Review of Hope...  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: E | (4.5)
I found your poetry interesting... a pleasant surprise, as I wasn't expecting a proposal.

I found your introduction intriguing as I too know what a "red letter day" is about... since His Words are written in red in the New Testament portion of the Bible, should we own a "red letter" edition.

Your word choices conveyed your feelings quite well. I found your work focused and captivating.

Great photographs. It was nice of you to share them with us. I can see why you want to go back. What a beautiful place. Auf weidersehen. (I'm struggling to remember my German...)

Review of Forever Yours  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: E | (4.0)
I found this a sad farewell.

Here: "But death rends the vail..." "Vail" s/b "veil."

I liked your poem. I found great potential.

However, here:
"I'm falling to pieces with no one to catch them,
I need you to mend my hearts ripped hem." I wasn't sure what you were saying. The meaning wasn't clear to me.

I enjoyed the word play as well as the harsh reality of your writing here; appropriate descriptions made images clear.

Review of Dead Eyes Alive

Wow, you have a lot to say... I enjoy reading your work. One can't help but be provoked --- to think about what you're saying and to almost study while reading it.

Thank you for sharing with us... your heart and soul.

Well, I found this very deep --- a little too deep for me; yet I enjoyed the reading of it, the flow of your words and the pictures they paint.

As a writer, I found this very solemn.

Thank you for sharing this...

Welcome words for this weary traveller. I enjoyed the reading of this immensely.

Your words are nicely poetic, as well as focused and clear. Each line feels appropriately in its place and balanced within the whole.

Thank you.

Review of Tibby  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
TIBBY is a wonderful story, and you convey it with heart-felt passion and compassion.

The story progresses nicely, flows smoothly and has a nice melancholy tone throughout, which I found both captivating and embracing. (I was there.)

Also, I found this both thoughtful and thought-provoking. I couldn't help but think about the beloved pets I've known throughout my life.

Thank you for sharing this awesome story.

Thank you very much.

I found this sort of a tribute to those of us (probably most if not all of us) who have been broadsided by a mean or undeserved low rating/review.

I found your writing focused and meaningful. The rhythm and rhyme gave it a nice cadence.

"Memorable" defined this for me --- not easily forgotten --- the poem, I mean. (I think I'll add this one to my favorites so I can laugh again when I get a review that shoves me back.)

Thank you.

The indent feature might make for a better presentation of your work here. When you post or edit your work, there is a place just above the posting place in blue, click on it and you will find you can change the font type, size, indent, underline, italicize, etc., all of which are very useful.

Here: "to far down the path of death." "To" s/b "too."

Here: "even though she couldn't se it, she knew it was there and that it was real." You accidently left an "e" out of the word "see."

Here: "Niveus, snow, his name, it fit him so well, so perfectly. So cold." Is his last name "Snow?" If so, you don't need the comma after "Niveus" and "Snow" should begin with a capital letter.

Here: "Was their time out already?" I'm not sure "out" is the best word ---- it seems a little out of context with the other wording used throughout. You might rethink your word usage here. I would suggest maybe "Was their time over already?"

I'm cutting this short because my cable is going out...

Review of keys to the known  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: E | (4.0)
I found this piece interesting..., yet a little difficult to understand.

Your rhythm and pace flowed smoothly throughout, and you captured and held my attention.

In your last line "lyes" s/b "lies."

You gave me goosebumps with this one... I'm looking forward to that day.

I found your rhythm and rhyme worked very well throughout. You remained focused with a smooth flow of words, line after line --- drawing the reader to the final, delightful line.

It sounds like basketball maybe?

Interesting and passionate piece of poetry. I sense a strong competitive spirit mixed with sadness over defeat.

After reading your poem, I'm provoked to encourage you not to be so hard on yourself. Remember to have fun... =)

Review of Funeral March  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: E | (4.0)
Here: "...like the shadows under the oak tree;" maybe remove "the" before "shadows."

Here: "As I place the wreath
upon the cold, heartless gravestone
and forcing my dejected feet
to lead me away..."
I think you missed something in editing. I believe the "and" before the word "forcing" should be removed.

I believe if you take another look and tighten this up a bit, removing unnecessary words, this piece would have greater impact.

Very nicely done. You capture the reader with your vivid descriptions.

"A secret strategy for keeping a balance." I wonder if you meant to say "keeping balance," here.

I'm sure there is a lot of depth to this piece; but it's hard to grasp. If your intent/meaning was clearer, I would have enjoyed it more.

Review of Abstract Blue  
Review by Maria Mize
Rated: E | (4.5)
"The cold, monotonous shades of blue I paint remind me that always." You need an "of" after "me," before "that always..." for clarity.

"Bombs were dropped down..." Here the word "down" is unnecessary because it is understood. "Dropped" implies down due to the laws of gravity.

Here: "Slowly, I drag my feet along the ground, barefooted." "Barefooted" should be simply "barefoot;" the "-ed" is unnecessary.

Here: "The rhythm of the dark, dazzling blue waves beckons to me..." the word "to" is unnecessary.

Here: "It is as terrified as those of a cornered rat, brimming with tears." This sentence lacks clarity, seems a little misplaced. As the reader, I wonder whose eyes?
--------------------------------
The storyline and focus of ABSTRACT BLUE is clear, captivating and easily followed. Your words flow in a soft rhythmic pattern --- gentle as a flag blowing in a soft breeze.

Nice work!

In my opinion, the first three lines are great --- your conversational tone gives this piece strong impact.

The next two lines follow well; then the rhythm and rhyme (maybe too much of it) seems to overtake and detract somewhat --- at least for me.

I found the substance here phenomenal. Thank you!
