*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*



Welcome to Writing.Com! I hope you make yourself at home, and enjoy all that WdC has to offer. The people here are a friendly bunch of folks, and don't be afraid to jump right in or ask questions!

I'm reviewing your piece today.

*PenP* My initial thoughts:An interesting take on the life of a "PK". I liked how you introduced the family, and what the "mold" was supposed to be like. I also liked that you tried to be your own person, whether it was trying to be "perfect" or a perfect "smart ass".

*PenB* My favorite part: The way you took it all in with a humorous tone. It could have driven you crazy, or it could have driven to the extreme opposite of the way you were brought up.

*PenR* Some suggestions are:I found nothing to add to your story. The grammar was excellently executed and there were no typos that I spotted.

*PenG* Overall:An engrossing story. You have a knack for taking "everyday life" and making it an enjoyable read. Well done!

Thank you for sharing your work, and Keep on Writing!

sincerely,
amy

Review of Life's Lessons

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*



Welcome to Writing.Com! I hope you make yourself at home, and enjoy all that WdC has to offer. The people here are a friendly bunch of folks, and don't be afraid to jump right in or ask questions!

I'm reviewing your piece today.

*PenP* My initial thoughts:An interesting take on Life Lessons, told from the point of view of the "Lesson".

*PenB* My favorite part:Where the "Lesson" is explaining that sometimes it may hurt, but if it didn't, the person wouldn't be prepared for when it was really painful. The other thing I liked was that the "Lesson" not only stayed with the one person, but also went off to "teach" others as well.

*PenR* Some suggestions are:I spotted no grammar or typo issues in your writing. I really don't have anything to suggest, other than to keep writing and learning to "voice" your pieces as you have done here.

*PenG* Overall:A unique point of view for this free form style poem. I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end.

Thank you for sharing your work, and Keep on Writing!

sincerely,
amy

I'm reviewing your piece today.

*PenP* My initial thoughts:A very engrossing tale. Lovers separated and then reunited told in a unique format. I loved the story with a bit of a Native American twist.

*PenB* My favorite part:The shaman's chanting and then calling out "Forgive!" You totally had my attention with this part.

*PenR* Some suggestions are:I spotted no grammar or typo issues in your writing. It was well thought out and executed. I would only wish that it was longer, but that is what happens with flash fiction.

*PenG* Overall:A riveting tale. The story had me entranced from beginning to end. I really didn't want the story to end!

Thank you for sharing your work, and Keep on Writing!

Thank you for sharing your site! You have made it a wonderful place to not only visit once, but to keep coming back. I enjoyed reading your biography at the head of the page. You definitely have a knack for poetry, and I like that you are working to expand your interest in the different styles of poem writing. Your graphics are simple, but beautiful. I also enjoyed reading your poem of what being a Christian means to you. I like the humble attitude you take in the poem.
The rhyme and flow of the poem makes it easy to read and understand. You make it feel honest and real. I see that you have a link to where you store your poetry, and also a link to a guest book. These are nice additions to your page. Happy 6th Anniversary at WdC, by the way!

sincerely,

KiyaSama has done a beautiful job with this site! I loved the graphics, and there are so many quotes and poems and stories here! I can tell this site has been done with love and honor for the Earth. It is hard to imagine anyone wanting to abuse the planet after seeing this site and looking at the links provided.
A wonderful job! The site just pulls you in. Some of the poems are heart-wrenching. Some just are a celebration of this blue orb that we call home. It doesn't matter the faith of the person who has written, it just matters that they care enough to contribute and to be a constructive part of our community! We are all members of the global community - we just have to decide what we will do with it. Some do nothing, but this site shows that a lot of people are doing something!

Wow, this is an amazing site! You have something for everyone! Welcoming newbies, encouraging others, and just random acts of kindness...guess I see where the ROAK comes from!

This page is set up so that it is easy to traverse, and I only saw one link that is "Not Valid" on the page. I am assuming that link is no longer available.

The affiliates are amazing as well. You've done a great job here!

An interesting contest. One that requires a bit of thought and preparation. The page has been formatted well, and the rules are easy to read and understand. I would be interested in scoping out this contest come 2016, when the next round takes place.

I appreciate you sharing your imagination and creativity in this format. Good luck with it in the future, and success in your endeavors.

Review of "Stood up.."  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Thank you for sharing.

*PenR* My first impression:Disappointment was definitely the reaction, and very appropriate. A sad story to be sure.

*Penr* How I feel about this:I would have added angry, disgust, betrayal, and disbelief to the disappointment. The images of worry and anger going back and forth in Erin's mind are vivid. I can understand this feeling of being stood up. It can be one of the hazards of being single.

*PenR* Some suggestions I have: I really didn't spot any typos or grammar issues. It is like an internal monologue along side with the narrator's voice.

*PenR* Overall:Well written. The images you've created with your writing flow smoothly from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

Review of A Path Followed  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing.

*PenR* My first impression: That pesky thing, choice! How it makes you squirm and hesitate over everything. A definite reminder on how choices make and mold us in all that we do or have done.

*Penr* How I feel about this: I agree with your views regarding choice: it can hang you up, or you can just decide and get on with living. I have definitely been there, done that. And since I am still living, LOL, I am still doing so every day.

*PenR* Some suggestions I have: I have no suggestions on how to improve this. The centering, as always with your poetry is eye appealing, and helps make the words flow smoothly like a waterfall. I spotted no typos or grammar issues in your writing.

*PenR* Overall: As always, you give your readers something to think about. Thank you for doing so. I enjoyed reading your work. Again, as always, great job!

Review of Shutterbug

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
A very scary idea, indeed! The description of the scenes you wrote about brought chill bumps to me while reading it. I did, however, have to grimace a little bit at the final scene where the hen-pecked husband went to go get his camera. It doesn't take a genius to guess what will happen to the wife *Shock2* .

I saw no grammar issues or typos in your writing. The flow was smooth, and the story was easy to read. Quite a thriller! Well done.

Thank you for sharing your poem. I like the style of it and how you've centered your words. I also like the footnote at the end of your poem to explain the "Flower". Thank you for that. An anguished cry as the ship is not going to a safe harbor, but to run aground. A clear lament in poetry style. I agree it has a bit of Shakespearean feel to the poetry.

I saw no typos or grammar issues to distract from the reading of your work. It was well thought out and executed. Good luck with the contest entry. I enjoyed reading it very much.

Review of Don't Run Aground  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

An encouraging poem. I like the comparisons of saving hands on a ship and saving a relationship and that of allowing children to grow up without the hate and prejudices that adults can poison their minds with.

I could picture each example that you give clearly, and your poem was easy to read and understand. My favorite line is the last one: Look Explore Be Free. I felt that it fit each circumstance that you described in your poem. Well done! I spotted no typos or grammar issues that would detract from your message. Thank you for sharing!

Review of Dinosaurus  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Vivid imagery of a rusting hulk of a ship laying on its side. I like the descriptions you give in your poem. The imagery of death is all about. Even the inevitability of death is resounded in the ending of your poem. "We are all but living dinosaurs". Perhaps one day someone will find our skeletons and wonder what we were like? Just as those who wonder what the rusting hulk of a ship was like in it's heyday.

Interesting questions to ponder. I spotted no typos or grammar issues with your writing. I like the way you've centered your poem to give spotlight to the words. Well done!

An interesting way to tell a story. The rules are clear and easily understandable. It seems to be a pretty popular contest.
I saw no typos or grammar issues, and it's funny how you said to "write like people talk" and not to worry about punctuation.
I have entered this contest before, and have enjoyed the prompts that you have given.
I hope this continues to stay a WdC favorite.

Thank you for sharing this poem. The title caught my eye. I enjoyed reading this vivid portrayal of a storm brewing and then letting loose. It was visually appealing as well. I could see the scene clearly in my mind as I read the poem. The ending also was gripping, with the "tips" of the water drops and the resounding CRASH at the end. Well thought out and written.
I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

So you head one of the classes I am thinking about killing myself with...LOL! In all seriousness, I like the layout and explanation of what you are wanting to achieve with this class. How else will we learn if we don't have a solid foundation? It looks to me that this would be an excellent resource for a firm foundation for my poetry writing. I am very interested in joining this class.

Thank you for sharing your passion with others in this amazing resource.

Thank you for sharing your Charlie Brown themed poem. I had to chuckle as I read the dialogue. The "grown-up" Wa Wa Wa's were icing on the cake. Nice use of technical terms as well. A cleverly written poem.

I saw no typos or grammatical issues. The dialog kept the poem going, and it was very easy to read. An amusing read. I look forward to reading more of your work soon. Keep up the great job.

Thank you for sharing this age-old story in an new inventive way. You paint a vivid description of the serpent, and the hate that begins to unfold within him. "The Coming Storm" is so very appropriate for this tragic tale.

Thank you for sharing this bittersweet poem. It hits home for me, as my grandfather had Alzheimer's as well. He was diagnosed just after he and grandma's 50th wedding anniversary.

You've shared your pain and tearful smiles within this poetry. I love the last two lines of your work: "And though you will forget me, I'll always remember you." It made me cry to read that.

You have a gift for sharing, and I enjoy reading your work very much. Keep up the great job.

I can't help myself...I had to check out your c-note shop. It is set up in an imaginative and fun way. I had to chuckle at all the little "gift guys" running around. You seem to have a c-note for just about any and every case. I can see why you have a Quills nomination, but I think an Award would have fit too! Well thought out and executed! I enjoyed looking around, and plan to stop in again when I have need of a c-note. Thanks for sharing!

I had to come back again and look some more. Thank you for sharing this poem. It is a shame so many children are growing up without a sure foundation. The theme of Christmas has gotten so caught up with money and the cost of something new - things that don't last much beyond the New Year. Thank you for the reminder of where our focus should lay - not only at Christmas time, but throughout the year.
I enjoy reading your poetry very much.

Thank you for sharing this reminder of why we celebrate Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year for many of the reasons you gave in your poem. It also is about re-birth and a fresh start...not just New Year's resolutions that fade before January is over - but a real fresh start from the inside of your being.

I enjoyed reading your writing, and I plan to read more of it as time goes by. Thank you for the beautiful lesson.

An interesting take on the "virtual" time period in American history. I like the play on words here. Nothing can mean both something that can be held in the hands, as well as refer to the quality of what was there. It is amusing and sad at the same time. Well thought out and executed.

A fitting tribute to a little girl. Unknown potential and although unknown in this life, yet still able to affect the life of the narrator.

A very bittersweet story. I like how you have kept the memory of this little "butterfly" alive. Well written.
