Review of The Pull

I really like the simplicity of this poem, and the possibilities it shows for a relationship to develop. The first two verses seem to show that the attraction is a mutual one, but it is the final one that is my favorite. It's a trap so many fall into when they fail to remove those masks.

I came across this chapter in the 'Read and Review' section, and I've got to say it was very good. I liked the way you used 'plasm' instead of demon; it definitely has a more supernatural feel to it. Good character interactions, especially between Edna and Chloe.

Oh, you did a great job with this. A world without coffee, well it just wouldn't be right. You did an excellent job of describing the withdrawal symptoms, the frantic search to find just one bean. But what really made me smile was the dog's name; fantastic!

Well, this was a really emotional read. I have to say that I can relate to Angel, for I felt similar back when I was at school. I loved the way you included the lyrics, and you did a fantastic job in making Angel a very convincing character as she struggled to find a way through the days.

This was a very clever piece of poetry using the acrostic form. This is actually a form that I find quite challenging, but here you made it seem natural. Not only did you compose a poem that was pleasant to read, but you sprinkled quite a few facts in it too.

I really enjoyed reading this and can see why it won. There's definitely a bit of questionable magic in this, but a lot of humor too. I especially enjoyed the part about wings and salad, and not practicing magic on an empty stomach. And what a great mixture of ingredients for that spell!

So very true! I can't understand where the idea comes from really, perhaps from way back in history when there was the need to fight to protect. I suspect though that the women would have played their part in such fights too. The final couplet was a great way to end the poem.

Haha! I'm reading this in Co Cork this afternoon! You did a great job of installing a drop of the Irish humor in this poem. I had excellent images of the man running around in those too big shoes.
One slight error, the middle line of the second verse - 'that were two sizes too big...
Anyway, this made for a very enjoyable read.

This was a nice well-rounded piece of flash fiction. It just goes to show that no matter how much preparation you put into lining up a perfect shot, something nearly always goes wrong. You did a great job of naturally inserting those prompt words too.
Very enjoyable.

Wow! Well this was one impressive piece of writing. Not only did you manage to follow the ABC... pattern at the start of each sentence, but you did it so naturally. This story made for a pleasant read in itself; the sequential use of alphabet just made it that bit better.

Review of Restricting  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (3.5)
This is a short piece of poetry that carries a pretty big message. We are certainly more than capable of holding ourselves back from reaching our potential, and I think that is the main message here. The last line almost dares the reader to go just that bit further. I think you could do with a full stop at the end of the second line to really drive the point home.

Review of Concept

This poem really tells it like it so often is. A lot of people will claim not to be racist because they like or support those that you pick out - those that are in some way successful. Intolerance is still rife on the day-to-day level, but not only based on skin color.
A well-written and thought-provoking poem.

This poem, and the day that is its theme, is a perfect example of commercialism gone crazy. Once upon a time, February 14 was a day for swapping cards, or maybe a written verse, but now the stores are bursting with ways to show how much love someone feels towards their loved one.
I share your cynical view.

This was a very well-crafted piece of poetry. A mutual attraction, it would seem, between two colleagues in the workplace. You do a great job in showing the respect that remains between the two both realizing that their professional work is not worth the risk of taking things any further.

Review of Criminal Action

Haha! This was a gorgeous tale, very entertainingly told. I did kind of guess who the criminals might be, especially once you mentioned the roast that was so tantalizingly sitting there. My favorite moment was when the cat sprang into action - you did a thoroughly convincing job of describing the chaos a feline can cause.
Very enjoyable!

This is certainly a thought-provoking piece of poetry. I guess that whenever there are polar opposites in candidates this very scene you have painted is impossible to avoid, especially when the results are so close. I loved the way you presented the conclusion in three short lines.

Oh, this was really heartbreaking to read. So much love and devotion, so many shared experiences, plans for the future stolen by the cruelty of dementia. The short lines that described the beast and the suffering were so powerful. It was almost too personal to read comfortably, but your words were certainly chosen with the greatest of care.

This reads like quite an inspirational piece of writing. You start from the beginning, a child dependent on parents and move on from there. I like the way you talk about both 'sweet and bitter' experiences giving lessons along the way. A nice idea to write such a piece on your birthday.

Review of Runescape

Some excellent imagery of that place you called Runescape. It certainly sounded somewhere very bleak and desolate, with nothing and no one else there. I liked the way you used the occasional rhyming line - this is something that I honestly think strengthens a poem written in free verse.

What a great tribute of a poem. I used to watch Star Trek, but have to admit that I've not seen it for years. I loved the way you included so many facts about this series while still maintaining a strong rhythm and rhyme scheme. You certainly turned that TV series into an entertaining poem.

I found this a really interesting article to read. Very well presented and you clearly put a lot of thought into each question and answer. I am atheist myself, but believe in tolerance and respect for the beliefs of others. This was actually a discussion that I was involved in about a year ago. This would have helped me in getting my own point across.

Review of Icarus

This is an excellent poem. It's not easy to walk away, but the penultimate verse showed how essential that was. It definitely sounded like the relationship had soured into a competition. My favorite part had to be the use of Icarus flying up and sooner or later crashing down.

A poem that illustrates some good that can come from rain - I certainly get to see quite a few of those rainbows here. Of all the verses I think the second is my favorite; it is one of the more visible of the laws that govern nature.
Great rhyming and a good basic rhythm to the read.

Hmm, this was quite an interesting piece to read, although I'd say you have picked up on communication issues that trouble both men and women. I liked the way you set this out, with the introduction, followed by the points then the hypothetical conversation. Human interactions, as you show, really are a bit of a minefield to navigate.

This is such a lovely piece of poetry in praise of what should be a special connection between mother and child. There has been a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that a newborn will instantly recognize the voice of its mother, and that was what this brought to my mind.
