Review by J. A. Buxton
Rated: E | (4.5)
Lorilady, at first I thought it would be about covered bridges, something every New Englander like I was loves. As I read further, I got drawn into your poem and its symbols, forgetting the bridge.

To say I enjoyed it is putting it mildly, although it did send a shiver up my spine during the middle of it. The ending was excellent and pulled it all together. Good work!

Review of Walking  
Review by J. A. Buxton
Rated: E | (4.0)
“She could not kneel any longer and instead sifted slightly to sit on her legs.”

I’m not sure, but do you mean shifted instead of sifted?

It’s a lovely story, but be careful of mixing up your tenses. It seems at times you were talking in the present and other times in the past.

I did enjoy it very much, though.

You have an interesting essay about writing, although you can improve it by proofreading and running it through a spellchecker. The many misspelled words took away from my pleasure of reading it.

I understand what you mean about loving to write, but don’t forget you also would like others to read your words. Spelling and punctuation are a part of getting your ideas across to others, as well as a plot. I hope you continue posting your writing here and will look forward to reading more.

Review of Lost Within  
Review by J. A. Buxton
Rated: E | (5.0)
Having had brief spells of depression years ago, I understand the feelings behind this poem. Like all good writing, it did pull me in and bring back memories of those days, if only for a few minutes.

I will be reading more of your work and hope some are more uplifting as I refuse to be unhappy today. Well done!

It might be cruel of me, but I found myself laughing all through this and thinking, "Better you than me!"

Looking forward to more of your adventures, and hopefully you survive then, too.

Review of Just A Cat

I loved it, Nicole, and can just see one of my five cats looking at me like that.

As Oliver Twist would say, "More, please. I want more."

Review of Vanish  
Review by J. A. Buxton
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
I didn't see that ending for her child coming. Very well written, in my opinion, with excellent descriptions of the characters. I'm new here, so hopefully this is how a critique should be written and posted.

Only one small quibble, and I might be wrong. Are you sure your use of the semicolon throughout is correct when you separate a dependent and independent clause? For example:
She looked back to the Figerro; her wild, quivering eyes pleading for help.

Anyway, this aside, I enjoyed your story.
