HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:First of all I want to say thank you for sharing this very personal story. The emotion in your poem is very strong and I can feel it in your writing. I liked the way you ended the poem. You have no reason to suffer because of someone else’s decision. You are the one who has the beautiful daughter and you are the one who gets to experience all the wonders of watching her grow up. That is your reward for going through what you did.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall your poem moved me and made me think. It painted a picture in my mind and I saw it more than read it. Great job.

It is very important to keep a calm disposition when dealing with stressors in your life. It’s imortant for your mind your body and your soul.

An inspirational piece. There are many times in my life when I have felt overwhelmed and it has a negative effect on me. I had to decide if I was going to keep letting life beat me down or if I was going to find a way to fight through those feelings and come out the other side a better person. I chose the latter.

Thank you for sharing your work.

I really like the first stanza of this poem. Those words create such a vivid image in my head. I like the way you wrote this poem. First laying out the problem and then giving its effect or resolution. This poem created great mental imagery for me. Specially that first stanza. Great Job.

Thank you for sharing your work.

There is a reason the words 'hard work' and 'determination' go hand in hand. It's very hard to complete a complicated task unless you work hard at it and stay determined to complete it. I read somewhere it takes 10,000 hrs to master something. To me, getting stronger falls into that category. To do anything for 10,000 hrs would take determination.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PIECE:I chose your poem because it was in the read a newbie section.The title caught my attention.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I liked the imagery in your poem. It painted a picture in my mind from the opening stanza. I could see the towering buildings on the city skyline.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:This poem made me feel a little in awe of the size of the buildings I was envisioning. It also made me feel very small in comparison to the vastness of the buildings.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall I enjoyed your poem. It was a smooth read from start to finish and it told your story well. I didn't see any errors with it and I can't think of any suggestions I could make for improvement. Good job.

Hi. I’m CJ and I’m reviewing your work in association with the Newbies + Poetry Group.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PIECE:I found your poem in the read a Newbie section and both the title and discription caught my attention.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:as a poem I thought it had a nice flow and rhymes. It moved well from start to finish. The subject touched my heart though.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:This poem made me both angry and sad. I see people from time to time who do this to their “pets”. The are forever locked up. I knew some people who had 2 huskies as “pets”. They spent their whole life locked in kennels in the back yard. I asked one “why don’t you let them out to run around?” They said, we can’t, they can be vicious. Really? I wonder why. *FacePalm* Notice I said ‘knew’.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall I liked your poem. It read well and left me emotionally affected which is what us poets really want to do, isn’t it. Great job.

Thank you for sharing your work. Keep writing. Feel free to stop by my Portfolio and read some of my work.

It really is a shame to see so many intelligent people wasting their lives with drugs. Destroying their potential. I too have known people with so much natural talent and ability and instead of applying it and making the world a better place they fell into the dark lure of drugs only to become shrivelled and wasted before their time.

Thank you for sharing your work.

I agree it is very important to keep your mind occupied when you are feeling anxious or depressed. Lately I’ve been sitting down and re-evaluating my life to figure out what it is that will truly bring me happiness. I read books. I watch documentaries. I heard a quote in a movie I watched last night “People will never find happiness in the things they don’t need”. This is so true to me.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Hi. I’m CJ and I’m reviewing your work in association with the Newbies + Poetry Group.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PIECE:I found your poem in your portfolio. It was right there so I read it. *Smile*

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I liked the rhyme scheme. The poem flows well from start to finish. It wasn’t difficult to read and the terminology used was very modern with references to Facebook and Instagram among others. This engaged me.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:Your poem gave me imagery of today’s society with their faces stuck in their cell phones. Wanting to be something they think everyone else wants them to be.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall I enjoyed reading your poem. I hope you like it here at WDC and I hope you share some more of your writing. Come check out our group too. It’s a great place to start.

Hi. I’m CJ and I’m reviewing your work in association with the Newbies + Poetry Group.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PIECE:I chose to read your poem because I found it in the review section and the discription looked interesting.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I like that the poem told a story. I will admit I’m not exactly sure what about *Blush*, but I was able to follow it and got into it as much as I could.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:This poem made me feel like there was a sort of monumental conflict going on. Like the main ‘character’ of the piece was on the edge of making some kind of decision.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall I enjoyed reading this poem. I did notice there are a couple stanzas that open with quotes but don’t end with them. I’m not sure if this is intentional. Also the 6th stanza kind of tripped me up with the last line. These, of course are just my opinions and nothing takes away from my enjoyment of our poem. Great job.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS PIECE:I chose to read this poem because I saw it on the newsfeed and it looked interesting.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I liked the imagery it created for me. I could see myself sitting in a diner, could see the server you are speaking about. Appearing happy and carefree on the outside but with sadness in her eyes.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:This poem made me feel sorry for the server in the diner. The story you told felt completed when I got to the end of the piece.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:I enjoyed reading your poem. It flowed well, I had no trouble getting from start to finish and I was left feeling satisfied at the end. Good Job.

This sounds a lot like jealousy to me. jealousy can be a very vial hateful thing. It makes people do things they wouldn't normally do. Wanting after another persons property, spouse, job. There is a reason it is a sin. Your poems always make my mind work and find real life situations to compare them to.

The mind can be such a terrible cruel thing sometimes. We live through some pretty bad stuff and get by just fine and then, once we think it’s all behind us, BAM. Dreams. It’s great when you can find time to put your mind at rest but when you sleep you have no control.

Review of OXYMORON

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


Hi. I’m CJ and I’m reviewing your work in association with the Newbies + Poetry Group.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS PIECE:I found your poem in the review area and the title caught my eye. I was told in a review yesterday that I had created an new oxymoron so the word was fresh in my head.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I liked reading your poem. I will admit that I don't really understand it but you said it was for an assignment so that kind of makes sense then. It's hard to put a lot of emotion and feeling into something we are required to do.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:This poem made me feel like I was reading something different from what I am used to and stirred up curiosity for me.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:The poem appears to be well written. Again, I'm not sure what the assignment was, but what I read is understandable and works. Maybe a quick explanation of the assignment at the bottom of the poem to explain it.

Thank you for sharing your work. Keep writing. Feel free to stop by my Portfolio and read some of my work.

It's the worst feeling in the world when you feel like you want to give up and quite the fight. There are a lot of times that a person could justify these feelings. But you made reference to the Samurai and if he surrenders, he surrenders his life. If that's the case then why stop fighting? Better to die with dignity and honor than to give up.

Thank you for sharing your work.

Hi. I’m CJ and I’m reviewing your work in association with the Newbies + Poetry Group.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS PIECE:I found your poem when I was looking through the review section.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:I liked the story your poem told and I also liked the flow. They rhyming was well done and it made the read smooth from start to finish.

HOW THIS PIECE MADE ME FEEL:I know what the butterfly effect is and the poem using the actually effects of freeing the butterfly to symbolize the butterfly effect was very nicely done. I felt that the thought behind the poem was complete when I got to the end.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:Overall I was impressed with this poem and very happy I took the time to read it. I'm partial to traditional poetry in the sense of rhyming verse so I took pleasure in reading your writing.

It's disappointing that today's society is so fixated on the drama and violence that goes on in the world. You got it exactly right. It seems people aren't happy unless they see something bad happening on the news. Even if all they do is complain about it, at least they got their daily dose of violence. It's sad really.

It is so important that people take time to unwind and relax. To find that inner calmness. Find their happy place. I take time at work quite often when I’m on my breaks and close my eyes and go to my calm place. Even when I’m having a good day. It just helps me to stay relaxed and focused. Relaxation and calmness are so important.

As a person who suffers from depression, I can relate perfectly with this poem. I know exactly what it feels like to be standing in the middle of a beautiful sunny day and see nothing but darkness and clouds. For me, finding that piece of optimism isn’t always easy and even when you do that little bugger can be slippery and hard to hold on to.

I know people in my life who are like this. They always need to be busy doing something. Moving from one thing to the next. Always having to have a project on the go. I don’t understand how this hectic lifestyle works. I could never be that way. I’m perfectly happy sitting by myself in the quiet doing nothing. That is what brings me joy.

As a person who suffers from anxiety, I can say first hand that rejection is horrible. The third stanza is specially true. When you make an effort and let your guard down and then people reject you all the same it really takes a toll on your self confidence and makes it harder and harder to do it again.

Thank you for sharing your work.
