Review of Invisible  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)


Hi there Yellowrose!

Invisible is a beautiful piece which character was neglected, abandoned, ignored by many. Here you expressed a feeling of emptiness, as if he [the speaker on your piexe] didn't exist, he weren't there, nobody cared for him, that he was invisible. The character felt as if the world hated him that much. And yes, I too, sometimes felt the same. It's too much pain to be in such situation.

I loved the beautiful rhyming and the smooth flow of lines. The way it was presented was clean and nice. Imagery was visual.

Emotion revealed was sad and lonely.

Overall, great write! Thanks for sharing this Yellowroses! Write on!

Review of Bare

Greetings Mallory!

Welcome to writing.com!

I especially visited your portfolio to find items to read and review. And yes, I got your first write for Writing.com. After reading your piece, wow I can say that you have a blood of a great writer. This piece might be fresh in here, however, with the beauty it bears, this was like written by a pro.

Bare, being its title was a great choice. Short word of four letters but this, said it all. This provided a quick snapshot to the entire piece. This has an awesome drag, pulling readers to read on. Keep it up!

Your piece tells what a writer is. What they do, and why they write. "What's the reason for writing?" was the hidden interrogation that you carefully uncovered as your pen crafted every line of your piece. You beautifully exposed the reason behind this. You etched into our minds that writing is the writer's voice. Maybe silent, but the meaning/message/emotions we wanted to expressed are real unfathomable. We write to inspire, to utter our heart's voices, to touch everyone's heart and move them in any way. The pieces we produced are means to expressed the things we could never say. And these you expressly stated in your poem.

I found no grammatical flaw with grammars and spelling. Punctuation was properly applied. I love the rhyming of the piece except the first stanza that you failed to rhyme. Emotion was well expressed. Imagery was vivid and visual.

Overall, great write! Thank you for sharing this Mallory! Welcome and Write on!

Hi there Ida Matilda!

What is that Prompt is a humorous and sometime true. We can't ignore the fact that sometime the power of forgetfulness defeats us. Though it's just a small thing, when it's because you misplaced or forgot it, to a frantic search you would fall.

I liked the way you wrote this poem. It talked about forgetful and a prompt being forgotten was about forgetful too. That made your piece beautiful.

While I found no grammatical flaw, a typographical error was detected. On the part fist stanza, ward must be word. It matters most since it changed the thought.

All else was great, Imagery is clear.

I enjoyed my reading Ida. Thanks for sharing abd keep writing.

Hi there Scythe!

This is indeed a horrific piece with a well drawn imagery. I can see how your head fell after being ripped. What I understood with this piece was that you were afraid, frightened in the midst of darkness. You were afraid to die but death took you.

I enjoyed reading this piece though it brought me much goosebumps. Thanks for sharing! Write on!

Hi there Ink Imp!

Tumble is a beautiful poem teaching lessons to its readers. Why do I alwasys slip and fall? you asked, everybody's question. Mistakes, failure, falling back, tumbling diwn is part of life's struggle towards success, winning and fame. It doesn't mean one is too careless, negligent because of frequent failing. Instead, it's a test on how well you cope up, how you stand proud, how you move on and how strong you are to proceed and contunue the battle you once started.

I learned a lot from this piece. Thanks for sharing Ink Imp. Happy Account Anniversary and Write on!

Hi there BigGrin!

Why Smile? has the awesome charisma that drags me to read this beautiful piece. In few simple words, you perfectly defined the goodness of smiling and you emphasized how it brightens everyone's day. Smile is a gift that given for gratis. It is something that's too valuable, a precious gift to bestow yet costs you not a single centavo.

I considered this as an AABB rhyming poem and you sucessfully made it with a liquid flow. However, there seemed to be an inconsistent rhyming on the part third stanza. That is, qualities won't rhyme with leaves.

Anyway, I enjoyed my reading. Thanks for the share BigGrin! Happy Account Anniversary and Write on!

Hi there Shaara!

This is indeed fantastic! You brought me into the world of fantasy as I was reading your piece. I do agree with you, many believed that fanasyland is too far, unreal, a mind's creation. But we can find our our own fantasyland on places we feel comfortable, serene, and peaceful. Fantasyland doesn't actually mean dragons, fairies, magic and some enchanted creatures. Fantasy lives within our hearts.

I love the consistent AABB rhyme scheme. Flow is as smooth as silk. I found no flaw with grammars and punctuation and spelling. The words you carefully gathered creates a piece perfect for a read.

You are one of the talented writers Shaara. I enjoyed reading this piece. Keep writing and continue to inspire readers. Happy Account Anniversary! Write on!

Review of Missing You  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi there Bikegirl35!

Thanks for taking time to participate in The Shadows and Light Poetry Contest. Being one of the judges, I'm here, maybe obliged to read and comment on your entry for this round.

The following are merely my opinions after reading your piece. It's still up to you to pick those you think are helpful and discard those that aren't.

oOo

Missing You, being it's title is a fine choice. At a first glance on it, various pictures, thoughts and interrogations will surely crowd up the reader's mind. But that doesn't lead them to ignore your piece, rather it will drag them to read on.

Your quick and small description fired up the reader's eagerness to read. And yes, you didn't disappoint me. This made my tears fell as I read through.

The emotions revealed were sad, longing, and lonely. I felt the longings of this mother. She tried to be strong so as not to be caried away everytime she recalls her son. But she failed. She still cry, wishing that her son is on her side.

You are drawing a very clear picture. Your imagery is just awesome. I found no grammar flaws and everything flow smoothly.

Maybe this needs a little strong impact by discarding some of the excess and irrelevant words. Take my own arrangement. But not now, you'll be disqualified if you do.


When I catch a thought,
In lovely shades of blue
When I see a baby smiles
I stop and think of you.

Sometimes these shades fill the sky
And feelings bounce on clouds
While stashing each memory,
Everyday I wish for more.

Sometimes I look for answers
Because everyday I cry for you.
I ask for faith and courage
To help me get it through.

Sometimes I ask for strength,
Like a hummingbird in the wind.
Time moves oh so slow
As this journey begins.

I want to scream,
This wasn't what I'd planned!
Why you ever suffered
I can not (never) understand.

Sometimes I hear your laughter
And listen for you to play.
My son, I will always miss you
Not someday but everyday.

I tried to make the lines shorter to create stronger impact to readers. You may do it this way or keep your original piece. It's up to you.

Punctuation is a must here, so you must apply it so as not to change the thought and also will allow readers to pause or stop on lines/words that needs to pause or stop.

Overall, I enjoyed my reading. Thanks for sharing. Write on and Good luck!

Review of Never To Forget  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi there Sanita!

Never To Forget is a beautiful poem of love. This is a real manifestation of how powerful love is that despite having left behind by someone you loved most, your love for him stayed forever in your heart and forever you will cherish the beauty, the happiness he once brought to you when you're together.

You were actually dreaming of this someone you love. You were enjoying every moment full of love and romance. Yet time is fleeting and you came to wake. All the wonderful imagery you have in your mind vanished in an instant. But a feeling of love you felt was etched deep within.

I liked the piece. Rhyming is in consistent AAAA FORMAT. I found no grammatical flaw. Imagery is awesome.

Overall, great write Sanita! Thanks for sharing! Write on!

Hi there Squeekachu!

Reflections is a beautiful poem expressing your sentiments about life. Your seems hopeless, worried to what future brings. You were desperate and felt so down, weak for your fraught load, for the burden you were bearing.

I love how you give life nature and compare yourself to it. That's an excellent personification. The imagery is awesome, clear to every reader's mind. The rhyming is in perfect ABAB FORMAT. Lines smoothly flow. No found grammatical flaw, but a typo error was detected. On the second stanza, third line:

What time is it, I think I know
It's time the sun sank down below
And we as the mountains, stand high
To drown beneath this falling snow.

Do you mean, "As well as the mountains, stand high" or "And we are the mountains, stand high"?

Anyway, this is a great poem! Thanks for sharing. Write on! Happy Account Anniversary!

Nightmare is a beautiful poem that portrays your fears from the past, when you were still a child. You were haunted by the memories of your past. You did try to forget and left iy behind, still, it shows up on your dream, a nightmare. You ready yourself for death.

You subtly expressed your frightened emotion here. Imagery is fine. I found no errors in grammars. I like the smooth flow of each line. You perfectly rhyme this piece in ABAB FORMAT.

Wind blown is a beautiful poem expresses your longing for adventure. You dreamed to travel places near and far.

I love the imagery here. Evey scene is clear as bright blue skies. I can see flocked, the hills swept by cold wind, the mountain capped with snow, the dazzling stars, the golden rays of the setting sun. I love them. And I too wish to soar with you.

I love the rhyming in consistent AABB Format. I found no grammatical flaws and wrong spellings.

Hi there justanotherpoethero!

A Beautiful Day for a Wedding is a beautiful manifestation of how powerful love is. Despite the tremendous pain one may feel, he's willing to sacrifice and give up just to see her, happy on the arms of his rival. But what could true love bring? One should not feel such pain! Why is it that you need to give up instead of fighting to get what should be yours. Well, in this piece you explained to me that love is unselfish. Setting her free would be the toughest yet best decision ever made if you truly love the person.

I love the picture you have drawn. The ceremony was vivid and I can feel the mix emotions. I'm proud of the main character, the best man. He shouldn't have come nor be part of their happy moment but a lament to him. He should have run away. Instead, he dare witness their binding, see how he lost her. I liked how he managed to warn the groom.

The way you presented this piece was great. The meaning and emotions you revealed were true. I found no flaws with grammars and spelling. Title is kind of alluring. Keep it!

The content contains swearing words that I guess not suitable for most 13+ readers, therefore, a change of content rating should be done, i.e 18+

My suggestion though. Anyway, I enjoyed my reading. Thanks for the share! Write on!

Hi there Phyduex!

A Stranger's Gift is a beautiful piece giving tribute, value to the one who gave you one more chance to live. The one whom you didn't even know by chance - a complete stranger. You know what, my tears fell down as I found out what gift she bestowed on you. A gift more than special, a gift that is too hard to give, a gift that'll cost the giver's life once bequeathed. I don't know what adjective to associate with such kind of gift. It's more than precious, more than any beautiful words could ever describe. You perfectly word that this is a gift never been bestowed by any of your kin, any of your friend. And I know, right now she's happy watching over you, heeding and caring her heart.

Actually, I'm all carried away with the emotion so sincere. I can no longer pinpoint what flaws this piece has. What is important to me is how this piece moves me. I salute your stranger gifter for sacrificing her life just to give you more days to live. Take good care of her heart. Fill it with love and joys. Live yout days full of love and laughter.

Thank you for this wonderful read Phyduex! Happy Account Anniversay!

Hi there Jeffrey!

Gathering Clouds is a beautiful piece portraying the happy days of a father and a daughter together. Gathering Clouds, I recall, was one of the things, beautiful things we did with my sister. We laid on grasses, often wet, and we' both survied the entire sky with hopes to find our days formation. That time, I considered a happy times for our childhood memories. And I miss and long that very day.

I can relate to this piece so much. You are as if writing it for me*Laugh*. I love the imagery. You clearly paints the picture in my mind. I can see every detail of it. I can see how amazed, how happy his daughter is for having found that rhino head. I can see how the father resisted the pain on his back so as not to spoil his daughter's happiness. I can see them taking its perfect photo for a beautiful addition to their collection. I can hear their prayers, and I can feel the longing of the father to gather clouds again with her on the part end.

This story inspires me. You don't know how much you moved me with your words. I too, am longing to get a chance to take glance to the heaven with my sister. And I hope this will happen just one time and I'd be happy. You relive my childhood days and this brought my tears to fall.

This was a great write of pure love. Everything is perfect. I love every word of it. Thanks for sharing Jeffrey! You're awesome!

Hi there Coffeebean!

The Greedy Boy and the Professor is a piece that reflects a person in an extreme need. He didn't mind how evil he was working for as long as he get well compensated. At first, he has no knowledge- curious on what or whom the hole he's been digging is intended for. And I like that! It tickles my curiosity as well. I was thinking that the hole he dug is for the digger himself and that's what I wanted to uncover.

I read through and you slowly revealed the secret Mr. Riggs has. And then I found out that it's for his wife he murdered. I love the imagery in here. I was like a sole witness on what they're doing.

On the part end, I felt pity on the wife. I guess she's still breathing and is alive. I am eager to know what will happen next. To continue burying her or quit, never mind his pay, save the victim and report Mr. Riggs to authority.

I found no grammatical flaw. Maybe detected a single typo in here:

Questions will only lead to further inquires [inquiries] that should be left unspoken between partners in crime.”

I love the intense emotion expressed. Indeed a frighful, thought provoking piece.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi there Sarah!

So Alone is a piece describing how you felt for losing your dearest sister, especially in your times of need. I can feel your longing for her to come back. You're sad and nobody came to comfort, to lend a shoulder for you to cry on, to say it's gonna be alright. How sad you were in. I can see you crying, and that crample my heart. The essence of a true friend is especially revealed and given emphasis with this write.

I like you style of starting with some questions and then answer them on the following stanzas. Imagery is great. I found no flaws with grammar and spelling. I detected a little typo in line "No one to lend a ear". Should be "an ear". Other than this, perfect.

Overall, I enjoy my read. Thanks for sharing. Write on!

Hi there Grace!

Never Alone is a great manifestation that someone did care, someone listens and hears your every cry, someone who's there to guide youre lost and lift you up whenever you're down. And that someone is God. He never leaves nor quit on loving us, heeding us each and every single day of our lives. Even if we tried to avoid or ignore Him, still His welcoming hands are wide open for us.

Love this lyric. I'm actually making my own tune as I read through. The words are simple but meaning is deep and very true. Rhyming is just fine. Not a flaw detected in grammars and spelling.

Hi there Alexis!

A Blurred Vission is definitely a humorous piece. I was laughing throughout the entire piece. Sorry for the pity old woman, I just can't hold it *Laugh*. Anyways, this piece is based on the fact that we can never ignore. We, too will come across that stage where our sights fade, our vission get blur. We too, will tumble down even on a rough floor. I can't imagine how how merciful I would be to experience the same.

You beatifully narrated the old woman's misfortune [is misfortune the right word?] Imagery is awesome. No glaws found. Everything is great.

Hi there Jace!

This is a piece with extremely clear imagery. Every scene, every detail, the exhausted children kicking the foot ball aiming to goal, the shrieking crowds, the pelting rain, everything was just clear as crystal. I can hear the shouts, I can see them runing, kicking , tumbling, and struggling for a score, for a win.

I love the spirit -the fighting spirit those children have. They never mind the rain, the unbearable coldness. They never quit. They fight!

Everything is awesome. No flaws found. I enjoy my read here. Thanks Jace for the share. Write on!

Hi there Jeannie!

You don't know how much you moved me by your thoughts here. The. narration from the day you're still a schoolchild until now that you got a child or two was just pleasant. Every word made me recall my early years. I too, was too shy. I don't talk to much. I don't even answer when my teacher asked me a question. I was too nervous and afraid that I am wrong. Oral was my great problem then, I never excelled in that part. On the other hand, I topped first in our class. I focus more on written exams and the like. I often write poems and slogans and brought to most school contests. My write once featured on our campus bulletin and schoolpapers. I was once a campus journalist throughout my high school years. I have lots of experience, maybe small, but I learned from it.

And my thoughts on writing? Well, it's my way of expressing words I can't dare to utter.

Thanks for sharing this Piece Jeannie!

Hi there Tim Chiu!

I am reviewing randomly today, and my first haunt is yours. Well, I left nothing to but read review. The following are just my opinions and suggestions after reading your piece. If you find it useful, then take it. Otherwise, ignore.

Wearing Team Clothes has this magic pull. It lures me and tickles my curiosity. From this itself, my brain started to form thoughts behind that clothes. And that is what I need to discover.

After I read the piece, I realized how valuablue a uniform is. Be it expensive or the cheapest, the value it bears is too high, too significant. It doesn't matter how cheap that cloth maybe, but wiith the champion it dressed, it's pride is tenfold to that expensive one. Its value is hundredfolds in a way that fans too will dress the same. Its not the cloth that matters it's the bearing champion.

Review of A Ghostly Poem

Hi there MarryAnn!

This review is part of the promos we have at "Newbie Upgrade Raffle .

The following are just my opinions and suggestions formed after reading your piece. Thus, it's up to you to either take them or not.

I especially visit your port to poetry hunt. A variety of items appeared on your busy port. As I scrolled down and opened your poetry folder, A Ghostly Poem draws my attention (as if I'm hypnotized). That's how powerful your title is. The word GHOST is what tickles my interest of horror genre, thus I can't escape the haunting spell without revealing how spooky this piece might be.

What I'm looking towards horror writes is the goosebumps it brings on me, I love pieces that will make my hair stand. And this doesn't disappoints me. As I sail through, I can feel goosebumps as my mind imagine the things you narrated.

I loved every detail, every scene of it. Imagery is too clear. Grammars, punctuation, spelling - all perfect. I can feel the extra care the mother gave to these two child ghost. She's brave enough to heed them as one of her family members, as one (or two) of her children. Inatead of living, the stayed on this haunted house living as happy big family with six children (including two ghost).

I left with nothing to suggest but keep it the way it is. This is a great write worthy for the awardicon it bears. A five star rating won't suffice to prove how excellent this is but maybe a hundred of them. I enjoyed reading this creepy piece you've shared. Thanks MarryAnn. Keep writing!

Gervic
