Review of Tea and Euphoria  
Review by Redtowrite
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: I loved this poem-I have felt these feelings. Whether someone is old, disabled or depressed there are times when a morning brings the possibility of a remembered bright day.


What I liked most: There are so many beautiful lines in this poem-what a treat

Remembering the mornings of warmth and lilacs
Feeling as though I’d accomplished everything
Just by rising
So filled with delicious suspense of what the day could bring
Like today

To be able to remember the wonderful things in life-precious memories that will live on as long as you do.


Suggestions for change: None




This writing made me feel: like the writer, that I have had those days and I will again-life changes and you have to with it. As long as you can touch the reader, bring a smile or tears to the eyes, you are a gifted author. Write on.



Always make the time to write. Your characters will speak to you, if you take the time to listen.
Keep writing!

In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?

Review of Today I Rest  
Review by Redtowrite
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: A simple expression of what many people can identify with, reading all day. I really want someone to wait on me with food and drink.


What I liked most: It is short, sweet, rhymes and I like the subject.




Suggestions for change: Perhaps you could inclide why you enjoy reading so much.



This writing made me feel: Ready to curl up with a book. Keep writing.

Review of THE EMPTY HOUSE  
Review by Redtowrite
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: A bittersweet story that most of us recognize or will at sometime in our lives. I love the way that it ends without the bitter just the sweet.


What I liked most: The feelings are so real. I love the way it starts with the memory of Mom's bread and the dog's bark.
I like that the story is so real. It makes me cry because I am at that age and almost 60 myself.



Suggestions for change: The format is the only problem I have. Maybe more spacing between the paragraphs. It looks like it is all running together.




This writing made me feel: The feelings of the author, the joy of the past and then the loss of the Mom that brought on depression of the Dad. Losing your parents may be the natural progression of things but it is so hard. Keep writing-you are very talented.



Always make the time to write. Your characters will speak to you, if you take the time to listen.

Review of Rain  
Review by Redtowrite
In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: I love the rain so this describes one of my favorite things.


What I liked most: The senses that this short but full poem brings into play.




Suggestions for change: I copied your poem and just made a couple of changes.

The drowsy streets awakened,
by thousands of crystal drops.
The rhythm of the season,
falls from the sky.
Long deprived leaves
drench in their dreams.
The perfume of wet soil,
infuses the air.
The submissive wind,
forgets all care.
-Oh hence, the rain has come.




This writing made me feel: I want to dance in the raindrops with the one I love. Write on!

Rated: E | (4.5)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: I liked what you wrote "even through loss there can be gain". You accomplished that with this remembrance of your Dad. It was told through the eyes of the child that you were at that time and that takes talent.


What I liked most: I loved the part of your Dad standing under a tree and realizing later that he wished for a quick death.
My husband's father had his first heart attack at 27 and considering his family history and that happened in the 50's, he knew his life span wouldn't be long. It must be like a sword dangling over your head.

Suggestions for change: The only thing you could add is a favorite memory of you and your father. But it is a really good writing as is. I didn't see any punctuation or grammar errors.

I am so glad your Mom remarried and you had a wonderful step father. You are very fortunate to have had support around you when your Dad died.


This writing made me feel: I felt the emotional pain over your Dad's death- good job of telling about the effect it had on your life. Keep writing- you are talented.

Rated: E | (4.0)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: Interesting poem that takes nature and compares it with the tasks and musings of life.


What I liked most: I like the way you take each season and compare it to the phllosophy of mankind. Your use of rhyme and rhythm is excellent.

Suggestions for change: None



This writing made me feel: I feel like Winter is the final season because everything has died off but I may have to change my mind. Very nice writing. You are a talented poet. Keep writing.

Review of Love of my Life  
Review by Redtowrite

Rated: E | (4.0)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: A beautiful loving tribute to your wife. She is a lucky lady to have such a sensitive man.


What I liked most: You can feel the depth of emotion in the writing.


Suggestions for change-

You might want to add (a) in 2nd stanza.
:
It was (a) dream come true,

I noticed there wasn't any punctuation in the following stanza.

And if God asked me what else
I would say no more
My only wish would be "YOU"
Unto eternity no one else


This writing made me feel: Your love and devotion. Continue to write.

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: an overwhelming feeling of sadness


What I liked most: your ability to express your feelings in a short but touching poem




Suggestions for change:
I am curious if this a miscarriage and how far along or a child that was born? That is just my curiosity and since this is your writing, it is a private thing. You shared the most important part. A child is a child and that kind of loss must be devastating, no matter the circumstances. You do seem to be at peace with this loss.




This writing made me feel: so much empathy toward you- continue to share. Write on!

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: This was mildy scary for a grownup. I read it chewing on my fingernail.


What I liked most: The fast pace, building up to a climax and the feeling of being there with Fae.




Suggestions for change: I wondered how old your character was and some background about her parents. This is just curiosity because of the way she speaks and how cold her mother seems to be.




This writing made me feel: Frightened for this child-I wanted to say "don't go in the barn, please!". Keep writing!

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: Clever poem using the title of their songs. This is supposed to be a tribute to the Beatles and I can't find tribute expressed in the poem.


What I liked most: The idea behind this piece. The rhythm and rhyme is there.




Suggestions for change: I am a fan of this group and each of these individuals. They are considered geniuses by their peers. If it is a tribute, why say "Paul can't sing"?




This writing made me feel: Disappointed -there is so much you could have said about their music. It is your poem and I do think the idea behind it was a good one. Write on.

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: I believe this is my problem, not your writing. I just equate love with an emotional theme and stores do not bring up those feelings in me.


What I liked most: Your descriptions are closer to my concept of love. You describe flowers very well.




Suggestions for change: Poems are strange, so very individual and unique. Many people do not get my poetry so I am sorry I don't understand your equating love with meat selections.




This writing made me feel: Confused. Keep writing.

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: A beautiful and creative writing that took courage, strength and love to write.


What I liked most: The best thing is that you felt the same way I did on this remarkable day. I can't remember another election when I cried tears of joy. My favorite part was the following:
He put a period on all of the old history, and began the first sentence in the new history and new direction of a nation!




Suggestions for change: None. You poured your heart out and I felt your emotions. That is what meaningful writing is
all about.




This writing made me feel: Very close to you. You are a honest writer and that is a great compliment. I am not young and have children and grandchildren that need to break the umbilical cord-it is hard on both sides. I love the way you took the inauguration and then went on to talk about good parenting and what it really means. Keep writing!

What I liked most: No matter how hard we try to steer in the right direction, the weeds are always there. I like the message-it is short but has a lot to say.



Suggestions for change: none




This writing made me feel: Like someone else feels just like I do so much of the time. Thanks and write on!

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: This was an interesting read but it could have been more intense if the old man had told a story with specific details.


What I liked most: I liked the story idea and the descriptions of the farm also a relationship between the two characters.




Suggestions for change: If the soldier had told one or two stories with details it would have been better. Perhaps he could have chosen a fellow soldier, a close friend, and described a battle scene where someone is saved. Even a love relationship via letters.




This writing made me feel: I enjoyed this story but think it could be even better. Keep writing-you are talented.

What I liked most: I enjoyed the line with "on heaven's love we trust'. How we all count on that one and the older I get the more it means to me. It haunts me and your poem speaks to the very memories I have-I want a "redo" on many of mine.




Suggestions for change: none

Excellent read! You managed to keep me reading from beginning to end anxiously biting my nails. This reminds me of a Stephen King novel and that is the best compliment I can give a mystery writer. It is written in simple language that reflects our lives. Thanks for an enjoyable read that I wil remember. Hopefully it won't be at night when the wind is talking and I am alone. Write on!

Ann-

You write beautifully about your life. I would liove to read your autobiography. Your story has heart, sadness, longing, and truth. I have a gay son and know how difficult things can be but family love and acceptance is everything. It is who each of us is in our hearts that are the true meaning of our lives. You have so much courage. I can't imagine waiting all those years to be who you truly are. I am so happy your love story came true. You deserve it. Write on!

Any comments are only my personal ideas and meant as suggestions.

My overall impression: An emotionally open piece that I can relate to. I don't know your age but I can tell you that as you become older these feelings lessen.


What I liked most: The honesty is refreshing and your poem flows smoothly. You are a talented writer when you can open up and let people see how you feel by writing so eloquently.




Suggestions for change: None.




This writing made me feel: I have a disorder that causes tremors since the age of fifteen. I have always been shy, hiding with a book or in the corner of a room hoping no one will approach me. As I became older I realized everyone has something. I was only denying myself the opportunity of being a part of the world so I started to speak to others first. It works! Life is short, explore it and keep writing.
