Hello, again BBW. I do really do enjoy your style and your good,reviews. Sorry I haven't review. it sooner. I was sick for a while and it isn't easy to wrtie. Your poem, to me, was romantic and many of us probably thought it was writing for them, I am sure. I will review again.

Review of Coven

Hello,
I just finished reading "Coven." I admire you being able to convey such description in only 100 words! I can't even write a note to a friend that short. The subject is great and at first, I thought it was going to be another Salem incident. I laughed at myself when I realized she was a queen.
Keep it up!

Review of Dead Man's Alley

Hello, I just finished reading your very short story, "Dean Man's Alley." It is a cool story and you did a good job, almost painting a picture. The end was a surprise, and I thought it was funny, though I know it isn't. I did notice a couple of small Boo Boos,unless that you wrote it that way on purpose. But I always use an h and the end of yea. I think it should be Yeah in both lines. Also when you described so well, the prisoners walking, the end of the sentence about things being thrown at them, I am thinking it should be and worse.

You show talent.
Keep writing!

Hello, Friend,

I just had the priviledge to read the last two chapters of your book. It is so enchanting, no pun intended. I am amazed that you are able to have so many different characters, yet each one is alive and real. I do love that Ratalosk, the squirrel. He is very clever. After thanking the valkyries, Silje is ready for more adventures!
Great Story, Jimmy!
Yours,
Lesley

Hello,
I just finished reading, "You are what you eat." You are right about eating healthy meals. However, the food you are eating may not be as healthy as you think. I have done a lot of reasearch about factory farming and not only are the poor animals brutalized, but are fed growth hormones, as well as arsenic to make chickens grow faster.

If you could see a slaughter house, you would't be able to look at meat again. The animals are kept in filthy mud lots to wait their turn for a hammer between the eyes once or twice. The rest of them see this and know what their fate will be soon. Sometimes a cow may die in the pen, but that's what a good old forklift is for --- to carry the carcass over to be butchered.

As I mentioned, I have read about six books on the subject about how America raises its food, even greens. Theses days, eating is like a crapshoot.

Keep up the good work,
Lesley

Happy Holidays for you,ours is all about how my Christmas goes. My Mother knows I'm always broke, so she always buys my presents. I have a Belk card. Of course the money investment APR is high. What would I do if she were gone! My daddy sits and watches golf or another sport, and that is all he does. He's lilke teats on a boar hog.

So my Christmas will be fun anyway. I am looking forward to the Holidays.

I noticed almost every monster was voted human. They blend into a troubled person, groom him, do all sorts of toture and kill their victom. Most of the most horrible "monsters,' claim they don't know. Gary Ridgeway, the Greenriver killer, said, "it's that caring thing." None of there serial murders stop killing until they are caught. Usually the killer gets more enjoyment and make a mistake.

These monsters can be any one you know!

Hello Friend,
I am not much of a cross word person, but I've somtimes done well and not so good. The last time, in the hosptial, one of my new friends asked me, "What is the color of a horse starting with "R?"

I didn't skip a beat and told him, Roan." That was a hard answer, and some people my never figure it out. But being so extetensive ADHD, cross words pussle me to death. I may see what I can do later. I'm working on three conests.

Love,

This is a great story. I liked the way you turned the contest into one person. The story was well written.
He did some pretty brave things, as well. Your interesting story is a winner. I loved the ending, "Out of the new silence came a booming voice,'you are in helll. This is the seventh day of eternity'. ", That is so cool!

I just finished your short poem, "The Punishment of Man." I have never read a poem about the Greek gods before. I took mythology in college, but that was a long time ago. The characters are my favorites, especially Aphrodite. But Zeus is very cool, as well.

We named some our horses and mules after the Greek Gods. Athena, Atlas, Arachni and Thor were their names. They may actually be Viking names, but I am fairly sure they were Greek names. Athena lived to be thirty three years old.

I also enjoyed the dialogue between the gods. It all sounds like something they would say. I especially like the ending when Hermes said, "There is only one trouble that we have that humans so not have."
The rest of the gods agreed that man needing a woman for trouble!

"Hermes, fetch the clay."

Anyway I did enjoy your poem and it made me chuckle. I am going to read it to my husband when he gets home from work in a couple of hours. He writes poetry. I mainly write non fiction stories about my animal adventures.

Your Friend,
Lesley

Keep up the Good Work!

Hello, CarliLoves To Write,

I just finished reading your great poem about the Black Stallion. I gave it five stars. I found the poem very original and I want my husband to read it, as well. He loves poetry and even writes poems about me and my escapades. One of your lines, "He goes back to racing the wind, although he has already won," was one of many that stood out.

I used to raise horses, donkeys and mules, so your poem really touched me. I live in the city now, and had to sell off my herd. I gave my Belgian mare to a good friend and my half arab mare. Gertrude (I wrote a story about her) died at age 25 and Athena made it to 33 years. I miss all of my livestock. I wrote a couple of stories about my spotted mule, Top Hat 'n Tails He won the Versatility Hall of Fame twice.

Do you have any horses? You really do love horses. One of friend's black stallion was in the movie, "The Black Stallion" as a stand in. His name was Jerico and he is a lovely horse. My favorite horse was my Tennessee Walking horse. She was so smooth I could ride her all day.

Again, I loved your poem.

Keep up the Good Work.

I will read more of your port when I have time. I spend a lot of time outside with my critters.

Review of Roscoe's Pictures  
Review by Lesley Scott
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello, again, Boston,

The photos you sent are great. You must live in a beautiful place. I like the rooster picture, among others. I have four laying hens. We bought them when they were a day old. We had eight, but only four were hens. My friend, Beverly, who lives on a great farm took them off my hands. We now live in the city and poultry and livestock are illegal to keep.

So we don't dare have a rooster. He would awaken the neighbors, whose houses are quite close. They know about the hens because we give awat a lot of eggs. But they all like the chickens and as long as nobody calls and complains, we have no problem. The girls can make a lot of noise sometimes.

I love your pictures of the wonderful sunset and tropical photos. Where do you live? I live in Charleston, SC and our winters are mild. So we always have flowers and vegetables in our raised bed garden. We also walk about four miles a day. The insects never die off.

How did you post your pictures? I have a few more of me and the buffalo and a wonderful picture of humpback whales. I would like to use the whales as my sig, but I don't know how to do it, and have asked several people. No one seems to know, either.

It is supper time and then bed time. I am in bed before nine o'clock and wake up early. I have a lot of chores and animals.

Again, I love your pictures and gave you five stars. I rarely give more than three or four stars.

Bye for now,
Your Friend,
Lesley

Hello, again!

I just finished reading your funny story, "There Could be Tigers." I found it both interesting and also could identify with Jason. I am a bit of an agoraphobic, myself. I thought is was great that Jason finally found a loyal friend. Most people will ignore any one with a disability. I have Bipolar and when I am depressed, I don't even get dressed.

If you make it to my port, the alligator story, "'Gator in the Road" you may want to read. Almost all of my stories are true, and I write about unusual experiences. I don't have any tiger stories. Really, the ending was a great twist!

I loved your story!'

I just finished reading your poem and I think it is beautiful. I don't write poetry, I just go by how it makes me feel. I have always enjoyed your writing and poems. This one made me feel like I was outside, relaxing. It is a great substitute for therapy.

Hi,

I just finished reading your story, and I liked it a lot. The details and character kept me wanting to read your story. I loved your description of Star muching grass. I used to keep a herd of equines and lying on the ground, listening to their muching was relaxing. The fescue grass made their breath smelled wonderful. Again, I loved your detail.

Keep up the Good Work!

I think this will be a very successful contest. The pronpts may not deal with anything I can write about. The story I just sent is only slightly erotic, and I am up against a lot of talent. I just don't have any erotic thoughs in my head.

I will enjoy ebtering, wether I will or not win. I can learn more from the other contestancts.

Hello, I just finished reading your excellent story about an elderly woman, who is celebrating her one hundred and twentyth birthday. She told her great grand daughter that she would miss her birthday celebration. She wanted to finally meet Jesus face-to-face.

When Nataie's parent arrived, Granma had died in her sleep, a smile on her face. Instead of making me sad, this story brings joy to me that I will eventually meet Jesus when it is time.

Keep up the good work!

Hello,

I just finished reading your poem, "Iridescent Wing." The rhyme and descriptions were very good, I thought. The bird pecking at your window is supposed to be bad luck as I have heard. I liked the quote, "Mercy can be a beautiful thing, when displayed on iridescent wing."

Keep on writing.

I just finished reading your short story, "Believing in God." I am not super relgious myself. I think all religions have the same end and their own version of God. I also think the power of prayer is true. I meditate for my prayers. I also never ask for anything. I just "pray" for strength."

Keep up the Good Work!

Hi, Purple,

I just finished reading your excellent short story, "Passing Trains." Elizabeth became a real person only after a few sentences. Your description of the little boy on the train was also believable. The story had an interesting ending with Elizabeth's deep feeling. That is what I thought about your poem. I'm not a poet, but know what I like.

I just fishished reading your excellent piece of poetry, "Stormy Mind." I see a lot of that within myself, too.

I especially liked the last verse, " I know I have no clude what it all means for me; I wonder if the two of us will ever be; I fear more hurt is all I will incur...And choose to suffer through it all for a chance with her." That is so romantic. Maybe the chartacter should approach her and just say "Hi," and your name. At least she is alive, my only love is gone for good in a housefire.

I just finished reading your story about, "My Entry ---WDC's Birthday. So far, your writing is different from the others I've been reading. It is straight to the point and wishes ?WDC a Happy Birthday. Most of us wrote stories that took a lot more words and paragrphs to set up their stories. You a have a good chance of winning, as you probably know by now.

I enjoyed reading your story about "Thems that Walk Among us." The couple should have pained extra for a realtor. The parade of potential buyers were nuts that all they could do was find fault with the condo. The part about the strange lady, rubbing against the wall, making orgasmic noises because she needed a certain kind of paint was a real side spitter. I felt bad for the couple who couldn't find a buyer, but the story was just too funny!
