Review of Kindred Thoughts  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (5.0)
This certainly looks like a pretty challenging poetry form to write in. Very effective use of descriptions: I particularly liked the way you brought in so many colors, and also the smoke and the steam of the second verse. Honestly, this was a very impressive piece of writing.

Review of The Special Song  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (4.5)
There was a nice flow to this conversational story, good pacing of the backwards and forwards that makes up real life dialogue. Although you don't actually specify what was wrong with the song, you give some hints, which worked well.
There were a couple of places where I felt like maybe you could have done with a full stop rather than a comma, but overall I enjoyed this very much.

Short and snappy lines that go very well with the subject of the poem. I certainly cannot argue with the fact that if you get a win you're better off settling for that rather than trying to increase it. That final, cautionary verse is definitely my favorite, although the image of whittling bones is a good one too.

This is great! And is it really true? If it is, well done to you, Jay. I've got to admit that it is pretty hard to picture 'A Christmas Carol' as a ballet, so I hope it worked out well. This sort of thing has been sorely missed this year, I think, for shows are an integral part of so many people's Christmas celebrations.

You certainly did an excellent job of incorporating a lot of Gothic images in this poem. There is an increasingly threatening atmosphere as the verses progress until that final jolt of awakening from a nightmare. The short line length really suited this.

Review of Winter Blooming

This is a lovely piece of poetry, concentrating on the pleasanter aspects of the winter season. Fall is my favorite, but winter comes a close second. I like the way you use the poem to show that some of us are at our best when the daylight is at its shortest.

Review of Crystalline

There is something that is both chilling and at the same time strangely beautiful about this poem. there are some excellent uses of alliteration in this, such as the first and third line of the third verse. 'Shimmering and soft, fierce and singing...' sums this up so well.

This is a very interesting piece of poetry. The descriptions in the second verse are a great way of painting a picture of hopelessness; the third and fourth verses give a good indication of the cause. The final two verses seem to turn it around, bringing determination and defiance to succeed against all odds.

The feelings you express here are very relatable for me, and I am far from being a teenager. Those first two lines of the first paragraph show how hard it is to be able to put thoughts and emotions into words. The later paragraph does an excellent job of showing how those emotions can come flooding in, seemingly out of control.
A lot said in a few words.

Well, what can I say! This was a great opening chapter that opened with some excellent descriptions of the river and the people that lived nearby. The dragon sounded like a magnificent beast as she woke for her night-time dance. Those short sentences you finished with made for a real cliff-hanger of an ending.
I didn't notice any distracting typos or mistakes.
Well done!

This is a piece of writing that brought a smile from me, even if it was a kind of ironic one. Where I live it is just like that - everyone knows almost everyone else, and it is hard to keep up with who is related to whom. It does have its good points, but it is hard for me to feel like I belong.
Nicely written, to give a pleasant read.

Wow, well this was a very moving read. I thought you did an excellent job of describing the scarecrow and how time had taken its toll on it. Comparing Samuel to Thomas was far more effective, I felt, than simply describing the old man. I have to admit I was dreading how you might end the story, but you did so in a way that brought a sigh of relief.

What a fantastic birthday experience you created in this story. I can't imagine how one could ever surpass it. That Lena was nervous you made very clear, as well as why she felt that way, but everything seemed to resolve itself and prove those worries to be groundless.
Lovely work.

Wow, I really enjoyed this read. You built two really well developed characters with Arlynn and Ryan. Sometimes I guess you just need a bit of space and a moment alone to get to grips with the priorities. I liked how you showed the love was a mutual thing rather than being in any way one-sided.

Review of Showing my Heart

You know what? This is just SO relatable! I had to smile at the fourth verse, especially, as lately I have found myself going more and more back to how I used to be. I don't think my interests have changed much since I was fourteen. I'm one of those eternal misfits, and can very much understand the desire for friendship, and also the uncertainty of letting true feelings show.
Excellent work.

Hmm, I'm not sure it can ever be a good thing having one person in charge of so many departments, and in control of so much financing. No matter how diligent they are, personal reasons are bound to come into play. Nicely written and more than a little believable.

Ha! Brilliant! I've got to admit that personally I'm not bothered by spiders at all, but everyone else in my family seem to be reduced to quivering wrecks at the sight of them. They do always seem to pick the perfect moment to appear - at least as far as their ability to shock goes.
A very enjoyable read.

This poem does an excellent job of showing how nature can be a really calming influence. The river, the trees and the flight of an eagle each play a part in painting a tranquil picture. Unfortunately, that last verse always seems to prove to be true, when real life destroys that picture.
Very nice.

Quite a tricky selection of words to combine in any poem, but you managed it in fine style using just four lines. Your poem certainly sums up how it should be, with a punishment that is made to fit the crime committed. Such a shame it rarely works out like that in real life.

I love the idea of being able to feel as though you really could reach for the stars and even maybe touch a few. But at the same time, this poem seems to keep itself grounded as well. Some excellent descriptions especially the swooping and swirling above the high rise windows.
Very nice.

A nicely composed micro-fiction tale where you made each word count. A bit sad to begin with, with the walnut tree being chopped down, but you turned it around nicely having the son sleep in what was made from its wood, just as he had done in the tree house.

I really enjoyed this piece of writing and the special attention you paid to all sorts of sounds. There was the sensation of touch too, especially when Tomer decided he did not like the itchiness of his sweater, only later to wish that he'd put up with the discomfort.
Well done.

This was very well written, and extremely interesting to me on a personal level too. I left school with no qualifications, and in spite of starting three college courses I have only gained the very basic of English qualifications.
I, too, am a slow reader. I read because I love reading, and I do not want to rush it.
All my life I have struggled with mental health issues, especially depression. My two sons, now in their twenties, have been diagnosed with ASD and I have been told that I am certainly autistic too. I have not gone through the diagnosis process simply because it is too late. The waiting list for assessments is full up for years as in Ireland there are only a couple of people qualified to make the diagnosis.

This was quite a thought-provoking piece of writing. There are so many different processes that the food we eat can go through without us knowing. I think one thing we are all beginning to see the effect of is the use of growth hormones. The average heights seem to have shot up.
The problem with enforced labeling is that the food companies can do it in such a way that the average consumer would have no chance of understanding.
Anyway, you made your points both clearly and concisely. Well done.
