grin, I'm so happy for you. Internally, I'm so happy with myself too because I can relate. My favorite stanza was stanza 4, I like how you mention him 'giving back' your smile that others had lost. Superb writing, it's no wonder your so famous on this site. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this piece with the community. Child abuse is never an easy thing to write about, believe me I know this to be true. I like how this has a light rhyme to it, and structurally it is sound. I can find no errors and can offer no room for improvement. The imagery in here was great: jagged edges, crimson, bruise this life - it was all great. Of course, in it's greatness, I have to point out how incredibly sad and touching it is. It is definitely deserving of the beautiful ribbon that adorns it. Thank you once again for gracing us with your ability to write.

I found this to be a highly creative poem. I liked the title and I thought it was fitting of the piece and how you cleverly spaced out the words to make a shape. The imagery was great, as you can see with some of your word choices: coincidental illusion, rusty metal bars, slime, marrow of yer bones, etc. I especially liked the voice in this and the slang. Overall I feel you did an excellent job with this. I could find no room for improvement and spotted no errors. Keep up the excellent work, and welcome to WDC!

I found this to be an extremely touching piece. I couldn't find any errors in spelling or grammar and I can find no room for improvement. My opinion of this is that you are a very strong person. When many would have given up, you prevailed. I know how it can feel to be stuck and helpless while the world around you goes living without you, completely unaware of your predicament. While I can't offer you any advice on rewording or rewriting (because I think it's perfect the way it is) I am able to say that I am touched by this read. Not only is some of the stuff you've written heart breaking, but it's also incredibly inspiring. You lead us with an example to never give up and this piece you've written is a gift to anyone willing to take a few minutes to read it. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

The image at the top of this poem is excellent. There's so much I could say about it alone, hehe. I really like the couplet form you have here. The rhyming was spot on and I didn't feel the flow was disrupted at all. I thought it was particularly clever how you have the dialog in red and how it's repeated again at the end. Overall I felt this was a chilling and grizzly read - just the kind I like!

Wow, this poem put me in awe. I think you did an excellent job conveying emotions throughout this, playing on our fears. The bold text in this poem did it a lot of justice, they pop out of the screen. What's really clever is if you take the bold portions out the poem stands alone very well. You can even put all the bold stuff together and it stands alone too. It's like we got two poems for the price of one, I love it. Thanks as always for sharing your wonderful poetry, it's clear you're very gifted!

I have never seen a poem with this structure before, not that I ever noticed anyways. You're right though, it does drive a point home and the words you've used in this are strong and powerful. I noticed one small thing, in line three of the first stanza, it felt like the comma was needed there just like in line 1. I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or not. As for the rest, I think you did an outstanding job. Stanza 4 and 5 were especially powerful and you drove the point home in stanza 5 with the repeating lines and powerful words. Keep up the excellent work, and Happy WDC Anniversary once again! *Heart*

This is an excellent free-verse poem. I like how it has a fantasy feel to it, though anyone could easily feel the same way you've described. Many words struck me as my eyes fell down this poem, but I especially liked the descriptions in the first two stanzas. The galloping prince, the tiara resting upon your head. The words were almost whimsical and they were so strikingly sad. Thank you for sharing this with us, I look forward to reading more in your port. This poem is well deserving of the lovely ribbon that adorns it. Happy WDC Anniversary!

Grim, sad, dark. Everything I'm sure you intended. What I liked most about this was the great descriptions because it made me feel enveloped in the darkness you must've been feeling when writing this. You used great examples of just how dark it is inside, from the theater's without lights, to the cave's inner chambers, and the desert with no moon. Excellent job, I hope to see more from you soon.

Another great couplet. I think your rhyming is really good. I especially like how you used completely alternate spelling on some of the rhymes, instead of finding a perfect match. Like with vase/space. I've been exploring the poems in your darker poetry folder. You were right, some of them are really heart wrenching. Thank you once again for sharing these, I've been having a great time exploring your port. I think you should do more!

I love the couplets here. My only suggestion is that perhaps you could put each couplet in their own stanza. Since the poem is not that long, I don't think it's a huge deal. For your word choice, this is excellent. Many powerful words float through your poem, telling us about this sad story: shattered, fragile organ, figure falling - Great job! Thank you for sharing this with us, I'm having fun looking through your port and excellent poetry. Happy WDC Anniversary!

I can't believe some of your stuff hasn't been rated or reviewed yet. As with the rest, I enjoyed reading this one and am glad that I have. I noticed with your others that you've used color to illustrate the vertical words, but you didn't with this one. However, you did bold it. I like the wording in this and how you've incorporated all the goodies of Halloween. Dracula, licorice, chocolate goodness treats, etc. A delightful read, thank you for sharing it with us!

Another great Acrostic poem, I'm glad I stumbled upon this folder. I like especially how the blue jumps out at me, it was a really great choice. My favorite imagery of this was the penguins gliding on icicle sleds. How it turned darker with the orca strike was a good contrast of the real elements within a community in the wild. It turned dark fast, just like in real life. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you have a wonderful WDC Anniversary.

I think the title (and vertical lettering) of your poem is great. Your word choice was also really good and I didn't feel like any of them were out of place or overly fanciful.

I can say nothing bad about this poem. You did a killer job with punctuation, just reading the punctuation made my head spin. My only criticism is the title. I don't personally care for capitalized titles or titles that end with a period. Other than that, I thought this was superb. I really thought you expressed emotion well in this and used the poem to speak of reflections. Not just the physical sense, either. It's clear from looking through your port and reading this that you are a talented writer and everything is well deserving of the ribbons that adorn your port.

I found this poem to be cleverly spaced out, I thoroughly think it does your poem justice. Great job on that aspect! For the words, I think they were meaningful and imagery-filled.

Title/Plot: Good title. *Thumbsup*

Scene/Setting: A perfect setting for a thrilling story.

Characters: Both characters were well played.

Technical: Some things I noticed:
*Bullet* Paragraph 5, I think the screaming should be in its own dialogue.
*Bullet* In some places you capitalize God, in others you don't. If you capitalize it through the entire piece, consider capitalizing Hell too.

*Star**Star**Star**Star* Overall Opinion: I thought this was a pretty good story. It was more exciting in the beginning when we didn't know what it was, hehe. Thanks for sharing this with us, and keep up the good work. *Snow3*

Title/Plot: Appropriate title, for this well written piece.

Style & Voice: You told this story very well and I felt your voice showing through your words.

Scene/Setting: I thought you did an excellent job, especially for dialogue only, describing scenery through conversation.

Characters: I felt like I knew more of Ms. Marsh because of the descriptions she gave to 'the men' - Good job here!

Technical:
*Bullet* Ms Marsh *Right* Ms. Marsh (missed a few times)
*Question* Does 'The Incident' need to be capitalized?

*Star**Star**Star**Star**Halfstar* Overall Opinion: Overall, I thought this was a very well written piece of dialogue. Good job!

Please note that this is just a review and my personal opinion of what I read. It is not intended to be rude, hurtful, or in any way discouraging. Like all free advice you can take it or leave it as you please.


Title/Plot: Well, I can't really comment on this, yet. ;)

Style & Voice: I think you did a good job with voice and style. I like how you're unfolding this story.

Characters: I've never seen the spelling of 'Abby' done this way, is it pronounced the same? -- Well anyways, I really like the characters here, how they speak and interact with each other. Great job!

*Star**Star**Star**Star* Overall Opinion: Overall, a pretty good read. Please let me know when you add more to this. *Heart*

Hello, I'm Justine, known here as Riot . This review is in response to your entry "Forever friend.

Title: The title's alright, but I think it could use some proper capitalization. It also doesn't need a period at the end being it's a title and not a sentence. Forever Friend

Word Choice: Simple words, in a simply short bite sized poem. I think you picked your words just fine.

Structure and Form:
*Bullet* Keep watch on your punctuation.

*Star**Star**Star**Halfstar* Overall Opinion: Overall, I feel this could've been nicely expanded upon. With some careful watch of punctuation, this could be better. I honestly didn't feel very moved by this, despite the end. I was surprised to read the end, though, I didn't see it coming. If you decide to edit this any further, please drop me an email and let me know. I'd like to come back and re-read it. That being said, keep plugging. *Flower2*
