Again, thank you for sharing this. I like how you've centered the poem and the color of it is appealing to the eye. It is a sad poem, but at the same time wishful. Fifteen minutes wouldn't be enough time to spend with a lost loved one. But I love the thoughtfulness and flow of this piece. No typos or grammar problems that I spotted. Great Job! Keep on Writing!

sincerely,
amy

Review of This Is Me

OMG...you just wrote about me! I love this poem! I can completely see myself in this poem, and it is spooky to say the least...I have goosebumps thinking about it. I like how you centered your poem...very eye-catching. And my favorite line is the last one:
"This is me. Take me or leave me." A wonderful poem about focusing on the positive and not allowing the pain or the past drag you down. Thank you for sharing! Great Job!

sincerely,

amy

Review of Letters Lost  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Thank you for sharing this short story.
*Anchor* My first impression: Another heart-wrenching story from a child's point of view on one of history's most tragic events. Vivid imagery goes through my mind as I picture the child's words. Well written - as if a child was indeed telling the tale.

*Anchor* typo question: "mother piled on lots of think and warm clothing" Perhaps you meant things? Also, "the sick had a separate room than us" Perhaps you meant from us? Other than that, Well versed and well written. The flow was smooth and fast-paced as I can imagine people rushing everywhere trying to get to the safety of the boats.

*Anchor* You titled your story "Letters Lost", as in this is a lost letter from that fateful event, or that it was "lost" and never found because of the event? Or that there were so many letters lost as well as lives? Just curious.

*Anchor* I found this story gripping, and sad. I enjoyed reading it, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. A great job! Keep up the good work.

sincerely,
amy

Nice comparisons- the earth to the mother. The tears of Nature for the earth and the tears of a mother for her child. Well written free form poem. An enjoyable read. Although short, it conveys a lot of meaning. No typos or grammar issues. Well done! Keep up the great work.

A tough subject to be sure. You did an amazing job with it. The form of the poem follows an abab format. The rhyming and flow of the poem was excellent. This is a sad poem. Unfortunately, a common malady nowadays. You handled with with taste and decorum. Well done. I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

"Power Party" 

*Butterfly* I see that this is a contest entry. Thank you for sharing the titles and artists at the end of the poem. I also like how the names of the songs are highlighted as well.
*ButterflyO* My impression of the poem is about love hopefully found, but in the end lost. She decided to go her own way. I hear the resignation in the voice of the narrator as he realizes that love from her isn't going to happen.
*ButterflyR* The flow and verse of the poem made it easy to read. I enjoyed reading, and actually read it aloud. No typos or grammar issues here. An excellent read, and a fun format for a poem. Great job, as always!

sincerely,
amy

Review of My Love  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing.
*ButterflyB* A free form poem about love. The way it invades and overtakes almost makes it seem like an obsessive love. "You are the perfect poison" sums it up vividly.
*ButterflyG* I saw no grammar or typos in this poem. Nothing detracts from the imagery of your work. Well done!
*ButterflyO* The comparisons are compelling. It's as if the narrator cannot live without the love of the other person.
Overall, a dramatic piece of poetry. Well written and enjoyable to read.

Keep up the great work...Keep writing!

sincerely,
amy

Thank you for sharing this poem.
*ButterflyB* I like the way the poem reflects questions that children often ask. I also like how the narrator doesn't have all of the answers, except for the last few. I had to laugh at the ending lines.
*ButterflyG* I enjoyed reading this free form style of poetry. No grammar or typo issues here. Easy to read with a good flow of verse.
*ButterflyO* Overall, a well written poem. Keep writing! A great job and I look forward to reading more of your works in the future!

Review of Lucy  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Beautifully written poem.
*ButterflyB* I like the contrasting colors in your poem. From one side that is colorless and drab to the beauty and sparkle of the rainbow. I also am happy that there was someone special to break through the dullness of life. My favorite line: "With Lucy's hand in mind, we found beauty all around."
*ButterflyG* I like the rhythm and rhyme of your poem. Some free form mixed in with abcb style. No typos or grammatical issues to detract from the grace and beauty of the poetry.
Overall, an excellent work. Keep writing! I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Thank you for sharing this short story.
*ButterflyB*I enjoyed the vivid imagery of your words. They painted a clear picture of inner city streets. I hear the regret in the narrator's voice, even though he sounds "tough", he remembers his grandmother, and the body brings that painful memory to the front. He's angry about it, but instead of leaving her there, he calls a tip line to report the body.
*ButterflyG* The story almost sounds like a monologue: from the narrator to the reader. He reports clearly what he sees, and in constant in his vigil. He remains aloof, at least til he sees the body of the old lady. Even though he is angry, it's not so much at the woman, but of the senselessness of the killing.
*ButterflyO* No typos that I see to detract from the story being told.

Well written, and I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!

sincerely,
amy

I loved reading this poem. The vivid imagery you present in these words are beautiful. The feelings of new love, or love that has lasted several years - there is nothing like it. The format you've chosen is free form so there is no real grammatical issues. No typos to distract from the sweet words of this piece. The way you've written it out is eye appealing, and I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. An excellent job! Keep writing! I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

Very well written. I like the hint of erotica without going overboard. A tease if you will that leaves it open to the imagination. Even the title gives you the impression of delights are to come. I liked the flow and rhythm of this free form poem. No typos or grammar issues. Well executed. Thank you for sharing this poem. I look forward to reading more of your work! Keep up the great job.

I enjoyed reading the lyrics to this song. It is funny how we look at the outer trappings of a person's garb, and make judgments. It's also funny how you just never know a person's secrets by just looking at them. Cute and cleverly written. No typos to detract from the piece. Thank you for sharing this silly song with a great message.
Keep up the great work, and look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for sharing you essay on roses. It was an interesting read, and a lot of wonderful information. I especially liked your description of the pink roses your mom planted in memory of your sister. I also liked how you put a link in the essay to help others read more about roses. I didn't notice any grammar or typo issues in this piece. An older piece, but still wonderful. I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep up the great job!

Review of The Roles We Play

Thank you for sharing this story and poem. It is true that girls fare better than boys when it comes to toys and playthings and dancing. But society is slowly changing. Maybe one day the rules of "pink" and "blue" will be just a memory. Your piece is well written. I liked how you described your children, and what they enjoyed doing. I didn't find any grammar or typos to detract from this piece. Even though it is an older work, it is still relevant today. Great job! I hope to read more of your work soon.

I enjoyed reading your poem. The memories the pink ballet shoes bring to the narrator's mind. "If only these shoes could talk". The free form of this poem is easy to read and the flow is smooth. No typos or grammar issues to detract from the simplicity of the poetry. Thank you for sharing this, and keep up the good work. I notice this is an older piece. I hope to read more of your work soon.

Review of Disconnection  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing this short story. My review is humbly given, and take it for what it is worth.

*ButterflyB* My impression is that of a mother who has disconnected with reality. Why she has done this isn't clear;possibly to protect her sanity. The boy is disconnected from his mother as he doesn't know how to reach her.

*ButterflyG* I enjoyed the dialogue between the mother and the son, but what isn't said paints the clearer picture of what is going on. The last line is especially telling.

*ButterflyR* No typos or grammar issues to distract from the story being told.

*ButterflyO* An interesting story. It is a sad issue, and one that isn't touched upon frequently. I enjoyed reading your work, and look forward to reading more soon.

sincerely,

amy

A very cute poem about overindulgence! They style is eye-catching. Fun to read, and I laughed at the last 2 lines. I looked up rictameter to see what style it was, and you followed it seamlessly, not once, but twice. No grammatical or typo issues to detract from the flow of the poem. Easy to read. Well written. Thank you for sharing this interesting style of poetry. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for sharing your poem. I especially liked the explanation of the style of poetry you are writing. Poem reminds me of the opening scene of "Jaws". Well written from both the point of view of the shark, and from the narrator (about the girls). Although a short poem, it portrays a nature vs. man concept which rarely works out in man's favor. I enjoy your work, and look forward to reading more in the future. Great Job!

Review of The Note  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing your poem. My impression is one that hurts so badly, he/she just wants to end the pain...on the other hand, there is the cry, the plea for someone! anyone! to care enough to stop "me from completing this note". Desperation cries out in raw emotion...the kind that cuts swifter than a knife. It is a scary feeling, and I still shiver as I think about it. The words flow out from this free style poem...almost monologue in style. Thank you also for sharing what prompted these anguished words. It's always good to have background, in my opinion. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

A dark poem, indeed! I can feel as well as see the blackness surrounding the voice of this poem. The despair and desperation to see the "light at the end of the tunnel". Only one question in the grammar...should "tunnels light" be "tunnel's light"? Just curious. Other than that, excellent writing. Thank you for sharing this poem, and keep up the great job!

I enjoyed reading this set of poems. While the form is easy to see, it's a lot harder to actually get right. You make it seem so easy! The form made them easy to read, and saw no typos to distract. You did an excellent job. Only an idea, just maybe leave a footnote at the bottom to let others know exactly what the style is and requirements? My opinion only. Great Job!

Hiya...I enjoyed reading your story. Rather a tongue-in-cheek style of story. And why would the government admit to goofing? LOL. It was easy to read and the flow was excellent. One typo I saw: "I wouldn’t mind the damn squirrels so much if the ate something besides nuts and cat food." I think you meant to write "they" and not "the".

Other than that, nothing else I noticed. I'm very glad that I haven't had the misfortune to have a squirrel infestation. But cleverly written. Good job!
