Review of Wearing Hats  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Wearing Hats resonates with me. I love hats and they replace, to me, the love of shoes. I own maybe 3 pairs. Hats, I have loss count.

Your poem has all of the attributes about hats. It has the flash, the tasteful, pizzazz! All the things that would describe the charm of hat wearers. It has statement, and your phrase of "Display the social attractiveness, visability, and trueness..." ways it all.

Great prose poem,

Seabreeze

Yes, memory can be used a lot to get better control on our language. This example is similar to how I have remembered which one means excessive. I told myself that the too word is excessive because it has two "o"s.

And then there is, I before e except after c, which doesn't seem to get utilized enough in spelling words.

These snippets are very handy and could be used with flash cards to help children learn.

Thanks,
Seabreeze

Wonderful story of a family member and the proper gain of confidence. I have a granddaughter who lacks some confidence in herself but is improving. Thanks for sharing a great story experience.

Review of This Time  Open in new Window.

I like this flash fiction. Great story. I, like most, thought that this is probably a very young, scared person. In fact, reminded me of myself years back when I was shy.

You kept me in suspense, wondering what the character would do.

Cool surprise ending. And maybe it could be true for someone.

Review of Willy's Accident  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Truly a fascinating story. I am a believer but I must say I have never meant anyone who is or claims to be a person who has such abilities to truly feel other people's feelings or thoughts. But God is always surprising me, so many this is one of those surprises. My son and an experience once that has never reoccurred again. So not sure what to call it. He had a female friend, my high school, who it kept in touch mostly by email, phone calls. He ran into her again and he told her that he had a strong feeling that she needed to check in with a doctor. He kept insisting that she should do this and he could not tell her why but that he wish she would. She did go to a doctor and come to find out she had a tumor, located of all places in the nasal area. I forget any other details but just that story.

We know God works in mysterious ways, not really, but His ways. I do believe he uses people, causes them to interact for the better of His outcomes. We are here on his earth for his pleasure and this, I believe, is part of his greater plan.

So I don't forget, I ran into not sure if they were typos (nothing major), and in one area a sentence, a comment something to the effect...."My name was Ken." Could you explain that?

Thanks for sharing and I will followup on the rest of your postings.

Enjoyed reading your Dear Me, 2025. I wrote one as well. I believe it does help us to stay focused, to inspire us to get it done! I had to stop by to see what others write to themselves. We can do it! It is a good letter and I have faith you will finish a novel this year! Keep up the good work.

Nice pic. I see that it is clip art. Did you create it? I do watercolors so any type of art is of interest to me.

Nice poem but I am truly sorry if it is how you feel. I believe writing about how we feel is very therapeutic. You have a flare for words. I hope to see more poetry from you.

So well again, keep up your writing,

Great narrative. I like how you keep it moving. There is lots of suspense in it. Kind of how some of us do with ourselves during the day. I liked it. Maybe it could work into intro to a short story. Any case, welcome newbie. Great job.

This is a great site. I love the concept of paying forward. So, how does one do so here? Is it gps that you are looking for or do you also track those in need of having a membership stay active? I would be willing to contribute to help with a membership cost.

Very nice poem with a wonderful rhythm. I think of the excitement viewers project when watching their favorite sport. Emotions get high, and then when not winning - let downs! And even headaches from yelling or maybe an injury to a player. Your poem identifies a lot.

Review of Commuting  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi newbie, welcome. Interesting short story. It tells of how everyday life can be so mundane. I was waiting to see if something special was going to happen? But, that probably would be to much to expect in a vignette. I have never written one so I am at a loss.

I question the single sentence (paragraph in its self?) shadows in the early morning light. Is it a complete sentence...not sure?

I wish you the best in your writing.

First, let me say hi newbie. I am sure you will enjoy your stay here and there is so much to learn.

This is a beautful poem. It has a special rhythm of its own. It flows well and it says so much about the beauty we all have available to us in nature and in people. Excellent descriptions of love, fascination, admiration for beauty and for life. Great writing,

Seabreeze

OMG, I have run into more than I know what to do with. Then again, I am not train in this area but I can appreciate what goes into programming or coding, which this appears to be that on a smaller level. I marvel at what we humans can keep in our heads, utilize and create such beautiful and functional items. I have made Web pages using Blogspot.com. I felt good just being able to figure some of its designing attributes.

You have created and provided such a service here with your page design portfolia creations. I hope you get the attention and people utilize what you have made available to them that you deserve.

Blessings,

Thank you for the information you have shared. I often wondered what the passkey was all about. Also, get a little information, as here, on a major topic is easier to remember. I appreciate these snippets! Also, important information for those who are seriously considering a novel or other published works. Thanks again,

Review of Dear Me 2025  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
You were so kind to review one of my writings (Teddy), so I thought I would return the favor.

I must admit, I love your humor that you have intertwined in your letter. The dialogue with yourself is very entertaining. I have to side with your other self; too much on your plate! However, I do not know you, your age, your energy but it seems like a lot. And to add, you were telling me that you needed something to do that would utilize your hands. Wow!

You should win this contest. I entered but I would be surprised if I win as mine is probably too serious. But it is meant to be. So far I am on track with my goals but I am 79 years old, have a husband, dog, play cards twice and week, sing at karaoke to mention a few. I paint, play a musical keyboard and love music. I sure wish I had your energy.

You know, I do believe you will meet those goals. I say that because I have broused your portfolio and seen how much you have already accomplished since joining in July 2023. So, I wish you the best in your goals and in this contest entry.

Well that is quite some story. Just writing it and keeping the characters straight had to be hard. In fact, you need to check your quotes; many are missing. Your story flows well; it has a particular flare. It has intrigued me and I might read more if available. Do you plan on carrying it out?

Best wishes to you in your writing,

This is unique and very informative. Great idea. I like that these suggestions are all in one spot. And, it is interesting to see the different perspectives as well. I am very inexperienced in story writing but when I read, I want a good plot, something I can hang on to with the characters.

Thanks,

Lovely poem and a nice tribute to your family. You are one lucky lady. Your poem tells a story of tender love, of caring and understand of each other. Sometimes a poem reminds us how fortunate we our in our lives. Great poem.

Seabreeze

p.s. Reading over your profile, I suggest you write another poem about a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a writer, a friend. You have it all my friend!

I love your infinite blue! I guess mostly because of the color. Your poem made me think of climbing a ladder as we do in life, trying to get ahead, striving, building up ourselves. I have one called My Color Blue under poems. Give it a look if you have time.

I will confess, I had to search to see what was meant by ascent long and treacherous. So, I learn something new. Thanks,
