Definitely food for thought...I enjoyed reading this poem, about the things that "once tickled our funny bone" now bringing about a bumper crop of intolerance and brutality.
I liked how you centered the poem in the middle of the page...gives it just the right "punch". Phrases flowed smoothly in this poem, making it easy to read. No grammar or typos in the work to distract from the timely message. Well written poem. Sad, but timely message here. We have brought this on ourselves.

Review of Momma Was Right  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Sometimes it's hard to admit when "momma was right". The pain of a child is hard for a mother to bear; even harder when the child warned in the first place. Unfortunately, it is a right of passage for a child - to take the "hard road". Been there, done that, as a child and a momma, so this poem definitely struck a chord in me. Well written, easy to read, good flow of verse in this free-form poem. No grammar issues to distract from the message. Nicely done! Keep writing, and good job!

Review of The Mirror

Rated: E | (4.5)
Interesting how we see differently when looking into a mirror. Fast flowing, easy to read. No grammar issues here. A well written poem about someone who is judging another, then realizing that she is looking in a mirror, that she is judging herself.
Thank you for sharing this insightful poem. Keep up the great job, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

Review of WHY CONFORM?  
In affiliation with The Poet's Place  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Nicely written poem about keeping one's integrity. I enjoyed reading it, and the lack of grammar issues made for a nice flow of the poem. Thank you for sharing the format that you used in styling this poem. My favorite lines are: "Why should I conform to others? I shall rather be free." Thank you for sharing this poem. I notice it is an older work, but still relevant for today. Keep up the good work!

Review of Trial At Sea

An interesting perspective. I enjoyed reading this work. Though I am not a fan of "Satan" or "the Devil", I found his reasons sound. Up front and harsh is not his specialty - it's the slow and careful seduction that traps the soul. No grammar or typo issues to speak of, it was easy to read, and quite the tale. A great job! Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience about template making, and for going step-by-step on how to set one up. Useful information for us "newbies". I plan to work on one of my own, so as not to forget anything when reviewing. Again, thank you for sharing a simple tool to become a better reviewer.

Review of Ouroboros  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
An interesting style of poetry. I had to look up the definition of pantoum, to see what the form was. Nicely written. I even looked up the definition of your title. Learn something new everyday. No grammar issues that I see. I can see how each line comes back onto itself, just like the title. Thank you for sharing this poem. Keep writing!

Yum! Very much ready to eat *Utensils* ! Let me get a napkin to stop the drooling *Blush*. No typos or grammar issues in this free style poem. I have to agree with you that food, especially around the holidays is always better with company around to share. Thank you for sharing this tasty treat.

Review of The Chosen Path

Rated: E | (4.5)
Very moving poem about the choices we make. Thank you for sharing this. Flow and verse are almost sing-song, and makes it easy to read. A bouncy feel as I read it out loud. No typos or grammar issues to speak of. My favorite part is "The quest long, the path brutal But the lessons learned will never become futile". A great message in a lovely format. Well done! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!

This is an awesome poem! I enjoyed reading it very much. The flow of the poem is amazing and makes it easy to read. Nowadays, it's not the "macho" thing to admit that a man does cry, but this is part of what makes him human. No typos or grammar issues to speak of. Well done! Good luck in the contest!

LOL too cute for sure. had to look up a couple of words, but that's ok...learn something new every day (iambs for example). Only one typo: skitterry has only one "r". Otherwise very Dr. Seuss-like. A fun and enjoyable read. Flow and rhyme were excellent. Thank you for sharing your poem about not being able to write poems! Keep up the great job!

A cute little story about a little boy who wanted to go to the zoo. I enjoyed the dialogue between Mike and his mom. I also liked the wide-eyed facination that a little boy would have seeing the size of the animals. Only found a couple of typos: "but i sdtopped in my tracks --it's teeth wer long and scarry." stopped, were and scary would fix those. It also felt a little abrupt at the end, but that may be due to word total limits. Otherwise a very good job. I enjoyed reading the story and will look forward to reading more of your work! Keep up the good job and keep writing!

I want to be there too! I loved the imagery of this free-form poem. A couple of Margaritas and we'd be well on our way! No typos or grammatical issues. "I pause; I breathe; I smile." is my favorite line of the poem...Thank you for sharing this wonderful little vacation from the humdrum of everyday life. Great Job!

Well written! I enjoyed this patriotic poetry. The rhyme and flow are amazing and I saw no typos or grammatical issues. It is nice to read something so positive and uplifting when we are in a world filled with such hate and intolerance. Thank you for sharing you work, and I look forward to reading more. Keep Writing!

A free-style or free-form poem about what truly matters in life. I enjoyed reading this poem, and it was free of misspelled words. Well written and thought out, I believe. It's important to know what really counts in the long run. Thank you for sharing this poem and your wisdom. I look forward to reading more of your work.

for entry "Be Intentional" 
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Well written! I don't believe you are alone in your thinking. Social media is about what's in the moment. And while I really don't care what someone I don't know had for breakfast, there are some things that do cry out for attention.

I liked what you said about being intentional. Pro-active, not sitting on the sidelines, going out of the "comfort zone". It is very hard to do, but the rewards can more than be worth it if we try.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for the great job. I found it inspiring and something to apply to my own life. Keep up the good work...I hope you will find yourself inspired to great works!

sincerely,

Ouch...what a sad commentary on the workings of the country. I am lucky not to be one of the disenfranchised, but then again, if not for the grace of God (and my loving daughter and son-in-law) go I. I go to a clinic such as this, and I have seen this first hand. Well written! I look forward to reading more of your work. (I also notice this is an older piece).

Nicely done. This could be used as an English assignment for home-schooling elementary children as well. Thank you for showing examples of the difference between common nouns and proper nouns. Anything educational I am all about! Good Job! Keep up the good work!

I very much enjoyed reading this story. I could picture it clearly in my mind with the detailing that you provided. It fit the opening quote to a "T". Well written and easy to read. I also enjoyed the dialogue between the two characters...the hope and fear and apprehension in him and the hope and boldness in her. Thank you for sharing this story. Well Done!

I too remember my grandma's bacon grease on the stove top. And drinking out of jelly jars...I also remember mom having hand towels that were sewn into the tops of flour sacks that grandma had given her. Amazing memories. Thank you for sharing this little bit of nostalgia. I enjoyed reading your poem, and thinking back to my childhood. Your piece is well written and easy to read. Keep up the good work!

Interesting reading to be sure. The title threw me off a bit, but then I got it. While I'm not 100% in agreement with you, I do believe that arrogance and religion can be bad influences. But where does that leave us to base our own concepts of right/wrong? This entry makes me want to think and study more about it. I thank you for your opinion and for writing it. Well worded.

A nicely written and sweet poem. It's amazing how fast the birthdays seem to come, even though they are 365 days apart...My oldest just turned 30, and my oldest grandson will be 5 in the spring (now how did THAT happen?). A light-hearted look at a birthday. Great form and no typos. Thank you for sharing this piece, and keep up the great job.

A moving tribute to those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Well done. It seemed to catch the American soldier in every war from the Revolutionary on. I enjoyed reading it. It was a bit sad, but I could hear the pride in the voice of the poem. Excellent Work!
