Review of My Legacy  
Review by Spring in my Sox

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a very emotionally mature piece. It shows that a lot of self-knowledge has been gained. There isn't as much self-degradation as I have seen in some of this author's other pieces. The advice offered to an unconceived future child seems clear and valuable to me.

Beautiful, the first part of this story almost made me want to cry, but the progression to the end was the perfect unfolding of a new realization of oneself and one's needs. It led to a mature understanding of love and the fact that love doesn't have to come from outside.

Oh, my. I am not sure how I would have taken this situation. I can see myself playing what if, what if it had been me, I was on the same route on the same day, it could have been me? Fortunately the author doesn't wallow in self pitty about this. they seem to be attempting to honor their lost comrade for the cause. It is a much more healthy reaction to it than I would have had.

Review of My Weakness?

I think the author isn't giving themself enough credit. This poem like the last one I read spoke to me of someone who doesn't properly value themself. I hope that with time they have come to discover their own worth to themself and to those of us around them that are truly inspired by them.

This poem left me kind of sad. I feel for the poet. It sounds like the poet has been disappointed by much in life. Especially disappointed with themselves. It sounds as though they have trouble living up to their own expectations leaving entirely out living up to the expectations of others. I like the rhyme scheme and if it is a particular poetic form I might suggest putting in a drop note explaining it.

Review of All Over Again...

This poem sounds like the aftermath of the end of a relationship. I prefer to interpret it as a break up rather than the death of a loved one. A break up is ultimately survivable for nearly everyone. The death of a loved one can drag the remaining member of the relationship along after them.

I love the images you chose for each of the items on the list. The owl was cute, I remember hearing a story about something like that. I don't remember if it was an urban legend or not. My next favorite one was the picture of the disappointed child. I had Christmases like that.

Funny! Very funny! I love the torture references. It seems to be one thing and then you twisted it into something I totally did not expect. SO, did they time travel back to the middle ages and run afoul of the locals or is it some kind of renaissance fair type experience?

Oh, what a sweet story! I like the quiet wisdom of the grandfather. I love the shyness of the young lady. The way her embarrassment grows as she senses the direction of his story is absolutely precious. especially after she had been so dismissive of his story in the beginning.

Oh boy! WHat a setup for what a punchline. You should enter it in the humorous story contest I thought it was funny as well you know. The characters were on point for me. I do wonder why Pete went with his mom. What kind of meeting was it exactly? Doesn't really matter it just leaves me wondering how old he was.

I find second person point of view stories hard to get into. It takes a gentle hand for me to get into it. The "YOU"s throw me. What business does the author have telling me what I am doing? It is especially hard to get into if it describes situations I have never gotten anything near.

It's a cool idea. I can't wait to find out the meaning of the map and why it drew him back into the past. I have read stories like this where it turns out the person died in the future and got sent back in time to live. Or at least I think I have. I can definitely see hem not wanting to return home though.

So much potential he could learn about what happened to him from an indigenous shaman or crazy old man or not at all I just really want to read more.

This is one stream of consciousness that doesn't make easy sense without punctuation or proper grammar. Still the emotional power of these words clearly convey a passionate love. I hope it lasts, but it seems to be based on some far to superficial things for it to be a forever love...

Nice story. I feel for the pregnant woman having to raise their child alone. The descriptions are vivid and really draw you in by your senses. I love the ending with the implication that the ghost of her husband visited to leave her the Saint Christopher medal to say goodbye. I can see the child wearing it their whole life.

One big HA! followed by a smaller ha ha hee hee. Love it. I was singing it in my head and loving it. great poem! That was amazing! Funny as ****! I' would say do it again with another song but another song just wouldn't be as apt. I can't say how awesome it is.

This is a statement of sheer frustration at being ghosted. It can be hard to remember a time that the closest thing to instant messaging was a letter that took several days to get to the person you are sending it to. Sometimes messages don't go through but this sounds deliberate. The frustration is real!

Cool. I love this story Kissla should totally get everything she has ever wanted and this would totally be it! They make a good trio. If all of them love each other why not marry them all off? Then again it would soothe some of Kissla's angst and might cause internal character conflict. What would happen to her if she did get what she wanted.

The main character is willing to do some crazy things for her male friend. It is a puppy love, but I think that the healer is where her heart really lies. Trouble is this reads like a tragedy and I doubt that anything good is going to come of this for the main character.

My heart hit my stomach when the duke pocketed the ring I really had high hopes for the main character. It really sucks for her. Too bad the three of them couldn't be married. I think there is love all around. It is a good chapter and it really carries the story.

This is awesome. The main character is so tortured. One thing I got the two v names confused and wasn't sure if it was the duke or the wizard proposing to the healer. You might want to put a few letters between them to help clarify the difference. I didn't review the first two parts yet I wanted to finish it first I am going back to review them now. Once again great job!

I would suggest you change the rating on this story it is not rated E. Someone could report you on this. There are people on this site who can be real sticklers on things being rated correctly. Check out the storymistress's article on rating your writing for this site.

Dying for faith is not hard. Not if it is real faith. What can be difficult is living by that faith. All too often men grow to become hypocrites of their faith. That sounds like what happened with their jailors. They were so intent on their own faith they forgot that one of its tenants was probably thou shall not kill.

This is a primal scream of pain from grief. I have felt it and recognize it. I don't know who the poet lost but there is definite pain there. It can be hard to survive this kind of pain but eventually, it does pass. It takes a different amount of time for each person. Hang in there, try not to dwell on the absence. Remember the good that was there.

The rhymes are spot on, but the rhythms are off. It can be hard to balance rhyme and rhythm at the same time in a poem. I give this an E for good effort. A little tweaking and you might be able to even out the rhythm. Though it is a good poem as it is.

This poem seems to be the story of a shopaholic. The pathological need to spend beyond one's means is common in the modern world. Just one more purchase and you will feel better. Only you feel worse because you are further indebted or you have spent the last credit you have and you know you can't buy anything more to make you feel good.
