*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*


Hello Sssssh! I'm not really here. , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Boiled Peanuts, Grits and Straw Hats"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Your poem, its verse and images, tone and vision are grand. Like a mini-saga, the subject is vast in its scope and lingers over elements in the people and the surroundings that take my soul into an era of style and refinement we may never experience again.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

While I have never experienced this kind of vacation and excursion, I would expect that next year’s cruise to Alaska will have some of this. That is my hope, and it is a hope that is fueled by my introduction to the vital, but stalwart people in your story/poem.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I really liked a lot, the story quality of your piece and as it transitioned into a more traditional poem in the last four verses, I felt something akin to watching a painter paint. The prose artist converting the elements on a canvas into a divine picture. Perfect.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I just plain like your writing. You fill up your verses with treats for all of my senses and it is always a joy to visit with you. Thank you. *Heart* *Delight*

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Yes, breathless. Even as you say in your intro, you have captured a place where in twenty-four hours one can witness the majesty of that which is created all around us. The images are born along on a lovely lyrical rhythm that holds me spell bound as I read and re-read your verse.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Besides knowing the various diversions in this scene, one is introduced to the wonder that can be found in just observing nature, light, shadows and the movements of creatures in their various wilds. The sounds, aromas and sights bless the imagination in this piece. I am filled up with the scene’s elegance.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Every thought, word and image in these piece is perfect.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I have hiked into these places or have excavated them in my own little paradise, and when there are transitions here and there, transitions between birth and death, awakening and sleep, there is amazing drama that I am delighted to be a part of. *Heart* *Delight*

Hello KC under the midnight sun , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "The Phoenix and the Dragon"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

I really got into your writing of this take off on an interesting myth. I felt the tone and pace of your story was well executed and the use of a folk-lore style of sentence structure and word use made the scenes authentic and powerful.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The ideal in the story, that the Dragon and the Phoenix had a love for each other, is masterfully developed and portrayed. It reminded me of our love/hate relationship with some nations like Germany and Japan and sometimes China. It’s a dance that takes centuries to develop. Perpetually at war, we have moments where we adore the people and the culture and transcend the political ideologies that unleash hatred and violence.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The development of each character and their motivation in the story is excellent. The scene setting was particularly well done, also. The plot and the bit of a twist at the end was a surprise and well-conceived. Great read. *Cool*


  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Rulers and Kings, whether on a mythical plane or in real life, resurrect life’s tragedies over and over again. At the heart of this tale is the essence of a truth that is hard to accept. It isn’t that mankind doesn’t learn from history. There just isn't anything in their DNA that can stop the madness. Thank you for sharing your gift. *Delight*

Review of Daddy's Girl  
Review by ♫~ Kenword~♫
In affiliation with Inspirational Writers Guild  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello Bonnie , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Daddy's Girl"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

I missed out on my first daughter, being my girl. Too much time away and not enough love. I was determined not to let it happen again, especially with Sam. We had a bit of the moment your story is about, only the salesman was from Pakistan and was, in the 21st century, wearing a leisure suit. We got the bargain of a lifetime on an Infinity. We’ve had many laughs and joys around the events up to and on the other side of that car purchase. Getting that car was just one of the many events we shared together that have kept us close through the years. It is awesome having a daughter whose face lights up just because I am near. A miracle heart healer.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I liked the pace, theme and characters in your story. The tone is light and inspirational. The father-daughter relationship you created was believable and while perhaps more rare than we realize, it spoke to the joy I have in my soul for having the wonder of such a relationship.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I enjoyed the story just the way you have written it and would not change a thing.


  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

What is it about used car sales people (sales men in particular) that makes them such characters? I’m not sure, but your story has left me with a smile that isn’t going away soon. Thank you. *Delight*

Review of Lean on Me

Hello ~Sue~ , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Lean on Me"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

The traditional rhyme and cadence of your piece is both peaceful and comforting. The theme of faithful companionship and love is enriching to read and absorb, because it speaks to something that has become uncommonly rare. I have had the joy of experiencing that love you write about, but so many of the people I know are divorced from this kind of intimacy and care.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The images of two people bonded by vows and years is touching. It lifts the spirit immediately. How amazing to have someone who can take a dark night and turn it into a precious day. How many ways, my wife and I have learned to lean on and depend on the other. My greatest joy is that I have been shown time and again how much she is there for me. And now it is my turn again. She may depend on my life to be there for her during this challenging time in her life.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The quality of your writing is superb and everything about your poem was perfect.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

If I were to describe in tangible terms what it means to give and receive unconditional love, I would use your poem as a wonderful example. Beautifully done! *Delight**Heart*

Review of The End of An Era  
Review by ♫~ Kenword~♫
In affiliation with Inspirational Writers Guild  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello Incurable Romantic , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "The End of An Era"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

I was glad to take a journey with you as you gave a tribute to a newspaper that meant so much to you. It is too bad when institutions that play such an important role in our lives are no longer sustainable. American made cars, clothes and music have all had their day. But they have been coopted by a different world to become unrecognizable.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I love the way you layed out the historical transition of the Cincinnati Post and everything in your tribute was respectful and honoring in tone and feel. As you concluded your piece, my mind took a little journey into what may be an additional force behind the closing of local papers. Besides the internet’s influence there is its hideous dark side that makes the pains suffered in one part of the world our pain. A bombing, killing with racial biases involved or a corrupt politician in some other state takes precedence. Do I really want to be that much a citizen of the world. No. I’m a boy from Ukiah. Our big news every summer was the grass fire on Cow Mountain. (The forest had burned away years ago.) I am small block party centric. I don’t care what a cop does in Baltimore. If he does it in my neighborhood that’s news. In every way, the anxiety created by internet treatment of anything is no substitute for the people I know and love right here in my own neighborhood.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Your writing of this tribute was of a quality that made me excited to examine those precious things I hold dear in my life. Like your city’s newspaper. They are not far from where I live. Well done.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Great historical writing and communication of the important facts that speak of why I should care about your city and times. Like everyone, I want what I enjoy to hold off from their demise until after I have left this planet. Write On! *Delight*

Review of Force of Nature  
Review by ♫~ Kenword~♫
In affiliation with Inspirational Writers Guild  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Hello St. Patrickraken , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Force of Nature"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

You could have titled your piece: Why Kenword Lives in Washington State. Originally from California I’ve witnessed freeway bridge falls in earth quakes, the nuclear heat of forest fires, tidal waves and gale force winds. Only three trips out of the state and I easily added: three tornadoes, seven electrical storms with strikes within several yards of my hide out and one typhoon. You got to love nature. She is a fury.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The action words in your poem capture the images that still live with me after observing the devastation adverse weather, and sliding earth plates, can cause. The staccato beat and quick tempo reflect wonderfully the forceful power engaged by nature when it is time to display her rage.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I enjoyed your writing and the force with which you write. I could not recommend any edits or revisions.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Oh, we do get an occasional rip in the earth here a bouts and I’ve been told that one of the major mountains blew off its top, and then there was that time when an earth slide wiped out and entire town. But for the most part, Washington keeps good company with nature. We, as you say, especially those of us who have moved from more dangerous climates, have a devoted respect for nature. If you see her. Please tell her so. *Delight*

Hello mars , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "The sea never the same"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

You have found a beautiful and mysterious way of characterizing the sea. Like a woman who has found comfort. And if the sea is like a woman and a woman like the sea, I can imagine easily the wonder at her wizened engagements with earth and sky.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The message is subtle and it is the best kind to enter into the hallowed places of my soul. Storms rage. Wrecks. Sinking. The fear of disaster and actual disasters. Yet my soul must find peace as though it forgets. For like the sea, the soul of me is never the same.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Your poem was perfect in every way. I would not encourage any changes.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The tone and images and flow of your words create a picturesque place to visit and to ponder the comfort I have found. Like the sea, I doze in the beauty of the moment far away from the tempest that was the night before. Beautiful. *Delight**Heart*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Ways to act educated"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

While I have developed an open mind so that I can filter out what I don’t like and still find the “good stuff” in what is written, I am glad to declare that with your article I did not have to! I agreed with and loved it all. Some of your suggestions remain for me to try. I’ve never read a cliff note or a play synopsis. If there are some for Kindle, I’m on it.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

We have been reading out loud each week with our grandson and it has definitely made a world of difference for all of us. And it has been fun. We have shared something in common and expanded our world in a way we can all relate too.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Besides being a helpful article on all points, it was also fun to read. Your writing style and excellent communication skills shine through this piece. Write On!

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I am glad to say I am a history freak, and I am constantly digging into my community knowledge banks to find out more. And in every way I am growing more curious about all things. That is why I enjoyed your article so much. It confirmed what I’ve learned and it opened doors to new ways to make discovery. Thank You. *Delight**Heart*

Hello Magoo , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "A Needed Friend"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

I love the design, rhymes and images you have written into your poem. The sorrow is conveyed in such a way that even though I have not suffered the loss of a father, I could empathize immediately with the family’s grief.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The tone of the poem stays light and I like that. There are many reasons one could stay focused on the grief and sorrow, but you help your reader see the hope that can be found in horrible situations. Sometimes, or maybe always, that hope is found in focusing on another, especially if that “another” is a wounded puppy.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

There is a tremendous amount of love, hope and life expressed in your piece and I would not recommend changing a word. Perfect.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

In war, it was only natural to wonder about the families whose fathers or sons and now mothers and daughters would not go home. How would they recover from the cruelty of war? Your poem put to rest some of those ancient ponderings. Thank You. *Smile*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Beware the Mermaid"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

The mermaid myth is right up my alley. I like what you have done with it in this incredibly expressive poem. The sailor of course is me. I have to put me center stage in any poem and the doors that you have left open for me to do that are great. She wasn’t of the sea. She was barely anchored on land. More of a Hoverer if there is such a thing. There are still parts of me missing that won’t grow back!

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

The battle or the conquest and death, mermaid and sailor is written with exquisite clarity and passion. I was completely engaged in every image and word. I experienced the pain in my soul and relived my own execution. Marvelous.


  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I like your poem just the way it is written. Awesome. *Cool*

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

My condolences to the poor sailor. My guess he’s dead. Probably just as well. For those of us who have to live on and find some way to recover? More’s the pity. *Delight*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "AND NOBODY OBJECTED……"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

I like what you have created in your poem and its particular theme. The “world” lies and one way or another, whether it is from high office or low. Every human pays the price for those lies. And even when one may object. It’s hardly ever heard.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Your poem awakened a remembrance of the invasion of Cuba back a few years. Truth about how the US ship Maine was sunk was of no particular interest to anyone. And though my thinking of the events around the beginning of that war may be a bit askew, if I remember correctly it was the US media’s need to sell more papers and gain wider circulation that fired up the US war machine that time around. And don’t even get me started on Mr. Robert Strange McNamara.


  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I think your writing is clear, concise, vibrant and alive. I could not recommend any edits or revisions for this piece.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Despite my hatred of war and those who engineer the bloody things. They do make awesome subject matter for great poetry. All hail Winston Churchill and Alfred Tennyson. Thank you for sharing your gift. *Delight*

Hello Amay , I am ♫~ Kenword~♫ , participating in a review challenge in the "Game of Thrones" .
 
I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "I Live in the Universe"  inspired.
 
  *Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown*

The full impact of your poem, for me, comes from the repetition of the facts and truths of how we are geographically positioned to our Creator. In a world that runs on the fumes of unbelief and lies, it was powerful to read again and again the primary truths that one can validate at any moment we choose. It is refreshing to spend time with images that speak the truth. That do not lie. Have no reason to lie. We do live, and we live in a place and time and it is all “created by God.” Amen.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I am on the other side of the continent from where you live, but I too live on xxxx street and if I plugged in the numbers and you wanted to validate my address, you could look me up on Zillow or Google maps and there I would be … on 12th avenue. Oops. *Cool*. But however our truths are validated, we only need to take in the wonders of all creation to know that God created it all. And that is the greatest, wisest truth of all.


  *Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown*

I enjoyed your poem immensely, just the way it is written. It touched my soul in a tangible way, as I remember to worship and pray today.

  *Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown*

Inspiration comes in the form of those of us whom God has made. I am glad to have had the time, sharing in the truth of your vision. It was a delightful ride. Thank you for sharing your gift. *Delight**Heart*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Shipwreck"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I love the feel, tone, structure and beat of this poem. The elements that require my feelings to come up to the surface and experience the theme are definite and clear. The last two years of my life have been about pain. You write – wince, throb, pity – and I can immediately ascribe your expression to something broken in my muscles and bones.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

In addition to the vivid images of what provokes the body and mind to suffer, there is a steady movement towards a change. The tone never becomes tragic, but rather beckons me to navigate through the painful shoals where tides and ripples spread the agony away. I take a breath.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT

if I can stop and breathe, there is no doubt
I'll see a drifting branch of better days.

This is a moment of respite. And I love the image of a drifting branch being a simile for a better day that is on its way.*Smile*

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Everything about your poem was perfect to me.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Surgery, Schmurgery!"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I have truly envied those who could write comedic prose. Yes, I envy you. Your post was absolutely hysterical. Having had a serious surgery in that same general area a decade ago I was amazed at how much I related to your article and laughed. I can even now remember that if I had of laughed like I just did back then I would have passed out!

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I learned a bit about writing comedy through your post as well. It was in the tone and the cleverly, craftily constructed ironies throughout the story that kept it amusing and at times, completely hilarious.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT

By 0945 I was in my car heading home. Can you believe it? I thought. What a stud! I don't even feel like I had surgery. I'm famished! Oh man, do Golden Corral's chicken strips and ranch sound good right now or what!.

I loved this part because it is the perfect tee up. I think even those who have not had a serious surgery would know that something dreadful was about to happen.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Not only did I laugh myself silly, I took away some increased appreciation for the fine art of writing comedy.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Good gracious, it felt good in the hospital. The birds were singing, my wife was laughing at every goofy thing I said, morphine apparently makes one quite witty, though honestly I don’t remember. Thank you for sharing the experiences you had around your surgery. Every moment was authentic and pure fun…well for your readers anyway. Write On! *Delight**Sun*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "MIA GRACE"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Your tender tribute to Mia Grace and those who would never experience her tears or laughter, joys and sorrows, is amazing in so many ways. Your expressions are especially reverent and there is nearly a holiness in the way you express a bond between those who produce life and the One who gives life. Truly worshipful.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

As God is about answering our prayers, it is hard for His children to understand His ways, and yet as we enter into a place of worship of Him, as I did through your poem, the closeness of His presence satisfies all of our longing. This is what I received through your precious words and images.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT
The peace and the contentment that we feel when life is good,
Gives us cause to praise the Lord, in prayer; and so we should.

There is truly a path that leads to contentment and I appreciate your sweet admonition to praise God in those moments. How real it is for the man to know he is mortal and there is a time of parting. Every thought you bring to Mia Grace’s tribute is lyrical with a hymn-like quality that resonates with the singer in me. The tone is consistently honoring and respectful and the theme refreshing in every way.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Everything about your poem is gracious light for those who know God and bless Him for the days gone-by and those that are on the way. Beautifully done.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I know Mia Grace, though she never was able to enter the dance of life; I know her because of the tears I have shed with others who have lost their children at birth. Everything about her invites us to be one with God’s great sorrow and mourning for those who perish without ever coming to be with Him. *Smile**Heart*

Magnificently transparent. The words of your poem seem to open the curtains that prevent prying eyes from seeing into your soul. One love’s observation and your poetic sword starts flashing in the sun and it is as though it is okay for the prying eyes to see this part of you. Posing to defend and yet in every way defenseless.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

In the professional world we may refer to them as people coping skills. All humanity comes to our feet with their dysfunction. I absolutely cheered your response. Whether I look like I’m coping or not, I’m setting up camp in my cave to avoid the unavoidable. And then my love is terrified, because she knows where I have gone.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT
any way you look at it.
And I'm not afraid
of you being afraid...
I'm deserving of effort

The truth in these lines is from the heart of an innocent child. We don’t need to organize a parade or form a group to applaud our uniqueness. We are the only ones another will be able to love unconditionally. Courage comes from being all in, as any child would be, despite the fear of non-acceptance.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Everything about your poem is open and honest and real. Beautifully done.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

With a gentle tone and rhythm, “Cryptogram” openly faces the internal conflicts all we children face as people we desire to be with yet loathe to stay with. We do scare them all away. Maybe it’s for the good of all. I stay in my cave. *Delight*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Tired"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

Relationship and love as desert gets right to the heart of matter. What is drier and more desolate? Barren? If there are tracks, then the winds haven’t blown strong enough yet and the monstrous pains that scar the sands must be fresh. Only pain is reflected here in the misery of desolation. But it is expressed in a reflective way, with each image there is a wonder at what has brought the poet to this place. We are not alone, just because there is no sound. Silence is deafening price paid in the wilderness when one other is near enough to sense, but desolate as well.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

The words trail along with a tone that is befitting the theme and circumstances that abound in a love that has grown cruel and egregious in every way.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT

The silence is deafening.
The complaints are willing.
You're my biggest threat
when threatening my biggest
fears.

Is it only in the closest of relationships that we must prick and probe until there is a bleeding to make our reality more comprehensible? So many of my friends never recover from their first love. And sometimes it is a wonder that any relationship can bear up under the abuses that come in the most "loving manner."

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

There were just two word issues in your poem. I believe the last word in the second line you meant to be “sand” and probably the second word in the 10th line would be “complaint.”

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* MORE INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

When attraction becomes more fossil and boogie man than actual affection, honor and respect, the tender words can become arid, turning the marrow of the bone to dust. The trek into this lifeless place was a reminder of the beauty and life I have been blessed with in my own marriage. I appreciate the images and tone of your piece that contrast magnificently against my own experience. Thank you.*Delight*

I enjoyed reading your work and I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words in "Cut Your Teeth"  inspired.
 
*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FIRST INSPIRATION *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I was drawn into your piece by the images, sound and rhythm of your poem. Wonderfully lyrical. The rhymes are often incidental and give the poem an unforced flow. The theme seems to be about dealing with life when there is too much time to reflect, and to much time to pose for the camera. Evil is not exactly all around. But there is something within that fusses with regret and it is weighted down by an inner tempest of "I've done something wrong here".

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* INSPIRED *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

I actually found the repetition of the lines “these idle hands….You’ve got yours” amusing and light against the “work” that goes on in the verses. The lines tie together the meanderings of thought that work through one’s soul issues and repeatedly remind me of the theme.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* FAVORITE MOMENT

Look out the window!
Check under the rug!
Where it all started
isn't where you begun.

The power of being drawn into a mighty search is conveyed in these few words. Unique and beguiling.

*Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown* SUGGESTIONS *Crown**Crown**Crown**Crown*

The complexities in this piece are subtle and wonderful to muse over. Nicely done.

Every word was something for my heart to ponder and I appreciate the lyrical way “Cutting Your Teeth” flows. Gritty and yet compelling. Thank you for sharing your gift.*Delight*

Review of The Rock Cycle

This is an "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group"  Springtime Review RAID Review!


Hello gummyhearts , 
 
I read with great interest your poem"The Rock Cycle " . I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words inspired.
 
*Coffeer* FIRST IMPRESSION
 
You have captured in your free form poem the essence of a heart, distant, cold, and dead. Each image sends my thoughts and feeling far away from the idea of love, companionship and life. The rhythm of each line continues to tie one thought to another from line to line. The words mesh somehow and are easy to feel as I embrace the metaphor of diamond as human heart.
 
*Coffeer* INSPIRED
 

The explosion creates a gem. And while it is unspoken, there still is the metaphor at work that from a geological stand point, something in the heart has become volcanic as well. Still not alive, but molten, hot and searing everything life-like in its path. The image possibilities between flowing lava and what is pumping life to the body are created beautifully in the line: “Something Precious.” It sets the stage, with no romantic froth, for the final images, where love no longer exists, but is rather a diamond buried forever.
 

*Coffeer* SUGGESTIONS
 
I would not suggest changing a single word. Painfully Exquisite. *Smile*
 
*Coffeer* SUMMARY
 
The theme and tone of your poem convey beautifully the human heart and emotions that almost found true love and eternal life. There are no tender memories in between the volcanic start of life and the rose covered grave. Definitely a unique, desperate view of what the end of love and earthly life sometime can be. Well Done.

 
Thank you for sharing your gift!! *Delight*

Kind Regards,

~Kenword~ *MugR*

Hello Sum1 , 
 
I read with great interest your poem"My Little Flower" . I am delighted to share with you some of my thoughts and feelings your words inspired.
 
*Coffeer* FIRST IMPRESSION
 
Your elegant poem takes a small metaphor and blows it up big enough to encompass the vision you have for love and marriage and eternal friendships. Super excellent in every way.
 
*Coffeer* INSPIRED
 

The theme of the poem builds beautifully as a flower at risk of perishing is brought home to a place of security to flourish and thrive. The tone, rhythm and rhyme of the piece is perfect. I especially appreciated the line lengths giving the poem the feel of a short story.
 

*Coffeer* SUGGESTIONS
 
I would not suggest changing a single word. Excellent! *Smile*
 
*Coffeer* SUMMARY
 
Man and woman together at last, able to enjoy the wonders discovered in the challenges life has given them, now have an emblem that will continue to bloom, even as their relationship has bloomed. You have definitely captured something beautiful from something that might have gone unnoticed and uncelebrated otherwise. Well Done.

 
Thank you for sharing your gift!! *Delight*

Kind Regards,

~Kenword~ *MugR*

Review of City Affair

Rated: E | (5.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*



Greetings blanip , Welcome To Writing.com! I was pleased to read  "City Affair"  from your portfolio and delighted to give it a review.
  
*Mugr* FIRST INSPIRATION

Your story for flash fiction is so well written that the troubling theme of the piece seems to fade behind the prose. 43 year old Gina’s problems are so far above those of my world I am jarred into her reality to wonder at her place in the new world and the forces that have crushed all of her relationships. The tone of the piece is edgy and dark, correlating perfectly with the terrifying world Gina now exists in. There is a nice flow and rhythm to the prose as well that keeps me reading though the darkness is almost too much to bear.

*Mugr* INSPIRED

The varied lengths of the sentences in your piece mix up the pace of the story nicely, helping the reader to dwell on the critical elements of the story. You have not wasted any words here. Each one puts me in the middle of Gina’s experience and I shudder with each line.

*Mugr* FAVORITE MOMENT

The first sentence is a gripper. Driving away from the burning, sets off a myriad of images. I grew up in a valley that was prone to at least one forest fire per summer. The smell of that month of fire was bad enough. What Gina is driving away from is even more foul. I can imagine the sickness always present in her core because of the burning.

*Mugr*SUGGESTIONS

I felt that every word was spot on. Well done.

*Mugr* MORE INSPIRATION

When all is lost and 43 is considered ancient, and everything around one is death and destruction for the sake of a new order, how does one find “fresh air?” This edgy story creates a terrifying landscape complete with a heroine desperate to run, yet trapped with the last images of her dying mother, and a transport that will not make the journey. I am drawn to the impossibility of the conflict, trapped myself, wanting and hoping for Gina to find her exit to peace. Well Done!!*Delight*

Review of A Difficult Child  
Review by ♫~ Kenword~♫
In affiliation with The Rockin' Reviewers  
Rated: E | (4.0)
*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*



Greetings Willie Dorr , Welcome To Writing.com! I was pleased to read  "A Difficult Child"  from your portfolio and delighted to give it a review.
  
*Mugr* FIRST INSPIRATION

In examining the life of a shipbuilder turned boat maker’s son, I am captured by the unique visuals and evenly paced narrative. The bright lights and stark white of a Grand Haven winter is the backdrop for the protagonist's first brush with death. Many are to follow. The tone of the story remains light and filled with hope. Each character has a unique flavor and it is easy to identify with all of the interactions that occur. Friendships built on odd agreements and lost on even stranger grounds is an element in the story that is so real, that it stirred many conflicting emotions in my soul.

*Mugr* INSPIRED

The protagonist’s mother is my favorite. She is tough, gnarly and not afraid to chide her son in the hopes of mitigating his fictions or as he says his “improving upon my life through the agency of fiction.” Hilarious.

*Mugr* FAVORITE MOMENT

All of the images were stellar, but I liked most the boy’s conflict with his former friend Tom and another boy named Bob. He actually thought that his mother would “…have been running those kids through the sausage mill.” Instead she was inclined to threaten her son with violence if he didn’t step up the fight. The interactions throughout the backyard scene are brilliantly clear and concise and sharply written. Very special. *Smile*

*Mugr*SUGGESTIONS

The story is extremely well done. My only suggestion would be to change the order of the beginning elements to put the story of the kitchen explosion first. This would be a bit more griping and get right to the essence of the child’s “difficult” nature. The snow scene at the beginning is beautiful and could be used as a reflection as to where difficulties actually began.

*Mugr* MORE INSPIRATION

The end of the story is very poignant and blends well with all of the other events that occur in the story. It brings into glorious focus the bond between father and son, no matter how distant the life together was, something tangible is always created and always remains. Well Done! *Delight*

Greetings Arglebarge , Welcome To Writing.com! I was pleased to read  "Session 1 (Lizard TF)"  from your portfolio and delighted to give it a review.
  
*Mugr* FIRST INSPIRATION

“Session 1” was, no doubt, the most bizarre story I have ever read. I congratulate you on your extreme powers of imagination, invention, while holding true to all the elements of excellent short story crafting, and fantasy creation. Wow!!

*Mugr* INSPIRED

When it became apparent that the therapist was not human, I was about to leave off the story and go on to something else, but the quality of writing and the stark contrast between Harry the patient/victim and Dr. Khala, was mesmerizing, and for a while I suspended some of my belief systems and sucked in some analytical literary juice to label it all a metaphor; rationalizations in place I kicked back to enjoy your prose. Yummmm.

*Mugr* FAVORITE MOMENT

I was most intrigued by the path you created for Harry to be transformed. It was at this point that I realized there would be no metaphor. Harry was going to be an entirely different being and you put everything together so beautifully that every nuance in Dr. Khala’s trance-weaving became believable and amusing. The concept of a female really “changing” a male into something she visualizes still makes me grin. Then again, mastery of the change is not always fruitful we learn, as the “new” Harry darts out the window without paying his bill. *Smile*

*Mugr*SUGGESTIONS

Structure, syntax, flow and tone of the story is wonderful.

There were just a couple of typos that I noticed:

In the third sentence: “One one wall of the waiting room was a portrait of a king cobra rendered with the kind of flourish that one would expect from a painting of a queen. I think you may have intended the first “One” to actually be ”On.”

And, in the sentence: “Do you have any questions before we being?” I think you may have intended “being” to actually be ”begin.”

*Mugr* MORE INSPIRATION

The stories that grab me the most take me into the world of the protagonist and sometimes that can truly be a weird experience. This was the weirdest yet!!! Thanks for the journey and the awesome adventure. Well Done! *Delight*

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*



Greetings mariamentor , Welcome To Writing.com! I was pleased to read  "Green Eyes"  from your portfolio and delighted to give it a review.
  
*Mugr* FIRST INSPIRATION

The touch of Isaac is now upon me and I find it hard to ignore his gaze. The tribute you have created for him is haunting and compelling, knowing that there is much to do to find an Isaac a place to be useful and safe. As the poem grips the soul to demand some action, the knowing comes that everything is being done. And Isaac is as much a result of that action as he is a victim of where he was raised.

*Mugr* INSPIRED

I appreciate how the images you have created eloquently speak of the role Isaac plays in the life all around him. While others may be concerned about his apparent destitution your tribute to the street child is that he is indeed being all he can be, while defying every system that has tried to deliver something different.

*Mugr* FAVORITE MOMENT

I like the lines “No one can save him now – He must survive to keep alive. – To wait for food until the setting sun.” There is something almost serene in this stanza, that speaks of a way of life, high impact rollers would never get, even if it was forced upon them. It would challenge their morality to live as Isaac…they might not be able to “wait”. *Smile*

*Mugr*SUGGESTIONS

I think your poem is compete in every way. I would not recommend changing a word.

*Mugr* MORE INSPIRATION

I flinched at the notions within your poem as the words and images rubbed up against my judgements about the seemingly disenfranchised of our society. I mean it’s a nice society isn’t it…if everyone would just find a usefulness and contribute…. But then there are the Isaacs for whom the system will consider flawed and as though he and they had failed. In the end, he is Isaac. He is my conscience and I will remember to thank him. This was a beautifully crafted tribute. Nicely Done! *Delight*
