First off, what is J.D. Syndrome? Filling in the reader before or after the poem/prose would be helpful. Secondly, I thought the use of words gave a deep and meaningful picture. Sometimes the most real thing to us is the perception of effect of the unreal. For example, your mirror reflection could be seen as something akin to an inner premonition that feels more real than what logic and facts dictate.
This was an interesting read from your actual life. While the story and the telling of it does not warrant much of a rating, it is solidly told; Unlike the pump house! I found no grammar or spelling issues. Do you have more such tales from your life because this would make a great short story collection.
An interesting and fun read. What kind of prose were you using? Your descriptive word choice was absolutely amazing. I could swear that a watermelon was right in front of me! I can't wait until they are in season now. Your work gave me quite the craving!
Great poem. I always wondered how the name for a female dog ("bitch") became synonymous with cursing. We don't say someone is a mare or a nanny goat with disdain. I agree that this is nonsense and is completely contradictory as they can be and are very friendly, sweet, and kind.
This really opened up my mind and taught me a few things about the Russian-Ukrainian war. The dialogue shed a lot of interesting light between the two factions and how they viewed their own countries opposition to one another. That said it was a bit hard to follow as it was hard to tell who was speaking when.
This was an Interesting what if scenario for Yellowstone. The writing, spelling, grammer, theme, and detail were all good. The problem for me was that it rambled around on different subjects without making or settling on a point. There also didn't seem to be a story.
Pretty darn good, but also pretty darn short. For this item that's a good thing though. I thoroughly enjoyed how you carefully kept the nature of the test under wraps, revealing only a little at a time until the entirety of the situation was unveiled.
You should feel very proud of yourself. You just made a grown dragon cry! But seriously though, this was a tear shed from a mixture of beautiful prose and respectful remembrance. I always enjoy a work that honors those who have served. I give you two claws up!
I'm pretty sure I've stated this in more than one review for one of your short stories (or it might have been a different writer), but it needs more detail and meat. What did the adventurer and tribe look like? What did the valley look like? What were the tribes ways? What were the dangers encountered?
Very interesting poem. The theme is not quite to my taste, but the wording is very catchy. I do have one question though. On the very last line the last words are "I wonder why?" It doesn't make any sense to me as there is no context. She wonders why what?
Oh my goodness. That was absolutely beautiful! This world really is going down hill so reading this was very soothing. I think it's worthy of being submitted to Guideposts or maybe be a part of the "Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul" series. Just remember that God never intended Earth as a permanent residence and to paraphrase a verse, "Jesus has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us." One that will be just as good if not better than The Garden of Eden before sin.
I'm rather on the fence on this one. The poem was average. Nothing was wrong with it from a writing perspective, but I found it a tad grating for being about love based on outside looks alone. I realize that's a reader's preference, but it lends a rather sower taste for being so shallow. Just something I thought worth mentioning.
I enjoyed this prose. The message is both meaningful and very true. This is why there should be more stories about unsung heroes and random acts of kindness. A bit short for my taste though. I wish it had some more lines (about twice the current length).
This was a very interesting prose/poem. I learned a new word, but after looking it up, I'd disagree that your work falls under this because there is nothing inappropriate I see in this symbolism (and I don't mean the "naughty" kind. My Dad has been a pilot his whole life and I inherited a good portion of that interest. I believe the ideas meshed flawlessly.
I couldn't help but giggle like crazy. This was honestly one of the best nonsense poems I've ever read! The silly idea of hugging a hippo during tea time (or rather refraining from) is delightfully charming. It reminds me of a Sandra Boynton song "Teach a Hippo to Dance".
This story had me grinning from ear to ear. First, I love that song (classic country is about all I listen to aside from gospel) and I loved how you made no less than three jokes about it. Or was it four? Second, its just the right blend of humor and sweetness between the couple. Third, my hometown is San Antonio so I know how a drive through nowhere in summer can "drive" you batty (no relation to Carlsbad Caverns).
A good read. This was a nice story from your life and an unusual lesson to say the least. It must have been really hard to ride your bike if you couldn't wear jeans or shorts! I never understood why in some places in those days girls were not allowed to wear pants. It's just too darn impracticable doing anything fun when your legs cant go anywhere the dress couldn't follow. I guess farm girls were more lucky due to the necessity. I think jeans look better on women, but I'm a Texan, so I might be totally biased.
I liked this poem, although I thought it was a bit too short. I would've definitely enjoyed it more had it been longer. Out of the many poems on this topic that I run into quite frequently, this was pretty average. However, it did have some great emotional feeling.
Very interesting story. I do have a few opinions to share though. First, is this it? It feels like just a preview/opening of a much larger work. Second, I was sort of lost about the relevance of summoning all of the princess of hell. Third, hell should not be capitalized. It sounds contradictory as it is a proper noun, but look in the Bible and you won't ever find it capitalized at the beginning of the sentence. Lastly, you made a reference to Eve having eternal life. She ate from the tree of good and evil, not the tree of life. That's why she was banished, so she couldn't.
I enjoyed this as a thoughtful poem that honored those who supported and helped you in your early days here on writing.com. the rhyming and prose was pretty good. I also noticed Schnujo was on your list. He has helped me out a great deal as well. I don't think I would have stayed if it weren't for him.
Oh my goodness! Everything about this made me smile! First of I need to explain that I've been a die hard fan of Edgar Allen Poe since I first read "The Pit and the Pendulum". The title immediately told me it was about one of his works and I quickly caught on to the reference of his most famous work/poem "The Raven". Unlike most others, you didn't reword or spin off the poem, but rather made it your own in a way that it fit into the original poem while keeping to the true macabre spirit in Poe's work. It was absolutely fabulously fantastic in every way possible!
