Brenpoet, thank you for sharing this very nicely written piece. I was moved by the view expressed throughout the poem. I believe that we who believe understand the symbolism of "The White Vestment." Unless we are clean by the blood of Christ, we will not appear unblemished or worthy in God's sight when he returns. As Born agaiin Christians, we must work and believe in the second coming, and that our reward will be a seat with God and the angels.

Fyndorian, thank you for sharing this piece. I like the message that is being conved, i.e., that you must look deeper than what is on the surface to truly appreciate the beauty, the value, and the intent. Most often people only see what they want to see without ever digging or looking deeper. The world is NOT always what it seems, and neither or people.

Why I read it: It was a random selection
What I liked: The message that was conveyed in the stanzas
What I would change some of the rhythm in the stanzas
Recommendation: Consider a review and rewrite of some of the stanzas.

Ben Langhinrichs, thank you for sharing your angry sonnet "Jam Packed." I, too, have a few pet peeves that make me rant and rave so I can surely relate to your rant and rave about emails filled with jokes that most often are not even funny. Mine is chain letters! It seems that everybody gets the SAME chain letter on the same day, and they ALL have to send them to ME! HATE IT!

Why I read it: It was a random selection.
What I liked: The way the author addressed the issue and how each verse led up to the climax
What I would change: Nothing
Recommendation: Write on! WRITE ON!

Fyndorian, the instructions are clear and adequately explained. On first glance, the readers knows that there is a writing competition and that certain words are allowed while others are not allowed. It is also clear that the piece must be 240 words or more and the piece must be about stress and how to relieve it. Based on the instructions, the writer must use words that describe the topic and its remedy without using the standard ordinary descriptors. Finally the written poem serves as an example of what is expected and required to enter the contest.

Why I read it: It was a randomly assigned selection
What I liked: The way the instructions were given, and demonstrated with the example.
What I would change: Nothing
Recommendation: Write on. WRITE ON!

Review of Why?  
Review by G. B. Williams
In affiliation with The Newbies Academy Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Whiskerbells, I think you have asked a lot of the questions that people often think, but choose not to comment. Many of the "Why" questions have been around for years and people just say them because they have always heard them and many have never even thought to question them. Interesting read.

Why I read it: It was a random selection.
What I liked about it: The why questions with the responses
What I would change: Probably nothing since I only read it once.
What I recommend: Write on. WRITE ON!

Jatog the Green, thank you for sharing your poem. Since I am not a trained poem writer, I had to learn about double acoustic writing on my own. Your poem illustrated very nicely how that is done. Not sure that I have mastered this technique, but I am working to perfect it.

Review of A Poet Showed Up  
Review by G. B. Williams

Rated: E | (4.5)
DroidDriver, thank you for writing. Writing is my way of expressing my deepest innermost thoughts. This particular poem was randomly assigned to me, and I am glad that it was assigned.

It is a very short but powerful poem and the ending made it worth reading.

My thoughts: The title did not fit the poem in my opinion. The development from beginning to ending made me think of someone being smitten by love and pondering what to do about it, and then deciding to be okay with it.

What I liked: The ending.
What I would change: The title and the brief description

Thank you for sharing.

Review of Morning

Autumn, thank you for writing about your feelings. At first, I thought it was rather choppy, but went back and reviewed one of my 2:30am writings and boy were they very much alike.

It is now 3:29 am and I am not ready to call it morning, and it is still for the most part my night.

What I liked: The title and the content
Why I read it: It was about a subject that intrigues me
What I would change: The flow of the content

The three thoughts here about your writing are just my thoughts. Your writing is yours and yours alone. Use them as you see fit or discard them completely.

Thank you for sharing.

Justpeachy, first of all, let me thank you for putting your thoughts on paper. Secondly, I thank you for organizing them in a manner that allowed me to read it and draw my own conclusions about what your were saying, thinking an feeling at the time you were writing. At first, I thought it was about someone thinking about suicide and describing that feeling and mood. As I read more it seemed to be about a person trying to understand why they exist and where it all started. The last stanza brings it all home. Good job.

Why I read it: It was listed in the Spiritual newsletter along with a prayer that I wrote.
What I liked: The way you laid out your thoughts
What I would change: Nothing
Recommendation/suggestions: None

Thank you again for witing an dposting this piece.

Prosperous Snow (Neva), thank you for sharing. I wonder if I have a secret name? That was my thought as I read your description of your secret name in the snowflake chronicles. I sure we all must have a secret name for ourselves but I wonder if they are as well thought out as yours?

Harry, isn't it strange how life turned around after the Vietnam War. It seems that those who followed orders and fought the good fight or less than honorable in our today's American, than those who protested and are now reaping the benefits of that awful war. Your poem places both sides before us without some of the horror and pain that was and is still lived by so many of those who fought. Thank you so much for sharing.

Why I rad your poem: It was randomly selected and assigned.

What I liked: The remembrance of the Viet Name War

What I would change: I would probably change the ending, if I was the writer, but I am not, and appreciate the ending that it has.

Suggestions or recommendations: None

Who Me ???, thanks for sharing this life struggle. YOU are NOT alone. I have struggled wth my weight since I had my four children. I can pack it on, but can't seem to take it off and keep it off. Others seem to be able to accomplish that feat and wear it well.

Why I chose this piece: It was randomly assigned.

What I liked: It dealt with a real life event that I have full knowledge of and live every day. I also like the two updates.

Review of Divine Lover

Michaela, one cannot argue with or dispute ones love for God or ones relationship with God. Each of us finds Him in our hearts and each of us walks with Him differently.

Thank you for sharing your deep emotional relationship with God. I am touched by how you express your relationship.

Why I read this piece: I was browsing Michaela Elliott's portfolio and this one stood out.

What I liked: I liked the way she expressed herself and her relationship to God.

Recommendations/Suggestions: In awe before Him, praise wells (swells) from within.

Thank you for allowing me to read your writings. My suggestion is just that, a suggestion.

Review of untitled work  
Review by G. B. Williams
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: E | (3.0)
LC Mart, this was indeed dark poetry. It was a quick read but required a re-read to get the message. The pain and the suffering -- the heat and passion of the soul drawn out and leaving one feeling helpless and lost. If that was the intent, it came across. Sometimes it feels like you must do something to mask and hid the scars from a very difficult situation or relationship.

Why I read your piece: It was randomly assigned, and I needed to get in a few reviews.

What I liked: The poem was short and to the point. It met the tone of the poem's type.

What I would change: Grabbing one arms... Grabbing one's arms... or Grabbing one arm...

Thank you for sharing your work with me.

J. A. Buxton, thank you for writing about your love for trees. ME TOO! However, you took your love a step further than I have -- I have never named one of my trees. I have one tree that has been in my yard so long no one knows how old it is. It's twin died (joined together at the hip), and everyone said it would be dead in a year or two. Thirty years later it is still hanging in there and I am forever grateful. I loved your account of your love for trees and could almost picture Peter and Spock.

Why I read your story: It was randomly selected and I need to read and rate something for Showering Acts of Joy.

What I liked: The entire story, and the content.

What I would change: Not a word. Thank you for sharing.

Review of It's Everywhere

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Jan-We-Got-This, thank you for dedicating a poem to a societal ill that many of us would like to ignore. In my state, they have gotten rid of most of the mental health institutions. They jail them; they put them in wards in hospitals for short periods of time; they ignore them, and yes many are homeless. I am not sure what the answer is but you are absolutely right. They are just like you and I. They feel. They hurt. They have good days and bad ones. They are our people.

Why I read your item: It was randomly selected, and I got an email that said members of my group should be reviewing items, and no one had reviewed any this week.

What I liked: Your piece addressed a very serious condition in our society and made it personal.

What I would change: Nothing.

Pat-Grammar Garden, I could not agree with you more. All of us are on our own path. Nothing or no one can walk our path for us. Life is a journey, and it presents with good times, bad times, and just times. Our choices will determine how we react to each. You make that abundantly clear in this very light and easily read poem. Thank you for sharing.

Ghost, what a powerful imagination. I think that you really could add to this story if you wanted to. It was interesting to read how you took one idea and built upon it come up with the total destruction of the Americas.

Why I read it: It was a random selection.
What I liked: The brevity of the story
Suggestions: Shock wave (used in at least two places) should be one word.
...his answers(answer) was basic.

Ciara, I believe that you will make Disney World for Jamcom 2016. Your capturing the struggle that you are going through to get there in verse is rather unique. I like the free flow of it, and I like the way you weave through the obstacles that are getting in your way. Disney World is a place where dreams are born, but also a place that many dream of going.

Why I read it: It was a random slection.
What I liked: The way you described your journey thus far in your effort to make Jamcom 2016.

Minuette Desjardin, I could not agree with you more. Autumn is the winning of life, and then there is winter, the very throws of death. Spring comes and starts us afresh, making winters death almost bearable. My favorite three seasons -- spring, summer and fall always make me think of the cycle of life, spring - birth; summer - youth; autumn - adult; winter - old age and death. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning. I received your request to review your chapter #2050386. Having just finished reading it, I think that you have done a good job in weaving your tale with jus enough intrigue to get the reader's attention.

Why I read this chapter: AuthorS requested a read.
What I liked: The storyline was interesting and held my attention.
Suggestions/Changes: For the most part it is a well-written story. I would recommend a tight editing to catch any errors that might exist. For example ...came from from (delete one from)the independent kingdom...

I hope this was helpful.

Write on. WRIE ON!

Review of Inside A Poem  
Review by G. B. Williams
In affiliation with Showering Acts of Joy Group  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
CJ, I can relate! My poems are almost always about my feelings and my life. I never stop writing; I just take long breaks. I do not have writer's block; I have nothing to say. Then something will happen, and I can write all day. My emotions always run high, and I can write for days or until the feelings run out.

If this poem is about you, Know that addictions of any kind can often kill our will to do. I am so glad that it did not kill, and that you found healing so that you could write again. Your treatment of the addiction and the subsequent healing and return to writing are well expressed in this short poem. Thank you for sharing.

Why I read it: It was randomly selected.
What I like: The entire poem spoke to me and your use of words to describe what was going on kep the poem interesting.
Suggestions: Keep on writing.
