The "Read Any Good Book's Lately?" recommendation forum is a great place to learn about what other writers are reading and what might be a good book to check out.
It is simple, no pressure and laid out in a friendly clear fashion that is easy to understand and contribute your selections under the recommendation line.
I posted my fav author/book right away and expect to visit again real soon!
This great folder holds to C-note images from Omi/Loco/Kitty ashamed and they are both very well done.
One is a comical, funny type C-note when you just want to brighten up a friend's day while the other C-note is a wonderful celebratory type of C-note that would be a perfect gift for expectant parents.
If you are looking for some good images to send to a friend, make sure you stop by here.
The poem, 'Our Love Unfurled', speaks of the first few sparks of love, so tender and new.
So deep are the feelings, the emotion, that they overflow; they cannot be contained.
I enjoyed the line: "To grow, discover, and be as one.
We have only just begun"; you can see the promise of a new day filled with challeneges anew, bound together in love.
Each word of each line speaks of a love that is joyful and true; I loved reading this poem!
The poem, 'Living with Pain' speaks of a subject that many of us don't like to discuss; a life that is is filled with pain, and not the pain of a broken heart or spirit but of a pain due to an illness.
The writer takes us into the mind of a person whose body is striken with pain, a pain that does not leave and how it can affect the mind to become filled with resentment and hurt because this pain always is present with them, it never leaves.
I was struck by the line: "All alone nowhere to hide
Wish for someone by my side"; isn't this so true, that when you are hurting, sometimes all you need is for someone, anyone to care enough to remain. To be there through the pain?
This poem, "when a boy and a girl" is written in a straightforward warm and honest manner.
The poem addresses the first "love bug" bite that many young boys and girls receive and the emotions that ensue from it. How can one tell their child that they are not really in love and that this will soon pass?
I like the line - "when a girl thinks her love life should start with a young and impressionable heart". Oh! the perils of young love and the young hearts that are easily hurt if love goes astray. This is honest and I liked it.
I also like the final wrap up at the end when the two kids want to make grown-up decisions, or if the parent can see that this person is all wrong for their child...what is a parent supposed to do?
Who can answer that question? It would seem that the parent can only do what they can with what they are gifted with to deal with their child.
I enjoyed this poem. I found myself smiling as I remembered the days of young love and my parents trying to just roll with what I wanted to do. :-0
This poem, "Fire" speaks on the mental thoughts and musings on what it would feel like to burn alive.
The writer takes the dark journey through the valley of death as he describes the physical side of burning, yet I was hoping that there would be some thoughts, hypothetical of course, that the author would provide as he watched his body become consumed by the fire. It seems that the author might have been approaching this from the scientific side, not wanting to delve into the mind of the person and their last thoughts from this side of life.
I must commend the author for tackling such a rough subject and it was an interesting read.
This piece called "A Hare of a Tortoise" makes a great comparison against the seemingly slow tortoise and the aged person who somehow makes it through life, just like the hare. Getting from here to there but making it just the same.
The threat of the bloody smash always seems far away when one thinks of the friend (or of their own) rescue of the slower creature trying to make it along the road.
This is a great work and I enjoyed reading this!
"for the love of writing; in pursuit of your dreams"
Who can forget what they were doing the day that the world stood still again? It is said that time stopped for many people the day JFK was shot but that was long before many of our days.
Who knew that on Sept. 11, 2001 our world would stop as dramatically as it did? This personal writing on the emotional and physical manifestation of the deaths on Sept. 11 as told here is very well done.
Well, Firedrake of Ice...I guess I learned a thing or two here from this rant. You have presented the "problem" of incorrect grammar speak (which I am doing right now) in a light-hearted, easy to digest manner that I thoroughly enjoyed to the end!
I love how you conveyed the frustration you felt with symbolism that was right on point and truly caught my attention! I do have to admit that I felt there was a bit of nerdiness about the writing but you are aware of this and pointed it out, so I was rude in stating this.
I must note that this stems from a genuine "concern" regarding the apparent lack of concern in this area and you just had to let everyone know this.
You did it with style and finesse, not to mention, with good English! Bravo!
Say, is the NAG group accepting any apps? I could use some halp with mah Aenglash...uh huh! Im uhsaprin writa, ya no!
Well, I am not sure what you were hoping to get from this poem but I know what you consider honor I consider foolishness. There is a way to speak your mind lyrically {which this poem is lacking in} and the typos need revising.
"but when she embraced "the" skeikh in her lap"
and "owes" not OWE.
Sorry that I couldn't rate it higher; the message is one that I cannot feel.
What an experience this is and I just loved this story. One day, you were driving down the road with the cow in the back of your truck, never wondering about the meaning of life and bang! the next day, you get abducted by Michael Jackson!
Sophy...what else can I give you? Your folder of poems already is a top notch piece of work! Great job on everything. I can't wait to really dig in deep in the folder and see what I can see!
I had to give this writing a perfect score because you held to the topic of the this "how to" on review writing. It is very informative and necessary for many of the writers here, me specifically, to understand how to write a good review.
I know why a piece of writing strikes me as good but many times I struggle to convey this to the writer.
I know that this is necessary in order for me to develop this area of my writing. With reviewing tutorials like this out here at Writing.com, I think we will all be on our way. Thanks for your help!
Your writing is honest, open and real in its true form of expression. How trapped you must have felt all of those days until you realized that it was right for you to grieve, to express what was true inside.
I liked your writing for the raw reality you spoke of that was once your life.
And I thank you for having the strength to put pen to paper with all that you went through for us to read.
What an honest courageous piece of writing, David West! I can feel your heart; your frustrations, the hopes being poured out simply in this prose you've written. I can feel you and you are on your way. The words are true, the style is not one I would have chosen, but I am not you. You are you. And you've done good here.
This is one of the most honest heartwrenching stories I've read in my time here!
One never knows how a terrible times in our lives can affect another person for good. God truly knows how to direct our lives and grants blessing to those who are willing to share to comfort another person.
This is a well written story which includes all of the noteworthy canines and canine friends of our time. It has great timing and flow to it. I just loved the ending...that was a great ending move to have Garfield show up!
Life is amazing, how through seemingly insignificant events people are brought together; live together who may have never crossed each others paths.
This story is told with such deep feeling in its design and unabashed honesty of a loss that nothing will replace. It is beautiful how his wife is still at the center of his thoughts, his love, his foundation.
This is a great story! Much luck to you in your future writing endeavors.
