Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: First of all I love the title, it invokes magic. I liked the poem and the descriptive words therein. It was lovely.
Form of Poem: This was a semi-rhyming poem but did not have a standard meter. Verse 1 & 2 rhymed the 2nd and 3rd lines. Verse 3 rhymed lines 2 and 4. The 4th verse stood alone. It was still beautiful.

Verse 2: 9. 9, 9, 8
Verse 3: 9, 9, 9, 9
Verse 4: 9, 10. 10, 10

Overall Impression: I like this story. It was a glimpse into a world most of us know nothing about with all its glamour and excitement. At what cost though? Some get so hooked on drugs and power that you wonder why they want this kind of life. That's why we are all different, I suppose.
Plot/Characters: A woman talking about life with a band member.
Dialogue: I found no errors.
Grammar/Spelling: I only found 1 little thing:
1) a acoustic (an)
Suggestions: Keep sending in your stuff. I enjoyed the story!

Overall Impression: Absolutely! A resounding YES, to continuing with this story.

Quaint, imaginative, interesting......more please.

Dialogue: None present.
Grammar/Spelling: I questioned a couple of things:
1) her self (I thought this should be one word)
2) in to (I also thought this should be one word)

Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: I thought this was very well written. It started with a descriptive verse of the box then transitioned to the wonderment of opening it. The poem slowly built up the curiosity that could hardly be contained and then the submission of finally opening it. Aren't we all faced with a choice like that sometime in our life.
Form of Poem: Free form.
Grammar/Spelling: I found no errors.
What I liked most: The way the poem built up the suspense.
Errors found: None.
Suggestions: Keep submitting. You kept my interet throughout.

Overall Impression: This is a story of judgment and how we often judge someone without knowing much about them at all. Here, we have a Vietnam veteran who most likely went through some horror in the war and found it hard to re-enter society. Children, can be bullies without realizing what they are doing. This poor man was a hero after all.
Plot/Characters: A group of children and a Vietnam Vet known as Sideburns.
Dialogue: I found no errors.
Grammar/Spelling: I found no errors.
Suggestions: Keep submitting. I found the story interesting.

Overall Impression: Thank you for posting the Prompt. It helps to review. I think you did a wonderful with the prompts you were given. This story begs for more; you could do a lot with this. I can see an old clockmaker with a beard (someone like Geppetto in Pinocchio) in his shop guarding them. Maybe one has a secret? Maybe they are magic?
Plot/Characters: An unknown person with a watch and a key. Oops, the key is gone! Oh no!
Dialogue: There was none.
Grammar/Spelling: I found no errors.

Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: This was about an experience with death that most of us will experence one day. Sometimes a bad dream can lead to us thinking we were near death, but it was just a dream. I wasn't sure which it was in this verse.
Form of Poem: Not sure. Most of the verses rhymed on the 2nd and 5th lines but it varied on the verse: Death never scared - this rhymed on the 1st and 5th verse. Verse no one knows had 4 lines; the rest had 5. I felt the meter was off and the poem didn't flow well.
Grammar/Spelling: I found no errors.
What I liked most: The writer had a good plot and imagination.
Errors found: None.
Suggestions: It is my preference not to have all of the lines bolded; to me that distracts from the overall poem but that is just my opinion. Keep sending more writing!

Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: This is a poem recognizing our heroes out there. I don't think that theme can be overstated as these people put their lives on the line each and every day for others.
Form of Poem: I couldn't come up with a type of poem or a distinct meter. To me, this was a free verse without rhyming or meter.
Grammar/Spelling: I did not find any errors.
What I liked most: The theme.
Errors found: None.
Suggestions: From your comments it sounded like you were not entirely happy with this verse. I think your heart was in the right place and the sentiment was there. For me, I had trouble with the flow and meter of the poem but I liked the tribute to the heros.

Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: I like the story behind this poem. The writing is bringing a person from hopelessness into the light. They are showing them that they are worth more than they think they are. Letting this person know that they do not have to be the best but do the best they can. It is a story of hope.
Form of Poem: That I am not sure of. There was no particular rhyming pattern that I could figure out nor likewise a meter. That being said, it did not distract from the message.
Grammar/Spelling: I did not find any errors.
What I liked most: The positivity of the verse.
Errors found: None.
Suggestions: In my opinion, I prefer to read something that is not all bolded To me it is distracting. The bolded type did not take away from the message the writer was trying to impress on the person. This writer shows a lot of emotion.

Overall Impression: Very imaginative story. Is this a screenplay? I ask because I see it is referred to as an Act. Appears that Adrian has stumbled into something unworldly and finds an old friend or acquaintance there. The friend has turned into something different but still tries to help Adrian escape.
Grammar/Spelling: I found a couple of things to point out.
1) the massive metal door in our had its valve. (needs a word after 'our')
2) Am I sure that is him? (not sure on this but can you start a sentence with the word "am"?)
Suggestions: Good plot, interesting story.

Overall Impression: I liked the 1st paragraph. All too familiar story of being trapped on the interstate but you created a mystery with the constant phone calls.

Overall Impression/Emotional Impact: A sad little poem but so true. I always wonder if it's harder on the patient or the loved one. So many spend endless hours beside a victim, and it drains their energy because the patient cannot even respond to the loved one. Maybe somewhere inside they do and we just don't know that. One can hope.
