A well written poem, no errors noted. A wonderful tale of the horse, and getting her to safety. It shows compassion and a love you may not have known right away! The poem flows smoothly, was a pleasure to read! Keep up the good work and write on!

Review of The Fairy Kiss  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a wonderful write - The rhyming is perfect - I just wonder if it shoud be put in poetry format - I am sure that it would be a winner! I think that in the Traditional Poetry contest, they are looking for the rhyming in a 4 line (or even 6 line) verse - BUT Sherry knows her stuff, as do the other judges, so I'll be still *Smile*
This was a truly pleasant read and I'll be marking it a favorite!
Keep up the good work and write on!

Review of Sidewalk Soldiers  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I honestly think this is the BEST I've seen here - THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTRY, IT IS PERFECT! From start to finish, it carries a message to all of us - So many times I have stopped a soldier to say "thank you for your service!" It is an amazing transformation in them, and their smile as they thank ME! Too often we just pass by without a word - which could mean so much to them. You have renewed my faith in mankind! I hope you get a thousand reviews on this one- it deserves it!
The contest closes on Monday, the 30th, and I will be reviewing all entries. This one is going to be hard to beat, my friend! Keep up the execellent writing!

Review of Summer's Fall  
Rated: E | (5.0)
The poem is so well written, bringing a look at the peace that comes with Fall, my favorite season! My favorite verse :is the perfect ending-
"where the leaves have already taken their dance
to the ground, at my feet,
where I stand connected to the earth."
Not an error noted, no way I would offer any changes to it!
You have seized the magic of the changing season!
Well done! Write on!

Thank you for your entry in the Senior Center Contest! You've used the prompt well, this is a visual poem - I also love the lines about the scarlet roses releaasing their frangrance into the wind. The only thing I can say about your poem is that I wish it were longer - but I do get a beautiful picture of the rainbow and roses in a crystal vase. I really like the poem! Write on!

A riveting story - very graphic, well thought out. The horrors of war haunt the servicemen who see their buddies die, and the images of their friends in death are unforgetable. The Marine unit and their Navy Corpsmen that I was honored to correspond with when they were in Iraq brought much insight inito what they were going through. When soldiers were killed, they had a ceremony for them, with rifle, helmet and boots standing alongside...One of "my" Marines was burned really badly in an IED explosion, and was rescued and airlifted to Germany for treatment. He survived, and was sent back to his unit. But - back to your story, you've done a fine job of bringing the story to life. WELL DONE!
Keep up the good work and Write on!

It has been a long time since I wandered to a new (for me) contest, but when I saw this one, I knew it was one I could write for! The format of the contest is very good, well thought out and rules are easy to follow! To me, this Lighhouse contest is a breath of fresh air! I am marking it a favorite to come back to!
Very well done!

Thank you for the entry, Ken! First one there and is sure to bring some smiles to many a retiree! Written with your unique sence of humor ahowing *Smile* it proves to be one that many of us can relate to! Well done! I did note one thing in the 4th verse, second line. The word "tell" - I beieve, should be plural "tells" - a minor thing, so don't worry about it Besides, folks will be laughing before then!
I love it- Thanks again for being YOU!

Review of Honor Bound  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Okay, Ken - when I saw the underlined words, I realized it was for Stormy Lady's contet- It is a beautifully written verse, and if she doesn't award it fiirst place, I'd be surprised. I noted you did not want it entered in the Honoring Our Veterans contest and that's okay - HOWEVER, at some point in time, I wish you would post it on the TRIBUTES section - so that others could read it. It would mean a lot, I believe, to our veterans and their families! Think abou ti - It doesn't have to be an entry in the contest, but it is one worth keeping and sharing - The Tributes page is the perfect place if you want to avoid the contest!
THANKS for sharing it with Monty and me.
Write on, my friend - and be well proud ot his one!
Greetings from the hills of Vermont~

Review of Remiss  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
And I would be remiss if I didn't read and review this outstanding entry, Ken!
You, being a Viet Nam veteran, know full well how some of these men were treated on their return home - and those who didn't come home, finally the Viet Nam Memorial.
It didn't take away the hurt of being looked down on for their service. Those who came back remember - and so should we!
Thyank you for your entry! Well written, flows with pride and passion. An ecellent write! I will be reviewing all entries when the contest closes - until then, thanks again for an error-free poem - It's a keeper!
Write on!

Thank you for your entry in the August Senior Center Contest, Yellow!
Well written, flows in excellent form. In the next to last verse, should not the word "past" be "pass"? Take a look at it and you can still edit the poem if you agree *Smile*
We will be reviewing all entries when the contest closes on the 25th - until then, keep up the good work and write on!

Review of Promised Land  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for another great entry, Ken! I retired once, went back to work after two months - and a vacation in Alaska, went panning for gold (didn't find any) and stayed longer than planned - YOUR POEM - reminds me of how much I looked forward to retirement! Not an error noted, the poem flows beautifully, and I detect that great sense of humor you have! I like the ending - and I think we all have to "update our dreams!" WELL DONE! I will be reviewing, along with Monty, when the contest closes. In the meantime, SWEET DREAMS and WRITE ON!

Apologies for the delay in reading - YES, I have been there and done that -
my youngest daughter, Sandy, was overdue on the birth of her first baby. and the wailing from the bathroom made me dash in to see what was the matter. "I'm never going to have this baby!" she shreiked. It took awhile to calm her down and convince her that for sure the baby would be born in DUE time - Your poem is a precious memory revisited - well written, not an error noted and had me smiling throughout!
There is something to be said about parents who survive the Drama Queens! You put in words that flow naturally. well thought out and this one is surely one of your best!
Keep up the good work and write on, my friend *Smile* -

Thanks for the entry - and of course truck drivers are country through and through - singing those country songs as they drive on. Great song, easy flow and very singable *Smile* Another great write! Imagine, if we could just "rewrite the ending" in life, there are many things we might change - Sometimes that's easier said than done!
Onward and Upward - that's my motto! Good luck in the contest, tho' it sure looks like a winner to me! The photo attached to the song fits it well. I can almost hear that truck driver singing it - Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping the "twang" alive!

Review of Shaman's Trance  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Quite an interesting poem - Kind of makes me not want to meditate - to be lost in a void - However, I think the poem is very well written. I saw no errors or any way I would make a change to it. It comes on strong, and will not be easily forgotten!
You have a good style of writing and I hope to read more as you write on!
I am not sure if it is my computer acting up or if your poem started down the page -
Perhaps you left room for a picture but I saw no picture there. Hmmm - strange things happen. Keep up the good work!

Review of I LEFT  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
First, let me thank you for your SERVICE! I am very familiar with Desert Storm and the war that raged over there. Through the DAR I participated in adopting a unit and had the chance to correspond, send care packages and learn from them.
Enough of me - YOUR POEM is well written, emotional, not an error noted anywhere -
and I would like to invite you to my portfolio and have you enter this is my honoring Our Veterans Contest - and to join OUR VETERANS GROUP if you wish to. Thank you for sharing this poem - it is definietly a keeper and worthy of my respect and gratitude!
KEEP WRITING!

Review of Trail's End  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
You were right - it is a tear-jerker! A well written story, and I only spotted one error - 'He looked at this watch" instead of his watch. A minor thing. It is definietly a tale of courage - both of Emily's and the parents who struggle with the letting go - and the image brought to the story of a young girl whose last moments were filled with the love and memories of riding Goliath. As heartbreaking as it is, the story is a good one.
Oh, and I have to find my dictionary, "cacophony" does not ring any bells in my vocabulary. Good to learn new words, at my age!
Thank you for asking me to read tihs, it is a story not soon forgoten!
Write on!
