Review of Astral Projection  
Review by Chris Breva
In affiliation with Space Blog Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: I have never experienced astral projection but it sounds cool. I just avoid things to do with the occult because of my beliefs. I use to delve into drugs a lot but gave them up. I've had acid trips where I did all the things your poem describes.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I loved the sing-song nature of this poem.

What I liked least: Nothing.

Review of Unleashed

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: With the exception of the fire, this sounded a lot like a glimpse into hell itself. It sounded dark and tormenting. It would not be a good place. Congratulations on having this published.

I see from your bio picture that you were at Niagara Falls. I lived there for about a year once. It truly is beautiful just like you.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I liked that perhaps this poem will make people consider their immortality.

What I liked least: The format. I prefer rhyme and meter over free verse and prose.

Review of Fourthmeal

Rated: ASR | (4.5)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This was a poem about dining and the flavors of the food and drink reminding the author of places around the world and the people who made history there. I can honestly say that my food never did that for me but then I never really stopped to consider it. Like you I like history. It is obvious the author has some knowledge of history or is perhaps even obsessed with it.

Your spelling and grammar: looked great to me.

What I liked most: I liked the history in it. As a history buff I related to this poem.

What I liked least: It did not flow as well as I would have liked. I like sing-song poetry.

Review of Cold  
Review by Chris Breva
In affiliation with Space Blog Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem about somebody who thinks they are cold, but is ambiguous about it. I think it touches a certain part of the human psyche as we have all been in places where we were uncomfortable, but not quite uncomfortable enough to do anything about it. I personally would never have thought to write a poem about it. It just proves poetry can be like the show "Seinfeld." It can be about anything trivial as well as important.

Your spelling and grammar: looked okay to me.

What I liked most: I liked that you had the imagination to write about this.

What I liked least: the format. I prefer rhyme and meter. This seemed a bit dry.

Review of Bliss

Rated: E | (5.0)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem about an eye issue that apparently changes the character's appearance, probably resulting in a lot of ridicule and stigma. We had a girl in my grade school class who was very homely due to being cross-eyed and having a long nose. Nobody would have a thing to do with her. To spite them I befriended her and we dated for a while.

Your spelling and grammar: looked okay to me.

What I liked most: I liked that you wrote this and brought attention to it.

What I liked least: The way you beat up on yourself.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem from the perspective of somebody infected with COVID-19. I know you said it was a work of fiction and I hope it remains that way. I like the attitude of your character. They have made peace with the idea of dying. Now let's hope a miracle occurs and they live.

Your spelling and grammar: looked great to me.

What I liked most: I like the attitude of forgiveness and serenity.

What I liked least: The last stanza did not rhyme so it appeared inconsistent.

Review of Everchanging Sky  
Review by Chris Breva
In affiliation with Space Blog Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This was a poem about an apparent loved one and the many changes a person goes through in the day. You did not say if these changes were positives or negatives to you so the reader is left to draw their own conclusions. The poem would also apply to the many changes a person goes through in the course of a lifetime.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I loved the possibilities and the ever present reference to change. I think divorce rates are as high as they are because people fail to allow for their partners to change over time.

What I liked least: Nothing thus the five stars.

Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a haiku about a tree in the winter time. It speaks of the virtual nudity of the tree and how the tree is unashamed as it reaches to the sky. Yes. I know it doesn't say all that but it implies it. I love haikus. You speak of the tree's icy sigh which has to be the wind blowing through it and of how its shadow scatters the moonlight. Good job!

Your spelling and grammar: looked okay to me.

What I liked most: I love haiku. Oriental poetry is my favorite.

What I liked least: Nothing thus the five stars.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This was a well-written haiku. I am not a good judge of haiku, but I know a little about it. This haiku is about life in the ocean and a person dances in the waves.


Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: The syllable count and the different though at the end appeared good. I like the way it transitioned.

What I liked least: Nothing.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This was a poem about a man going back to visit his hurtful past. There is not a lot of detail about why the character seems so distraught. Perhaps, if it isn't too painful, you could elaborate a little more.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I liked that this may have been cathartic for you.

What I liked least: Nothing.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This a poem about what it means to be a "human bean". I believe the writer means to say "human being." The poem makes a good point in that we will not grow as long as we depend on others to do everything for us.



Your spelling and grammar: Left a little to be desired. The lack of stanzas and punctuation made it difficult to distinguish where one thought ended and another began.

What I liked most: I liked that you explored this issue.

What I liked least: The grammar.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem about a cursor that is taunting a writer with writer's block. The cursor finally cooperates and the writer is able to write. It is really neat that the author blames the cursor for the writer's block.



Your spelling and grammar: looked great to me.

What I liked most: I liked the idea that the writer was blaming the cursor for something that the writer is clearly responsible for.

What I liked least: Nothing.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem about a controlling government and how such governments manipulate and control their subjects. Many feel that the government of the United States is headed in this direction. I do not know if the government is headed in that direction or not. I do know that media seems to lean that way. Media does everything possible to manipulate people.



Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I love rhyme poetry. This one flowed smoothly. I did not do a syllable count but it seemed metered.

What I liked least: Nothing, thus the five stars.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a diamante poem about a dog. I love diamante poetry and I love dogs so the combination works well for me. You write each line according to the rules as far as I can tell. The rules for diamante have changed over the years. At one time the bottom few lines were directly opposed to the top. You did well.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I liked that it was form poetry.

What I liked least: Nothing, thus the five stars.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is a poem about love. It begins reading as a pros and cons view of the seasons and ends with an expression of love for another person. I like the way you weaved the romance into it without writing about romance. This was a nice poem!

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I appreciated the balance between pros and cons. I especially appreciated the romantic twist at the end.

What I liked least: Nothing. I usually dock a half-point for free verse but this had a steady, even flow.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is an article about sleep disorders. The article caught my eye because I wear a CPAP for sleep apnea, take stimulants for narcolepsy, and have mild restless legs syndrome. Your article is easy to read and very detailed. I gather that you are either a sleep tech or work in the field some way. A doctor would likely have used technical terms with no explanation of them but when you used them you explained them. Good job!

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I liked that you addressed this often misunderstood problem. I am glad you addressed this.

What I liked least: If anything it would be the length. I usually only read poetry because it is short.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This was a haiku about one of those forest trails that appears and then suddenly disappears. The haiku describes how the trail appears tempting a traveler to follow it into the forest and then it disappears as suddenly as it began. It makes one wonder what made the trail and if that something met a sudden end.

Your spelling and grammar: appeared great to me.

What I liked most: I liked that it was a traditional haiku. It was about nature as haiku usually is. The syllable count was spot on and it had the unexpected twist at the end like traditional haiku.

What I liked least: Nothing thus the five stars.

My impression of this item was: This was a romantic fairy tale told in the form of prose poetry. It had a good story line and plot. It seemed almost like a little girl's dream. Perhaps it was yours. If so I hope your Prince Charming has arrived since this writing.

What I liked most: I liked the plot. It was romantic.

What I liked least: The format. I prefer rhyme and meter over free verse and prose.

Review of Thank you God

Made by Lilli

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is an essay about being thankful to God in all situations. As the essay says gratitude is not just something one should feel for the good things in life. Gratitude is something one should have in all situations. As a former farmer I have found that the richest soil is found in the valleys and in areas where there is a lot of decay. This is also true for our spiritual lives. The ridges of life are wonderful, but it is the valleys of life that bring the most growth. This essay teaches that we should be thankful for those valleys.

Your spelling and grammar: looked okay to me. Nothing popped out.

What I liked most: I liked the insights of this essay.

What I liked least: Nothing, thus the five stars.

I came by your port today and decided to give you a review as well. After all, Anniversary Reviews Forum and Space Blog was designed to get you reviews.

My impression of this item was: This is an essay about the singer Prince. I was never a big fan of Prince, basically because I never really listened to a whole lot of anything. I was exposed to the sounds as others listened to music and television, but I never really got into it.

Your spelling and grammar: looked good to me.

What I liked most: I liked that you expressed what it is you liked about Prince. You did not talk in generalities but named specific reasons.

What I liked least: It wasn't poetry.

My impression of this item was: This poem is from a person regretting having to leave another individual. The first person could have prevented the second person from leaving by simply saying "Don't go" or "I love you. Yet the first person fails to do so.

My impression of this item was: This poem expresses a very real truth that is often overlooked. That truth is that when a spouse is deployed the entire family is at war. I respect the sacrifice you have made as a war bride.

What I liked most: I liked that you brought attention to this often-overlooked fact.
