What I really sad story, and a terrible thing to happen on the very first day of school.
I had no idea where you were going to take this, although perhaps the flowers should have given me a clue. I can still remember my daughter's first day of school and you caught their excitement at the prospect perfectly.
Very well written.

Review of Down But Not Out  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a great poem about resilience, I think. It can be taken just as well describing a physical fight or a mental struggle. Both can deliver a thorough beating and sometimes it gets so tempting to stay down and shout 'Enough'. I guess there's a little streak of defiance that comes along and whispers, 'Not yet!'
This actually had a lot of personal meaning to me, and I found the poem very relatable.

Review of Darkness wins

Depression is something that very few people can understand, and even if they have experienced it, the variations in how it effects someone are so great. You do a great job of showing how totally alone it makes one feel, and that giving up can seem the easiest choice to take.
Well done in expressing this.

Review of Sudden Change

This is a really appropriate poem to come across this year, for so many of us have had to adjust to a very big change, and there's no telling yet how much of it will remain the 'new normal'. I loved the description likening it to Frankenstein - very fitting.

Review of Tired

Rated: ASR | (5.0)
This is so personally relatable to me on so many days. Life is something that continually tends to wear me down to the exhausted levels expressed here. The most relatable line for me is the one about wasting space in a world never belonged to; it perfectly describes the 'outside, looking in' feeling.

Review of Beware the Dream  
Review by hullabaloo22
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I really like the way you have composed this piece with warnings about heeding dreams and how they can be so misleading. However, from the final word it's more a warning of taking care rather than ignoring them completely. My favorite line is 'Beguiled by the multitude of choice', for our lives are filled with the necessity of making decisions.

Ha! This really is a brilliant take on both the song and the music video. All those contradictory feelings that bounce around, especially when the emotion we call love comes in to play. There's definitely more of a manic feel to this, with just a hint of depression.
Love it!

Review of Moving On

This was a story very well done. You did an excellent job of describing what happened to Jim that night, never realizing the seriousness of what he was feeling. I also really enjoyed your descriptions of his his disconnection; and I guess it was his defiance that brought him back to life.
Well done.

Review of Revolving Doors

This poem is both emotional and strong, showing vulnerability and defiance. From the words it sounds as though the man wanted someone subservient and dependent rather than a partner. This is all too common, I think, but fewer women will settle for it now. I love that final verse.

This is a lovely poetic tribute to one that sounds like she was a remarkable woman. She certainly made a very strong impression about the value of love and kindness. My favorite lines were about her smile being a 'beacon through good times and bad'.

This was really quite a creepy little tale with the voices coming from the fog that only Rhea would admit to hearing. I guess that Jonah had heard them both times as he acted in the way that he did and gave his wife over to whoever was there. You did a great job of telling the tale.

You certainly make a good argument for the study of genealogy. And I am very impressed with the amount of research you went on to put into your finding, bringing a previously unknown relative almost back to life. I had to smile at your point about 'theater of war'; it really does not do the reality justice.
Fantastic work!

You did an excellent job in misdirecting your reader in this short tale. From the descriptions of the solitude-seeking, and especially with the mention of perhaps having to move again, I was definitely expecting your narrator to be an adult. Nice work.

Review of Blind Date

Haha! At the start it really did seem like you were about to tell a regular blind date tale, but from about half way through you began to drop hints and I had it figured out before the reveal. Nicely told with some good character details and only one tiny typo that I noticed: fifth line down you could ditch the first 'her'.

Wow, well that was a really intense read. Right from the start when you talked of the sense of foreboding, you had this reader gripped and wanting to know what happened next. Brilliant pacing, especially towards the end when Gabe has found the bomb. Definitely five stars from me.

This really was such a well-written piece of writing. Not one spelling mistake or grammar error to stop the read from flowing. You brought your character to life, especially in the first half of the piece. Beautifully descriptive of the setting as well.

This was excellent... and what a fantastic name to give to your creepy character. You managed to keep up a pretty steady rhythm as you told of the monster that lurks under the bed until the lights go off. You came up with some excellent rhymes too. My only disappointment is that I did not come across this on Halloween.

This made for a really good read, and it certainly sounds like it was describing one really crazy road trip. Two parts stood out in particular to me as exceptionally well done; the discovery of Kevin's deafness, and the moment when the police pulled the car over.
A really great and diverse bunch of characters.

Review of I Didn't Expect

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a beautifully composed piece of poetry that is extremely thought-provoking, and somewhat relatable too. I don't think any of us, when we are younger, expect to grow old and yet so often it suddenly creeps up and catches us out. The repetition at the start of each verse really suits the poem.

Review of The door opened.

Ha! Well, I honestly think it was a shame that I didn't come across this poem yesterday. There is a definite creepiness to it, with the knock on the door and no one being there.
Your last line definitely leaves itself open to a variety of interpretations.
I really enjoyed this short read.

A nicely done acrostic poem that does a good job of bringing the rosebuds to life. The thing about the buds, I guess, is they are so often surrounded by roses in bloom too. I liked the way you brought my attention to the colors and to the scent. Bittersweet? Yes, they definitely are.

I really liked this poetic contemplation on the passing of time. Personally, I'm not sure about it speeding up with age - but it's definitely something that changes with whatever a person is going through. There's more than a little bit of truth in the saying about time flying when you're having fun.
A very enjoyable read!

It's not often that I come across a steampunk short story so I was quite interested to read this one. You did a good job setting the scene, with the mention of springs and steam engines, and I loved the name Dr Plumpocket.
One thing I'm not sure about is the spelling of 'gate' in the final paragraph. In UK English it would be 'gait' but I don't know about the US spelling.
Anyway, it was really enjoyable to read.

Review of True Friends

Rated: E | (5.0)
Oh, aren't those last two lines so true. It is very difficult to find a really true friend; someone that you can trust completely and who trusts you back. There are plenty of people out there who will appear friendly, only to show their true colors later.
A very well-composed piece of poetry.

Review of Lesson One - DT

This was a lovely and entertaining read on the importance of commas. English is my first language but I'm pretty ignorant about all the grammar rules. I do read a lot though, always have done, and I find reading a paragraph aloud does wonders for comma placement. It's not always right, but mostly.
