Review of The Darkest Month

*Vine2* Hello! ~LifeLessons~ here to review this story for the Anniversary Raid power reviewers!*Vine2*



The Darkest Month


This is a compelling story you have here. So many tragedies in such a short time. You have the main character talking to his or her father throughout. I love this because you express the anger and hurt you feel for his illness. The narrator follows through with details of every moment throughout the beginning to the end.
I have felt these emotions myself and wrote true to them. I felt every minute of panic, anger, fear, and grief.

Even when you go from past to present,from thought to dialogue I was never lost or confused. You did this very well. I found your spacing great and made it very easy for me to read. There were no mistakes that I noticed but I was so into the story I could have missed a couple. Nothing to even worth mentioning.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful but sad story. It has inspired me to write of my own experience.
Keep writing.

Hi! ~LifeLessons~ here to review this story for the Anniversary Raid of power reviewers!

Reflections


This story is of a woman Mrs. D who has had her fair share of anguish and obstacles. I love stucco houses! They have character. I think we all go through change in our lives and sometimes there is no choice but to let go. You told her life story and in the end describe her worry of not being able to update her home for sale.*GiftT*
You tell this story in a very narrative manner. Your observations. I know you would like to change a few things so I have a couple of suggestions for you.*GiftT*

You have the details of a story that can be told, but you want it to feel. So I would start the story of the stucco home from the beginning.*GiftT*
example. I see this stucco house down the street from me and I can only imagine the great dreams it held. The owners being from another place in time who were young and eager to achieve dreams. I have lived here long enough to see the slow changes of a home of happy dreams to walls that hold grief and hard ship.

This is only a suggestion but with deeper feeling about the house itself.*GiftT*

Thank you for sharing this story and I would love to read it again if you choose to revise it.*GiftT*
Keep writing!

Review of Edge of Sanity

Hello! LifeLessons here to review this piece for the Anniversary Raid!

*ButterflyG* *ButterflyG* *ButterflyG*



Edge Of Sanity

I felt so badly for you as I read this. I could not imagine being in such a dark place. It is hard to review something that is real and so delicate. You wrote this with such convention and deep feeling. I can only say that I wish you well and I hope you have recovered somewhat since writing this.

I have always found that writing is a great way to healing. to get your feelings out and sometimes when I write in my personal journal without putting it out there. I burn it after. Just writing it helps and I re read it and let it go.

I can tell that the words came easily for you because it is real and when stories are real the reader can pick up on the emotions.

I wish you well.
Keep writing.

*Vine2* *Vine2* Hello! ~LifeLessons~ here to review this awesome story!


*Bookopen* My impression


Wow! I love Jane Austen and you have taken this to another level. I love it. I did notice that this is part seven so I think I have some reading to do! This would be quite a little soap opera from back in the day. A great spin on going back in time. Although I have not read the first six parts I have a great idea that you did just as well as this one.


*Books1* Characters *Books1*


It seems that Megan and Jennifer find themselves back in time to learn from Jane the great gift of her writings and story telling. Running to Mr. Darcy is quite a treat I would imagine. I think these two girls will have a story to write just on this little trip back into time alone. Quite a surprise for Mr. Mitchell and for Jane. I can't wait to see what happens here.


*Books2* Final Thoughts *Books2*


Due to the fact that I have not read this from the beginning I am so glad I found this piece. I will want to read the first six parts. This leaves this review a bit sparse but I think you did a great job here. You have taken many stories of the past and rolled them into one introducing the amazing characters from older stories. Clever!!!

Thank you for sharing this!!

Review of Death, Stay Away

Rated: E | (4.5)
*Vine2* *Vine2* Hello! ~Lifelessons~ here to review your poem of Death Stay Away! *Vine1* *Vine1*


*Reading* As I read this poem I see someone who is struggling with time. Growing tired but not ready to give in just yet. Pleading with God to give the narrator more time to finish her deed at task.

I many conventions in the poem and they ones that make a poem complete with an easy flow of expression.
*BurstV* Metaphor:
You see me staggering beneath my load,


*BurstP* Hyperbole:

I won’t fight when we reach the end,
You really won't fight in the end. It really is not possible when our time has come. This makes the poem hold a deeper emotion for the reader.

*BurstG* Sound Repetition

And slowing down, grow quite weary

Using similar sound repetition gives a pleasing sound as I read through this stanza.

*BurstBL* Consonance

I’ve unfulfilled dreams and schemes.

using dreams and schemes with in the same sentence

This is a wonderful poem which I enjoyed very much. I think anyone who thought their end was near would reflect upon what they have not finished in life. *Angel*

*Vine1* *Vine1* Hello! ~Lifelessons~ here to review this piece of visionary *Vine1*

*Leaf2r* You write this little story as if you were writing as you were walking. I imagine you are from Canada as am I. so I connecting very well to the Canada geese and the white tail buck.
The simple pleasures we get to enjoy.
I could smell the turkey and the bread. I love homemade bread, however I cannot compete with my mother's recipe. No sir!

*Leaf2o*
I read this story with great ease because life experiences are the best to put into words. The visuals speak volumes of your true experience of what lays before us to enjoy.

*Leaf* I don't see any room for improvement, only that is was longer because I enjoyed it. You painted a picture of a walk that stays in the memory for a long time. One of those things that will never change but one we look forward to.

thank you for sharing this with us.

Hi, Hi, Lifelessons here:
*Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* : *ButterflyV*



What I thought of your title:

Well this title certainly works well for this chapter.

*BurstP*The positive aspects:

You really started with a great hook that drew me into the story right away. It held my attention with a great visual and emotional feeling as I read. There was suspense, action, and thrill.

I enjoyed how descriptive you wrote all through the story. In the beginning I thought this seventeen year old was a stripper. Good for you, this was a hook. As I read on and realized there was way more to this girl's experience than I would have imagined.
The thought of having a greater force right at the tips of my fingers is a nice feeling. If only, right? Love the imagination here and you carried it well through out the chapter.

You left me wanting to read more even at the end. So if this is your first attempt at a first chapter to a book, well done.

*BurstP*Items of improvement:

I don't see anything to improve upon. You wrote this with clarity and it read easily. Your spacing was perfect and I did not notice any spelling mistakes.

*BurstP*Overall thoughts:

I really enjoyed this story and I hope your second chapter goes just as smoothly. Thank you for sharing.

*Vine2* *Vine2* Hello! It is me, ~LifeLessons~ and I am here to review this piece. *Vine2* *Vine2*

I loved this title! It reads of magic and fantasy.


I really enjoyed this story that takes place in Percepia.

Princess Whitney Midashand being taken as prisoner from the kingdom of Sabara is being held in the highest tower.
The rescue of the princess is a marvelous story that reminded me of a fairy tale that a young girl would enjoy to read. *Vine2*
You describe her saving grace of a tailor with wings. He went way and beyond what he thought he was capable of doing to save the Princess. *Vine2*
The whole story of the snake and how Daedus deals with his circumstance. Which could have been a deadly one. He uses his head and manages to escape with the princess in his arms.
I loved the ending!! They get married with the blessing of the King and Daedus is welcomed into the royal family. *Vine2*

My Thoughts


You used a great imagination and told a great story of a fairy tale. I enjoyed this very much and I know why it holds an award.
I hope to read more of your story telling because I am sure you have more to write.
Thanks for sharing.

*ButterflyV* Hi, LifeLessons here!! Stopping by to review this piece.*Vine2* *Vine2* *Vine2*

*Vine2* What i enjoyed about the title:
This is a title that drew me in to read on. It suits your poem quite well.

*Vine2* What I enjoyed about this piece

I enjoyed the story told in this poem. A man who didn't take chances therefore never found a true passion. He finds a girl who loves him and bares three daughters. His purpose in life becoming the important.

This poem holds many conventions that make this poem flow easily. You used a free from and you kept an easy pace of rhyming.

The man behind the mask
by God’s unending love
found a girl to love him.
His flaws she thought not of.
A spouse he soon became.
Three perfect girls were born
who lit his heart aflame
nevermore to be forlorn.

This stanza holds Assonance, meaning you hold many vowel sounds through out.
Sound repetition will always give a poem an upbeat tone.
You also have used an example of eye rhyme with "love" and "of"

I also like that you chose the same syllable count almost through out this stanza. The last line being 7 not 6 but it is free form and you did a wonderful job!

*Vine2* Things I see you could improve on:
I do not see anything to improve upon here. You used great conventions with this piece and I enjoyed the story quite well.


*Vine2* Overall:

I am sure you many more to write and I am eager to see what you have.

*Vine2* Final thoughts:

Thank you for sharing and I am glad to have come across it.

*ButterflyV* Hi, LifeLessons here!! Stopping by to review this piece.*Vine2* *Vine2* *Vine2*

*Vine2* What i enjoyed about the title
This title is of a curious type. It can take on many different aspects with great imagination.

*Vine2* What I enjoyed about this piece
You tell a story of the wolf and Red Riding Hood being a couple. Not allowed to be together they hide their love for one another. There is a wizard that could have turned the wolf into a human but he didn't take the offer.
I liked how you had them meet like in the original story line.

*Vine2* Things I see you could improve on:
meen( mean )

the woman said,I would change this to Red
expariments." (experiments )

*Vine2* Overall:The dialogue was a great choice. I read it easy enough with no distractions. I would only suggest to put a few details in here.

More feeling between the two. Maybe some touching, where were they sitting. Setting the scene would only enhance the story line. You want the reader to have a great visual of the whole story.

*Vine2* Final thoughts:
I find this campfire quite interesting and I will read on to see where it goes. You will see another review from me for sure.
Thanks for sharing this.

*ButterflyV* Hi, LifeLessons here!! Stopping by to review this piece.*Vine2* *Vine2* *Vine2*

*Vine2* What i enjoyed about the title:
This title describes the narrator's thoughts very well. I knew by the title that it would be an interesting read.

*Vine2* What I enjoyed about this piece
I enjoyed how you convey your love as something wonderful. A title such as this could have gone the other way.

a pastel sunrise.

This is a nice example of sibilance. A feminine sound repetion that makes a great convention to any poem.

Our love is a carnival
kaleidoscope lights,
I dust off the glitter
when I kiss you good night.

I love the use of these descriptive lines. Very pretty, and magical.

This a lovely free verse form of poetry you have written. You used punctuation which made it an easy flow to follow.
A kind of love everyone would wish for.



*Vine2* Things I see you could improve on:
I see nothing to improve but only a small suggestion. Even though it is a free form, keep an eye on syllable count. Although your poem did have a an easy flow to it.

*Vine2* Overall:
This was a great little poem of love described as a free, full of vision and colorful. I enjoyed the read very much.

*Vine2* Final thoughts:
I believe you have a great little talent here. Thank you for sharing.

Simply beautiful!!
I love the two new words I did not know!
You describe a magical and glorifying moment
of awakening. Angels come to overtake the Cimmerian night.

Heralds ethereal choirs
Telling me I am not alone
Bringing me to thee sire
Their voices are singing me home

Such a calming and perfect guidance.

Hi, Hi, Lifelessons here:
*Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* *Vine1* : *ButterflyV*

What drew me to this poem:
When I saw this poem I knew it was going to be quite expressive. The title alone held conventions of a great poetic expression.

My thoughts after reading this wonderful piece:
As I read this I felt a bolt of different emotions. From hopeful to broken. You write of someone who is full of anguish and afraid to get too close again. This poem is sad but touching at the same time. To relate to a roseless thorn sounds so cold but beautiful at the same time. This is what makes poetry so deep and interesting to read. It reminds me of taking apart a wrapped gift to get the best part.
Loved it !

You used a free form verse poem here and it flowed very well.

Amidst all the madness,
I find myself
a roseless thorn
scratching and tearing at
those who touch me.

Great use of hyperbole here.
There are also a great sense of metaphor using scratching and tearing as descriptive cruel words...

A couple of suggestions,
Amidst "admist"


Were I to possess petals
would this be better as "If I were to possess petals"

This is a well written poem with a great meaningful story told by the poet. I enjoyed this very much and love the usage of words you have chosen.
Zephyr
ominous

I am in love with new words!!
Any new intriguing word that sends a visual sends me to the moon !! oops ! hyperbole!! *Smile*

Thank you so much for sharing this!!
I really enjoyed the read !

*ButterflyV* Hi, LifeLessons here!! Stopping by to review this piece.*Vine2* *Vine2* *Vine2*



*Vine2* What I enjoyed about this piece
This a story of a fox Anthros who owns a human as a pet. The humans were shrunk in size and bought by these anthros. The Character of Jessy is a young girl who forms a relationship with her human "Jay". She sees him as a brother and Jay has been taught to speak and read and write by his former owner. Jessy's father. Her father was on a mission to free the humans and had a kept secret of how to do this. Jessy and Jay come across this piece of power and set out to make a new group for humans to go to.
This is an exciting take on what could be. An imagination taken to another level. I was kept interested and you created great characters so far.
The intro to this story was carried out well and formed a great peek to a plot.

*Vine2* Things I see you could improve on:
A couple of spelling mistakes you might want to take a peak at.
heigth,"height"

theives "thieves"

bearly"barely"

compleate "complete"

admite,"admit"

Condemed"condemned"

"Deffinatly"definitely"

imagian"imagine"

It was at that moment, that the fight to free humans started, two young people, who were not even twenty, decided the future of humanity forever.
These are a few you might want to look over.
The one other thing that caught my eye was

It was at that moment, that the fight to free humans started, two young people, who were not even twenty, decided the future of humanity forever.

In this sentence you say to free humans. First it is two free humans. The other is how can they both be human if one is an Anthro. Just wondering.

*Vine2* Overall:
I think this is the making of a great story. I will be interesting to see where it goes.

*Vine2* Final thoughts:
Happy I had a peak here and I hope you found this review respectful and helpful

*ButterflyV* Hi, LifeLessons here!! Stopping by to review this piece.*Vine2* *Vine2* *Vine2*

*Vine2* What i enjoyed about the title:
The Revolution Between Humans and Anthros is quite the title and suits this story line well.

*Vine2* What I enjoyed about this piece
I really enjoyed this take on a Revolution of such a nature. You really out did yourself with imagination here. As I was reading the story line, it kind of reminding me of how little we really are and the very fact that humans can be taken over at any given time. Many ideas of how that can happen, you made it clear that what we have can be taken away. I like the idea of the fox anthro "scientist" who finds the book. How he discovers that humans were of a whole other stature. Interesting to see how this took off. It seems this can be told of a slavery story of a different kind.

*Vine2* Things I see you could improve on:
I don't see any room for improvement here. I think you set up a great scene of how humans can develop and gain their rights back.

*Vine2* Overall:
I really enjoyed this spin from reality to fiction. You hold some great ideas that show potential for some great writings. A genre I have no been familiar with.

*Vine2* Final thoughts:
Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

You made a point in a very short poetic poem. I would consider this a free form due to the fact you have no set rhythm here.
It is true if one was silent it would eventually take away our freedom of speech.

I would keep the rhythm on a more of flow.
Shorten the fourth line in the second stanza.

*PartyHatP* What I thought about the title:
This is a great title ! It worked well with this short piece that was written.

*PartyHatV* What I enjoyed about this piece:
I love to ponder on the days of yesterday. They go by too fast and you have written something here that most don't look upon. The nest is never empty. If this old house could talk, it would share laughter, pitter patter of little feet, the sounds of make believe. You are right to say that the nest is never really empty. The space is only saved for new memories to arise.
I like how you told a little of your son when he was little and then to the present of him being off to college. These is normalcy and if that is all one has to worry about, I would say they are lucky.
*QuestionV* Things you may want to improve on:
My only suggestion would be to make it a little longer. Bring it to a point of your son talking to you now. The growth is there but it would be nice to see where his life has taken you thus far.

*Beach* : My over all thoughts
I think this is a wonderful little story and one many could appreciate. Isn't that what we do as writers? We want others to relate and engage. Good job.

I have to say you did give me a great chuckle here. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and we have our share of snow. Sometimes I would rather be else where, but not during the Christmas season. I couldn't imagine waking up to no snow on the ground.
You really had to rub it in about the power bill draining your bank account huh? *Laugh*
I know this one all too well. I cry every year!!
You did a great job in turning this piece into a comedy. I really enjoyed it.

This month’s heating bill turns your black hair white,
The tourists at the Main Street Experience are dressed for summer
The meteorologist says your outdoor pets need a warm bed at night.
This would have to be the best! You express the heating bill with the meteorologist.. I think the two are in cahoots !! lol

*Vine1* *Vine1* Hello *Vine1* *Vine1*
I am LifeLessons I chose to review your item today as part of my review challenge at the "Invalid Item" .

*StarB* What I like about the title:
Everyone wants to read about a star. When I took note of your description of the roaring 20's, I was hooked!

*StarO* My impressions of character:

Both characters are very strong and independent. The 20's were a time of great change. Women of many had to start over on their own and with a child it became even a harder battle. I love how the narrator shows the bond between both mother and daughter. They prevail obstacles and enjoy their adventures. The daughter admiring her mother even though the public eye looks down upon her. As many would have in those days. You portray this very well.
The mother seemed to be a lot of fun which I doubt many were back then. The struggle in life usually would get in the way. Getting by was the golden rule but if you can do that and enjoy life like these two, one would be lucky.
*StarR* What I enjoyed about this piece:

I liked so many things about this story. I love the history and the way you intertwined real actors, cars, brands, and fads. You really made the story come alive putting these attributes throughout the story. I loved how the narrator speaks of the daughter admiring her mother as she was preparing for a shoot, and her perfume leaving a scent that will always remind the daughter of her mother.

No matter how tired she is, she always spends time with me. She taught me quilting, and we are currently working on a new project. The Sigmund Freud followers could try to calculate the personality of my celebrity mom all they want, but I know how she really is. I’m proud that my mother is a silent film star.

This does speak volumes of just how proud she was of her mother. I read the strength in the mother being able to focus on both a career and a child to raise. She had her own morals in life and didn't allow gossip to get in the way.
*StarP* My suggestion on improvement:
I don't see any room for improvement. Only because I loved that era, I was curious. If you had to name your characters, what would they be?

*BlockV* My overall thoughts:
I enjoyed this story very much. You brought me back to an era that I adore. The styles, the history and the fight for small pleasures in such a harsh time. The roaring 20's were exactly that. Thank you for sharing.
