Review of Ludia's Shortcut  
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Hi very thankful This is a review on behalf of "Showering Acts of Joy Group


*Reading* This was a cute story. You really did an awesome job writing a tale with a distinct beginning, middle and end, in such a short amount of space! *Shock*

*Balloon2* There's a reason when Momma and Daddy tells you not to do something! And we find out quickly why Ludia's mom and dad, told her to stay off of the old dirt road.

*Flower2* You also did a good job, keeping the narrative in her seven-year-old voice.

*Thumbsup* NICE JOB *Smile*

Review of Over The Ocean  
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hi Jellyfish-Vote Green on May 2! This is a Review on behalf of "Showering Acts of Joy Group

*Reading* Wow! As one who has suffered from depression, on and off throughout my life - your poem was very meaningful and full of depth. Your words were so powerful. I truly connected.

*Note1* I believe ending each stanza with the same line was a perfect choice for this poem. It added a dimension of eeriness, in which the reader envisions one sailing over the ocean - going up and down over the waves, enables the reader to give more empathy to the words in the lines before.

*Note2* This poem is meant to be read and reread. So much meaning can be found in its words. They're haunting.

*Flower3* Though it's hard to do - I believe this is my favorite verse:


Those are the endless
Questions I asked
And all the pointless
Unfulfilled tasks;
Look at the face
With the broken mask
As I sail away over the ocean.


*Thumbsup* Excellent Writing! Thank you for sharing! *Heart*

*Reading* *Laugh* Love the ending - and what a perfect title, definitely fits the story! The writer lets you know right away, that the main characters of the story are not nice creatures. They're not the ones you'll be rooting for, as they beam down onto yet another planet to steal other lives for slavery. When they beam down onto the planet in the story, you know something different is going to happen - but when it does, if it definitely takes you by surprise - as there definitely is Unexpected Consequences!

*Thumbsup* NICELY DONE! *Bigsmile*

Review of INTO THE BONEYARD  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
*Reading* This writing took me by surprise a bit. I don't want to give a spoiler alert - but I'll just say as I read the beginning, I anticipated a different ending. *Wink* It held a bit of creepiness, while painting a picture of what was going on with them and around them. This was another story, where the reader wants to scream out loud to the person - but knowing they won't listen! *Laugh* I enjoyed your writing.

*Thumbsup* WRITE ON! *Bigsmile*

*Reading* The writer was able to get a lot of story in few words. As I read the story, I kept anticipating - knowing that something was fixing to happen. The writer built up to the climax slowly - giving us vivid pictures of what was happening and going on around the girl at all times! The ending did not disappoint. I wanted to scream to the little girl not to do it - but of course, she wouldn't listen! *Laugh* I enjoyed the story - it left me wanting more! *Smile*

*Thumbsup* GREAT JOB!

*Reading* Wow! Great twist at the end! This writing was entertaining and a fun read. I found myself rooting for Prince Spring and
not liking King Winter. But King Winter is King for a reason *Wink* Really enjoyed this.

I have a couple of simple suggestions below, please feel free to use them or discard them as you see fit. *Bigsmile*


*Note1* Some years King Winter would deem his season complete early, saving his strength for true times of need.

The old king lifted his head, his search complete.


In the two sentences above, you use the word,
'complete' close together, making it a bit redundant. *Pthb* You may want to consider changing the one in the last sentence to finished or a similar word of your choosing. *Smile*

*Note2* tumbling end over end


Suggestion - end-over-end

*Note3* Spring Prince dimmed in defeat. “So many will die.”

“Indeed.” The King released the green Prince, who flew lethargically away south, his head hanging in defeat.


I have the same suggestion as above - the word
'defeat' is used too closely together. Try changing one of them, which will make the flow less redundant. *Wink*

*Thumbsup* NICELY DONE!

*Reading* A wonderful prose which will make the reader reflect on not only humanities shortcomings, but perhaps their own. The writer starts out discussing how wildlife learns to adapt to an ever-changing environment. With all the changes they face, they stay true, strong and proud. The prose then goes to how men handle change - we're always trying to go with the emotional flow that life throws at us, and handle it to the best of our ability. Unfortunately many times, we just cover our mistakes up or bury our deep emotional hurts and traumas, which end up smothering our life force. But as many of us do, we try to bounce back and hopefully make a graceful ending.

A pretty deep prose, with a lot of meaning, without having to use a lot of words.

*Thumbsup* WELL DONE! *Bigsmile*

Thanks for sharing.

Review of A Life We Stand  
Rated: E | (3.0)
*Reading* It's amazing you made every last word of each line throughout the poem rhyme. *Laugh* This is a good poem, which can resonate, I'm sure, with most readers.

*Note1* I do have a couple of suggestions - mainly to help with the flow of your poem. Please remember this is only my opinion, and is not meant to be taken as offense. *Heart*

I'll use your second stanza as an example of wonderful rhythm:


Children scream for much more love
- 7 beats
While lousy bullies give a shove.
- 8 beats
Innocence, white as a dove,
- 7 beats
Can't feel the grace from up above.
- 8 beats

You keep the 7/8 beat throughout most of the poem, but fall away from it a bit, here and there:


First Stanza:

Time to use some Godly sense(/c} -7 beats
Need not cry for recompense.
-7 beats
Love is often quite immense
- 7 beats
But guys and ladies will be dense.(/c} - 8 beats}

Your third stanza has a nice rhythm - but instead of 7/8 beat, you have 8/7 beat *Bigsmile*

Fourth Stanza:


Reckon we can cry some more
But what more can we bargain for?
Only what God has in store,
That our landing's never sore.


You do great in this stanza keeping the 7/8 beat, until the last line, where you have 7 beats, instead of 8 - easily fixed! *Thumbsup*
You may also want to look at using the word
'more' in the first line and second, as it reads a little redundant.

You now have the idea about the rhythm and can look at your last two stanzas.


This is a really nice poem and when the rhythm flow is fixed, it will be made even better!

Thank you for sharing your writing. *Smile*

Review of Forever in Time  
Rated: E | (5.0)
*Reading* Truly beautiful poem and so nicely done. I love how it begins:

For love to blossom ever pure
It must keep growing and endure
Budding hopes, God at our backs,
Sniffing odor’s fragrant tracks.


Your first stanza drew me in from the start - for love to grow, we definitely must endure! So many trials of a relationship - so many hopes and dreams - some succeed and others are harshly squashed - Thank goodness for God having our backs!


Reading your second stanza, makes me feel as if I could have written this poem, myself:


In this vibrant wilderness
Lay those dreams and tenderness,
Locked up tight from all our troubles,
Fateful sins and ancient rubbles.


The dreams and tenderness we once held can easily be lost, as life throws us so many trials and tribulations!


I don't want to post the last two stanzas, as I want to draw readers to your poem. It's a writing in which I believe many of us can relate.

*Thumbsup* NICELY DONE! *Bigsmile*

*Reading* Wow! Such great imagery! Your words paint the picture perfectly! The reader can easily envision every movement of the character, as well as the surroundings he is in. This makes the reading much more intimate. *Smile* I found myself wrapped up in the character's passion and longing - as we all have those relationships in the past, in which we have imagined rekindling. *Wink*

Nicely done. I look forward to reading on to Part Three!

Review of The Sword of Elam  
for entry "Summons
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
*Reading* My interest to read this story began at the very beginning, with your prologue. I've always had an interest in the Nephilim of the Bible, especially since it states also that 'the days of the end, will be like those in the days of Noah' - Nephilim was in the days of Noah.
As I read on to Chapter One, without giving any spoiler alert, I loved the last line. It made me smile and chuckle a bit, as it also hinted at what was to come in the story line! Great way to end Chapter One and leave the reader wanting more. *Wink*

As I finish Chapter Three, the story starts to unfold - the reader can expect magic, intrigue and battles (more than just against enemies, I am assuming *Smile* ) I look forward to reading on. This is one story I definitely want to finish!

Great story! Thanks so much for sharing!

*Thumbsup* WRITE ON! *Bigsmile*

*Shock* Wow! This story truly kept me on the edge of my seat. The emotion was so raw, I checked the details to see if it was autobiographical - I was a bit surprised to find out it wasn't *Bigsmile* It is all just wonderful writing and a writer taking on the role of the main character. I'm eager to read Part 2! I'm hoping it reveals why they couldn't be together, when they first fell in love. Absolutely loved it!

*Note1* The only mistake I found in the writing was a tiny one at the very end:


" I swing my
lags over the edge of the bed and sit up. "Okay?"

Thank you for a wonderful read!

Review of The Place of GOD!  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
*Reading* Hi Jaiam I enjoyed reading your short, though thought provoking poem. The last stanza makes one stop and think for a minute, on where God is in their life. *Heart*

A couple of small suggestions, (Please use or disregard them as you see fit):


*Note1* You cap all letters when using the name of our Lord God. I truly believe it will not take away from the impact in which you are wanting to portray, to only capitalize the first letter. *Smile*

*Note2* In the second stanza to the last it reads:


LORD of all things,
Is GOD.


Since the Lord and God are one in the same, you may want to change one of the names. Example:


Above all things,
is our Savior.


Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us. *Bigsmile*

Hello George R. Lasher *Delight* This review is on behalf of WDC Power Reviewers!

*Reading* Great story! I really enjoyed it and can easily envision it becoming a continuing series! *Bigsmile*

*Flower3*
The Beginning - The air of mystery is started right away from the very beginning, pulling the reader right in! Good job!

*Balloon2*
The Title and Description - The title and description is what drew my attention to the story. I believe we all see images from the corner of our eye - some maybe more than others. On the days I have them throughout the day, it always makes me wonder what I may be truly seeing. *Shock*

*Balloon4*
The Heart of the story kept me interested and eager to read on. Your descriptions were well done and helped me to easily visualize each scene, *Smile*

*Flower3*
The characterization - Although your characters were nicely done, I would have liked a little more detail on them, It would have been nice to be be able to visualize them a bit more and I believed it would have added a bit more dimension to your story,

*Balloon2*
The Ending - Absoultely fantastic! The ending was perhaps the strongest part of your story, and definitely made me want to continue reading, *Bigsmile*


*Balloon4*
This story could easily be made into a book. I'd like to hear more about the boyfriend: How deep did his study and practice of black magic stem? Did the girlfriend have any kind of mental illness? Or was it the curse that drove her completely over the edge in the end. It would be a wonderful story to expand on and made into a mini-series or a novel. I would definitely read it! *Delight*

*Note* Well Done! Keep On Writing! *Bigsmile* *Note*

*Reading* This poem is really beautiful. The writing is intimate and brings a peaceful feeling to the reader. I would have gladly given this writing 4.5 stars, if it weren't for the mechanical aspects. With a little tweaking, the writing will have even a stronger impact on its readers.

*Note1*
Time Goes By,Slow as Can Be,As I Wait,To See My Destiny

Each line of your poem is written like the line above. You need to add spaces after each comma, but I'd also separate the lines:

Time goes by slow as can be,
As I wait to see my destiny.

{Then drop down a couple of lines and make your next line like the one above.)

{Then again do the same for your last line.}


I believe having your poem spaced out correctly, will allow your readers to receive the full impact of your heart-felt, beautiful words. *Smile* *Heart*


I enjoyed reading your writing. *Smile*

*Reading* What a wonderful memory! *Smile* Isn't it amazing that when we look back to some of our favorite times, it isn't things that stay with us, but feelings. *Heart* You were a young child, perhaps for the first time, taking in the full meaning of Christmas. Your spirit was truly filled with the 'Spirit of Christmas' *Smile*

Were you ever able to share that with your father, or was that a memory too sacred to share?

*Note1*
My only suggestion would be to combine the two words: pop corn, into one: popcorn. Of course, that may be the way you write it across the pond. *Laugh*

Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us! *Heart*

*Reading* I remember reading the chapters of this book in your port, quite a few years back. It was so nice reading this excerpt, being reminded of how much I enjoyed it! I saved your links, and will definitely be purchasing this book! *Bigsmile* I highly recommend this book to all reading this review. J. A. Buxton even makes this book available in an adobe e-book, for a very small fee. I know you won't be disappointed!

I only have one suggestion - which may only be a typo:

*Note1*
Both children and the adults enjoying their second childhood interrupted the mayhem now and then to create snow angels.

The sentence above reads a bit awkwardly. Maybe it would help if you put a pause (comma) between adults and enjoying and once
again between, childhood and interrupted *Smile*


Thank you for posting the excerpt to your book, it was nice to find it again. I truly look forward to being able to read it in its entirety.

Review of Fountain of Youth  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
*Reading* Truer words were never spoken! What happened to finding the beauty of the lines in our face? They tell our character, they speak of our life lived. If it makes someone happier to have a little facelift, that's fine, but all this botox shots every six months, leaves one not even hardly able to smile, or show expression.

I'm getting on up in my years, and I believe I've aged this past year more than I have in a while- so I understand why people would go that route, but just remember, not everyone gets to live into old age, let's embrace it, celebrate life and the gift of growing older. The lines in my face show I have definitely lived! *Laugh* And you're so right, children will absolutely give you back a vitality, as will laughter. Laughter is like marrow to the bones, as sorrow dries up the bones. *Heart*

Thank you for sharing your beautiful writings with us! *Bigsmile*

Rated: E | (5.0)
*Reading* How beautifully simple. This one gave me chills as well *Bigsmile* I must be in a sentimental mood this morning, or perhaps reading your writings have put me in a nostalgic, sentimental mood today. *Heart*

There's so many lessons which can be taken from this short writing, on so many different levels. Although it takes place in the future, it teaches us that we need do not need to lose our hopes and dreams we have in this lifetime, that we should cherish them for all that they are and all that they can bring - life without dreaming, is a life that's not truly living- I know, as I've been there. It's not a place anyone should be. I also loved how this story ends- it shows that no matter what man's laws may be, or no matter how lost this human race may become, people will continue to dream- and it just may be a child who leads them. *Heart*

Absolutely Beautiful!

Review of My Church  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
*Reading* This is so beautiful, it gave me chills. Your opening had me day dreaming of all those beautiful, saintly buildings - how I would love to see them all and talk to God in each one, as it would truly bring joy to my soul. Then as I read on, my heart ached, as I so agree with you- religion has truly ran many people running away from God as fast as they can run. I wish all of those could read your beautiful poem. You do not have to be religious to be spiritual. I look at Religion as man's law and spirituality as God's way- to find a church to worship in where God's word is what truly matters is ultimate- but the temple is within. God likes us to worship with others, because it helps build us up and gives us support- not because it's the only way. I worship God all day, every day: on my knees inside my home, sitting in front of the T.V. hearing news which upsets me, I talk to God about it- standing up with my hands on my family, sitting out on my porch, on my knees in my yard and sometimes on my face in my house and in my yard - I've worshiped in many churches and am still on the hunt for the right one for me. In the meantime, I worship with several evangelists on T.V. It matters not to God where you worship, as long as you worship Him and keep Him the center of your life. There's one thing about those who worship without a building, we worship God because we love God and want Him to be our reason for living- we do not worship for 'looks' or 'social standing'. One day I hope to find the perfect church where they truly worship God and do not care what you have on- until then, I'll keep singing my praises to God all day long, just as I do now.

Thank you for writing this- it's truly beautiful. It's so nice to hear of someone else worshiping God from their heart- and what better place to worship Him, then in the midst of His creation? *Heart* *Smile*

((hugs and God Bless))

This is a gorgeous, well written piece of poetry. *Heart* I love the subject of your writing: a nature's praise to God. *Bigsmile*

As not only a writer, but an artisan of many interests, nature has always been my muse. When I am asked where I get my inspiration, the answer you can find on all of my store profiles is: "My main inspiration comes just from walking outside- God is definitely the ultimate artisan!"

Your passionate words of nature itself praising and saluting God for his abundant blessings of everyday miracles is truly heart-touching. *Heart*

Review of A Child Sleeps  
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
*Reading* This is a review on behalf of "Showering Acts of Joy Group [E]

This writing is a passionate tribute from a mother to her sleeping child. The writer uses her words unashamed, letting the unconditional beauty of her love flow onto the paper. A mother drinking in every inch of the life she once carried, committing a moment of time, which will be forever etched into her memory. *Heart* And for a fleeting moment, the human limitations of understanding such an unconditional love, tries to squeeze in - but the spiritual emotion will not allow physical limitations to take one second of this very private moment. The writer lets us into one of her most personal, intimate experience and shares her over-whelming pride of her beautiful child. A truly heart-warming tribute.

Below is a few suggestions. Please remember these are just my suggestions and are intended to help. Please use or discard them as you see fit. *Smile*

*Idea*
A couple of more categories, which you can add to the "Emotional" Category, are: Experience and Parenting - perhaps even Family and Relationship (which you can type into the tag word box). The more subcategories you have, the more of a chance others have to find your writing. *Smile*

*Reading* Wow! The second chapter was just as good as the first. It defintiely took me by surprise, and I was not expecting any of the events which took place.

Now, I look forward to reading on - but now not sure at all what to expect, which is kind of exciting. I believe it will definitely be a different kind of story, than what I first expected. *Smile*

The writing is exciting and keeps the reader glued to the story. The ending is one the reader is not ready for, which keeps the desire to read on, going strong! *Bigsmile*
