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  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)


*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  
Rated: E | (5.0)


*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.

Review of Irish Void  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)


*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*

*Exclaim* *Laugh* LOL What a very funny poem!

Here is your one star as requested. *Bigsmile*

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

What a fun adventure! Stupid Cupid wasn't a very good shot with those arrows. ...And then the elves had to clean the sleigh afterward. Messy birds! *Laugh*

The post note at the end was a nice touch.
Five great stanzas of a fun tale. I found it very entertaining.
Good luck in the bad poetry contest.

THANKS FOR ENTERING!

*Star*This review is an acknowledgment of your contest entry, as well as some of my brief thoughts.

*Exclaim*I felt that the prompt words flowed in smoothly in your long story poem.

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*

Although it was a small piece, your poetic words told a clear and entertaining story, while presenting well-done descriptions. Your readers will envision breathy smoke floating lazily in the air.

We had a glimpse of the lonely dragon while he pondered his current circumstances and new possibilities for the coming year.

The prompt words also fit in well.

I also liked that you spread the prompt words out well, from the top to the bottom.

The best part for me, was the surprise and happy ending in the final stanza. *Delight*

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

*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!

*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*

*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.

I was glad to stumble across it because it was nice to reminisce contests, names of WDC members and items which brought back memories - especially now, during our site's 19th anniversary celebration.

The brief intro is unique and eye-catching.
I like the fun atmosphere and occasional humor in your item. It's also presented nicely, with a very organized look. Gosh, good for you to have kept up with it for so many years!

Just so you know, there are a few invalid items. We can't help having those pop up from time to time, as people come and go (...and so do their great items!)

Review of Woodpecker

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

*Exclaim* Hi Someone! I enjoyed reading your pretty poem. It reminded me of the sights and sounds of a green, spring day. I often hear the birds outside and the sounds of woodpeckers.

I liked that you took your poem through the journey of the determined woodpecker building her home. We saw the world through what the woodpecker would actually be going through.

She pecked away trying to create that home, despite all of the hardships, such as predators and other dangers. It finally had a wonderful home before the storm arrived, which I thought was a nice, happy ending.

Great choice making the font green, as it adds to the pleasant experience of reading your poem. Nick work! *Smile*

*Exclaim* Hi Purple Princess! I couldn't help but give this great item a bright purple awardicon!

I love cNotes, and these are really cute! I like all of them, but my favorite is the last one of the couple with the caption, "There's nothing better than you!"

I'm glad you put the purple image first, because it goes so well with your theme of purple. *Bigsmile*

The introduction writing is a nice touch, and it was a good idea to list three of your other cNote shops.

I normally don't use cNotes which are over 750 gps, but these will be nice to use for special occasions like Valentine's Day.

I hope you eventually complete this shop by adding more of the Romantic cNotes. Great work!

Enjoy the WDC Birthday Celebrations this week! *Delight*

*Exclaim*Hi Typo! I enjoyed the nostalgia of your TV item. Some of those, like Howdy Doody, Sky King and Rin Tin Tin, I've never seen, but I smiled at the memory some of those other ones brought back.

Heck, I still watch the reruns of Star Trek and Bonanza these days! I was just thinking about Happy Days yesterday when my husband and I was a Twilight zone with a very young Ron Howard in it. I think he was in that before he ever landed a role in Mayberry.

I would add a few pictures here and there throughout your story of shows like Captain Kangaroo and Bat Man. Or, why not add in a few popnotes for people who aren't familiar with the shows. The following is an example of a popnote:

*Exclaim* Hi Meg! You're poem about one of my very favorite birds caught my attention. I've been to Australia three times, and each time I always enjoyed seeing the Kookaburra birds at the parks.

I liked how your poem told a story. I could picture the bird sitting in a tree, waiting for his favorite food to go by. In this case, he finished his breakfast, and was setting up for lunch! *Laugh*

I never thought about what a Kookaburra eats before. I imagined it ate fruit. ...So I learned something from your poem.

I liked how you wrote how they laugh. *Smile*

Your image isn't working, btw. I put one of mine at the bottom of this review. *Bigsmile*

Review of Dead Leaves

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)


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

*Exclaim* I thought this was a really creative story for a short fiction.
I could imagine a dull classroom, where students minds get lulled into a half-asleep daydream.

My favorite description was of the carpet of leaves outside the classroom window. I felt that it painted the picture of autumn breezes well.

I wasn't sure how old Clayton was, but I assumed he was a young child. Maybe now that the contest is over, you might add a few more lines to this little story to elaborate more on Clayton's age and the age of the narrator. You might also mention why the narrator was having this daydream. Was he psychic?

Speaking of the contest, it doesn't seem to be in business anymore, so I would remove the link to it, but I would keep the prompt.

Nice work with the descriptions and with putting this creative story together. *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your great Chicken recipe.

*Exclaim* Okay, so I'm sure this is the first time my new puppy experienced watching me laughing out loud at my computer...My five year old Boxer is used to such outbursts. Thanks for making my day! I loved reading your recipe, and if you ever write a cook book, please let me know because, not only would I buy it, but I'd buy several copies to give out as gifts. *Cool*

So, it takes two beers to finish making this dish..*Laugh*

I love the humor throughout. One of my favorite lines: "You can use any kind; your own leftovers, KFC, or that bag of hot wings your gal smuggled out of the restaurant where she works" So funny!!

I liked how easy your recipe is. I was getting hungry reading it. I'm sure it tastes awesome. I might print it out and have my grown kids make it next time they visit. They'll get a kick out of it, and I'll be sure to hide the ketchup but leave a jar of Ragu around instead. *Delight*

Thanks again for sharing. This was a treasure of fun. *Smile*
Enjoy your weekend!

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

*Exclaim* Ah, as I type this in my house, I can imagine being on that beach.
The sights and sounds of your well-written poem brought me right to it.

I could imagine a young poet, inspired by the salty air, crashing waves, and damp sand, experimenting with rhyme and beauty with her pen in hand.

You made me wish I were on that beach, feeling the sand on my feet. Great descriptions of what could be going on. The little flowers and steaming soup were great additions, but my favorite was the way it began. The beach dreamed of summer visitors. Very nicely done.

Awesome name of the beach, by the way. ...Crabapple Beach...Is that a real place?

Enjoy your weekend, Joy, and happy dreams of summertime beaches. *Beach*

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

*Exclaim* Hi Pure Sci Fi, and happy anniversary week! *Smile*

I loved your poem. You mentioned that it was your first try at poetry, so I really hope you write more like this sometime. In fact, I thought your poem read just like an epic story poem. You might like to write another one for contests such as this: "Invalid Item" 
It's all about story poems, such as yours.

I enjoyed reading through this fantasy tale about the battle in space. Of course, I am a bit partial because I love everything Star Trek! *Laugh*

Your readers can feel the intensity of the ship suddenly being attacked by surprise.
The ship seemed to be still in the darkness of vast space, when the other ship proceeded to fire. I thought that the descriptions of the laser balls of light exploding were a nice effect.

I liked your ending stanza the best. It leaves your reader pondering the situation. We wonder why this could have happened. The ship attacked and it was over as quickly as it began. You succeeded in creating an ending, which keeps your reader thinking about your poem. Nice work. *Smile*
