Each month Maryann and katherine76 will highlight members and items in a variety of categories and place those items on a page that is in each of our ports (double the exposure). The owner of each chosen item will receive a plug in the two "Check It Out" pages for that month and will receive 500 gps.

Your item, "Angel Review Forum" , has been chosen in the category of 'message forum' for the month of September. During this month, you can see it here, (Maryann's) "Check It Out..."  and here, (Katherine's) "Invalid Item" .

In looking over this forum, I can see that these reviewers are truly angels at writing.com. The work that you and the angels do here is really terrific. *Delight*

It is clear to see that you put so much time and care into this contest for newbies with this fantastic contest. *Smile*

Nice story, Alan. It seems like a fresh idea. Three teenaged boys find out that a moviing truck filled an old house with expensive items a day before the owners will be there, so they decide to rob it.

It turns out that the house is haunted, so it makes for an interesting robbery.

I found one 'typo' that you might want to fix so that it doesn't interrupt the quality of your story:

"When Jared go to the living room, he found Pete lying on the floor."

Great job, and welcome to writing.com. I hope that you will put more stories in your port. *Smile*

*Thumbsup* Well done, Kjo. You did an absolutely amazing job in writing this story, and I will be proud of adding it to "WDC Power Places" . No ribbon -- I'll have to fix that. *Wink*

Some of the best lines: "Beams of silvern moonlight sneak around the small openings between thick trees. If I didn’t know better mama, I’d say those rays of light were the arms of God reaching out." "This iron piece at my side will either save me or bury me. But it's not for me to decide. I don’t mean to burden you, just know that I love and miss you. This letter isn't ready to be sent yet mama, so, I'll be writing more soon." "Dear Mrs.Johnson: It brings me great sadness to be writing this letter to you."

Your touching story is sure to bring tears to the readers eyes, as it did mine. One sure sign of a great writer is if he/she can mesmerize the reader, and touch the emotions.

Review of our universe

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi Justine,

Your poem is really very pretty. I can sense a mystical and wondrous harmony in the words, which flow together effortlessly. You accomplished a tone of inspiration which your readers will have no trouble feeling. I like the line, "rainbows essence embrace us" the best. *Smile*

Review of The Moonbeam  
Review by Maryann
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Cynaemon,

I enjoyed reading your moonbeam poem. I thought you succeeded in telling a sweet story in a small space. Your poem made me picture the moon-lit night which shines on the flowers, ("Embraces stray moonflowers"), all while we sleep.

Very nice! *Smile*

Hi Hamster,

Your first poem on writing.com is a good one. I enjoy reading these type of poems. Acrostic poems, I think, take more thought to create because of the limitations of having to begin each line with the needed letter.

Your poem is really pretty. *Smile*

Your nature poem is really pretty, Rixfarmgirl. I can picture the babbling brook, and the beavers playing nearby. You wrote the piece well. *Smile*

Review of End of Summer

Hi Snow,

I'm trying to make sure that I visit some of the ports from the yellow reviews while at this party.*Smile*

I like your summer poem. It makes me realize that our summer is also almost over. 'Just August left! It seemed like I was just waiting for it to get here.

...But like you said in your poem, "Day by day summer decomposes"

Review of Dear God,  
Review by Maryann
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hmmm, short and sweet. Your poem certainly provokes thought. Your words about it, "Philosophy 1-o-1" are a good way to put it.

I once know a person back in school who only wrote one sentence on his essay titled "Who Are You." All that was written on the paper was "I am me and nobody else." The teacher actually thought that was creative. I'm sure no one ever turned in an assignment like that before. *Smile*

Oh, this is nice, Sapphire. *Smile*

Your fantasy poem is actually a summary of the first book/movie in the Harry Potter series. That was a very imaginative idea.

You even have all of the facts straight ("At Number 4, Privet Drive
That very same night..."), which makes it that much more enjoyable to read. *Smile*

This is fantastic, Ridinghhood, especially for those of us, like myself, who read the books and watched the movies. We are familar with the spell words that you used, so your very creative poem makes sense.

Your poem is very sweet and a pleasure to read. *Smile*

LOL *Laugh* -- Ronald the Red Haired Weasley set to the music of Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer! You have me sitting here at my computer laughing and now my dogs think I'm nuts!

You have to get 5*Star*s for this one.

"You know Arthur and Molly and Charlie and Ginny,
Fred and George and Bill and Percy,
But do you recall the most famous Weasley of all?"

Weasley is our King! *Bigsmile*

Oh, nice work, Lily. I think you really captured what J. K. Rowling was trying to express with the icy, shadowy, Dememtor creatures.

Your poem flowed effortlessly to show the emotion of it all.

I like this phrase in your poem the best:

"Plunge you into the deepest, coldest water
Pull you back with the hardest tug
Whiplash your faintest worry
Swirling epiphany"

Very descriptive and poetic. *Smile*

Oooh, Jodie, this is a fantastic limerick! I think our deemac has some good competition here! LOL

I like to read limericks, though I never could write them very well myself, and (of course) I like anything 'Harry Potter'. This item has them both. You're a bright 14 year old for sure. *Smile*

Review of The Stream  
Review by Maryann
Rated: E | (4.5)
Nice job, Robert. It was like reading an old time novel -- Hunk Finn, maybe.

You did a great job with that style you were seeking. It showed the character's great appreciation of the stream, and opened up the reader's senses to it as well.
