Review of The Visitors  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (4.5)
A good haunting atmosphere to this story. It certainly showed a lot of initiative making an ouija board from Scrabble letters. You also did a good job in showing the past and the future of the house, although you kept the creepy mystery aspect of the apparition.

This is a perfect description of the ideal Christmas gathering. All the family members getting together, exchanging gifts, and each and every one of them in good humor. I guess that sometimes things really do work out like that. I enjoyed the festive scene.

The first thing I thought of on reading this is Dr Seuss's 'Cat In A Hat'. That used a lot of alliteration to tell the tale. Nice simple words for children to read - once they've mastered the sounds of the alphabet this would make for an entertaining read.

Wow, well you certainly did an excellent job of capturing the drama and danger of the moment in this. What really impressed me, though was that you really seemed to know what you were writing about, but not once did I feel like I was being fed facts. Not an easy thing to accomplish.

Review of Birdcage  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (5.0)
A birdcage is something I have used in writing several times so I was really interested to read your interpretation. First off, let my say the writing was excellent. The repetition when you used it worked so well and gave the piece an almost poetic feel. I liked the way you turned it around so that the narrator was the one controlling the cage - this is not something that I often manage to do.

Haha! I'm not sure if this says more about the knave or the nun, although the way he left after having fun makes him the worst of the two. There is a good bouncy rhythm to this, like there should be in limericks, and the rhyme pattern was done perfectly.

This is surprisingly thought-provoking for its length. I've got to admit I can really relate to the confusion of feelings you show here. It's hard to differentiate between boredom and exhaustion, and it is even harder to decide that enough is enough and it's time to move on.

Review of Weird Dream  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This gives a really good insight into how parts of our past and present can become so crazily mixed up inside of a dream. I could understand why the bully would still feature, for things like that tend to have a lasting effect. Pretty gross descriptions of the knee; I liked how you used sea creatures instead of the more common insect infestations.

Review of Bardstown Mystery  
Review by hullabaloo22
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I've got to admit that I tend to shy away from writing crime mysteries myself because there are so many loose ends that have to be tied up. I think you did a great job with this one, making it all add up nicely, with a little help from Old Blue.
Nicely thought out.

Review of Journal Entry #2

This is an entry that probably would resonate with anyone that writes. We all need to take a break sometimes, and what I really liked about this was that you didn't beat yourself up over it. Up until this year I only missed about five days of writing in six years, but 2020 has been the year I've had to ease up.

This was a very interesting piece of poetry. I liked the way that you chose to make the future one far more peaceful and harmonious than the present one seems to be. Compassion and acceptance seem to be the key factors in bringing a sense of unity and peace.

I really liked the way you wrote this from the point of view of a dog. It must be really confusing when they see others being adopted, and yet when they get their turn they are soon returned. I'm really glad that you gave this tale a happy ending, especially asthe puppy liked his new name.

What a lovely piece of poetry. Ad what a considerate thing it was to lend an ear to an obviously distraught stranger. It's funny, but so often it seems easier to share grief or distress with someone you don't know but is prepared to listen. It was thoughtful of you to include the explanation of the situation too.

This was an interesting story. So, the man on the bench was death. I was really impressed with the way you showed the fight for survival at the end. Two very minor points you might want to fix: in the first paragraph you have 'now' when you want 'no'; and also you have a few instances of 'hear' when you want 'here'.
Overall, a good read!

Review of Frozen Desires

This is such a descriptive piece of poetry. My favorite lines are the ones about the dead roses and also those about the leaves crumbling to dust. Both seem to be very appropriate given the subject of the poem. And the first line does a great job of putting the reader into a winter landscape.

Haha! It pretty much seems to sum up what it is all about. We don't have anything like Thanksgiving over in Ireland so the only impressions I have of it come from what I have read. It must have been quite different this year, when big family get gatherings were discouraged.

Haha! You certainly did a good job of showing how a moment of ill-considered action can have some unfortunate consequences. Mark was obviously the more sensible and conscientious of the two. You also managed to insert a lot of humor for such a short read.

This is a very powerful piece of poetry. The repetition, where you used it, worked really well to reinforce the image of a coldness of much more than temperature. The likening the king to a rook worked very well, especially the bit about the talons that cling.
Very nice work.

Rain is something we get so much of here, but it's much preferable to frost and ice. I loved the way you described the season, especially the line about the leaves as they turn from being green. I also liked the way that you included the apples in the poem too.

What really impressed me about this poem was they way you conveyed the terror and the chaos in the first couple of verses. Those single words each with an exclamation mark made them shout out. The eighth verse is hard-hitting in it's description, but the final line is one we should all remember.

A thought-provoking piece of writing, and I agree with the points you make on many levels. Disrespect is rampant; it seems like more and more people are quite openly intolerant towards anything they disagree with. I guess this kind of touched a nerve with me.

It certainly sounds like a dream that would play on your mind. At least the fact that in the dream your mother had sisters, while in reality she doesn't, sets it apart. Perhaps the sisters represent friends. Inheritance issues can be a minefield, both within families and without.

Review of & I'm Broke  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (4.5)
Excellent presentation of this piece of poetry. The repetition of 'I'm broke' really sets the tone. It's not an easy thing to do - accept the break-up or breakdown of a relationship of any kind, and it is even harder to not hold a grudge. You do a great job of showing how we can easily become our worst enemies.

I think that was a mission that took a little piece of so many people up into space and left them all on the moon. Not being in the US, I am not actually familiar with the man, but this poem paints a picture of one who really felt as well as reported on things.

I came across this chapter in the 'Read and Review' section, and I've got to say that you gave a very good insight into a lot of the characters just in this piece. You also did a great job of showing the traumatic feelings brought about by visiting people with dementia, not knowing how they will respond.
Very well written.
