Haha! This was a really appropriate poem for me to stumble across, given that I seem to be having a really forgetful week. I might have been tempted to buy one of your devices if you had not given such an excellent description of the resulting overload.
A very enjoyable read!
This is very descriptive poetry, especially the first verse with the moon no longer there and the river running red. From the second verse I am thinking this is about a friendship where perhaps one wanted it to become something more than that. With the dawn there was less temptation.
I might be totally wrong on this but that was how I read this poem. Well done.
First of all, great song writing. The verses seem well composed, and the chorus works very well. As far as the words of the song themselves go - well, there are some things that cannot be forgiven or forgotten, but there still seems to be a bit of respect and affection, shown in the lines about leaving the happy memories.
Anyway, I was pretty impressed.
I think that this is a poem about pretenses and secrets; masks and acting that is backing up some kind of fallacy. Written words that are put aside and kept safely expose a truth that makes the life a lie. Maybe I'm interpreting it through my own eyes, and life and am reading it wrong, but regardless it is a very well written piece of poetry.
This was very nicely done, I really liked how you picked out the prompt words in blood red. You did a great job of showing how much girl and vampire meant to each other, even though the relationship must have been a challenging one. An extra nice touch with the pictures too!
Well this is a very cautionary and entertaining read for anyone, but especially for those that write. One best seller is out of most people's reach let alone twenty-nine. Really clever with the laptop towards the end that just kept typing away, and there's nothing quite like keeping up the family success.
Haha! What a really catchy title. To be honest, I could really do with taking your advice as I am very much in a slump right now, and that reflection in the mirror is hammering away at confidence. Reading is a great way to escape to somewhere different though.
A motivational piece of writing that brought a smile.
Ha! This seemed to sing along nicely with the tune of the song. And there's so much truth in the piece. Very few of u that have passed that fifty mark can win in a race for a cab. Running, at least as far as I'm concerned is a definite 'no' - better just to wait until the next taxi comes along.
This was a nice piece of short poetry. It said all that it needed to to create a thorough scene, especially with the material descriptions. It was a great way to use the prompt word, for anything less lavish would rarely be called a 'soiree'. The last line was an excellent way to end the poem.
This was a clever little piece of flash fiction.So I was thinking that George had come across a particularly diligent and dedicated office clerk; you soon explained that idea away. Good character interaction and nicely paced. The only thing is that I am left wondering whether George should have had access to that file.
This is an excellent piece of poetry on more than one level. Not only is it a tribute to someone who seemed to have been positively influential, but it also points out how so many cancers are not restricted to either men or women but can effect both.
Haha! A nicely captured piece of the old Irish magic here, and we certainly get a lot of rainbows. Not that I've yet seen any little green men sitting on them. I loved the humorous exchanges you put into this, and an excellent idea for an unusual pot of gold!
A lot of this piece was so relatable. The feeling of not writing well enough, of people somehow viewing you as a fraud - I go through these very same crises of confidence on a regular basis.
We do differ about prompts, in that I love writing for them, but I always have done even as a child. I also tend to get ideas late at night and I think you did a good job in deciphering why that would be.
As for unloading mental baggage... oh yes, writing can be so cathartic.
Well done for getting all this down.
What a thought-provoking piece of writing this is! And so true, too. I love the concept that the reader is helping to write the story in their own mind, and also the way you point out that reading the same piece, we might all visualize something unique.
Such an emotional and grief-filled poem. You paint a very thorough picture of someone standing there in the pouring rain, captured by memories, while life continues to pass them by in the form of umbrella-holding people. Very effective in conveying the sadness.
What a great fantasy story you have here. Straight into the action with one man being outnumbered but fighting on alone until Emicarn turned up. It brought to mind the fight in the forests of Fangorn in LOTR. Nice to see that he stayed to care for the injured man, and that they made a deal. I thought that maybe Telran turned into a crow, but you took it one step further.
Nice pacing and attention to detail. No spelling or grammar issues that I noticed.
What a beautiful tribute to all those horse out there, past and present. There really is something special about them. Like you say, galloping on horseback is pretty much as close as you can get to flying without wings. You chose a very eye-catching pic to accompany this poem.
That opening paragraph... isn't that just the truth. Nothing ever seems to run smoothly or as planned, and someone is always held accountable. I think there comes a time in everyone's life when there's been enough of other people's problems and it really is time to move on and let others shoulder the burden.
I've got to admit that I found the title of this piece of poetry very intriguing. I have to agree that as we get older life becomes so much more complicated and difficult, and it is very easy to lose the sense of who we are and what is of most importance to us.
This is a great story. Engrossing, atmospheric and such detailed descriptions. The flow of the tale, the grammar and spelling were all faultless. No wonder his Grandma had not really moved on with such vivid reminders hidden in the attic. Tom's reactions were very convincing.
I went through a lot of conflicting feelings reading this. I wanted the dog to stay with the man, there was no doubt that a bond had formed. And it's true, dogs like order and if left to themselves will stray and hunt almost anything. I finished the piece hoping that the man kept the dog, even though he really belonged to others.
A very up-lifting and inspirational piece of poetry. There certainly is a lot of truth in this for it is always easier to face the day when the sun is up there shining away. I like the way you include both fun and learning in your piece. Funnily enough, I was reading about the idea that getting up and going outside into the sun straight away can be psychologically beneficial.
I came across this in the 'read and review' section, and I've got to admit that I'm pleased that I did. There's a very surreal feel to this, especially about the feeling of being watched. You did paint a beautiful picture of the night sky. And the loneliness - easily fixed with a bit of imagination.
This was certainly a surreal piece of flash fiction. Great descriptions of the confusion and disorientation, and I've got to admit that I really loved that final paragraph. I think the strength of this is that you didn't go into explanations but left the reader to come up with their own ideas about what actually happened.
I'm so glad that I came across this poem! I have quite a collection of tarot cards, and although I don't use them for readings I loved the way you incorporated one into this. A lovely presentation, with the introduction and then the three card interpretations.
A very impressive piece!
