Dear April Desiree-I'm back! ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:You pulled me in with this story.

My Favorite Part(s)I like how the story began with Patricia's point of view. I wasn't a fan of her being abandoned, but at the same time, I could empathize with Bridget's despair.
I also was getting agitated with the constant ringing of the doorbell, but the ending made it worth it - Hugh came home! I am betting that if you were to continue this story, that Patricia would have "bowled him over" in her excitement. I saw that you won for your entry in the calendar contest for March.

Final Thoughts:I am glad that I got to look through some of your writings. I look forward to reading and reviewing more of your work in the future. Happy WdC Anniversary, again.

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


Dear April Desiree-I'm back! ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:
This is a short poem about fate's cruelty. The begging of one to another to remember their love. It seems the other has forgotten or doesn't want to remember.

My Favorite Part(s)It doesn't say who is whom in your story, for it seems it could be either party that is the beggar, and the other the would-be recipient of that longing. The pain of the last lines is visceral. To rob someone of any hope is indeed cruel.

Suggestions/Questions:It was written 10 years ago - it doesn't say whether or not you placed in the contest. Was it a prompt, or just something that inspired you? Thank you so much for sharing.

DearApril Desiree-I'm back! ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:
This is a sad story written in poetry form. I can see the young lovers enjoying their time together. Then the "call to arms" is answered. He prays that she not hold it against him, but he misses her terribly and thinks of her often.

My Favorite Part(s)The young knight's message is one of farewell, and a prayer that she visit where he lays in tranquility. His words remind her that he died doing as he was bid - for King, Country, and his "English rose". I love poetry, and this flows smoothly and paints a bittersweet picture.

Suggestions/Questions:I'm glad that you placed in the contest this was written for. Well done, and thank you so very much for sharing.

Dear April Desiree-I'm back! ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:I am a mythology buff, and enjoy reading stories based on mythology. I was intrigued by the title "Queen of Shades" and it being about Persephone.

My Favorite Part(s)I liked the way you've written this story. How Demeter ended up losing Persephone to Hades, after forbidding her being with Apollo. I also liked the way Persephone actually came to care for Hades, and was glad of being "tricked" into eating the pomegranate seeds. I could see the story being played out in my mind's eye as I read it.

Suggestions/Questions:What was your inspiration for this story? Thank you so much for sharing.

Review of The Manic Attack  
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


Dear April Desiree-I'm back! ,

Happy WdC Anniversary! I am reviewing your last entry of your blog The Manic Attack - "My personal shift in consciousness". I am a fan of blogging myself, so I was interested to see something from your point of view in blog form.

After reading your work, My impressions are these:I see that you've written this post in response to a media prompt challenge.
You address two different topics - The first being insomnia/hypersomnia. I learned something new with this. I didn't know that circadian rhythms could try to make a 25 or even 30 hour cycle. And here I just thought I was mixing up my own days and nights! I'm glad you seem to be having some success with your sleep cycle. I wish you well.

The other topic is the focus on money rather than "stars". It is true that money cannot buy happiness. It helps keep the bills paid, true - but our lives are worth so much more than a dollar amount. You make a valid point here.

I am glad that I took the time to read this, and I'm excited to read more of your posts. I've added you (and your blog) to my "faves" list.


My Favorite Part(s)I like the way you've written your post. It is written respectfully, while still giving your opinion. I find that refreshing.

Suggestions/Questions:Did your post win with the challenge? I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Tinker

I am reviewing this as part of the 23 in 11 Challenge, and your post was right before mine.

My First Impression:I can relate to this poem - there have been many a times I've fallen asleep and was startled back awake when the book fell out of my hand.

My Favorite Part:And totally relatable again - maybe just one more chapter...that is me to a "T"...and I often pay for it in the morning.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:Thank you for sharing this poem. I enjoyed it very much, and it brought a smile to my face.

Sincerely,
AmyJo

Dear Amay ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:You are correct in your thoughts. You've written this with so much grace and thoughtfulness.

My Favorite Part(s) You profess your faith, in spite of the pain you've experienced. You don't lash out, but realize that others might not know what to say. It is just words.

My Favorite Part(s)Most of these recipes I've not heard of, save the oatmeal m&m cookies. I would very much like to try these recipes out.

Final thoughts:You seem to have several different talents in your writing, and I'm glad that I took the time to peruse your port for this month.

After reading your work, My impressions are these:I actually like what you've done here, and enjoyed the different formats you've used. I like different forms of poetry, and your giving the styles as you've written was helpful to me.

Dear Amay ,

I just wanted to wish you a happy account anniversary!

After reading your work, My impressions are these:Hmm. Practice is indeed the key to getting better. You have set this well in your acrostic. Is learning cursive writing even a thing anymore? LOL.

My Favorite Part(s)I love acrostic poems, and this one flows seamlessly. Trying to do my best/Inspecting, analyzing each attempt - these are encouraging lines. Putting the work in is the way to go!

Suggestions/Questions:I think this is perfect; I'd only like the font a little larger, as my eyes get tired reading small print. You've done well. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Jim ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:A wonderful and lovely way to think about your loved one.

My Favorite Part(s)"No longer two, but one; about it, there's nothing to discuss". How wonderful to be able to claim a love such as that. I might be a sap, but to me this is what describes love.

Final Thoughts:I've enjoyed your port for this Anniversary Month. I'm glad to have read through it, and I love the work you do here on WdC. I hope this is your best year yet. Take Care.

Dear Jim ,

I am enjoying my time perusing your port. I love your sense of humor in your writing.

After reading your work, My impressions are these:Poor colon! Now I want to go down the rabbit hole and find out how it got its name. LOL.

My Favorite Part(s)I like the humor displayed relating to the other parts of the mechanics of grammar. Colon definitely has issues.

Final Thoughts:This writing is just hilarious. You've personalized the colon and now I cannot think of it any other way. Nicely done.

Dear Jim ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:Again, you got me. I had to read this a couple of times. At first I thought it was about death, then I thought, break-up. It wasn't until the last line, that it was about lost memories.

My Favorite Part(s)I love poetry, and this one has a good cadence to it. "I swear someone laughted and chuckled with glee" has a sinister sound to it.

Final thoughts: I hope that this isn't something you are grappling with all of the time - that would be so frightening. But I can sympathize with forgetting things now and again. It drives me nuts. Thank you for sharing.

My Favorite Part(s) I love the play on words. I, too, haven't been on this site that long (almost a year), but I love the camaraderie and the friends that I've made here.

Dear ruwth

This reminds me of the "twigs" that my son and daughter brought to my dad from school for Arbor Day. He got a blue spruce and another pine tree. He planted them, and over the years they've gotten so big.

Your poem gave me a smile as I thought about those long ago days.

Thank you for the picture and the back story for your poem. I enjoyed reading it.

I saw no mechanical issues - just a lovely little story of a "crazy" tree. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Choconut ~ House Targaryen ,

I wish you a most wonderful WdC Anniversary. I am nosing around your portfolio this month as part of the Anniversary Reviews. I am definitely getting more than I bargained for.

After reading your work, My impressions are these: The Chocolate Emporium is enough to put me into a drooling diabetic coma from which I wouldn't wish to wake from. The pictures make me salivate shamelessly.

My Favorite Part(s)I love looking through and seeing your excitement throughout. Congrats on all of your promotions. You've definitely have earned it! I also love the different MB that I see decorating this writing. They are all so beautiful.

Suggestions/Questions: I have no suggestions other than to keep doing what you do. You are very active here, and I see that you put a lot of effort into your endeavors. I would love to learn how you prioritize your work. I am happy to look around and see what I can see. Thank you for opening up and sharing your work.

My First Impression:I am looking forward to learning more about this group.

My Favorite Part:I like how you make the group inclusive.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:I think this is a very good idea, and I look forward to participating. Mental health and the struggles with depression and anxiety is a real thing. I never really thought of myself as having mental health issues, but this past year has really been a struggle to me - more than I ever realized.

Dear Princess Megan Rose GOT Fox ,

After reading your work, My impressions are these:I love that you are able to have such an imagination. And by the way, I LOVE Danielle Steele. One of my favorite stories from her was Palomino. That's been quite a while ago.

My Favorite Part(s)I love your storylines, and I absolutely love the idea of a doll room where you can run amok with stories. I remember my oldest daughter when she was younger, of course - She had a Beauty and the Beast comforter set (in pinks and yellows) and she also had about 5 sets of the Disney Princess/Prince sets when they were big (1990s anyone?)
I could see that in my mind's eye reading your work. And who wouldn't want to be carried off by Jack Dawson or Jack Sparrow? *BigSmile*

Final Thoughts:Even after the Anniversary Reviews are over this month, I still plan on plundering your portfolio. If I could "double fan" you, I certainly would! Thank you for sharing!

Hello Jaeff | KBtW of the Free Folk

My First Impression: I like the way you've laid out the argument for prayer and meditation being more alike than different. My guess is the focus is different - inward vs. "higher power".

My Favorite Part: I like the clarity you've used in your work. I also like your conclusion of prayer vs. mediation compared to forest vs. the trees.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:I found nothing of note mechanically or grammatically. I wish you well in the contest you've entered.

Hello LightinMind

My First Impression:This chapter held my attention all the way through. I could see the scenes in my mind's eye.

My Favorite Part:Emily is a wonderful and precocious little girl. She is just perfect. Self absorbed just as a little girl is...learning as she goes, and copying mannerisms from her mom. She is delightful. Her innocence shows even at the end; where she still wants to see the King, unaware of what has happened to her dad.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts: I certainly hope that you continue on with this work. I would be interested in reading it if you do.

Hello Jaeramee of the Free Folk

My First Impression:Wow! This was a hard read for me. When I think of the war in the Ukraine, I have a hard time picturing it. This work brought it home. The dialogue, the phrasing and even the cursing made it come alive. The picture of the little girl made me cry. This war seems so unnecessary.

My Favorite Part:That Oleksander came out of this skirmish alive. He seemed a little shocked at the body of whom he considered the enemy. I like how he thought that in another life, they could have actually been friends. It adds to the realism and the craziness that war brings.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:The ending seemed to be a little bit of a cliff-hanger. It also seemed a little rushed. Was this intentional? Will you be expanding this story? I hope you do well in the contest you are entering.

My Favorite Part(s) I love the phrase "Let my pen gently weep"...for there are times that my pen does that, along with my eyes. I can just unburden my heart, almost like a prayer.

Final Thoughts: I saw that you mentioned the Shadows and Light Poetry contest. I have entered that contest before. Thank you so much for sharing, and letting me nose around your portfolio. I had fun today. Keep up the great work. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.
