Review of Nightfall.  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
'The lady of the night.' A fascinating enigma. Your wording here brings your thoughts to life. 'Her embrace covers me like second skin' and 'the bosom of the night is a world uncharted' are without parallel. From beginning to end a very 'tight' piece with 'the story in your eyes' (Moody Blues). Enjoyable and well written.

Review of Sorry  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Well written with a lot of heart. Pure innocent flailing in emptiness from wronging. We all hurt and hurt. Very often without knowing what we do. A change in character and/or life character is what is needed more than sorry. Also being able to respond to, and 'baby' that other soul. helps a great deal.

Review of no more you and i  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
Heart-swollen with feeling. At points, the lineage seems slightly uneven, along with the rhyme scheme. Put to music I am sure this would 'sound' differently. Do you plan to put this to music? Do you write music? I am soulfully unable to create that music which I wish I could.

Review of Novel Butterfly  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
An excellent life cycle of this butterfly's realizations. Your rhyme scheme stays with the story, being a wonderful addition. Your words bring this butterfly to life for the reader. In particular ":metamorphosis of wing" and "flash of color in the sky" bring a reality to the birth and short-lived experience of the butterfly. Very well written, with a distinct look into the butterfly.

Review of Hope, where did it go.  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
If this is really you, you need to forgive and love yourself. If not, extremely well written in the third person. Very much like a poem I wrote about a hundred years ago.
Time flies, yet it can sure be fun. As a soothsayer I used to know once said "There is only one person responsible for how their day goes."

Review of When the light is gone  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
So sad. My life for one whole year, until I decided "I was sick and tired of being sick and tired." Everyone has down days, but try not to let them get you down. Depression loves company and depresses everything it can get its hands on. Be of good cheer and try to love #1...YOU!

Review of Woman and Wolves, A Snowy Day  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
A beautifully written fairytale. Your words bring very apt attention to your thoughts, combining both poetry and beauty in descriptive nuance. From beginning to end, I was rapt with attention on each descriptive phrase, as it continued into the next, all adding to the total concept and picture. Very enjoyable.

Review of One Candle Glows  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
A beautifully written piece...from beginning to end. A shattered life brought about through time's wringing hands. A remembrance of a love which once existed to the nth degree. Enjoyable, though heart-wrenching throughout. Excellent use of the beginning line over and over and...

Review of Hollow Dreams  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Very well done. My dream, and reality, reflect the emotional, and none, presented here in such realistic candor. A dream? Reality? Who really knows for sure which is which. In my mind, both are so irretrievably seared together, as to never know really for sure. Enjoyable and a mimic of mine.

Review of A melody of a song  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
Absolutely. Songs are notes to words which to me involve so much more than the original meaning. The words carry the tune into a different place, while the music carries the words along with it. If only I could write that music which creates melody for the words to be so involved.

Review of What Thanksgiving Means To Me  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Beautifully, and skillfully written. Love is the beginning and end-all of everything. A poetic remembrance and reminder of what a true Thanksgiving should be. Enjoyable from the beginning to the end, in thought and form. Just one question: who is he? But I think I know.

Review of Lesson 17: Modifiers  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
A fascinating and educational piece of literature. Something that often literature is not, fascinating and educational...add funny, you have outdone yourself. I, myself, am known for the dangling participle, which I hated to diagram in grade school since I had not a clue what a diagram was!

Review of Trying to Explain  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
"Offer empathy to both sides of this speculative matter." Indeed, we must wonder about other planets and their inhabitants, as they wonder about us. However, I do not believe that either they or we will be able to solidify the random search for other beings. Interesting.

Review of Haiku Fest "Seasons"  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
A wonderful piece, including very well done Haiku. Each season is well described while maintaining the form you chose. One point to ponder, in that two lines are missing one syllable each. Enjoyable, with great pictures for the mind. Enjoy and share are a great way to end.

Review of The Beatles, Abba Music Journal, Stories  

for entry "Soldiers
Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)
Love the picture of ABBA. Soldiers is one of my very favorite songs by them. My father was a soldier, as was my brother. I did not make it, as I was 4F and a student at the time. If I had gone, I would not be here today...I could not shoot anyone if I had to.
I love reading words "out of context." Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan. Fabulous.

Review of Fireworks  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
A very well written pictograph, bringing all that creates the 4th to life. I can see and hear the sights and sounds which I shall always remember and ever miss. Those awesome spectacles that created and maintained my memories, as well as leading my life to where it now dwells. Thank you for the 4th.

Review of Fantasy  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Great idea! Superb adjectival words, bringing pictures close to mind. I have had such thoughts in the past, caressing all of the universe in one universal sweep. A fascinating journey when one is inclined to go on the ultimate passage. Thank you!

Review of Tornado  

Review by mifferMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
A very heartfelt realistic picture of the drama which is a tornado. Horrific by nature and design, so much devastation can occur in such a short time period. They were still alive which is the major accomplishment, in the leavings which signal and determine this fantasmic occurrence.
