This is good! It captures the imagination and pulls the reader into the old house. Two young girls exploring where they shouldn't, what could go wrong?
I'm not the best at finding errors and mistakes, but after reading it twice (the first time just for entertainment, the second to try and find anything wrong) I have nothing to add, change, or remove.
This is a great little story with so many possibilities; maybe even chapter one of a novel.
The Trinket is nice, but then who doesn't like a cute cat? As for the Automatic Review Response system, I think it's terrific. Of course, it's change, so there's bound to be some resistance, but I think it's good change and I'm excited to see yet another awesome idea come to light.
What a great poem. I enjoyed the storyline and especially liked the rhyming. It flows well and creates a nice image in the reader's mind. We often wonder what our pets are dreaming, and with cats, this seems to be fitting.
Nicely done, and thank you for sharing your poetry.
I found this to be a very enjoyable poem. I enjoyed the rhythm and I especially enjoyed the rhyming throughout the poem. You give a wonderful depiction of love and the different directions it can go. I especially liked the lines: "But lurking shadows, mysteries unsound" and "Yet midst its beauty, fate's sharp edges hide". I think anyone who has really loved will relate to this poem.
I enjoyed reading this poem and found it easy to relate to. I think most people will, as we have all been stuck in a rut at one time or another. I especially enjoyed the questions you asked throughout the piece, it pulls the reader in deeper and makes the poem more personal. I also like the contrast you make between sane and insane, and which is which. This is a very good poem, well done!
A very well-written poem, with great rhythm, great flow, and terrific rhyming. I found this very easy to read and follow from start to finish. It was very enjoyable; entertaining, a bit humorous, and really gets the reader to ponder Christmas in July.
This is very well done and I hope you get your needed socks.
Another wonderful tale, but then I'm partial to dogs. I love the dialogue as well as how the story unfolds. I thought for a while it was going to be haunting, but instead, the ending surprised me and left me smiling.
Very well-written, very entertaining, and very enjoyable.
I enjoyed reading this and relate to it quite well. I laugh at my kids who always have a solution (usually a bad one) they found on Youtube.
I went through a lot of this last year while doing Keto, not just with Youtube, but with online information in general. It's difficult to find an answer, there is one from every point of view.
Like you, I often don't find answers, just a headache, burning eyes, and a lot of time wasted.
I just stopped by your port and happened to stop here first. What a wonderful poem. I can relate well, having worked security for a home improvement store on Black Fridays.
I love the rhythm and the rhyme, this flows so smoothly. It's entertaining and creates a vivid image as it progresses, and you wrap up the ending with a logical solution.
Very well-written and very entertaining. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I love this poem! Of course, I'm a bit biased since I also love canines. You do a wonderful job of describing their love and companionship, how they will stick by your side (except for maybe when a squirrel distracts them), and their loyalty.
You use a bit of humor, balanced verse, and wonderful rhyme to make this even better. Well done!
Although I'm a dog person right to my soul, I also love cats, especially kittens. Unfortunately, I developed an allergy to them.
This poem brought back memories of my first kitten. It is well structured and fun to read, realistically expressed, and the rhyming makes it even more enjoyable to read. I especially liked the ending.
I found no grammatical errors (although editing isn't my strong point) and nothing I would change. Well done!
I love the way you wrote this; it couldn't be any more Merrier or Christmasy! I do believe you managed to put all the aspects of Christmas into this one item while keeping things hopping and moving right along.
I couldn't help but smile as I read this, very well done, and may all your Christmasses be white.
I stopped by after reading your post in the Newsfeed and stumbled upon this gem. Although it's a short item, it provides a full story, is entertaining, and holds the reader through to the end. This is very descriptive and creates clear concise imagery; I not only read the story, but I could also visualize it as well.
Very well written with great dialogue; the story flows along smoothly.
As a parent it's easy to relate to the story, and having once been a child, to understand it from both sides of the conversation. I especially enjoyed the ending, wrapping it up in a mildly humorous way that is also believable.
A wonderfully written poem, and very entertaining. Especially when a person can relate from their own experience, although it was a bit different setting. Mine was a clear night in the garage, where I had left the door open. A pesky possum had entered and was looking for a snack. I'm not sure which of us was startled more!
This is a very nicely done acrostic poem describing gratitude in various forms from being thankful to practicing patience and peace. It includes principles of understanding and dealing with others as well.
It provides the reader with smoothly flowing instructions on life and interactions with others. It's both fun to read as well as very good advice. I could see this posted in various places... Very well done.
I enjoyed reading your poem, "Sometimes on Waking". As I read I could easily relate to times when I woke not sure where I was, as you so adeptly described. For me, it's when sleeping in an unfamiliar place, waiting for my mind to wake up and fill in where I am.
You did a wonderful job of describing and creating an image throughout the poem. Very well done!
This is a short poem about a tree standing against the winter winds.
What a beautiful poem! You did an awesome job of painting this into a picture the ready can see. The balance is wonderful, the words flow smoothly, and the imagery is perfect.
I don't see anything that needs addressing or correcting; it's wonderful!
This is a very nice poem, it has a great flow and rhythm, and is just plain enjoyable. I love the consistency shown throughout, holding to the same pattern. I enjoyed how it ended as it started, as well as how the questions develop.
The only place I came across anything that, in my thoughts as the reader, could use change was the following line:
You make me so happy
You truly really do
All the others hold to the same rhyming pattern except "do". Unfortunately, I cannot think of any suggestions that would help.
Other than one little catch, it's a beautiful poem and very enjoyable to read.
This is a very nice poem about poetry, or what poetry is. I loved the format of what the poem is and what the poem is, written in return.
Every stanza is well-balanced and clear, it's easy to read and follow, and very enjoyable. You did a terrific job of creating an image of what poetry is and how it's balanced.
I enjoyed reading this poem, thank you for sharing it with us.
This is very well written, it flows smoothly, reads easily, and depicts a scene both wonderful and terrifying. For us who follow this doctrine, this poem is powerful and moving.
Thank you for sharing this, your timing could not be better.
What a great entry! I think there are a lot of us who have bad relationships with food. I was surprised how much of this I've been dealing with myself. Meals are usually in the recliner with the TV going, and food is gulped down way too fast.
I've been working on that, too. Sitting at the table to eat is a big help, but I still tend to eat quickly. I also started Keto, since I have some issues with carbs, and that has helped me drop 19 pounds since the first of January.
Although I'm happy to have won twice in a row, I would also like to see other's win. With it being a week-long contest to allow more participants, maybe limit winning to once a month to give everyone a chance?
Even though I'm asking for someone else to be picked for winning, I really enjoy writing for the Humdinger Word of the Day, so if it's possible to enter but only be allowed to win once per month, that would be terrific.
