Review of Nymph Rhapsody  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
The image and your words brought me to another time and place...days of
old when the forest glades called to me, and I would spend hours sitting listening to
the sounds of this magical place.

You were able to renew the emotions that one feels at the meer idea of our beautiful
forests shrinking, and our future generations not being able to experience nature's
delights. Sadness, loss, and the desire to return, if only to see once more the scene
your words describe.

My favorite part is.."The sounds of birds, the wind in trees, music that abounds
in the wings of butterflies, the humming of the bees
in perfect counterpoint to the sighing of the breeze." To me, this is the music of the
universe - pure- delightful- and never ever ending. Thank you for reminding the reader
of this beautiful scene.

God bless you always with the ability to bring the reader to another time and place with
your words. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

MAGOO,
A delightful poem that brings me to another time and place when my own babies were
part of this scene...the highchair days. Your story portrayed the tot all sticky and gooey,
learning to eat...while the pup waited patiently knowing he would surely get a treat.

My favorite was..."Yes, he's my new best friend and I'm his special pup, He makes quite the mess and I'm glad to clean it up." I liked that you kept this as a surprise ending.

God bless you always with the ability to capture a scene and delight the reader, bringing
the reader to the time and place you wish to share with us.

Review of Rust in Peace  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Garnet~

Seldom do I share what I read with my husband, but this was an awesome trip back in
time for both of us...
 Rust in Peace  (13+)
983 words about a car, a past and a wish to reclaim one and revisit the other.
#1376020 by Garnet


OVERALL IMPRESSION...Your sense of humor is evident, and after the title
"drew me in" the first paragraph set the stage for a vivid "trip" down memory lane.
There is nothing like your first car...and especially if it is a powder keg waiting for the"go ahead" from a enthusiastic driver.

You carried interest as your words continued..."when that chunk of metal showed her true
soul and let her dark side take control." but you also showed your good judgment with...
"I knew my limitations, and I knew that car had no limitations and it needed a crazy man
at the wheel." More memories again came to our minds as we read together your story.

SUGGESTIONS..There is nothing I would change unless it would be to write a book...
This is a subject dear to the hearts of many from that era, and to collaborate with others
and more of yours, you would have a "Best Seller" in my opinion. I loved this road trip
with your first muscle car...may she always "Rust in peace" but never be forgotten.

God bless you always with a sense of humor, a sense of perception , and most important
good common sense as you demonstrated as a teen...~ keep writing and making other
enjoy the moment as they travel along with you. This is a gift, and you use it well.

Review of The Iceberg  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This was a very different "take" on the sinking of the Titanic..and it caught my
interest from the beginning.
 The Iceberg  (E)
This is an entry for a contest.
#1526735 by Dorianne


It was a very beautiful picture your words painted, with sound bites included. This allowed
the reader to become one with the writer, as the iceberg continued its journey on that
April day.

My favorite lines."its beauty was destined to be like polished glass." and.."Ice cold waterfalls cascaded down pristine sides that faced the sun." To this point, the reader is
still enjoying the absolute beauty that you described.

You created a beautiful scene of the northern waters, building up to little bits of what was to come...when your words spoke of the noisy cries of the growlers breaking off on that "ominous day" the reader then is alarmed, but encouraged to read on.... This spark of intrigue changes the scene from peaceful setting of natures awe to...a ship, a veteran captain, rich people dancing, and then...."no one hearing the warning sound".......

You wrote the closing line just as it happened, truthful~ "the luck of the great cruise
ship, nature would soon annul." A solid ending that leaves the reader fulfilled but
saddened, for history cannot be rewritten.

I liked the extra mile that you went to include something many of us did not know
about the dogs on board...a special touch to know that dogs are always faithful 'til the very
end!

God bless you always with the ability to write and touch the reader, allowing him to travel
with you to another place and time. This is a special gift for any writer to cherish, and
you use this talent well.

Review of The Race  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Your words painted a picture all to familiar....street drag racing between teens.
This was colorful, and allowed the reader to "capture the moment". Luckily for you
the embankment was not a tree or another car

My favorite line was..."Painted gray like liquid steel, if I go too fast the paint will peel."
You have a great flair and imagination....loved that this time it was only a daydream written
in class, and not for real, but you were able to set the mood with this awesome beginning.

God bless you with imagination and always the love of writing. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

A beautiful poem...as I read it I felt the stillness of the moon, but then the water's
rippling made the light dance on the water...Your words brought peace, and serenity,and allowed the reader to inhale the fragrance you described as "spiced air".

Your words painted a beautiful scene that made me want to read it again and ponder
on the beauty you found and were abe to share so dramatically I really enjoyed this,
and will add it to my favorite places to visit when I need to journey to a special place

Review of I MISS YOU MOM  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This touched me very deeply, and as I read it, I could see your Mom smiling down
from heaven at you. NEVER will she be far away. A mothers love is eternal and can
never be taken away...she will be with you whenever the birds sing, She will be with you
as the breeze kisses your face on a summer day. She will be with you on the cold nights
whenever you snuggle under warm blankets.

When you can write and stir emotions in another, that is a gift from God. When you can
remember your mother's love, that is a gift from God. But the very best gift of all is that
you know one day you will be reunited..and that hope is the greatest gift of all!

May God bless you always with the ability to stir anothers soul and make another reflect
on the beauty of God's promises. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Rose,
 A letter to my soul.  (E)
A girls struggle with her new life after a big move, a letter to who she used to be.
#1507376 by rose

This is profound, and touched me deeply because I have been there, so your words were
abe to bring me to another place and time.

I liked the last line, because these words draw the reader to search for the words that
might inspire the author to draw on her own strength, which is a gift from God, given to
all. This strength is called "hope" and if you draw on it, it will grow and grow. It is like
after you have fallen off a cliff into a dark ravine, just a flicker of light is enough, and when you follow, you receive more until you are able to climb to the top once more.

Keep on writing, your words inspire readers to share hope...I think of the words of
a famous poet..."How far that little candle throws its beams, so shines a good deed in a
naughty world." from the MERCHANT OF VENICE.... Sorry, can't remember the author, but the words came to me after reading your poem. Hope is the light you must seek first.
Never never let that die!

God bless you, Rose, with His gift of Love, and Hope, and the ability to inspire empathy and compassion with your written words *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of Breathless  
Rated: E | (5.0)
MARK,
Your words painted a picture of the three stages of life, and profoundly touched this reader.
I have lived through all, and your words in the last verse really were very true in some
instances...and inspire the reader to do the best to keep from being "winded'..by NEVER
allowing "the magic to die!"

I really enjoyed this and there is nothing I would change....unless I could return to my
childhood just for one day to breath in all the wonder and surprise of each moment.
It is the young and the old who do live in the present..inbetween somewhere in the middle,
some tend to miss the present while seeking for a more prosperous future...Old age
comes way too soon. This poem causes one to reflect, to contemplate, and to try and
make the best of what there is left in life. Thank you again for writing this.

God bless you always with the ability to cause reflection, to inspire others, and to let the
reader enjoy your words! *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of Dimensions  
Rated: E | (5.0)
MOTHERMOUSE,

As I read this poem, I looked upon the beauty as you described. I loved the way you
started each verse with "ONCE UPON A DREAM"...and I enjoyed traveling to these
dimensions with you. I also heard the babbling stream, and the call of the "whip-o-the-will."

I FELT POETRY as I read your words...all life to me is poetry, and you captured it well here.
This was inspirational, happy, ..peaceful.." .the crackeling of a cozy fire" and brought
to mind my childhood, and my love of being imaginative...this was delightful to read.

God bless you always with the ability to take the reader to another place and time and
rekindle childhood delights and grown up's love of nature and its beauty. *Heart*

Review of Abandoned  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Rod,
This brought tears to my eyes, as it carried me to another time and place..a garden
so beautiful and alive, now most likely echoing your words in this poem.

Your words indeed painted a picture of what once was filled with life and love..now if I had to choose, my favorite would be...in speaking of the blossoms that were once flourishing,
..."...in deepening gloom. The dancing bee laments their passing, While moving on to
Pastures new.

You have created a very lovely reflection of the love your Grandfather gave to making his
world a better place, and your vivid memory allowed the reader to feel his love also.
Thank you for sharing your appreciatiion of him with me.

God bless you always with the ability to touch another with your profound writing, such as
you have done in this lovely poem. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of Anything?  
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a sincere plea to a person that the reader has a love for, but feels abandoned by the one person who matters the most. It is touching simply because it is clearly written from the heart with passion.

You have evoked many emotions, love, despair, hope, pain confusion and ended with
a simple request ending with "PLEASE". i wonder who could possibly reject a person
with such an honest and heartfelt approach to show their love for another. This would
have to be only someone totally undeserving of the writers love.

I would welcome you to WDC, as it looks like you are a newbie, having only been here a
few days, and I hope you enjoy writing. This shows your sincerity, depth, and instills compassion in the reader. Keep on writing, and may God bless you with many friends
as you continue to expand your ability to touch the reader in such a profound way.

Baseball  (E)
Baseball is deticated to my sister. She plays baseball
#1462143 by Audrey Shablonski

This is a neat poem on baseball..you allow the reader to picture the scene as the ball
flys into the air and the hitter makes a home run. This is something that you never forget,
and reminds me of the excitement that stays even after that special moment is over.

KEEP up the good work, and i notice that you are also a horse lover...Hope to read more
of your work, especially if you write about horses...You will love this site, and all that
you are able to do with those who share your joy for baseball and for writing.

God bless you always with the ability to bring the reader along with you in whatever you
pursue to write about. iF you have any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone here, as
most are eager to help NEWBIES. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

JUDY,
Such a very tender story about a patient that you were able to show compassion to as
he spent his last hours on this earth. Having no family at his deathbed, brought tears to
my eyes, as your words allowed the reader to join this heartwarming and sorrowful
scene.

My Favorite PART...is.."In my heart, I believe and know that Ken was still capable of hearing
me and it truly made my day to be a comfort to him in his final moments of life." There is
no other quality more important in the life of a nurse, than that of compassion. That Ken
will be among the angels that watch over and protect you throughout your life, there is no
doubt in my mind to this fact.

God bless you always with compassion for others, and the ability to inspire love for our
neighbors in those who read your beautiful stories. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

 HEARTS AND SPACE SHIPS: a sonnet--winner  (E)
Rather than launch spaceships, men should launch kindness in their hearts.
#1455681 by Dr M C Gupta


This is a very well written and inspirational sonnet that teaches the reader the importance
of life and one of the fundamental purposes why man is here on earth. Your words inspire
reflection on kindness and how mankind wastes so much energy and money trying to
conquer space, when fellow beings are living in poverty and many starving on this planet.

To conquer space, and leave your brothers and sisters in dire need, would never gain
favor in the eyes of our Creator. You allow the reader to come to his own conclusion
about gravity, and why our purpose is to live on earth and become aware of one another's
needs.

MY FAVORITE PART IS.."No, please don't try to come near my heavens. I will come down
and bless every kind heart." My thoughts on this profound statement are that if God wanted
us to live and travel in space, then in His Wisdom, he would have given us wings and not
made so much space inbetween the galaxies. Yes, God is nearer than the heavens...HE
is as near to us as we allow HIM to be in our lives.

God bless you always with wisdom and the ability to inspire others. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of The Angels Came  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
PAT,
{c:bitem:1435236}
It is easy to see why this would win a blue ribbon...I was able to share your love for your
Mom as you waited for the angels to come and take her home. This was bittersweet,
and very spiritual.

MY FAVORITE IS.."Though it pained me to say, "Good-bye," I dreamed of her in heaven, and
sighed." What blessings it is to know that there is indeed life after death, and also that
there is an abundance of joy, and no tears or pain on the other side as we let our loved
ones go beyond this life.

God bless you always with faith and understanding of God's eternal plan of salvation.

All should read this and take it to heart..
The Mark of a Good Man  (E)
"A good man embraces optimism...His actions are guided by a higher purpose..."
#1388025 by Tim Chiu


This is so profound and very well written. You have given the reader much food for thought.
I think it is a good lesson for anyone reading this to consider your optimism and that it is
as you have pointed out "the mark of a good man." Another quality that you inspire the
reader to attain is to let your actions be guided by a higher purpose.

My favorite part is..."A good man possesses wisdom.....He is keenly aware of the consequences of his decisions..And always seeks to reward the good endeavors of
others. " Your advice is timeless and well thought out...There is a beauty in all your
words..."he forever loves his family, His wife, his children, his parents, and his siblings.
If all would live according to these wonderful qualities, this world would never have wars,
homeless people, and all the negative things that are happening all around us.

This is an absolutely wonderful philosophy, and everyone should read this and take it to
heart. There is nothing I WOULD change. IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING TO THE
SOUL.
God bless you with wisdom always and the ability to inspire all who read your lovely work. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of Times Are Tough  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Dear Tim,
You have written an interesting poem on baseball.
 Times Are Tough  (E)
"Only one is now left standing – Taking the pressure can be so demanding...."
#1439668 by Tim Chiu

The rhyme is aa,bb,cc,dd,ee, in the first verse, and the same in the second.
The syllabyle meter is a little off and is as follows
1st Verse....9,9,9,7,8,11,9,9,10,8
2nd Verse ..9,11,11,7,9,8,9,10,10,11

I really liked your ideas, and have made a few changes that would improve the meter and
also the flow. Feel free to use these changes or not. Please understand that this is
only my opinion and suggestions. I NOTICE that you have auto rewards, and I am returning
the gps with this, as that is not why I am trying to help.
With the changes the meter would be 9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9, in both verses.

You try all the while to win it all,
Then times are tough, you take your last fall.
Could it be once conclusions were reached
Things weren't exactly as some preached?
There's only one who's now left standing
Taking pressure is so demanding.
The players can't have it their own way
You must have skill in order to play.
Only one is King in every sport
All want the same~ a winning report.

Dramatic challenges surely bring
Times that are tough when you are the king.
Usually he does not struggle much
Hitting homers with just the right touch.
Statistics prove you'll have a good ride
And many hope to be on his side.
So, in the end, you'll check it all out
An amateur without as much clout...
Determined to play the game you love
As a player with God's help from above.

Thank you for sharing a poem about this sport. It is evident from your words that you
love playing baseball. God bless you always with joy and the spirit to enjoy all the fun
that baseball brings. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Dear MEG,
 THE TAILS OF LUCY AND BROCK.  (E)
The adventures of two doggy friends of mine.
#1280300 by Meg


This was a hearty "belly laugh" for our Circus contest on humor...These two doggie
rascals who learned how "escape" from the back yard and helped themselves to a
play date with their play mates at the park, will continue their Houdini act whenever they
can. I really liked the part where they were able to enter the store through the auto sliding
doors and frisk through the isles, knocking things off the shelves while the chase was
on.

They sort of reminded me of yearling calves we had one year who learned escape through
the barb wire didn't hurt all that much and they always found a different hiding place while
we hunted for hours for them....Your two will probably be snatched one day if the circus
ever comes to town...they are always looking for dogs with a trick up their sleeve.

Thank you for sharing this entry with WDC as you entered it in our Circus Contest ...it
really flowed well, and certainly made me laugh. Cheers to you for the funny poem...
God bless you always with a love for the funny side of life. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

Review of As Old as We are.  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Terja,
This is a very tender and romantic love poem.
 As Old as We are.  (13+)
This was, at first, a try at a meter I've not used before. It turned into this.
#1355712 by TerJa


You drew the reader in from the very first line.."Oh, the whispering sounds of the wind in the
glade." This set the stage of the two lovers whose memory takes then back to another
time and place, inviting the reader to journey with them. Your story shows that your love for each other has endured the "test of time." It would inspire others to hope the same might
be their blessing should they work to make their love last.

Your poem could well inspire youth to gaze into the future as they choose a lifetime mate, and find the qualities in another that will also stand the test of time, they would not be jumping in and out of marriage the way so many modern day "lads and maids" do today.
As they would read this, perhaps they would consider the possibility of being alone at middle age and beyond. When trials come and times get hard, they would not be so quick to run away from relationships rather than work to pull their load together.

MY FAVORITE PART IS...
"Then once more we will be that young lad and young maid.
For the old and the weary shall get their relief
And we'll go once again to the whispering glade
All it takes is a trust and a faith and belief.

Thank you for sharing your story of a love that endureth and withstands the "test of time".
God bless you both as you enjoy each other with a "forever love" and believe and trust
in Him to bless you now and for all eternity. *Heart*GYPYSROSE

Well HARRY, the only thing I can say about this poem is that it was a " lesson too
late for the learning"....when you gottta go, you gotta go, but never go on the side of the
road, you might just become the "star of the show".

This was honest, funny and although Beth didn't see the humor in it until later, this
could have ended up a lot worse had she rolled into a snake instead of ants.

My only suggestion would be to change the title, it is a little crude and may prevent some
from reading your poem. May be something like "Going into the "Bush"...It is only my
opinion, and I am sure you will think of a Title that will draw the reader in.

That is the only thing I would change..after all, you told it how it was, how could any
one change that...I bet Beth would love to relive that day over though!
God bless you for sharing joy and laughter with others. *Heart*GYPSYROSE

HARRY,
--- The Mockingbird Poems --  (E)
A poem about mockingbirds' singing at night.
#436279 by Harry

Two poems, both speaking of the MOCKINGBIRD, and both very lovely. The first one
raises the question of why he sings and "pierces" the night air with song in the dead of
night when all is still and quiet. The answers you have determined from your viewpoint
as a scientist are that he is calling for a mate, or marking his territory. I enjoyed your
approach from a poetic view is that in the stillnes and darkness of the night we are reminded by his song the promise of a beautiful tomorrow, giving hope to mankind. Also
that there is hope for a relief from the pain and darkness that falls upon us at times.

MY FAVORITE PART IS..."To those who would hear.. and understand.. the nighttime songster sings to offer Mankind hope, during all the blackest periods of his life, just as in
the dead of night." This is truly profound, and something all should comtemplate. You
have captured one of the mysteries of Creation. Thank you for sharing it with your readers.
I really enjoyed reading these poems. Keep up the great work.

God bless you always with understanding and the discernment needed to complete your
journey through this part of the eternities. *Heart*GYPSYROSE
