(The remainder of these chapters is also filled with errors.)

The premise of the first chapter is highly unlikely. Is this supposed to be a fantasy, horror, or just what genre?

There are also too many cliches used.

These first two chapters have much wrong with them. One can only hope the other 49 chapters are better.

If you believe in your story, then you need to do a serious job of rewriting and improving. It might be quite rewarding for you in the end.

Greetings, Sophy ~

I'd say you met the prompt properly to write a one long sentence "stream of consciousness" type of poem. You say you don't intend to add additional punctuation to it, but why not? You already have used commas; so why not improve the reading with more well-placed commas?

of the ficus tree outside the bedroom window(,)

his wife of fifty-three years(,)
his daughters and a granddaughter(,)
his faithful Siamese cat who slept at his feet(,)

female energy keeping vigil(,)

To me, these commas would improve this poem and not detract from it.

As to the content of the poem, I found the poem quite poignant. I think the writing is excellent for this style poem.

Greetings, Lureeasygoer ~

Your Valentine poem carries its message of love well enough. However, it is filled with technical problems (spelling, grammar, no punctuation). I like the content, but the delivery is extremely flawed. Its attention to detail was too easy going.

V[e](a)lentine

Most of your lines are complete sentences, except then you have:

All through the day your words in my head

Every stanza needs reworking. You get the idea of what I think is needed from above.

I feel (somehow) I have fallen for you

Cupid(,) Cupid(,) (wherever) you are(,)

Is it even possible for your heart to be mine[ ]? This last line is the only place you use punctuation at present. [Remove the extra space]

I like this; yet I was left feeling it was somehow incomplete, needing more.

Was each line supposedly a scream? This would have been slient: The sound of the silent word she mouthed as she watched me go. Or was it all incorporated into the dying person's scream, sort of one all-encompassing scream? As it is, it left me a bit confused as to what exactly the title meant.

Greetings, WebWitch ~

This is somewhat cute, although it doesn't hang together very well. By that I mean there are several lines whose content seems out of place as though the line was concocted just for the end-rhyme. Plus I have a suggestion for you to consider for almost every line:

High upon a mount in Chile, [M](m)y spirit soars so wild(.)
There was a woman, toothless, too, who trained a little child
[H](h)ow to cast a spell so bleak[,] on some buffoonish tourist's head(,)

The man [he] danced until he fell into a sewage pit(.)
The chicken ran[,] to start a band[,] and tried a brand new skit(.)
The folks in town[,] turned up their noses[,] at the unlucky guy's situation(.)
He was a stinker, a heavy drinker, and the worst they've seen in the nation!

So(,) if you see a toothless wench with blackness in her heart(,)
[R](r)emember the chilli she tends to create [don't] just (doesn't / won't ?) make you fart!
For she has a child, who has gone wild, with his voo-doo in-can-ta-tions(.)

Your poem is quite touching and well-written overall. My main suggestion would be for you to use proper punctuation throughout and not capitalize every line, even if in mid-sentence.

I have a photo of your son today(.)
He looks just like you at fifteen(;)

I rode the one hundred miles

This illustrates how I'd suggest you rework the poem. I'll leave the last two stanzas for you to redo if you so wish.

The subject of the poem is very moving, and having the photo included makes it even better.

Review of Hotly Scored

Rated: E | (4.0)
** Image ID #1467578 Unavailable **

Greetings, Legerdemain ~

Your poem uses good imagery to convey that love can be painful (as well as being blind). The moth getting burned by a flame, yet being drawn to it works well.

I did have a few problems with the poem. If you were going for rhyming couplets, you missed the mark with all the near-rhymes. Also, in stanzas two and three you have your hand being hotly scored by the flame. Then:
With deeply diminished vital signs, >>>>> Why would scoring your hand cause "deeply diminished vital signs" ?? Confusing.
Unlearned pain I own[,](;) it’s mine.

Finally, does a hot flame "score" or does it scorch?

Greetings ~

This poem deals with a dark and evil place. Somehow it didn't quite gel for me. I could never figure out an endrhyming pattern. There were many endrhymed lines but no consistency I could decipher. Likewise, three stanzas were quatrains, but one stanza had five lines and another was a couplet. I found all this a bit disconcerting in trying to read the poem.

"where evil dwells" was used six times in the poem, which was too repetitive for me.

Some lines were confusing to me, such as these:
Where evil dwells, souls are lunch cafeteria trays.
They are nothing more than exponential decay.
>>>>> Souls are "lunch cafeteria trays"?? If so, these trays do not display "exponential decay". Were you trying to rhyme "trays" with "decay"? These are not good rhymes (trays/decay).

Semicolons instead of commas are needed as punctuation in the middle of each of the last two lines.

This poem comes across to me as one written to sound impressive at the expense of clarity. I found several lines confusing, like those cited above and these:
-- for this is where evil dwells, putrid affections swell. >>>> putrid affections swell ?? Were you going for rhyming hell, dwells, and swell?
-- Only where evil dwells with are you worth his might. >>>> worth God's might? with?

The mood of this poem was created well, but clarity and consistency were abandoned in the process in my opinion. This poem could benefit from a reworking to correct its deficiencies.

Cheers!

Review of Protect and Serve

Rated: E | (3.5)
** Image ID #1467578 Unavailable **

Greetings, Romeo-Whiskey ~

I commend the sentiment behind this piece. It is wonderful to try to salute the gallant public servant. However, I feel you took on too large a topic here and did not make it specific enough. For instance, you could have addressed specifically what being a police officer was like and then said it applied to other public servants as well. Instead of writing it as "You", it would be better as "A police officer" and then "he/she". Additionally, you may have overstated how heroic the average public servant truly is. They are as human as us civilians. (My wife's family has a sherriff, a sherriff's deputy, a police officer, and state trooper in it. They all are wonderful men but they are down to earth people, not some grandiose hero rushing without thought into danger. They are cautious and careful in doing their jobs. That is how they stay alive!)

This piece has any number of problem areas:

You race to the place w(h)ere there is a problem without a single thought. >>>> You must being thinking something! About the traffic, missing sleep, something. Maybe you meant "...without a single thought for your own safety." or some such.

greatest fear of man(,) and yet you step

invested in you by the founders that made this great country >>> Say what? More like your local authorities!

Abuse is sudden death(,) and sudden swift decisions can lead to a well(-)placed headline reading, “Hero"(,) or worse
>>>>" Abuse is sudden death" -- This is confusing. Whose death and how? Abuse may be a simple man-handling or simple beating.

you on fire(,) and the need for constant service

Always willing to respond, w(h)ere called, without [haste]. >>>> without haste means being slow, in no big hurry. You probably meant without "hesitation".

Once the devil's children are made accountable for their devilish deeds, you may rest for only a moment until the next cry for help is captured by innocent ears. >>>> Overly dramatic, puffed up writing. This sentence is then followed by a list of sentence fragments. You need a lead-in, such as "You are: " before the list begins.

Yet when it’s all finished(,) we must get ready >>>>> Switched from "you" throughout to "we" here.

How many hero's will be lost >>> heroes

The last part becomes too inclusive: soldiers, officer (what kind?), firefighter, medical personnel (all? from doctor to nurse to ambulance driver to med lab technician?), Marines,... What about Navy and Air Force and Coast Guard? This paragraph begins: "This is the life a Police Officer endures." and ends with "...thank a soldier for keeping your life free." Confusing. Are you still talking about a police officer at the end or about the Army soldier?


While I applaud your attempt here, I think this is currently quite a mess. It could be wonderful with a thoroughout overhauling, however.

Cheers!
