Review of Coffee Stains

This sad tale about spousal abuse was heart breaking. It seems that more women than ever have been victims of such horrble nature. Some say more women tell their tales because they have friends and relatives to help do what they can. A man should never justify hitting a woman, yet violence goes on.

keep up the Good writing. I know that the story took alot of you to write about domestic Violence!'

I throughly enjoyed, "The Stronger side of friendship." This lovely and sweet poem portrays kindness, genteeness, she encouages others and friends that anything is possible if you work hard for what you want in your life and the lives of your children.

Sherri G. seems like a woman who understands the world and knows it is always changing.

Review of Bridges  
Review by Lesley Scott

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I liked the story by a Sunflower in Texas called " Bridges." The main character didn't trust bridges, but he built a fence around the apple trees and Mayple trees. Then he either noticed or just thought the bridge has been broken. "But it's enough to know the bridge has been broken by some random act of a loving God."

So the two lovers could not find a way to be together.

Review of The Cuckoo  
Review by Lesley Scott
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
I thoughly enjoyed the prose of "The Cukoo." The plot was for the fox and the snake to eat their eggs and/or the cukoo. But Ms. Cukoo was sharp and fooled the fox and the snake. She talked the fox into the thicket and the fox to the glades. I guess her intention was to separate her enemies.

Later, the fox and the snake met each other. They were agry and began to fight serously. "Before they both died they saw the cuckoo standing over them and they spent their last words."
-Alas, we are decieved! " They both unttered.

At the end of this story, the Cuckoo who was sly, the most subtle, and the most evil bird of all birds."

Well written, funny and unpredictable.

Thank you, Shannon, for your time and work you put into this project. The individual and I had just a misunderstood word in an e-mail. Then he was sending me ugly emails telling me about contests that he helped judge. He said he would never let me win. He made no difference, I won the contests any way.

Now we are on good terms and he's sending me points and good reviews.

I really do appreciate you and Jace giving me the help I needed.
Thanks!

Your poem, "Feel the Beauty of Nature," will touch everyone who reads this appropriate poem about what we have done in the past to nature and what we are doing today to help bring Mother Earth back to life. Nature, as we all know, is so fragile and anyting, large or small scaled affects the whole planted and we will be the next species to go extict.
Thank you for writing such an insightful poem.

Review of A Zephyr's Kiss

I liked the poem, "A Zephyr's Kiss." The poet tells us about the seas beauty and abundance and compares the ocean as a jewel. "faceted in perfection." But as the pollution, namely the oil companies, turn the ocean "celibate," it breaks the poets heart to see what he loved was dying right in front of everyone. eventually, the godsand goddesses and through their efforts, "She is renewed- her cadence restored and I am whole," says the poet. "Azure mist~a Zephyr's kiss~she breathes once more. The sea ~ adagio - Bravo!
And I am blessed."

This lovely poem called, "Broken," is about the breakup of a couple. The author says, "How could she throw back the heart that you gave turn her back to deny all that you crave?"The author, alone in bed says, "You toss and you turn wondering why. Why would this happen. Why would she lie?' I would say this guy may be a borderline stalker. His ex will hopefully find a boyfriend that can kick his butt.

Your funny story, "Mother's Day Tulips" painted a picture of what this morning is like in your household. Everyone was sitting on the sofa being quiet. I know that doesn't happen every day. I never did find out anyone's name mentioned in this story. I like to know who I am reading about and picture the characters in my mind. Maybe you had a reason for leaving out the names. The story was still the same.

Winnie,

The wonderful, tearful story you wrote, " Mom, Who Was My Dad?" touches me to my soul. Noni sure was "Hell on Wheels!" It is a shame more adults couldn't have her spirit, intelligence and attitude. Knowing her condition as she did, Noni may not be able to run track, but she sure had the heart!

In a million years, I never would have guessed that you and Steven were brother and sister. But I don't think it matters at all if you love each other so deeply that you can also be best friends.

Your serious story was not without a few light moments, like Noni's close monotoring the nurses. Another sentence I though was great and so descriptive. "She was surrounded by the white coats like geese pcking up seeds."

Most of all, Winnie, as you wrote, " The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt in the heart." That is so true, yet many people never give it a thought and the ones who know about some things must be felt with your heart, could care less.

Have you submitted any of your work to a magazine, just to start out and work your way up to a real Author? Womens' magazines are always hunting for feature writers or even copy setters. But so many people, men and women, read those magazines. I don't know how much you could make, but it would help put gas in your car!

Would you mind telling me how to post my mothers day reviews on the review page? This story would be so perfect! If you don't use it, whould you let me borrow it? I'll give you complete credit. I may need your last name. I'll be here for a long time trying to figure out how to move things to where they belong

Love, hugs and kisses!
L.

I can understand how difficult it must have been to write such a heartfelt story.

Review of Nonsense  
Review by Lesley Scott
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Your well versed and formatted poem called, "Nonsense," was funny and I also have the answers to most of your amphibian riddles. If a frog is placed in the dirt bank and the toad in water, the frog will rush to get back to the water so the sun won't dry our his skin. The toad, who is a good swimmer, may swim for up to an hour or until he is tired.

Also, the questions about when is a toad a toad and a frog a frog?" I am paraphrasing. They are both Amphibians, but different species. Frog breed in water, as a general rule and toads will breed anywhere. The male toad clasps the female tightly enough to make her eggs pop out. This stimulates him to release his sperm to fertilize her eggs. When the deed is done, he's off to find another female.

If a large male accidentally jumps on another male, the one on the bottom must give the "warning croak" or his insides will be coming out. The other frog thinks he is with a female because he didn't hear the warning croak.

Didn't mean to lecture. I am the South Carolina Herpeticology Society Secretary. We learn a lot from our guest speakers and everyone likes to bring huge snakes along. Some of them are too big for one person to hold. Check out my story in my port called "Giant Snake Holds Community Hostage." The story is completely true and not embellished in any way. You will read it as it happened.

The femminist writer of this letter, "A Femminist Letter to a close friend" wrote aboout all of the fun and adventures they loved. The person who sent this letter to her friend is also full of promises she will try to keep. She promised herself that she will be 'saved' one day." They sit on the rocks in the warm sun, saying nothing, each praying. But they aren't saved yet.

I, among friends, family and neighbors say, " Oh no! Here comes the Jesus Freaks again! Don't answer your door. But I am not rude and like to meet people different than myself, so I open the door. I tell them my ten feet long python is still missing. So I stand on the steps to chat.

When I tell them I am a Sage of the Tao and they look confused as they leave.

It seems to me that you think you are responsible to these people. You don't want to be mean and kick them out. You are doing the grocery shopping, as well as you can. Ya'll should take turns doing the grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning the house, even the toilet and put these rules in big letters at the top of the rules. Make the rules only a few fonts lower.

You are not helping them learn responcibility, on the other hand, you are reinforcing the habit of having someone to alway take care of them. I say evict them ASAP.

I checked over the Power Reviewers' Sig group. The main reason I don't have a sig is that there isn't much for me to choose from. I've been looking for that special sig, but I can't get back into the site. It was a beautiful picture of a whale and her pup. Does anyone else know how to find this? There are two whale sigs on two sites. They aren't offically sigs, but gave me permission to use them, not lose them. I'll keep looking when I take a break sometimes.
Don't forget to send me the picture or site these pictures came from. They are so perfect for an Animal Rights Activist.

Thank you, I wil have a sig soon and I hope ya'll will like my reviews

Sincerely,
Lesley

This contest was written just for me. But I deleted just the ones you would like. I have a couple of stories. One is being locked up in a nut ward. I don't think that is troublesome enough. I might send you one called, "Do you really know what you're eating?" In the meantime, I'll try to write something more suitable. I also have a close friend who is transgender. Not that it counts.

The story, entiled, "Weanling Cub" gave me the idea that a homeless cub would show up soon.During the first year of Kai'eyrein's first of leadership. He promised he would rule fear, as well as empathy and tenderness. Those are the things he felt is what makes a good leader."When pkaying with the other children, she could maintain her position with apparent ease.'

Since the bond wolf was good at playing mock battle. Two childfen hit the ground. At first, most of the children who played the mock battle game were surpised. As time passed, Aririk, was soon accepted into the group.

I am ernjoying this book, or the chapters. This one, " The Free People, " Is especiall chapter. No only did the catastrophy, cause a numbef of trees to break off of become uprooten, the people of the clan had a long amd dificult time ahead.

I may be wrong, but the two trapped people will form a special bond and maybe fall in love. In this clan, marrages are arraned fo all of the young women. Ayliah couldn't even manage their own affaifs. This responsibility fell to the man of the house.

Women were considered to keep having babies, keep their campfire glowing as well as to keep her man satisfied with her often reluction, making loved for more babies. No woman said, " No" to their master. I was a mans' world.

This is a wonderful story, set in another time when people were still savage and treated women like cattle. Ayiaj was not very pleased when her father announced her engagement to the son of a father who would be rich someday.

Ayiah was hurt because, no one mentioned the betrowal until her father announced the union. In her crowd, women where considered chatel, meant to have babies and take care of the home and cooking. Aiiah was a better hunter than a good wife.

She was not pleased that the women could not responsible, not even the shares of her own shares that she owned. After he could stand an walk slowly, the rescued man. She wanted to know more about their customs. Her father, as well as Gerimani, where unhappy with the situation. At this time, Ayiah was determined to learn more about his tribe.

This is a good story and I suggest anyone who can handle the story should read it and read the story to their family.

This lovely poem, " How to love you," is about a lonely person wanting to find true love. She has been hurt a number of times and is a bit horseshy. The author mentioned falling in to the fire, even if they'll be burning. Every one of us wants to find everlasting love. Some find love and some don't.

This good article make a lot of sense to me. We recycle and have to use newpaper bags for the landfill. It' not okay to those who don't have a negative effect on our planet. We should all do what we can to end this visious cycle. One of our neighbors, too lazy to put his leaves into a bag, burns all of his trash. I can spell the plastic burning. I always call the Fire Station and they give him a warning. After reporting him a number of times, he hasn't burn damp leaves and leave the fire to burn.

Don't be afraid to report situations like this and cruelty to animals. No one has to know who reported the fire.
"We don't wanttp wake one dau swimming in our in our own crap. do we?" I believe this could happen if we nurture our planet.

This was, indeed, a bitter sweet story of lost members of the author's family, her father passing away so close to Christmas. Granny, now dead as well, was not there to make her special Christmas cakes and cookies.

But the author decided to make sure the rest of the family should have a merry Christmas. That is what Mom and Grandmother would have wanted.

Your short story, "Creative Inspiration part two," was a good read. I didn't know ghosts could be killed. The story was well written and the story flowes, as well. I think the dialogue was realistic and the subject about a haunted house was not the usual ghost story.

I liked your short story, " Not Coming." I think everyone has been through such a let down. I get the feeling the main character is depressed, but does talk her selt into feeling better for a while. The last line sum is all up, " And I sit there at my desk waiting in my skirt and top. And then I realise. He's not coming." She can either be crushed and depressed. Hopefully she picks herself up and knows someone else with come along.l
