*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your item.

*Exclaim* Hi Lonewolf! I'm stopping by to keep in touch with a little review. *Smile*

Oooh, and this one looks delicious! Italian food is one of my all-time favorites, along with Mexican and Chinese foods. I like the colors in the image, and I can really see the cheese, too. Who doesn't like meatballs! (Well, my daughter will only eat them if they are made with turkey. LOL)

I'm not a big fan of Spaghetti, as I normally share some of it with my shirt! *Laugh*
But I love pasta in general.

I hope you did well in that contest!
Enjoy your weekend, and your pasta recipes, too!

Review of The Snow Globe

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your item.

*Exclaim* Hi George! *Smile*

I really liked this snowglobe because of it's bright colors. I've seen other snowglobes, and they aren't so colorful. Yours popped nicely.

I liked, also, that it is about Dallas. Living on the east coast all of my life, I've only had the opportunity to visit Dallas a couple of times. Years ago when I first went there, I expected tumbleweeds! LOL I was very pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful and modern city that it is. *Smile*

I liked that you mentioned a saying from your dad. He must be a clever and humorous man.
I think I'll also start wishing on Snow Globes! *Laugh*
Actually, my friend collects them, so I will think of you and mention that saying!

Thanks for sharing.

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your audio item.

*Exclaim* Oh my gosh! Sonali, that was amazing!

What a nice memory you made for your dad - to assist him make an audio item. *Heart*

Your dad has a nice singing voice. Gosh, he is eight-six!!!
It is awesome that his kindergarten teacher taught him this song so many years ago, and he still can remember it and sing it so very well.

I like the introduction you made, both in the audio and written for us to understand. Well, I don't understand the actual singing, but of course, I get the idea.

I thought this was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. *Smile*

Review of Escape Claws

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your poem.

*Exclaim*Hi Don! Happy Site Anniversary Week to you! *Balloonv*

Wow! I am in awe at the poem which you wrote from the simple prompt words, wind blown, statue, fields, wreath, and bottle. Seriously! How were you able to write such a deep, adventurous, fantasy story poem from that! I'm sure others might have ventured into the message in a bottle line - and, by the way, I like how you casually slipped something about that in, but you took your poem to a whole other level!

I liked the addition of prehistoric pterodactyls. They added a captivating excitement to your story poem, especially when it seemed the hero would fall from one of their grips.

It was fun to read from the beginning to the end. The first two lines made me want to continue reading. "Once on a wind blown Pacific plateau, /held in a land that retained long ago. Your ending made me think of a, 'Happily ever after' story. Nice work! *Delight*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your story.

*Exclaim*Hi Destiny. Nicely written story!

You wrote it in a way that your readers will really have a sense of what the main character is feeling. Gosh, I felt a dislike for the teacher when she singled out the student the way she did. That wasn't nice, though I'm sure she meant well.

I felt the suspense as to what would happen next. You did a great job in not rushing the story, but showing what was going on in that classroom instead.

I didn't know what Asperger was so I had to look it up at the end. Maybe since you mentioned it in the title, you could add a notation about it at the end of the story.

I have a few little suggestions...

I think your story would present better if you skipped a line in between paragraphs or thoughts -- As I am doing in this review, for example.

This line might look better with the use of {i} and {/i} since it is the character's thoughts, and 'to' should be 'too', like this: This. Is. Too. Much.

high way should be highway

my self should be myself

The numbers of counting might be written out so that, for example, 26 could be twenty-six.

Other than those tiny little things, the story was captivating. Good job.

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your item.

*Exclaim* Hi Richard! What a fun item! I'm all about having fun here, and your item was so cheery that I couldn't help but smile while reading it.

I can hardly wait to visit that summery cruise item that you listed. I always need raffle tickets. I'll definitely need to remember to get there.

Thank you for mentioning "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" . We are in the middle of our review raid, so I am in a fun mood, indeed. One thing though, you linked the group hub, rather than the group itself. The chat hub is great as well, but I read your blurb that you were speaking about the group.

I love the set up of your blurb page!! It was easy to read with a nice size, centering, and font. Gosh, you should really be one of our group leaders!

Thanks for the trinket. It was a great way to end the page.

Have a terrific upcoming weekend. *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your poem.

*Exclaim* Oh, nicely done! I'm always fascinated by structured poems. This one, a terzanelle, seems very complex to me. I took a moment to look at all of the small details. I like the way you tied the first and last stanza so smoothly. The structure of the terzanelle appeared to be perfect.

By the way, I don't write structured poems very often, so I had to look this one up as a refresher. I can imagine some viewers might not recognize or appreciate that this is a terzanelle poem. I would suggest that you add a little note at the bottom to explain what that form of poetry is, or you might come across someone who won't see the beauty and work which went into it's creation.

The story of your poem was whimsical and mysterious. I especially liked the talk of gypsies and palm readers. That's something which I always wanted to do. Maybe I'll see a palm reader at a county fair someday. Well done. *Smile*

Review of Alaska2004

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your photos of Alaska.

*Exclaim* Hi Jace! Oh my gosh! That looks like it was a fantastic trip! You caught great moments on camera. I've never been to Alaska, but I was able to get a good sense of what it looks like from your variety of pictures.

Wow! You even had little floating ice burgs there! The flowers were pretty, and the girls look like they were having so much fun. I don't know about those animals...Are elks friendly? It looks like you might have been pretty close to them! LOL

I thought it was a nice touch to write an introduction before the album. Nice work in putting this one together.

I've had friends who have been to Alaska and they told me about dog sled rides and other fun moments. This is the first time I saw a photo album of such a trip. Thanks for sharing the winter fun! *Delight*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your Crockpot story.

*Exclaim*Hi Happy! Oh gosh, I loved your crockpot tale. I never made a peach cobbler in a crockpot, so now I am looking forward to trying something like that.

I use my crockpot a lot, too. I started years ago at a time when my daughter was in her high school varsity sports. I'd set it up early, and it was ready to eat after her games, or when the rest of the family was ready to eat while my daughter and I were still out. Your story brought back great memories. *Delight*

I would have loved to see a more detailed recipe following your story. Perhaps you might add one there, and space it out so it will be easy to read and follow. With that said, I will surely look up desert recipes in the future. Up until now, I have only made entrees in my crockpot. Thanks for the winter fun! *Smile*

Review of Painting  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)


*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your story.

*Exclaim* Hi Jacky! Thanks for sharing this great story. I was captivated throughout the entire piece. The beginning hooked my attention, as I was truly curious to find out how Alex solved the problem.

Your descriptions were spot on. I understood why the back porch was different from the front porch, and why it was going to be a much bigger painting job.

Oh my gosh! I'm not going to ruin the ending for anyone who might come across my review, but I absolutely loved the ending! I always wanted a Bengal Cat! *Wink*

I would definitely suggest editing to add something more to the genre part. Perhaps, Comedy and Family. You mentioned there that it was a contest entry. Maybe you might consider adding what the contest challenge was. For example, 'The challenge was to write a story about home improvement'.

I enjoyed this piece! Have a fun weekend! *Smile*

Review of Knock, Knock  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)


*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your scary story.

*Exclaim* Yikes! I seriously have goosebumps up and down my arms! Is that a normal reaction to your story? Your writing succeeded in giving me chills. I normally don't read scary stories - I thought the animated Coroline was too scary for me! LOL
I saw the, "Knock, Knock" title and I thought there would be a joke punch line somewhere in there, but instead it was like a scary campfire story like the ones we would hear at Halloween! I guess the give away is in the 'dark' and 'death' genre notes. *Laugh*

Nice work in absolute suspense from the beginning to the end. Gosh! I could imagine peering through the peephole and looking out into the darkness. I used to be the person who simply swung the door wide open, but one time in my life, there was a creepy guy there in the darkness. (I was expecting a late Amazon delivery at Christmas time.) He was all decked out in a hunting outfit, and wanted to know if, "I took his kill". I lived in a nice development where there was no hunting. It pulls in the brief introduction of making a person think about what they would do.

So I can imagine not seeing the mystery 'shrouded in the mist'. Your choices of words added to the chilling suspense of your story. Nice work.

Have fun this weekend! *Smile*

Review of Fortresses

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your philosophical poem.

*Exclaim* Hello Don! I loved your poem about building inner strength. It seemed very inspirational and pretty.

When I think of true poetry, my mind wanders to poetic words such as those you wrote in this poem. Fireflies, lightning bugs, and stars complete a scene of enchantment.

Your first stanza reminds me of the saying, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade'.
You, however, introduced a fresh new modern play on that, with the peppermill! Nice opening.

I heard a song the other day, Some Beach by Jimmy Buffet. I think a band would love your poem to put into a song! I particularly enjoyed your last stanza about the sandcastles.
It was very upbeat and would make someone feel great about the life experiences which they tried. *Smile*

Enjoy our WDC 20th-anniversary party!

Review of Trinkets  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your collection item.

*Exclaim* Hi Clear! Thanks for sharing your Trinket collection item.

It was very thoughtful of you to share your trinkets, and highlight some of your friend's ports at the same time.

I never go out of my way to find trinkets, so it was fun to see a lot of them featured here.

So sad to hear about the passing of your cat, Sabrina, but it is sweet that you have the memory of her in a trinket. It's the purrrrfect name for a black cat. I watched all of the Sabrina reruns (when there was no more of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and your cat reminds me of that cat. I think its name was Salem.

I like your other 'cat' trinket, too, of your neighbor's kitten. I used to have a cat named Penelope which looked a little like that.

What a fun week to view your trinket collection - during our site party! I feel like I received party favors!

Thanks for putting this together, and have a great time this week on WDC. *Delight*

Review of The Jesters' Lie  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)


*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your fun poem.

*Exclaim* Hi Jim! I thought I'd stop by to review one of your items during our site party.

So bye, bye Miss American pie! Here we hear about the Jester again, and his 'lie' about doing fine, when there is more than meets the eye. I liked how you opened with a play on Healthy, wealthy and wise. It set the theme of this poem well, and gave me an idea about what might come.

You succeeded in making your readers feel the suffering that Jester is feeling. Your poetic words followed his path of doom. I like the twist about how his defeated soul, finally at rest, starts all over again.

I really enjoyed the rhyme pattern of your mysterious poem. I see that, even with words which have trouble rhyming perfectly, it all still flowed in nicely. Great job.

Nice touch, by the way, of adding links to your previous 'Jester' themed poems at the end.

Enjoy the festivities! *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your unique and fun piece.

*Exclaim* Hi Tidzaman! I was intrigued by your A - Z item about coronavirus. I'm glad I clicked on this because it was so much fun to read!

Although it's a short piece, I can tell that it took a lot of time and thought. Writing something with every word starting with a letter of the alphabet from A to Z can't really be too easy. I know it would take me a while to figure out something which makes some amount of sense. *Smile*

You did what you can do with a Corona Virus theme. I don't truly understand the 'meditation' part of it, but I guess it takes concentration for sure. It would be a challenge to do it again from Z to A, but with positive parts of Coronavirus in it. ...Zestfully, youthfully, Xavier whimsically vocalizes...

Nice work. *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your list of good things.

*Exclaim* Hi Edwin! I really enjoyed reading your list! There are great things that came from the Covid 19 lockdown. Sure, we would much rather not ever have had it, but you looked on the bright side of things. Like, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

I especially loved your line, "Garages, kitchen pantries and drawers everywhere have been purged and reorganized" LOL It's so true! I did a lot of that, and so have my neighbors. *Smile*

Yes, we've all probably also cooked and used gadgets, like air fryers perhaps, which we might not have used before.

I hope you continue to add to your well done list. Maybe we learned to play new instruments or learned a new language. Our pets love that we're home most of the time. I have done lots of walking, so I believe (as you mentioned with the bike riding) that people are learning to exercise without their use of health clubs. I learned to cut my bangs, and then I simply grew them out. Gosh, my hair got so long now! We all learned to do for ourselves. *Smile*

I found just one little typo toward the bottom quarter - " Many families are eating healthier home0cooked meals more often."

You mentioned in the introduction of your list that it generated a lot of discussions.

I hope it continues the discussions, and that people keep an optimistic attitude. This won't last forever, but people will see all the positive effects it might have brought.

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your item.

*Exclaim* Well done poem, Web. Although it speaks of sadness from our current global problem, I felt that it was a full filled poem, filled with warm and sentimental memories.

I didn't wear my green shirt this St. Patrick's Day because I had a bad case of pneumonia. I would have worn it around the house, but I did put a different green shirt on...Vomiting and fevered with pneumonia took the fun out of my original outfit. *Frown*

This was the first St. Patrick's Day that hubby and I didn't celebrate, but I really enjoyed the burst of St. Patrick's Day sentiments throughout your fine poem. You spoke of everything related to the theme... Erin go Bragh, pubs, Irish beer, Irish stew, Leprechauns and pots of gold, corned beef and cabbage, smiling Irish eyes - You hit it all!!

I thought the very best part of your poem was the delightful rhyme. Beautifully done! It made it a pleasure to read, as it flowed so smoothly.

I would center the poem, and make it in green font. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Good job. *Smile*

I love that you had Cupid borrow Santa's sleigh. It was very creative of you to mix Christmas and Valentine's Day.

It was creative of you, to write about a dragon who was feeling his age, making him discouraged about life. Your readers were able to understand how he pondered about his own past and present, while life went on around him.

I liked that you added a happy ending, which was fitting for the last line of a Happy New Year, as the dragon realized that he can transform.

Great title for this story poem. *Delight*

*Exclaim* Hi Rhychus! I found your poem on the 'read and review' list.

What an interesting contest. It sounds fun and easy for everyone. You might consider adding a link to the contest under your poem, so we can all enjoy it, and see what the theme was. I noticed, for example, you have one word highlighted in your poem. Perhaps a little might be mentioned about that word.

Great presentation! I like the clean look and the way you centered the poem.

The title goes well with the poem, which talks about how well the manners of minors can be improved with mentoring. Great work and good luck in the contest.

Happy WDC Celebration week!

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your fun poem.

*Exclaim* (((Itchybarn))) So great to read a poem which you wrote!
I absolutely smiled while I read each and every stanza! *Bigsmile**Delight*

What an awesome presentation!
I liked that you chose red font to nicely complement the redish ladybug cover image.

My favorite poems are those that rhyme. Your rhyme scheme flowed very smoothly, which added to the fun experience of reading your poem.

I also liked that your poem told a story and included factual information about the little bugs. Your readers will learn about their colors, what they look like, and about how they hate to be kept in cases!

I thought it was a nice touch to end at the beach. It drew attention back to the title.

Thanks for sharing your entertaining story. *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your story.

*Exclaim* Oooh, what a captivating story! I liked how it began with a dream.

Maybe you'll be tempted to write a chapter book of it someday, so we can read about Elsa's experience at the Las Vegas strip!

I enjoyed reading your story. Your readers can feel the hurt and frustration which Elsa endures from her bully husband and lonely life.

I did come across just a few small typos.

Here you wrote: " "No!" She said aloud, setting straight up in bed." sitting straight up...

Here, "Elsa sit up in bed and check the clock" ...sat up in bed and checked the clock.
