*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI Kiya! I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star*

I was looking for entertainment to chill out today and lookie what I found! Your word find is so detailed with words relevant to the theme. It is taking me some time to complete the challenge. *Thumbsup*

I began with the two word titles as you left spaces which kind of help locate them. I notice they do not cross off on the list part though. So I have to recall That I did find them. LOL The last word I found was Ka Tet after Derry and Misery!

I saw some titles I was not familiar with...I guess horror stuff is not my favourite genre. *Wink*

Thanks for sharing this complex challenge. Great way to play with time! *Laugh*

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI Spring in my Sox ! I am here with a review to celebrate you fellow December WDC baby! *Star**Laugh*

*Delight* Oh, this was fun and brings back memories of surviving that Down the Rabbit Hole Adventure.
Your chosen words were thematic and some were a challenge to find! I notice that when you leave spaces between the words in the list, they do not cross off on the puzzle itself so I had to remember which phrases I had found! Lol. It sometimes made it easier to find as I can read from the spaces. Gives a clue! *Think*

I really liked the phrase "grin without a cat."

Your introduction was simple and I wonder if adding some details and link to the contest and a bit colour or *Rabbit* would give it a bit of flair! *Wink*

Thanks for creating this. I am glad I found it as I was having a rest in bed day and needed some entertainment! *Thumbsupgreen*

Review of Because of you

Happy Holidays Purple is House Florent !


I found this lovely poem on random Reads! *Delight*

*Fairy*Personal Impression
The title gives a clear clue of the theme and made me curious as to whether things would be bad or good "because" of this person. Good hook! The tag line is a little generic, giving nothing away.

*Fairy* Tone & Mood & Impact
I really felt the surprise in the voice of the speaker coming to realize that perhaps love is possible and learning to trust again. It sounds biographical as you share the inner thoughts of the speaker as she comes to terms. Having her question herself on her own caring was evocative and something readers can relate to.... when we wake up to a renewed vision of who we could be. It has a hopeful message and I felt happy at the end. The poem was touching and relevant as we all seek a real loving heart. *Heart*

*Fairy* Rhyme, Form & Flow
It was pleasant to read this poem aloud for its even flow and consistent rhyme. I liked the choice of "fused" for a rhyme and it reflects the idea of union as well. The rhythm is right on with syllable counts and nothing threw me out of the reading experience.

*Fairy* Grammar/Punctuation
I liked the natural punctuation and flow though I felt a few changes in the punctuation would assist the read and impact. The present tense is consistent and effective for the theme.

*Quill*I did not see why a semi colon was needed in line 3 as it naturally continues to the next idea. I think a period after line 5 would give emphasis to the I in the next line. It is a complete thought on its own. A period in line 13 for the same reason and perhaps a semi colon or period after "meaning". Just some thoughts..picky picky! LOL

Thanks for sharing your vision! I enjoyed my visit.*Starstruck* Write on!

*Delight* Hiya Soldier_Mike. I saw this on the review page and had to check it out! I had to laugh at the cat antics. We have a puppy this could apply too....chews everything without thought! *Laugh*

Writing a complete and coherent episode in only 55 words is a challenge I expect and you rocked it! The twist in the last line was effective and so humourous. It was good to have a laugh. You describe the cat accurately so I could imagine it as a kitten and I liked how you got into his head. *Smile* I felt the word choices were effective with minimum wasted words. Reading the paragraph was pleasant too as you had some repeated letter sounds that added to the soundscape appeal! Well done! *Star*

Thanks for sharing your craft that served to entertain me. *Starstruck*

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI KnightScribe! I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star*

*Starstruck* Wow! Great job on your double acrostic. I always found it a challenge to do! This one is unique in its romantic theme. I like its simplicity. The words "you are my only" says it all. Repeating the idea of a forever love emphasizes the love vibe. *Heart*

I was a bit confused about the second line as it seems awkward. I assume it means others knew long ago what we did not...following from the first line. I think it is the word "once" that threw me out. *Wink*

I had to look up the word "pragma". Original and fitting idea. I learned something new. *Smile*

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI Redriding Hood. I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star* Thanks for all of your contributions to WDC and Happy Anniversary month!

*Starstruck* I appreciate your sharing poetic forms with our community. I have not heard of this one so was happy to learn from this article on the Quintilla.

I enjoyed the lightness of the opening line introducing the form. The explanation and brief history of the form was easy to follow and I like how you add your experience.

*Delight*It was fun reading the Lyrical Quintilla on the northern lights. It is a unique theme for the form. *Smile* The images are clear and placement of inner rhyme was effective in "burn, churn". I like the idea of the "sea of fire" "surfing" In the sky. It is so poetic! Felt like a dance. *Thumbsupgreen*

The last line gives the melodic flavour of the form with the word choice! Sounds fun. *Star*
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the reference links for us to ponder. You rock, poetry mistress!

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI earthenware haven! I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star*

I was looking for a distraction and yay, I found a yummy word find in your port. Colder days are coming so it is nice to think warm! LOL

The puzzle was a great challenge as you have so many words for us to find. I had to keep remembering if I found the spaced words like "white grapes" as when I find them they do not get crossed off at the bottom. At the end, at solve puzzled it highlights those ones as not found. I think it is because of the spaces between two words. I usually just skip the space. *Wink*

The first word I found is anjou pear likely because there is a space in the puzzle between the two words. A good clue. LOL
My last word was tomatoes. Tricky! It was fun to complete though it took me some time. A bit of a tired mind today but did not let it defeat me. *Wink*
And I learned what a cabasa is! I had to look it up as a fruit.*Laugh*

Thanks for sharing something light for those times we need a break!

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI RedWritingHood! I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star*

*Star* Oh my gosh! This is too funny. I can so relate to this situation and how easy it is to transverse codes! What a nuisance and time waster if you think you have done something wrong or the machine has! LOL I often mix numbers up in items so I try to check it before sending. *Rolleyes*

*Star*I liked the tone of the article and setting it up like a bio story and the mystery you set up in the second paragraph. It made me read on as I puzzled how this could be! I laughed as I thought of searching Windows for Ding-dongs! LOL

*Star*The title suit the work as it seems serious and then I had a hoot reading the comical tale that worked out well in the end. The theme is one we can all relate to...mind numbing! *Delight* Thanks for sharing this warning in such an entertaining experiential way!

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI I am here with a review to celebrate you! *Star*

*Wand* Wow! You really put a shocking twist to this episode in Peter Pan! Dark! *Shock2* I think it really fit the prompt which I assume was something about changing up a fairy tale.

I entered into the tale easily as you used familiar scene. The interesting clue that something was amiss is when Peter talks about folks visiting. Good one!*Smile*

*Confused* I wondered why you did not use the article "a" before "Young boy" and "the" before "Children" near the end.
It would flow easier I think.

OOps. A typo in "it calls Neverland." It might be "it is called Neverland." And I think a comma is needed after "Tell them" and "pocket". It was charming to have a fairy in his pocket. *Heart*

I liked the ending and I wonder if a little phrase about time would join the scenes, or even adding that Nanna's barking brought the parents in. Yet the stark space between the scenes does add to the shock value. *Wink*

Thanks for sharing your dark tale. It certainly would be a cautionary tale. *Fairy2*

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*Hi Words Whirling Round! I am here with a review to celebrate you! Thanks for all you do and be at WDC! *Starstruck*

I enjoyed this quatrain style ode and its reflective theme and tone. The title drew my attention and the idea that writing is a way to be immortal.

It was a pleasure to read with its fine rhyme pattern and use of assonance and consonance that added to the soundscape. Well done! Getting all the end words to rhyme in all verses is a challenge and you did it with only one off rhyme! Cool. *Cool*

I noticed the rhythm pattern seems to be 8-8-8-8 as in a quatrain and while it does not interrupt the flow, the first line only has 7 syllables. *Wink* I liked beginning the line with the strong word "reasons". Putting the article "the" before it would solve the syllable issue.

I really liked lines like "fragile seeds of fate" and seek to craft". *Smile* The tone of the poem is strong as the author considers a life that is passing. I relate to the reverie. Thanks for sharing your awesome craft and gift. *Starstruck*

*Rabbit2**Clock* This was a great distraction for bed rest and brought back memories of our time in the rabbit hole! *Laugh*

*Clock*The intro is short and to the point with an invitational vibe. A bit of colour or even some suitable emoticons might make it pop...er...Hop! *Bigsmile*

*Chessknightb*I found it a challenge so great word choices. I noticed a lot of spaces in the puzzle itself, likely as you put spaces between phrases or words in your list. I usually put them all as one word in case it gives clues.*Laugh* March Hare was my first word. The long lines made it a challenge though and I learned something. The words with the spaces do not cross off the list at the bottom when I found them. Had to keep a good memory to know if I did them or not. *Think*

*Crown**Star* Thanks for the entertainment. I had fun.

*Delight* Hi Sumojo! I found this piece on the "CLOSED: Merit Badges for Fun Raffle . Thanks for entering your work for review.

*Hotair2* Wow! This poem really touched me as I thought about all the lost children. I could hear the sadness in the parental voice and the idea that she felt the child was waiting for her. How tragic. It sounds like she is not free of it. Not knowing must be hard.

*Balloongo* The voice is consistent as I read aloud. The poet pondering about the events is a clear image. The flow and soundscape was effective in a free style way. The rhyme scheme was well planned. Repeating the "waiting" is emphatic and your use of some repeating letter sounds add to the soundscape.

*Hotair2* I wondered if the word "cried" in verse 3 should be "cry" in present tense to follow from the query in verse 2. *Wink* I wondered about the question mark after "side" as the line seems to be part of what follows.

*Star* Thanks for sharing your evocative poem about a dark topic. It certainly is something I would not want to deal with. Write on!

Review of A Song of Loss

*Delight**ConfettiP*HI Beholden! I am here with a review to celebrate you as a Super Power Member! *Star* Thanks for all of your wonderful contributions to our group. *Starstruck*


*Hotair4* I was drawn by the evocative title that spoke of sadness and the cover prompt picture. Excellent choice of title with its idea of a song. It made me ponder how we are all a unique song until we return to the stars.

*Heart*The free verse was well crafted and suited the emotional content. The imagery was so vivid and showed your imagination in interpreting the picture. I could imagine the figure reclining. The questions in the second verse engaged me and I thought that the vapour could be the tears in the poet's eyes as he lost the dream of what he thought he saw. It felt like a reverie memory. *Heart* I related the town sighing to how the writer may have been feeling too.

*Hotair3* The last line had an definite impact and changed the vibe with the but...like reality set in as the poet returns from his pondering and memory. I like how the night sky spoke to him and hoped he believed that the lost one was still present in some etheric way. So the last line broke that idea in a way. The sadness of the reality of loss struck home. Well done!

*Starstruck*The effective use of some alliterative phrases and repeated letters like "L" sound in the first verse added to the flow and soundscape of the read aloud. I liked "Languid as the light..." and "curtains stir". You really did a great job with the soundscape. I wondered about adding a comma after "languid" as the word "light" goes with "streamed". Just a puzzlement. *Wink*

*Star* I so enjoyed this expression and the journey I had as I entered the clear vision. I love when poems take me places. Thanks for sharing your gift.

*Hotair4**Delight* Hey Snow! Here I am again. Thanks for posting at "CLOSED: Merit Badges for Fun Raffle ! *Smile* And thanks for your dedication to "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group.

Wow! You created an evocative response to this unique prompt. Quoting Shakespeare was brilliant and repeating the key question of the title in each verse kept the focus on the topic. Good choice. Italics on this line was a nice feature as it reflects back to the quote. My mind went on a journey to that play. LOL

Each verse has an opinion or query about the meaning of names. Your questions are thought provoking especially the one at the end. Wonderful to ponder them.

The free verse fits the theme and allows for philosophical thought. I thought your bit of rhyme was excellent..all those words ending in "ion". Cool. The idea of names separating/uniting us is so true. I thought of how we judge based on titles and names without considering deeper reality or individuality of the person or race.

I so admire how you ask deep questions that inspire readers to ponder. It drew me to consider where I stand with names and their meaning or what judgements pop. Thanks for sharing your gift to raise our consciousness. *Heart*

*Heart* Oh my gosh. This experiencial piece made me cry! I too was a teacher and sometimes students are the best teachers. The faith of a child's heart is beyond what we understand. Wow!

*Star*The piece is well written and I was engaged from the start, interested in what would happen next. I could feel the teacher's concern and admired his willingness to take a chance in spite of what things looked like from the outside. The scene was miraculous. I liked how you kept details of the mother til the end...it made it all the more potent. He really was called to do this one thing.

*Heartp* I felt sad for his loss and sadder at the end. What a waste. Yet, it felt like he gave the gift he was meant to give..to his mother and you! *Angel* Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring story. I was touched.

*Hotair4* Hi Prosperous Snow. I found this evocative title on the "CLOSED: Merit Badges for Fun Raffle forum. I like the imagery.*Angel*

*Smile*I was chilled by the first two lines and could imagine the experience of lack of light and what the imagination might incite. Your vision here is an inspiring use of the prompt and I like how it ends in a lighter tone. It has a hopeful vibe.

*Candleb* The style suits the theme and tone. Your rhymes are well chosen and assist the flow. I thought the repetition of certain phrases were very effective, especially the "seeking the gate" phrase. It ties the two verses together, emphasizing one has to seek. The last verse gives more detail as to what is beyond the gate. The image is light and it contrasts the first verse image well. I liked the reference to the limited sight of the physical. *Thumbsup*

*Star*I really enjoyed your expression. Thanks for sharing your gift.

*Delight**ConfettiP*HI Maryann! I am here with a review to celebrate you as a Super Power Leader! *Star* Thanks for creating and maintaining our group with flair. *Starstruck*

*Snow1* Hey, hey! How did I miss reviewing this poem? I enjoy always the whimsical positive vision and voice of your poems. You make winter sound magical and delightful by describing the wonders of the season. It could make one forget the down sides! *Laugh*

*Delight* The first line of your free style poem drew me in with its effective alliteration and captivating image. I can imagine the swirls of snow, patterns on the ground or even on the windows.
The idea of "airbrushed" is original and so appealing. Awesome of image and action. Ending with the "w" alliteration is a fine creation as it also ties it back to the start. Cool!

*Star* The voice is clear and seems to love this time of year. Using blue font is a cooling effect and reflects the seasonal theme. Use of assonance like the repeated long and short i sounds assists the flow of the poem as I read aloud.

*Snow2* Thanks for sharing your cheery vision that inspired me to enter into the good vibes of winter. I appreciate your sense of joy and wonder. *Heart* Keep writing in the light.

*Delight* Oh Wow! This is an amazing image and the title is evocative and you have shown the bicycle without using any of the bike words on the taboo list. I can see the bike for sure.

*Whistle* I enjoyed the flow our your free style with rhyme that rocks. I could sense the thrill and movement of the ride in the way you use evocative action words and the pace of the flow. The first line engaged me with its direct invitation. Well done. It sounds fun.

*Sneaker2*A few puzzlements on punctuation: I wondered if you need a comma after "down the street" in line three and should there be a period after "cries" and "gas" as the next line begins a new idea on its own. *Wink*

*Smile* The enjambment "no lack" in line 7 is effective too. Felt like a brake in speed for a second. I laughed at the end as I could relate to being tired after sipping around everywhere on a bike. Well done!

*Delight**ConfettiP*HI Richard! I am here with a review to celebrate you as a Super Power Member! *Star* Thanks for all of your wonderful contributions to our group and WDC. *Starstruck*


*Laugh* I was drawn to this piece as the name in the title was comical and suggestive. I can relate to your tag line too. My winters are filled with snow and it can be an endless task to keep the drive clear. LOL

*Smile* Your limerick has a jaunty vibe and evokes my imagination as I can imagine the character moaning over the change in snow fall from the year before. I picture it is later in the winter when one is totally fed up and wishing for spring! The "slopes" could mean he has a hill to plow...I can relate to that. Lucky my landlord does the plowing. LOL

*Bigsmile* The form {limerick type as I see it} is spot on but for the last line which has an extra syllable than the 9-9-5-5-9 pattern. It threw me off the flow a bit but the last line is emphatic. I thought of "I could use some Spring mighty badly" as the idea of "really" I did not find necessary with your last two words. They emphasize the point. *Wink* Still, it gives an extra oomf of feeling. I missed an "it" in line two. *Wink* I liked "ever so rarely".

*Smile*I enjoyed the repeated word "quite" in the middle lines as it added to the flow when I read it aloud. The repeated 's' sound works effectively too. I had fun!

*Star* Thanks for sharing your sense of humour and your craft. Hope you have many more years of writing fun at WDC. *Balloongo*

Hi Petra! I loved this crossword and it totally reflects our country Canada. Your opening was interesting and informative. I smiled at the beaver line! *Laugh* The voice was inviting and the mood was entertaining.

*Leafr* Your clues were challenging and included all the provinces. Yay! You chose some iconic items like the oldest store, Juno, and the CBC. I was able to get most of them. The two words with U at the start gave me a challenge. LOL I couldn't recall the oldest park so did a little cheat research. I have been there too! Beautiful spot.

*Leafr* I like how you describe "the area that stretches.." I think it is a challenge to come up with clues that give little away. I think the clues were well done. Folks could learn a lot about out country here even if they might have to look some things up..like daylight saving time. *Laugh* I knew that one!

*Star* I had lots of fun doing this puzzle. Thanks for your tribute to Canada.

*Wolf* Hello Big Bad Wolf! It was a stay in bed day so I was checking out activities to pass the time. I like word searches and came across your folder filled with activities. It was a great idea to list all the fun in one place. *Cool*

*Wolf* This is the second puzzle of yours I completed today. I remember Zena so it was cool to find out her alternating jobs. *Smile* The words you chose make sense to the topic. I liked how you used some past tense verbs too. It is original. Having a summary overview of Zena and your intent in the opening was purposeful and the link to your folder was so convenient. *Smile*

*Wolf* The puzzle was just challenging enough not to frustrate me yet kept me involved. *Laugh*

Thanks for sharing this bit of fun!

Wow! I liked the idea of many forms of cancer from the title. Awesomely symbolic!

Your free verse is very evocative and I could feel the vibe. The image of "mind red" and the personified "Cancer eats" are so effective. The laugh line is evocative too. Well done.

The repeated words were purposeful and I enjoyed the short lines and flow. The lone word in the middle creates a space and had me pause to consider. *Thumbsupgreen* I am not sure why "Of me" is capitalized. *Confused*

Celebrating you with an Anniversary Review.

Happy Anniversary wishes Master OM. Wow! A whole year old. *Smile*


*Fire* Wow! I just came across your metaphysical magic! I really enjoy these themes as a tree hugger. *Laugh* This poem has a mastery to it. It was a joy to read aloud as the flow and rhyme were so effective. The tribute to the five elements and their meaning and importance is inspiring.

*Wave1* The structure of this was appealing too. I liked how you changed around the order of the elements heading each verse as you repeat to emphasize the topic. The summative couplet at the end is effective too and brings us full circle to the beginning of the poem. *Delight*

*Wind* The vocabulary fits the theme and your rhymes are awesome. Use of repeating sounds also add to the potency of reading aloud. I love the line "perfecting the lotus, petal by petal". Brilliant.
You really used the symbolism and language of the creative power in a natural way that emanates a truth.

*Tree* Thank you for sharing this inspiring expression and your gift. I loved it!
May you have many more years of sharing your craft at WDC! *Cupcakev*

Review of A Crow

*Delight* Hi Lou! This is a review to celebrate you. I love crows!

I really enjoyed entering into this scene. Your simple language and imagery is vivid. Repeating the line about the crow is so evocative and brings attention to that creature. I could imagine the scene as I have watched crows. I had to laugh at the end to think that the crow could report back to you. So magical!
I like how you repeat key words from verse to verse. The last verse brings us back to the first in a way.

I don't think you need a capital letter on "There" In verse 2 as it is preceded by a comma and continues the thought. *Wink* Also the word "But" may not need one though you could put a period after "little". I can see you wanting to emphasize the word "but" though. *Smile* Just pondering.

Using the present tense makes this immediate and easy to draw me into the experience. Good job!

Thanks for sharing your craft. I do love a good crow tribute. *Laugh*
