Any romance, because I just hate reading it, and because it does no good to anyone. I agree you might not understand. Thanks.

Greetings. I read this your work. I think you were sincere and straight to the point. This did rid me of tedious reading.

As a Christian who knows but a little and have tasted but a little of the spiritual, my advice is that faith in God is different from faith in a presumed word of God. Two, no one gets true faith by studying theology. You get it by God's direct effort. And He's willing. Humbly ask and be patient.

Review of Silver Linings

I read your poem. It was momentous, straight to the point and revelational. Revelational in the sense that it shows how you feel about the situation. It was real.

I wouldn't say I enjoyed reading it. Maybe because of the structure and the gloomy words, but who am I? Just a reader.

Also, the last four lines seem to have rhythm of their own and thereby disrupting the flow.

Finally, you passed your message, which is a writer's number one agenda.

Greetings.

Review of Alone  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale
Rated: E | (5.0)
There is more in life than a tent that rejected its king. The worth of a man is his heart, not his pocket nor his mouth. Repentance and reversal is an act of humilty. Males lack this very much.

I think that the abandoned can be accepted, if the other party sees a reason to accept such. But one must make steps to get the forgiveness of those he wronged while he is yet alive, not fear about it. Real men lead by example: humilty and true love. Make the step. Not to be accepted, but to get their forgiveness. That is number one.

Review of Jerry  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Hi, I read this story today. Are you still here in this site? Please give me a reply ASAP if so. Thanks very much.

I think that Jerry is gifted. Gifted in comforting and counselling people, but is deficient in physical well-being, which hindered him from living out his full potential. But despite that, he helped the protagonist. For that alone I think he was a hero. His life likely would not have been in vain.

I enjoyed the story, but I stumbled on some wrong sentences -- even an incomplete one. You do not seem to have much interest in good grammar, but it helps make it easier for your reader to understand and enjoy your writing.

Greetings.

Very funny and masterfully told. No moment reading it was not interesting, captivating and nice.

I think that the woman needed more description, since the story was meant to last for a few moments, but I also now understand that you might have been economising words. You could make put more colour to the canvas when your use for the story -- maybe the contest -- is gone by.

Sounds like a poem on racism.

Review of A CAN OF WORMS  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale
Rated: E | (4.5)
I've been to the feild you discussed; being lonely and not finding it easy to make friends take you there. You'll deal with relationships differently, because you understand some things, and have suffered.

If paradventure the friend you have likes you and doesn't want to lose you, and you yourself don't wanna lose the person, that is priceless, if truthfulness and trustworthiness are also attendant.

I like the analogy. I also have a question: If the worms are bad characters, should I be happy or be sad and keep asking God to take them away?

Review of Who Knows?  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale
Rated: E | (4.5)
Though the question is rhetorical, permit me to act as if it isn't. Since the speech is philosophical, permit me to say my view.

I think that beauty is whatever appeals to the mind, and that two minds might see the same things differently. This signifies that the heart of a person is as beautiful as he finds right things beautiful, and as ugly as he finds wrong things beautiful.

Thanks for sharing the poem.

Also, do you write structured poems? I wish you do; I read this one like a stylishly worded prose.

The price was interesting; I burned through it as fire would an intensely sucked cigarillo. The language was simple. Nothing is as nice as complex ideas put in simple words. I call think such people are heroes, since not being understood or speaking simply is easier. 😂

My opinion is that conventional methods can be boring - permit me to yawn - but known methods are good to be said, especially to one who has no idea what to do next, or how to do it. There are many 'do nots', but I don't obey them all. I learn from them, but that's all.

Concerning what you said, I think that what a writer should not forget too is, 'Is this realistic?'

I think that these politicians are all players, mostly. Getting fanatical about them is folly.

I also believe that my party shouldn't tell me whom to vote for. If the man my party chose wouldn't do collective good to my country, I would not vote him, though he be from my party. Our pursuits should go beyond parties to men and what they can offer.

My opinion.

Review of River Side  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale

I saw the romantic scene.

I also know that the writer is a woman. Her voice came through.

You are trying in giving your lines the appropriate number of syllables, but you have some things to see to too.

The number of lines per stanza was irregular, the poem was shallow in my eyes...had no depths..heart. The words you use matter.

Hello Shinobi...I thought that this means a masterless person? Are you a Samurai? 😂

Okay. Getting serious. I don't understand your language...I don't speak Japanese. Since you can write your name in English, I certainly believe you can do your articles in it too.

This will help both you and your reader's a lot. They can read your article and advice you, while you learn.

I don't know any Japanese here, so who would read your articles. I hope for a reply.

Great 🙄
I just wonder why people can't leave their hairs as it is. At least, the colour should be respected. 😕
Well, not my concern 🤷 I'm only here to read and enjoy.

The article has a captivating title... that's what got me reading.
The write up seemed nonfictional, which is why I'm presuming that this might not be fictional. 😉

It was wearying when the tale seemed to cut off for a minute, and the speaker started taking about when she was waking up and what she does... but I tried hard to finish. I hope you see the fault and fix it.

Review of Power  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale

Rated: E | (3.0)
The message was passed, and the last imagery was the highest bullet of them all, speaking for myself.

I like your confidence and free expression. One shouldn't drop this in favour of sounding majestic. You sounded majestic, anyway. A good mark.

Your sentences are wrong, sometimes, which you should look into. There is poetic licence, but its refuge should be sought sparsely, not as a lifestyle, or your poems will sound like fourth class poetry to an advanced reader.You sound like a beginner. I sounded like this once.

Your rhyme is zero percent, which is why I read it as a prose and not as a poem. For example: Twinkle, twinkle little star;
How I wonder what you are!

You liked that, right?

Try to give your lines decipherable rhythm, at least. From there, start practicing end rhymes. Not all poems have end rhymes, but it gives a kind of look to your poem.

Remember not to drop originality, sincerity or simplicity for rhymes.

Much to say, but I'll be around if you need me.

Greetings.

Stanza 2, line 4 could be, "oh, humanity suffers.' I think it blends in better.

Stanza 3, line 2 can be confusing. Are these guys anti-education? We know they aren't. But they stop girls from getting educated, right? Then, it could sound better thus: 'Why stop/quench/ their education?'

This piece is secular, but my review might be controversial, for which I have no apology.

Religion and spiritual beliefs blind the eyes. Your words to this guy would be empty and angering, because you, an infidel, try to tell them not to fight for God. Scary? I agree. I am also glad to announce to you that the head of those people did such, so it is right in their religion, even though some of them try to say it isn't.

Review of AM I A VAGABOND?  
Review by Mikel Bardsdale
Rated: E | (4.5)
I read this poem, Ma'am. I like the Indian way of expression in it. You know, variety is the spice of life, some say.

The topic was clear, and the speech was realistic and straight to the point by 80 percent. That's a big fit, since poetry is a complex literary art.

I felt as much as this with the lady: she has no family to rely on, she has no where to run to and felt betrayed and helpless. Do you know whom this happened to?

Greetings.

To me, it's like bleeding through your pen. In the steps of your pen, your heart is seen. When a skilled pair of eyes state behind large lens at your pen's steps, the cheeks will smile, because such person sees your heart.

I sincerely want to know clearly why you think that writing and riding are the same in a poetic way.
