It is a beautiful poem.

Hi Khalish, I have been reading
WHEN THE PATH IS LOST: haikus--Ed-pick  (E)
When it’s dark, look inward; you will be taken forward.
#1462657 by Dr M C Gupta


I love haikus and good ones have the ability to say so much in such a few syllables. These are beautiful and inspirational.
There is nothing I would alter, I see no way to improve them, they are perfect.

What a delightful essay and I love the picture that goes with it. You obviously love cats very much and it shows.
I like the way you introduced a piece about the history of cats, it made reading both entertaining and informational.

Your story touched my heart. Abuse is something that is happening all too often and no matter how we try, it is impossible to imagine what it it must be like for sufferers. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us; I wish you well.

Hi JudyB I have been reading
Something to Think About  (13+)
Sometimes we make parenting too difficult
#1284373 by JudyB


What great words of wisdom.
Instead of wasting energy, losing sleep and worrying about how John, or Susan, or Melissa "thinks", far more importantly, we need to ACCEPT them for who they are and work with the "positives" that they do possess.

This is so true. Your item is succinct, knowledgeable and to the point! It certainly does give one 'Something to Think About'

The content of this short story was excellent. I was hooked from the beginning. The plot was good and by the time I reached the end you had me paranoid about using the net. *Smile*
I noted no mechanical errors. It was a great read.

#1392852 by Devil's Delight-Cherry


I love haiku. It is not easy trying to say something in just seventeen syllables but you have managed it very well.
Number five only has six syllables in the last line but apart from that they are all well done especially as they are your first attempt. I enjoyed reading them.

Hi godspeed I came back to read
 Odd Sock  (E)
Just for fun
#1457285 by godspeed


I love the humour in your poem. It's the eternal mystery isn't it? "Darling, where's the sock to match this one?" For the past two years (due to problems) my husband has only been able to wear a sock on one foot, sheer bliss. No matching up to do *Smile*. Now he's back to wearing two and we're back to the "darling......" again. Oh well! I loved your poem.

Welcome to WDC. Im sure you're going to enjoy it here.
Your poem is so full of all the fun of the fair *Smile* I enjoyed reading it.
I loved the verses where you used internal rhyme as well as end rhyme, they helped the poem to flow. Verse five was my favourite! I'll be back to read more.

#1432754 by Roari ∞


I love a swashbuckling story *Smile* I really think that your idea of expanding this one is the way to go. There are so many things happening that a short story cannot do justice to your ideas. There is so much scope for expansion here.
Just a though that crossed my mind - if I was on my third pint you would be picking me up from under the table! *Bigsmile*

I love haiku and these are good. They would stand alone quite well but together they make a delightful chain haiku. If I were pressed for a choice then I think the last one one would be my favourite. A lovely start to your portfolio.

First let me say 'Welcome to WDC'. It's a wonderful place and I'm sure you'll enjoy being here.
Now to your first posting. A short poem but it spoke volumes. A good poem doesn't always need lots of verses, all it needs is something to say.
Your rhyme was good and I noticed no outstanding errors. A good start, I look forward to reading more.

What a wonderful dream you have related to us. It's impact was all the more so because I have just been watching a video (sent to me by a friend in the USA) all about I.B.C. and how little we ordinary folk know about it or how to recognise it. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

What a wonderful way to display patriotism. I only wish there was more of it in Britain. We should all be proud of our National Flag not afraid to display it in case it causes offence!
I loved your poem, it is so descriptive it speaks volumes and will always be relevent.

Hi lidi
I have been reading
 Through An Angel's Eyes  (E)
We share what we see when angels arrive. My writing is through the eyes of an angel.
#1432618 by lidi


I love the idea behind your poem, it holds a message for all of us.

Any comments I make are meant purely as helpful suggestions and whether you use them or not is entirely your choice.

I would always capitalise 'His' and 'Master' when referring to Christ or God.

Although there was no set syllabic pattern the poem flowed well although I did find the first two lines slightly awkward.

I think it was the second line that threw me....

his grand design leaves one astound.

It feels as if you chopped it down to rhyme with 'around.'

I played around with it some and came up with the following. See what you think.

I see majestic beauty where 'ere I gaze
His grand design does one amaze


It keeps the meaning without forcing the rhyme or you could simply change 'leaves' to 'does' as that works well too.

Whatever, as I said at the beginning your poem has beautiful sentiments and I enjoyed reading and reviewing it.
