Review of Seed of THANKS  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
What made me drawn to review this piece: Who could not want to read a seed of thanks. It brings so much to mind. The bold THANKS, ALL, UNSELFISHLY, FAMILY, ME...is so relative to the piece and I give thanks that you did that because it drew me in.




How it made me feel: So happy because I've been on both ends during these times. I'm grateful to those who've helped me and I am greatful that I've been able to give to others. You can feel that need.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes, it was wonderful.

What made me drawn to review this piece: As someone who has been married 33 years and wonder what keeps me here I see something like this and it gets my heart pumping fast just like the horse on the race course.




How it made me feel: For some reason it makes me feel like there is no rhythm or rhyme to what goes on between two hearts which should be beating as one.




Did it connect to the human experience? As in love, so is divorced. My first time nearly 4 years my second 33. I think you have to keep love alive or it dies.

A great contest for all to do with different muses everyday! To me even if you don't win you are getting something off of your chest making you feel better about your life situation. Also, the most important part is you get experience in writing something you may never have thought about writing before. Keep on going with these. I do miss the quote contests so bad.

Review of My Mother's House  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE NEWBIE REVIEWE...  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
What made me drawn to review this piece: I wondered what someone would think of their Mother's house. Sometimes I wonder what my family thinks of me because I am so sick I can't take care of myself; therefore wondering about my own life. This really drew me in such vivid pictures of her Mother's house, a creative place but like one that couldn't possibly create anything. Scary because it did make me think of myself in some way.




How it made me feel: I feel like I heard your voice in this poem. That is something writer's strive for all their life and you seem to have captured it in this piece of writing.




Did it connect to the human experience?
Yes, no matter what keep on writing.

Review of Little Girl  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
What made me drawn to review this piece: The caption after the title. I couldn't imagine a little girl's life being so much happier in a life. It made me feel so bad for the little girl. Such a cold, cold poem but it lacked the reasons why this little girl's whole family was gone or going. It didn't make me understand why this girl's life is gone nor why it had to happen. It does have potential though.




How it made me feel: Very sad. So depressed for the little girl.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes, it could happen but I wonder why it would.

Why did you choose this piece to review? The title brought me into the need to read the piece. It was hard to follow and left me feeling unfinished at the idea; that's what was good about it the idea of the story but nothing fell into place. If this one was rewritten I would be glad to take a second look at it but it just left me wondering what was going on.




On a scale of 1-10 how did this touch your heart? I felt sorry for the sister but I just couldn't put everything together. It left too much out.





Content: Needs to be more, please?

Why did you choose this piece to review? The word Redux called my attention to this poem. It was a bit confusing I would like to see a little more so I could make a better judgement. Makes me wonder where her body is, is she dead, stuff like that...

What made me drawn to review this piece: Whenever someone reviews something of mine I usually repay the favor. I am really glad I did because this was quite enjoyable and I usually don't like fantasy. This was really well written. All the sentences were correct and I could see this as a book. Have you considered doing the nanano writing thing for the month of November. I'm doing it but of course I am behind as usual. I always go back to writing something else or reading. There's only so many hours in a day. The description of the tree was so perfect. I'm ready to read the rest of the story. You wrote very smoothly and the transition of going to the other character was very good. Sometimes that becomes awkward in a story for me but you eased though it.

Review of The Woman I Loved  
Review by Being Diane
Rated: E | (5.0)
What made me drawn to review this piece: Anything about a Mother interests me because I am a Mother and of course I had one.




How it made me feel: Very good because you remember the love between a Mother and a child at a young age. I love that part.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes because there does come a time when you have to be the one taking care of your Mom.

Review of Just for Men  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)
What made me drawn to review this piece: I couldn't imagine what this was going to be about when I read the title "Just for Men." The vision in my head was completely different from what I read. I'm telling you I was glad someone besides a woman fell for that crap. You can't imagine how much money we spend on that "stuff" to make us pretty for y'all! My daughter didn't ask when she went in the last beauty shop the last time what the price would be!!! $275! Yours was so good I nearly peed in my pants. I could picture you buck naked trying to get stuff to work!




How it made me feel: Wonderful!!! I haven't laughed at a story in a long time.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes, of course. We've all been there and done that only you wrote it better.

Could you check and see if I am still a member of your group? I've been away for a while due to sickness and a number of other problems that hits us as we age. One thing I have I am sure of aging doesn't get any easier as we loose our family members but this gives us more story material. There is one thing that should be written in stone when a person who is elderly tells you "When you have your health you have everything!!" This is my reply now that I face this stage of my life: Those seniors were not just whistling Dixie!

Love,
Diane

Review of That's you  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with The Brainstormers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
What made me drawn to review this piece: Love draws me in because it is something we all know, or most of us, universally. I remember writing about an ex-lover and a poor man responded that I was lucky to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Very true words but my first love consumed me much like this writing. You did a wonderful job.




How it made me feel:It made me feel like I did with my 1st love it was so strong if we would have stayed together it would have burnt everything in its' sight.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes, especially the fact that I think you were describing a first love. They are so hard to get over.

What made me drawn to review this piece: Because I have an elderly dog, Jewell. I would give anything to give her some of my years just to keep her a little longer. Your poem showed me the love we have for each other because we talk eye to eye everyday. You have brought this out in such a good piece, short but so very sweet.




How it made me feel: Sad with lots of tears.




Did it connect to the human experience? Yes! I don't go on and on about if there are mistakes especially with such wonderful words of pets which we hold so dear. Thanks to you and your dog who inspired you.

What made me drawn to review this piece: Leaving yourself exposed to someone else in this day and time leaves you feeling exactly the way you are feeling and it came through perfectly in your poem. I find that in my day during the sixties and seventies people were more open to people and how they felt. The email, texts, and stuff have just made an a void of people's feelings. Although it feel rejection comes through just the same.




How it made me feel: It made me so sad to know someone gave to someone so much and they don't care enough to even answer why?




Did it connect to the human experience? Very much so because this is why I read. I want to connect no matter what the age.

Why did I pick this piece to review? Because my belief is as yours please don't what a reminder.. I worked at a summer camp. A gun was out running the law as they say ina small town. Of course the small minded person I worked with couldn''t wait until he told everyone how they were scopping this guys brains out. What did I see when I saw that cross: you tell me...small towns can be the worst.

Did the title fit-yes.

Content-Just like life in a small town. There's even a cross by our Ruby Tuesday to commenrate the day an idiot was driving his motercycle so fast that he ran it up the pole. Hey, just ut on the pole--this is where the young idiot ran his motor cycle up the pole.

Why did I pick this piece to review? I wondered what it was about because me being a beauty of the past only haunted me all my life. I picked the wrong men and stayed in relationships for God knows what reason. The problem was I should have went with the men who had some heart instead of the good-looking ones who were always looking in the mirror or at some other woman.. I know wished I would've have kept the man who I broke their heart. One who stands in the graveyard wondering what went wrong.

Did the title fit-yes because we let it just drift away from us. Why, we don't ask ourselves when we were young only when we are older and live has escaped us.

Content-wonderful. I've been married 33 years of wasted time.. Even the diease, fibromyagia is because of him. I wish he would go live with my outlaws and I'd be forever happy. You did a great job. I'd like to converse with you online and you read the last poem I wrote..

I would love to join this group. I enjoy reading as much as I do writing because I think when you read and review you learn from your own writing. This looks like somethig I would really be interested in and I also want to know how to donate points in order for the writing support group to match the GP's I donate.
Thanks,

Why did I pick this piece to review? I saw it in the contest using the promts and wanted to see what the three words bought out in writing.



Did the title fit? Very well because it lead to the way the poem was leaning..good job!


Content: Wonderful because you brought the pain of love into a very unique view. I think sometimes, especially the male species, don't understand how a woman feels about love. You brought it forward because we love so deep we can't just move on right away--I had to go through several emotions before I got to the one where my heart wouldn't skip a beat when I saw him. BEWARE THE MALE SPECIES MAY DISAGREE!

Review of Beggar's Sermon  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Why did I pick this piece to review? Mostt commonly we mistake these days that the preachers are the ones with expensive shoes and suits on but if you've ever read Ragamuffin gospel you will find a change of heart. I am glad Vincent took the time to remind of what Christ was all about. He did hang out with the rich rabbis in their nice
temples he woiuld be hanging out with the poor in the street. You did such a great job on this poem you should enter it in a contest. It uplifted me when I was so down in the dumps because my son can't stay out of prison. Maybe it isn't my plight in life to tell him where he is to minister to people.


Did the title fit? Very much so. It reminded me of a friend of mine who had a comfortable job at a church with his wife and 2 children. He decided it wasn't enough for his ministry and took it to the streets to really set an example.


Content: Very good. One of the best I've ever read on religion on writing.com.

Why did I pick this piece to review? It was a newbie and I always like to encourage. I can remember when I was one and my writing has improved so much during the years. You will see to because writing is about always rewriting. I still have to rewrite. I't's part of the process.



Did the title fit? It fit but the body of your poem I just got lost in and I read it about 3 times.


Content:
Really needs some work on it so your reader can really understand what's going on.

Review of CHANGED LOVE  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with The Brainstormers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Why did I pick this piece to review? bECA USE I belong to the group and I think sometimes others prey on people who are weak with mental illness. I know my husband does and I have to get away, 33 years of riding a roller coaster is much too long for anyone. On the honeymoon he called me a different woman's name and the list goes on and on. Said our son was dead.



Did the title fit? Yes. All of us suffer in this group without having someone helping us along. Another thing is like the movie 30 days...we should have to keep a plant alive and have a dog to love us.


Content: Very good. Please pray for me on July 24 at 9 a.m. I have my disability hearing.

I know Biopolar is hard. You just hang in there and you''ll come through fine. This writing.com as a hobby helps us so much.

Review of Obsession  
Review by Being Diane
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE NEWBIE REVIEWE...  
Rated: E | (2.5)
Why did I pick this piece to review?
I always like to review Newbies to give them some insight and hoping I can help them without being critical. Your essay had some good content in it but you didn't need to tell the story you need to show it to us. Give us some sights, sounds, eyes, smells (like the smell of the mental hospital). Show us how she had the breakdown, how did she loose the baby. I had no idea about her boyfriend's Mom being a whore. What would that fit in the story iso a little more backround information. When she met him what happened to the relationship. How did she loose the baby. The ending just dropped off. I used to do that to sad stories because I couldn't face what was happening to them.


Did the title fit? No, I wanted to see more obession with the boyfriend. What was he like? A nerd, a music man, just a man, something.


Content: The cont.ent is so good it just needs some work. Always remember writing means, re-writing it again and again. At least you are great with grammer and spelling
