My impressions of:"The Gold Rush" byJeff is Gru in #2343485

Is the structure and format easy for the reader?Nice structure that does make it easy for the reader.
Is the dialog appropriate for the speaker?Good dialog.
My favorite line:---“I don’t have any doubt that if this plan fails, someone will need to be blamed for it. That’s precisely why I didn’t tell you about the plan until it was already in action.

Written in the Anapestic Tetrameter form.
Anapestic Tetrameter is a poetic meter that has four anapastic metrical feet per line. Each foot has two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. It is sometimes referred to as "reverse dactyl", and shares the rapid driving pace of the dactyl.

My favorite line:
My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions:A good opening that introduce the characters and prepare us to go dragon hunting.
Good descriptions that helped to take the reader right into this dragon hunt. A little confused about brother Drew and why he's even mentioned since he don't do nothing.
Well written and a very creative storyline that describes this dragon adventure well. A mild ending that seems to be more in the middle of the story.
Miya thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.
Suggestions: A good re read and edit never hurts. The pronoun I is inconsistent. Consider a larger font size and maybe breaking up the longer sections with more banks lines. This will make it a little easier for the reader and more inviting to a browser or potential reader.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: "I remember" is a well worded free verse poem with short emotional stanzas that I feel most readers will relate to. Strong stanzas yet shorter enough that the reader can use their imagination.
Traditional reverse is a somewhat paradoxical phrase, as free verse is non-traditional poetry that abandons strict rules like meter and rhyme to follow the natural rhythm of speech. Instead of rigid structure, free verse relies on intentional line breaks, imaginary, and repetitive to create its form and meaning, allowing for flexibility and experimental expression while retaining poetic identity through its use of devices like enjambment and parallelism.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: I see the image of a mother like figure that has recently passed on to another reality.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: I can find nothing at all wrong with the mechanics of this traditional free verse work.
Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter: Well written and entertaining haikus. I think I like the first one the best. --- "The October sun –
rays of white light on green leaves,
autumn winds linger."---
Haiku definition - a Japanese poem of 17 syllables, in three lines of five, 7, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Grammar, Spelling and Mechanics: No problems that I can find with these well written haikus

Form, Format, Rhyme and Meter:A delightful Rearranged form twenty-eight line poem.
Rearranged is a most entertaining 'coming of age' classic work of art. ---" Don't worry 'bout your mind – you're not deranged.
Nothing is new – it's just rearranged!"---
Each stanza is worded in stone, while telling its on stand alone tale. A great entry for the "Grumpy's Short-Lived Poetry Contest" with the prompt being 'humor'. Surely this classic poem won the contest.
The definition for quatrain is - a stanza of four lines, especially one having alternate rhymes. This had this reviewer's mind in a spin for quite a while.
Artistic Voice and Imagery: Gazing at Time's mighty river I see the image of a soul surfing threw the waves while being tossed back and forth between future past and present.
HuntersMoon thank you for sharing this awesome poem.

I hope you will find this feedback helpful.
My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: A well laid out and written safety oriented style of article.
This article reminds me of the safety articles that many times are mandatory at certain workplaces. To my recollection they are mostly early in the morning when ever one is half asleep, they're quick and then you have to sign a paper saying that you know how to climb a ladder safely now.
Well laid out covering several different subjects in a short descriptive businesslike safety oriented manner.
Starmix thank you for sharing this work it has been a joy to read it.

My two cents is only one opinion. Overall impressions: The Zeroth World touches on memories and emotions that are buried in the deepest parts of our subconscious minds. That very part between real and dream that hides our previous lives from our current memories in our mind.
A powerful story that just begins to scratch the surface of the deepest part of our minds that is forbidden for us to search or remember. The human mind has deep confused memories that only a few dare to try opening up.
