I do so enjoy all of your writing and wonder how you find time. In this poem, "Mother, Will you be Mine?" is another example. I pictured myself as the daughter, writing this. I am going to remember this poem and give it to her with your byline and blessings. Besides, my mother knows I don't write poetry. "Mother, will you be mine? When you are dead and gone. And no longer with us, Mother, will you still be my mother?" That is great!

To me, I see no glaring mistakes on grammar and spelling.

Your Friend,
Gator Girl

read " 'Gator in the Road or Losing my Head," It is a great alligator tale. I have it in my port because I'm not ready or can I find the right contest. So I am telling my friends.

Your story, " Is crearivity Enough," opened my eyes, but not for the first time. I know how hard it is to accomplish goals when faced with tough opposition. I liked your quote, " Anybody who knows anything about organisations knows how hard it is to get things done, let alone to introduce new ways of doing things, no matter how promising they seem." Isn't that the truth!

Keep up the good work!

Your story about Courtneyd"Green Beans and Manners," made me laugh out loud and I chuckled when I read it to my husband. I was worse than Courtney. Many a time, I was left at the table because I would't eat certain vegetables. Green beans were at the top of the list! I usually through the offending food into the garbage can.

I was a wise ass. but not as funny when Courtney told her mother, " Well, no thank you Mommy. I don't want to eat green beans."

Your poem, "If only I had Known," was sad and a bit disturbing. The thought of such a sweet child should suffer so. You got out by joining the Navy. There was nothing you could have done to change the things that happened in your home town. It is sad that that poor child grew up the hard way and died drunk and alone.
Keep up the good work!

This was a very emotional story to write. I wrote one called "Love Forever Lost." It was about my fiance dying in a fire as I was at work, making wedding plans when no one was around. The funeral was the worst experience, but I'm glad now that I went. Like you, I felt his presense clearly. I always had the feeling he was always with me, sending me his love.
Again, thanks for writing this story for me.

Your story, "The last Goodbye," was very touching to me. You are a brave soul and were a wonderful daughter. I am sure he was so proud of you. Everyone was right. He did live a good long and happy life.
My parents already made their plans with the funeral home. They are both in their 80s and healthy. I have anxiety attacks when I have to live without my mother and father. But, like you, I'll put on a brave face. Thanks for writing this story for me.

Review of The Jesus Lizard  
Review by Lesley Scott
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
I enjoyed your story, "The Jesus Lizard." Your mother must have also been an animal lover. Mine was the exact opposite. I had a five foot long iguana and they are never supposed to have any animal protein. I fed her a variety of veggies, fruits and bathed her every day. She was mean to everyone but me.
I am sorry, but once I found out your lizard ate pinkies, I would take him back before the day was over. That's why I don't keep small snakes. I don't keep large ones for obvious reasons. Your story brought back memories of herps I've kept and those I knew. Reptiles are fascinating --- as long as they are turtles, iguanas, Tegus, and a few others.
Keep up the good work!

Review of That's you

From what I understand, "That's You," is a loved poem. It is written my a young lady who loves him dearly, but is afraid to let him know how she feels. He is either completely aware of what he thinks is just a crush. She is in a quandry about telling him her feelings. She wrote a poem about love. I think she should give it to him.

I like the whole idea of this group spreading a positive message. There is so much out there, but not enough of the groups seem to be promoting positive thinking. Even though I often write stories about pollution, what are we eating and expose factory farming, I'm positive it will improve. I have a need to help people. If I do have to write something like that, which is not likely, I won't let anyone know I'm with the "Symply Positive Groupe.

Review of God Help Me  
Review by Lesley Scott
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
I enjoyed your poem, "God Help Me." The tone was one of sensitivity from the husband to his wife's problems. "God Help Me," was all that she would say to her husband as her lips trembled. How can I help? I'm not God.I don't know what to say. God help me. God tell me what to say. It was an emotional poem without all of the hysterics and fighting.

Review of Poaching

I enjoyed reading your story, " Poachers." Though I am one of those animal rights activists. and truly disapprove of sports hunting and night hunting (except for coons). Still I did like your story. The descriptions were clear and painted a picture of what it is like in the woods after dark. But one of the mistakes you and your friend made was drinking. A serious hunter never drinks before or during a hunt.

I liked your enchanting fantacy about the Salkers. Though revered and well-treated, the Salkers kept everyone alilve if they could. Kleas was exuberant when the Stalker he met recruited him to the special group. The Stalker told him to cover his back while he looked for an item he needed in a junk yard.

When the Gerlas first attacked, their main target was Kleas. He knew the horrible animals would tear him apart and carry him away. He yelled at the Stalker to run. At least oone of them would live and by all accounts, the Stalker was needed.

The last thing Kleas heard was the alarms going off in the city. No doubt, the Slayers would take care of the problem.

Keep up the Good Work!

I am so pleased that I found the June Newsletter for "Non-humans." It was written well and gave me information I didn't know about. Though the dictionary may say something else about we non-humans, the Big Bad Wolf's definition is more appropriate. My name is Gator Girl, though I don't spend much time with my non-human friends. I will certainly do so now!

I wrote a really exciting story about a huge alligator that I had to move off of a two laned highway. He took up both lanes! It isn't corrected yet, but keep an eye out. I may enter it in one of the contests.

Review of South Carolina  
Review by Lesley Scott

I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. It is the land of the swamps and marshes. I've even written about alligators I encountered. Your language is fairly on the mark, but not once did you use our common southern expression, " Y'all." I also doubt that Quincey would have said, " father," in stead of "Daddy." But, as always there are exceptions to all rules. I'm sure the folks that live elsewhere in the south speak and write as well as you. I liked the story. It was a good length and you were able to tell the story. I don't like real long stories, I have ADHD and Bipolor Disorder, so I get bored when I read something that is more than a few pages long. You are a good writer. Keep up the Good Work!

Your Friend,
Lesley

Itch,

I love raffles and like to send the tickets to my friends. Sometimes I get their names wrong, but remember email addresses. Let me know if I need to change the names of anyone. I don't participate in the activities like raffles and auctions like I should. I usually forget, or just don't cut on my computer much. The weather is so beautiful here, in South Carolina and I've worked in the garden a lot. I also have critters to take care of and enjoy.

I will try to be more active and take the time to check on what you have going one.

Your friend,
Lesley

This story brings out the emotion of sadness at first. Kyle was so empty without his father. I am always afraid of losing my parents and would cry forever. Kyle is smart and brave and had the courage to go to the place on he and his father used to go regularlly. The ending was happy. Now Kyle has a reason for living, married to Gabby. I loved the quote, ""...We aren'y here for long but the important thing is we were here."

I like your website and I enjoy reading history books, though not any or many on the Civil War. I read a lot of the "Tao Te Ching," a good bit on Native Americans, and books by Carl Sagan, Dawkins, Chrisopher Hictichins. I love "How the Mind Works," "Quantum physics," and "The Self-Aware Universe," to mention a few. I love Murder Mystery books.
I will try to read up on the Civil War, but I'm in Historical Charleston, SC. People down here are still fighting the war. I've heard some people say we should bring back the KKK. We do have a lot of real history like the wonderful old buildings and the lovely city. Come visit us.

I hope my entry won't be disqualified. I wrote about the side of General Lee seldom dwell on. He was still a bastard, but I don't think anyone is ALL bad. I also mentioned Stonewall Jackson. That's in one of the prompts.Since you are looking for war stuff, I don't think I can win this one. I tried all day to make sure it was correctly written.

I really feel like this blogging contest is going to grow and fast. It is interesting, funny as Hell and the music breaks are fun. I even like most of them, myself. I want to enter this contest and I will enter it soon. I am not as proficient with words, yet, but I'm better than I was when I joined WDC!

I loved reading the first part of your "What Does Love Create 1." This one was so full of wisdom, insignt and love. Some of my favortie quotes are: " Death is part of life." and about..." holding onto death so strongly, like it is a precious thing that we can create." Most of us probably deal with that somehow.

What does love create? "There is love in everything as long as you wait for it and look for it."

My favorite quote is, "Love creates life, It binds up brokenness. It shouts belonging. It wraps around us like the morning mists covering the lake and waiting for the possibilities of a new day." That is beautiful!

Do you mind if I jot down that last paragraph? I want to tack it up on my bulletin board where I put things I find inspiring. If you don't want me using it, I won't be mad.

Oh, I wrote that big alligator story, finally. Every time I read it, I find something that needs changing. After living through that adventure, nothing anyone can write would do it justice. I don't have it in my port yet. When the time is right, I'll put it in.
Love, Lesley

Hi, Maryann, I keep getting distracted and not reviewing the items I am supposed to review. It's easy for a person with ADHD to get sidetracked! I just wanted to let you know that I've seen a lot of sigs and most of them, to me, waste a lot of space. I hate to keep scrolling, scrolling and scolling.Yours is perfect for my tastes. I also feel good, looking at the stars and the color, purple is my favorite color. If I close my eyes and see purples and greens, I know my brain is working right.

Love you and don't ever stop being yourself,

Review of Stay

I think "Stay" is a very good poem about love and love lost. I know how that feels. The poem, itself, is very well written and brings emotions to the readers. The verses are all filled with emotions, such as one of the lines, "How can love make one feel so sick." I can, I know.
Keep on writing!
