Review of Day Dawning  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Again, I love the images that this poetry evokes, but I do have one suggestion: focus less on the description and more on the flow. Your descriptions are beautiful, and for that you should be proud, but I feel in terms of a poem it compromises rhythm for prose. It's certainly easy to do, and I feel that all poets fall into this "trap" every now and then. All-in-all, I still very much enjoyed the read.

Thanks for sharing,

Review of Love Lost  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Again, great work with the rhyme scheme. I've detected a possible trend in your rhyming style, and I think it works well for you, where the second and fourth lines rhyme but the first and third do not. A small suggestion, though, if I may: In the third stanza, the first line reads "Perhaps it would be easier". I think changing the wording to be slightly shorter might make it flow better, but that of course is up to you.

Thank you for sharing!

This poem is very good, the rhyme scheme evokes a steady rhythm, and I got an almost "stream of consciousness" vibe from it. The first and last lines coincide very well, with the first setting the stage and the last summing up the poem. I feel the connection between the title of the poem and the last line, and I feel it works very well.

Great work!

This story was very good, I like the closing sentence especially. As a short story, it works well, but could easily accommodate a potential goal of being several chapters, if you'd be interested in trying to expand. It captured my attention well and was a fun read. :)

Review of Bobby

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi! I'm here to review your work!

First impressions: This is a non-fiction piece, which I would generally skip, but this one caught my attention. I think it might be the descriptions in the first paragraph.
Overall impression: The content is very good, an interesting story. The conclusion is sad, but provides a good conclusion.
Errors?: In the dialogue, I would suggest removing the "Mom:" and "Me:" tags, rather opting to use things like "I said" and "she said"
Characters: Real, so no development necessary
Plot: Real, so no development necessary
Questions about the piece?: None :)


Great job, and keep writing!

Review of Toadette's Story  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
I'm not into this sort of thing, so I'm simply looking at the technical aspects of your story. You do well with dialogue and description, and your characters are all unique and defined (Although this is fan fiction of sorts, so that's a slightly less complicated task. Either way, you write well.

Good job :)

Review of That Chair There  
In affiliation with RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I'm here for the review request!

I really, really like this. It gives me Dr. Seuss vibes with the rhyming.

I especially like this stanza:

"So we went to a store that they call Man Made Chairs,
They had big chairs and small chairs and chairs that have hairs
The biggest big place that I ever had seen.
Chairs in all colors: red, blue, white and green."

but I would suggest a hyphen in between "Man" and "Made" (Man-Made)

I don't see any grammatical errors or anything, so kudos there :)

Very, very good job here. You should be proud.

Review of Accept  
In affiliation with RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I think we accept a lot of things. Right now, I'm accepting that accepting is the only way forward. It's a bit melancholy, isn't it?

This is a good poem, I like the form you used.

That last line, though.

"Beaten, you dare not raise our eyes; or your voice.
You accept that you must accept."

Very, very well written.

Review of Decypher  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I'm here to deliver on my promise last night!

Wow.

I think my mind was just blown. It's your introduction...it grasps a reader by the eyes and pulls them in by the mind.

"deficient decoders trying their hardest to be the first crossing the finish line; The first ringing the bell, bragging before their competence, not sparing any time to learn love." Deficient Decoders is such a good description for these people. This line alone could stand and ring true, without any help from the others.

"Perhaps my opinion is only filled with malaise, poisoning my hope. Or maybe, my experiences are just tainted by evil. Though my outlook is heavy, and my thoughts melancholy, I still carry expectations; A hopeless romantic screams just beneath my skin, begging to be recognized. How can something so sour on my tongue be so enchanting in my bones? Is there really such a battle between heart and mind? Why must tomorrow be so promising, and yesterday so depraved?"

Most of these are rhetorical questions posed to the reader. It makes you think, really think, and the conclusion isn't always a welcome one. In my experience, that's the best kind of rhetorical.

I never learn.

Such a good line. It's heavy, it's weighty, but it isn't too much that it makes you sad. More like..bittersweet?

Fabulous Job.

Sounds like a merry Christmas to me, indeed! Who wouldn't want mountains of GPs?

This can be read in the style of the original very closely, so well done on that. I especially like the inclusion of the mouse in the beginning, I think it pulls the "real" story into your parody even more.

Great job!

I did actually sing this, and it sounds astoundingly close to the original in both measure and cadence, so kudos on that. Although it appears I was (7) Bothering my sister when I sang "don't pick your nose" all nice and drawn out like "fiiiive Golden rinnngs!"

Thank you for a great parody and a laugh!

Wow...this is such a good poem. It's approaching Christmas this year, so I thought I'd come to review some holiday works (I wonder if they get reviewed any other time of year?) And came across this one. I'm blown away. This serves as a great reminder to all that money isn't everything, and that there are people less fortunate than you that deserve to be blessed, both by God and the community around them.

Merry Christmas, friend.

Review of ARE YOU A TEEN?

As a teen, this poem is perfect, Lurie! It characterizes the things we get asked and have assumed about us every day. I like the rhyming pattern and the language used throughout.


Great job! :)

Dark and deeply mysterious...I like it. My interpretation of it is this:

The first 2 lines represent the logical reaction to a nightmare, and the last lines represent the irrational fear of the unknown. I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

Either way, great, great job!
