In two short verses you have captured the contrasting tastes and colours of chocolate and its effect on the body. I especially like the line about "joy"! The idea that it is a confection that makes physical life better is brilliant. I can relate as at times chocolate does lighten my spirit. LOL 
My review has been submitted for consideration in "
I am happy to review this piece from the "I Write in 2020" forum. 
I enjoyed the style with its short lines and how you added bits of rhyme to tie it together. I liked the enjambment of "a man...Born blind" as it added an emphatic vibe. The idea of healing a birth defect makes it seems more potent an act. The use of assonance really assisted the flow of the read as well. I noticed things like repeated long "i" sound, "ea" and cool soundscapes like "virgin birth", and bits of alliteration. 
I did have a few thoughts as I read that you might consider, or not! 
I love learning new words! Cool.
You really evoked thinking this all through and it makes sense from the viewers point of view. I wanted to read a comma after "protection" though I see you are not using regular punctuation. It just struck me here. LOL
Wow. She does not think highly of herself, which suits the essence of the picture prompt I think. Brilliant conception! 
Wow! I enjoyed this tale based on historic facts and it really fits the quote you left at the end. It has a flavour of "The Titanic Movie" and I like your take on what could have happened on this ship.
The story flowed coherently with effective interspersing of the present moments with the Grandpa's words as story teller. 
The scene on the boat was charming and the language, speech and manners suit the time of the incident. Old fashioned! The meeting and connection seem realistic as you show their common interest in the boats, drawing and wanting family as well as the pull to romance. A good start that could lead to deeper relationship.
Adding conversation into the narrative added drama and showed character's feelings and continued the story telling. It is cool that the family likes to hear the stories and memories of the elder. I think it is something missing in our times.
I offer a few ideas for refinement in terms of what stuck out to me as I read.
The scene at the end when he finished was moving and all the family got to say goodbye without knowing. 
The title suits the content and theme with its elements of paranormal, romance and mystery. It made me curious to read the tale.
You make Nathaniel really seem human in his responses and experiences. I wonder if an angel would be in romantic situations. LOL I like how the energy shifts for the Apparition in the end. She knows she is loved and has friendship.. I love happy endings. 
I enjoyed reading the engaging story and it flowed quite well in a coherent fashion. Use of italics for inner thoughts was effective and kept me in touch with the character during the narration. The point of view seems consistent too. 
I loved it! {e;delight}
Hiya thing! I get to review another poem from the "I Write in 2020!" 
The form is well composed with rockin' rhythm and rhyme. You built the intensity of the moment clearly as the reader follows the speaker into the wood. You showed the attitude of the creature vividly too.
Personifying the idea of "feedback" and having it have its opinion is brilliant.
Wow! This is a detailed analysis of Jane Austen and the education of women. It is an interesting topic too. I like the tone and your tribute to her "literary genius" at the end.
Using a quote in the first line is a good hook to your introduction and your premise is clear. Weaving in Jane's history and popularity was seamless to give us background to her world so we could better understand her sharing of ideas of education. Your research of the times and using quotes from her books is thorough and helps illustrate your theme. The idea from John Gregory was interesting too. Imagine hiding our education! 
In the line "So says," you do not need that comma after says. 
Your words for the key letters in the Acrostic were well chosen. I liked "highly valued", "inspiring", "comprising". The last verse stands on its own as a summative description of our community. Well done. 
The key letters blend in well and while it would be nice if they were bolded, it did not take away from the meaningful flow and meaning! 
Your title intrigued me with its evocative image. My muse likes it as a prompt on its own. 
The last two lines are creepy and potent and I trembled at the idea of "bowels of the underworld." Made me think of greek myth and the creepy place in Lord of the Rings where they work underground creating creatures. 
I like the dramatic effect of repeating the word "wait" in the middle of the poem. The use of repeated vowel sounds as in "vines that wind" and repeated consonants like "collecting and connecting" make a pleasing soundscape to read aloud.
