In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.
I'm good at...
encouraging others to write because I love to read.
I will not review...
something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!



What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow*I clicked on the Read and Review option and it brought me to your fine poem about dog adoption when a child has their heart set upon it.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* We waited way too long to get a dog, ourselves. There is nothing like the love of a faithful and engaging dog family member. All the other stuff (like it does with kids) fades in comparison to what we got out of it. She picked us, though, not the other way around.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* The "rabbit" part was amusing as the neighbor had a large pet rabbit who she babied. I think when you fall in love with a family member like this, all the other stuff fades away.

This brought a smile to my face, so thank you very much!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*I think that days like this are only fully appreciated in memory as they compare to less extraordinary times.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup*This part stays with me, as it is a brilliant way to close:

"If I could have stopped time
If even for a moment
I'd stay and dance with her

In the wind, rain and thunder"

It's funny the things we focus on in hindsight as we remember the good days and times.

Lovely poetry - I enjoyed reading this very much!

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your fine poem about what is really important about this arbitrary holiday.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about how it used to be much more important to me when I was excluded from it by circumstance.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup*This is my favorite part:

"But even the slightest bit of humor and resolve
Can be a hundred times more pleasing
To your soul mate
Than one of these temporary keepsakes. "

It's not the day that's important, it's what we feel all the time in our hearts that's lasting and that matters.

Very well said.

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I clicked on the Read and Review option on the left side of the screen and it took me to your fine poem!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I like what you have done with the prompt. It is as if the feelings were meant to be and could not be avoided by the passive participant who now wants to be in charge, with certain requirements stated. That is how a lot of relationships get started - with the "falling in love" metaphor playing a large part.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* This is my favorite part:

"Leave me never
For now my heart’s door has
Closed once again
With you inside."

So, the choice is with the beloved, but there are consequences that are implied with choices. I like how you have chosen a word order that isn't what I might have expected with the "leave me never" working very well indeed.

Very fine work!

My Sweet Girl on Her 8th Birthday



What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me a very nice review so here I am to read and review your wise poem of the season of buying useless stuff.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*The message is that the feeling of love and affection are what last and resonate, not today's shopping bargain of the moment. So, it isn't about "stuff" we require ourselves to get or the so-called good deals that are offered.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This is my favorite part:

"Turning kinda crazy
And with no shot for this bug,
We buy silly things,
One shopping cart cannot lug."

It all leads to us feeling like we repeat ourselves yearly about the true meaning of the season. Just retreat to watch some Hallmark movies and all will be well, I guess.

Happy Holidays! *Santahat*

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I clicked on the Read and Review option and it brought me to your fine, imaginative poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about what the future might hold. This seems to predict things from the past that people still believe might happen, but we do not know when.

I notice that the first line of the next to last stanza, you have "breath" when you mean to write "breathe", I believe.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

We never know what will happen in the future if we don't take care of things. This is an ominous warning for a celebration that adapts to things that are not enjoyable to us now.

Very creative and clever! Looking back, I wonder what you think about this now - probably it is that you would reiterate your point.

Nice work!

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!

I clicked on the Read and Review option and it took me to your poem. Since we have about 10-12 inches of snow on the ground and more is on the way, it seemed like a good time to travel in my mind back to the Chesapeake Bay where I spent some summers of my youth.

You are missing an image here that you might want to remove the link for.

This made me hungry for Crabs and Old Bay Seasoning, yum yum.

You definitely create a mood and an atmosphere of the storm coming, but also of the location of your poem.

Nicely crafted - thanks for the memory! It made me feel homesick in a good way. I could have been there this weekend, but decided to hunker down at home for the storm of a different kind - snow.

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!

I clicked on the read and review option and it brought me to your fine poem where you make use of the site's emoticons in every line. I particularly enjoyed the notion of flying to warmer shores - it is about a foot of snow where I am today. You paint an idyllic picture of a romance and the invitation to fantasize that it generates.

Finding a way to use an emoticon in so many lines is very creative and well thought out. I particularly liked the "skull" at the end for death as I hadn't seen that one before. I haven't perused them like I should have.

Nice work - well done - I enjoyed reading this and thought it flowed very well.

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me a very nice review so here I am to read and review your wonderful poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought that the picture and the title convey a warmth of spirit and something I needed to read today. Both drew me in.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This is my favorite part as your words stirred memories of feelings that can carry one away with a happy sense of well being:

"Wake me up inside

And let my soul fly,

Far away to the sky,"

This is a comforting and inspiring notion that someone has the ability and inclination to do this for us. Someone or something we believe in, I reckon.

Very engaging and well written poetry - proves you don't need a whole lot of words to convey a lot to a reader.

Well done!

*Cool**Idea* This transports me to a warmer time (there is about a foot of snow where I am at the moment) when I was a young child and everything seemed wonderful.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

Your rhyming couplets flow very well. This is my favorite:

"Peroxide bleaches and lemon spray,
flip flops and sunny days"

It took me back to a care-free time when I used to spray Sun-in on my hair to bleach it.

Thank you for the awesome remembrance of what (now) seems like a simpler, happier time!

Well done! *Sun*

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You sent me a review sort of recently and it is always a pleasure to read and review your work.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This was funny about a clueless head of a big family. Guys like this enjoy the mayem I am convinced and always push for these sorts of confrontations because it validates some weirdness within. Holidays can bring out the worst, can't they? I've seen it too many times not to believe it. *shudders* at the "holidays".

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This part stays with me:

"There's little thanks given when a fight breaks out.
Thus I take my Tums and tune out every shout.
Rockwell painted pictures, but I would never dare,
For there's no pretty setting when missiles are the fare."

When these dramas break out it's time for the police to be called, especially with the blades involved.

Of course, when there is family manipulation the triumph is getting to the point where you just don't care. I understand why people drink now in a way I didn't when I was young. I guess it adds to a certain sort of "fun".

Very entertaining and witty portrayal of a certain breed of character. Well done!

*Cow* You sent me a review recently so here I am to read and review one of your recent entries - very recent today.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I hope you have safe travels to somewhere with nice weather. I have fears no matter how I travel, but I never regretted getting on with it. I have irony here because I stayed home this weekend because of weather.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I liked it all, (when I felt that I understood it) especially this part:

"Internet arguments are stupid for many reasons, but this is a big one: you're not going to change anyone's mind with any number of anecdotes, any amount of data, any quantity of reason, or any pure charismatic persuasiveness."

I don't think you change anyone's mind by arguing with them, whether it's on the internet or otherwise. To me the internet is a big place to show off rather than persuade. I always run when someone demands I present my side of an argument. Scary times.

Hope you have a fun time on your trip and win a lot if you have a chance to gamble where you are going to be.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I have a prayer that I repeat to myself that comforts me. That is how I read this - it's an affirmation of faith, but also something that brings comfort in the repeating of the refrains.

In times of fear and torment, I am more likely to repeat it to myself. This is a gentle reminder to do that on good days, also.

Well done!

*Cow* You sent me a review semi-recently so here I am to read and review your poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am looking out at about 10 inches or so of snow. I live in the south so it's unusual. You are right, though. There is something a bit magical about a December snow. Maybe it is the fact that it forces people to stop the madness leading up to the holiday.

We are all shut in by this as the road crews are not experienced enough to clear the roads fast. We just have to wait it out.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I loved it all - this especially resonated with me today:

"She remembers the snows of early spring or of late autumn are different from December snow. To her, December Snow seems fresher, purer, and more resilient."

That comforts me amidst my fear of the cold and not being able to go anywhere. There is a warmth to that too, that speaks of childhood memories and the feeling of security no matter what.

Lovely work, as always!

What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You visited me semi-recently with a nice review. So here I am - it is always my pleasure to read and review your work.
This seemed to be an appropriate poem for me to review today. We have about ten inches of snow on the ground so far and are predicted to get more. And I live in the south so it is kind of unusual for here and especially this early in the season.

It's pretty, but no one knows how to handle it here so there is a lot of panic connected to it. Trying our best to stay in and stay warm, but with a heat pump it's not easy.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I love this part as it is comforting to me, someone who no longer enjoys the winter weather:

"But seems to bring a peace,
To all the things that grow
As they sleep away the season,
Underneath the snow"

You bring a sense of peace and acceptance to a wintry scene. Well done, my friend! Well done! There is joy to be had even when it is scary and cold. Thanks for the reminder!

*Cow* You sent me a review recently so here I am to read your inspiring poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Empathy is a wonderful thing. We try and find it when we have worry about those we care for. Moving the feeling to other things gives us perspective when we might otherwise be overwhelmed by fear.

This part was very moving to me:

"I can feel its heat
its passion

And I can feel its strength
its will

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The photo and title drew me in as it is a blizzard here today. I was transported to a beach in lovely memories of times spent in that sort of setting, with the warmth and everything else.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I love the shared fun and sense of humor that is conveyed here. Being "almost there" can be better than being perfect. Nothing is ever really perfect, but sharing a laugh at a predicament that two people share is priceless.

This was my favorite passage, but it was all romantic, loving and fun - can't do much better than that!

"I love spending time with you.
Even if it's for a day.
A walk on the beach sounds lovely.
As we walk hand in hand along the sandy trail."

Thank you for taking me, as a reader, on such an enchanted journey.

Wonderful! *Heart*

This made me remember Gettysburg, PA. There is definitely a haunted feeling when you walk around the battlefield where so many perished.

This tie of year and the December snow makes everything more haunting and foreboding. Very well described and conveyed!

*Cow* I am doing the I Write in 2018 thing and you posted before me. Always a pleasure - I always smile and think of your brilliant masquerade portrayals, (like Batman) *Mask* my friend!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that a secret admirer is a nice thing, but the internet makes it more likely to run across an impostor. You spelled "impostor" correctly, unlike me. I think you came to the conclusion of "impostor" and thus, picked the title.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This is a short poem, but I took it to say a lot about internet stuff. When I first started, I thought I had someone who really took my part and enjoyed my writing. It was more someone who in real life wanted to support me, but be secretive about it. It sort of took the wind out of my sails in the confidence department. When I first started on the internet, I didn't always use the best judgment. *Blush*

After meeting and connecting with a few friends, I realized you can find good friends here, but when it comes to the romance and admirer of the old writing stuff, it is better to evaluate everyone in person. That is probably more than you care to know (TMI, HOOves), but here I am sharing. LoL Chalk it up to tHiNg being chatty on a Monday morning.

I enjoyed your poem and learning how to spell the word "impostor" correctly. My only advice is to be careful, but this tells me that you know that already.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!



What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* I saw a review of this by mott is back and came to read and send a review. When Mott speaks, I listen.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think we run across those sorts of fair weather types all through life. It is a challenge to see through things and know who and what is genuine. However, the truth reveals itself when time has past. I think Mott is spot-on there.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Yet we continue with these friends of ours
Knowing they’ll leave us at the first signs of showers
But forgive them we must, for it’s our way
And when they need us, we too cannot stay"

Forgiving is a sign of grace and that comes all in good time, also.

Brilliant poem!

*Cow* You let me know that you wrote for my prompt - thank you so much for doing that! I am not the judge for it, but am delighted to read and send a review!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*This is a great, self affirming take on the prompt. The ones that do the most damages are those voices within.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I think it is great to get rid of those self inflicted thoughts. Bet everyone can identify with this since we are all works in progress. Whether we admit it or not, we all have these sorts of doubts about being good enough.

Great poem!

*Cow*You posted before me in the I Write in 2018 forum - it is always a pleasure to read your writing so here I am to read and send a review!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that November is a time for gathering of strength that you accumulate in the summer. Right before winter there is the sense of letting one's defenses down and building up fortitude for what is to come. I am experiencing some of that myself this year.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This part resonates with me:

"our trunks storing water
for the coming drought,
our limbs gathering air.
Waking to morning chimes
we watch our leaves falling."

Lots of leaves now to watch. Beautifully captured and written - you have a unique and insightful take on the season.

Well done!

*Cow* You posted before me in the I Write in 2018 activity. It is always my pleasure to read your work!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that the reaction to weather is a lot more exaggerated now than when I was a kid. But, I never realized some things that weather could do because my parents gave me that safe, grounded sense of security.

I have since learned that some key assumptions I made were wrong, but it is good to keep one's wits about one and also to have a sense of humor. The Dad here has a good, grounded sense of what is important in life and hopefully, he will know what to do if the flood waters rise too far.

Our mail delivery person does not come if the road has a bit of rain on it. Not just the torrential stuff and forget about snow or anything resembling ice or sleet. We don't get mail on a lot of days now. So, school cancellations and "mail delivery" no shows are a sign of the times, I guess.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

You bring some recent family weather experiences to mind.

My niece lives in Houston so she and I learned that rain can come up through the floor boards. I always assumed it would come at the house in a wave or something.

Her son went to the bus stop after the storm, and an alligator was standing there waiting.

Not to condemn the alligator - the hurricane probably freaked him out.

You have constructed a well written short story that puts modern reactions and overreactions into a life affirming perspective - nicely done!

Why I Read Your Item:

*Right**Leaf* I saw that you had updated so I came to read and review.

What I Thought About as I Read:

*Right**Leaf* I thought about how we should all cherish the things we love about the world. Buildings are very low on the list for me, too. Anywhere that animals are happy is beautiful because of that - the calls of nature I guess.

What I thought about when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Ghost* I thought about stopping to appreciate all that is good and memorable. Ireland was like that so sometimes I look at my pictures from there and just relive it.

Lovely thoughts!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose. I am merely a reader who loves to read. I am also a bull, so you might want to take that into consideration also.
