This poem reminds me of birds that mate for life. It definitively describes a deep and loyal love between the poet and their partner. I can sympathize. I too would rather live the rest of my life in the worst argument we have ever had than say goodbye to my partner.

This poem captures the process of writing a poem. The poem discusses the responsible use of words, they can hurt or help and that should always be kept in mind when putting pen to paper or finger to keyboard. The anguish over the right wording is clear and I know I have felt it.

I like this rendition of a spring poem. it touches on most of the typical symbols of spring. I like the lambs frolicking and the chirping chicks that is better than simply saying new life being born. It is more specific and offers sensory images that really help the tone of the poem.

Oh boy. In the last hour I have read optimistic, pessimistic, humorous, and romantic spins on the life of toilet paper. I think I like this melancholy view the best. It isn't just a case of the toilet paper bemoaning its fate it is the toilet paper empathizing with the pain of its user. I think it is one of the sweeter ones.

This view on the life of toilet paper is refreshing in that it reveals one of the many other than the obvious fates of toilet paper. I like that this doesn't aim directly for the brown frowning destiny most toilet paper faces. I also like that the toilet paper seems to have romantic feelings for the woman.

Review of Osteoarthritis  
Review by Spring in my Sox

Ouch! Usually it is physical injury that I associate with being the cause of arthritis pain but this poem equates it with the emotional or psychic loss of a loved one. The struggle of movement from the physical pain does seem to echo the emotional pain of trying to move on without someone you love. I like it!

This is a very dark poem. It treats time like an enemy that is stealing something from the poet. The poem focuses on the loss of time and the destiny of all things to end. It is really pessimistic. Very glass half empty. Never mind that as time has passed much has been gained too.

This is a good story poem that reveals a piece of the author's culture. There were a couple of places where the phrasing was awkward but for a nonnative English speaker, I think this poem is just about perfect even the imperfections add to the flavor of the poem. I appreciate this window into another culture and the new information I now possess.

This is a well-written acrostic poem. I like the images and the emotions it portrays. It fits the internal theme well and the ending line outside of the acrostic part is perfect it seems like it is almost an inside joke like see it's an acrostic about Valentine's day.

I thought it was a historical period piece being it was from the covid lockdown. Imagine when I got to the bottom and discovered you based it on prompt two instead of one. There are a few typo/ grammar blunders but I can't tell if it is a part of the story or not in the places I saw them so no big deal. Overall good story cool characters!

Review of Dad Holmes

That is a funny little story. I can see this dad telling dad jokes and being a really good dad. The daughter is clearly exhausted by her father's quirky sense of humor and incessant attempts of making everything a mystery. I wonder why Ted was trying to trap squirrels though.

I like the way this poem looks like a the tornado of chaos in the poet's mind. I follow it well it shows all the way through the point it is trying to make, especially in the last stanza. I really like the whole effect this poem has. And the way it pitters off at the end is perfect.

I have a sister like that! I would have to say that I think they will grow out of their behaviors but, she's turning forty in two months and well, I am still waiting. Your tweet was not out of line they were. This was a well-written rant. It shows a lot of fuming thoughts went on before you wrote it down. I am sorry something so ridiculously frustrating happened but at least a good piece came from it...

This is a good story. I think it could be expanded into a longer story possibly a book. You could go into detail about the treasure hunt. More flashbacks would be good. Maybe a letter from his friend. there are so many wonderful places this could go and I want to read more of it!

Wow, it is the perfect snapshot of a summer day. It engages all of the senses. The onomatopoeia are well placed and well-chosen. The images are carefully crafted from the eye squinting glare to the water gurgling. the droopy pants and the rest of the character's wardrobe really establish who he is as a person. Well done!

Nice cliffhanger. This is an interesting story. I would suggest changing one of your categories to lgbtq or whatever the equivalent. That way people looking for that kind of story can find it more easily. I loved your characters. A little more description of the characters would be good. I assume the previous parts explain the beginning of this story that I have jumped into the middle of.

My suggestion is that you place an extra return between your paragraphs to make it a bit easier to read, it doesn't automatically indent to indicate new paragraphs and it is a hard read as it is. I also would suggest that you increase the font size to 4 or 5 for members with poor vision. Anything you do to make for an easier reading experience increases the chances for someone to read your story. I would also consider putting this into a book item if your membership level allows it. Then you could put a chapter per entry. That would make it easier to read too rather than having to read six chapters in one sitting which was hard to do. I got lost a couple of times.

The poem is a cautionary tale of what can happen when you are infected with an earworm song. The truth is they are very common. The dangers of earworm songs are everywhere. I think the character could have infected her boss and Ms Garnett and that is why she was fired.

I never got to meet my mother's mom. She passed away before I was conceived. I would give anything for the kind of memories this poem describes. I feel they were portrayed in a very accessible way even for someone who didn't know their grandmother. Great job!

I find a fresh clean plain white piece of paper to be the most frightening thing in all of writing. I have dozens of beautiful journals in which I intend to write things. The problem is I am terrified of ruining them. I feel like how could anything I write be as beautiful as the journal was before I wrote on it.

This is an interesting form I don't think I have ever tried. I liked the elements of the season it highlights and the colors make it really vivid in my mind. I can see a magical celebration. I can see a hint of spring in it and a huge pile of fall leaves.

I like this poem, sometimes acrostic poems can be kind of silly or sappy. I liked what the poet chose to highlight in this one about February. From Punxsutawney Phil to valentines day. It might have been cool having a reference to leap year or lack of leap year.

From the first line, I thought this was going to be a sad story about the loss of love, but the story took a different off-ramp. Instead this is the story of a life turned around. Of making the choice not to think of oneself as old and used up just because a marriage failed. It becomes inspirational as the symbol of that failure pays for a whole new life.

Interesting start to something. I would be interested in both the backstory and the answer of where this was going. The idea of a woman president is kind of cool I can only wonder how she left the presidency. Perhaps in dishonor? Perhaps it was just by being what is considered a good president when it is a man. Possibly both at once.

Short, but significant. I can't tell if robin volunteered for this conversion for sure or not. I have to wonder if there is an opposite group offering a change from male to female it would be only fair that some guys make that transition, fair and far more traumatic. I am not sure they could handle it.

Oh, so sweet. I loved this one. It is so romantic. She gives up everything to be with him. It is just so... cute. The characters are perfect. I would love to read more about the "Immortal" culture. It is just so cool a worldbuilding concept. It takes the whole magic is just technology we don't understand yet to the next logical step.
