Review of My Sin  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Fascinating poem! And, I learned a new word...schadenfreude and very interesting the etymology of the word.

First, I would like to say...thank you for your service to our beloved country, USA. And, your poem, My Sin....very interesting in how you described it. It gives me food for thought, especially of my own sin. I would have to guess that your military career would have a tremendous impact on your writing, especially your creativity?

I must admit...not sure all of this poem is clear to me. But, then again, it does not need to be. I love that it provokes me to think.

Thanks so much,

Seabreeze

I love your Sense of Belonging! It is coming again...winter..I live where the snow known no pity! But, even at that...the seasons are so reassuring....I know who is in control! The Lord brings them back again and again. I love to hear the leaves rustling....as you say, a song!

Beautifully written, thanks for the journey...to home.

Review of Amnesia?  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: E | (5.0)
Beautiful and sad all rolled into one! It is what so many fear as time keeps approaching. You have written it well -- maybe because of some experience - self or family? I faced cancer with my husband, and to be truthful - if one has to pick, I still would go that route as opposed to losing ones memory.

Thank you for a well written poem,

Seabreeze

Review of Waiting for Love  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: E | (5.0)
Oh my, very beautiful and I wanted to cry. It is hard when we want our feelings appreciated (I know). I love the words and how they pull me in to read more. This is a very pretty story of one waiting and I hope the love is returned soon.

Interesting piece. I do believe the lower animals have feelings and show emotions though they may not be as we show ours. Look at dogs, elephants, primates. Your analysis has pointed out the relationships of such emotions. There is one question: Your last sentence - not real clear to me.

(People are running after materialistic things and their aims have also been changed to get worldly things)

What would be an example of worldly things verses materialistic things? Power? Maybe this is it.

Good writing,
Seabreeze

OMG this is so cute and so complete in your description of the story. I love it!!

In fact, if I didn't know it was about shoes, it would have been even more fun. But, I am the one you sent over because you did a review on my poem That Is What I Am (about a shoe).

Enter this in a contest.......I am sure it will win.

Best wishes,

Review of Love is...  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: E | (4.5)
First, let me welcome you, newbie. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Your story of love is, is very touching as it does describe what we all want in true love. I would like some dialogue in there, but that is just me. Reading your story, it was almost to "rant". Maybe a little break in the tone, more of what your new love is and then go back to true love.
Contrast is the word I am looking for.

You have great ability is selecting words to identify your thoughts, so continue on with your writing.

I like your story because it grabed me and kept my interest (which is saying a lot as iam not that much of a fan of fiction). Your opening was super and pulled me along.

What it did, the story, was have me reflect on things. I thought of the old TV show Twilight Zone and the pig people. Not knowing your age, if you are not sure of it, you can find a clip in You Tube.

Your story is unique..do we elop it into chapters...

Thanks for the fun,

Review of Stalk Home  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Hi Abaru,

Bubblegum Jones asked me if I would give Stalk Home a review and I decided I would. Let me say up front, I am not a big fiction fan, I write poetry and love stories about real people, so I will do my best. Here we go.

I feel you have a good story but my interest would not normally attract me to this type of story. There is a lot of narrative of "much to do about nothing", just not interesting to me. You describe the area well and set the stage. Your punctuation is good and grammatically, I could not find any faults.

Toward the end of the story, it got a little confusion to me...but maybe cause I lost interest. You may want to check the last paragraph for clarity.

Please take my review with a grain of salt as I mentioned, this story is not my cup of tea.

I wish you the best in your writings,

Seabreeze

Review of Phantoms

Hi Dave,

Very nice this post. I especially like what has been done with the photo and you have tied it all together well. Excellent format, phantoms - excellent title for this poem. I believe most of us can relate to hazy recollection, reflection of times past!

I enjoyed the read,

My first thoughts were...of course...she needs to get moving. After reading the whole story, I am, as many taken back! A great moral that says, "...spend more time with those you love and less complaining"!

It well written piece....

Once upon a time there was a snake called Charley. Everyday, it seemed without a doubt, Charley would wonder about his pad, which was on the East side of Brookdale, in the upper side of Snake Valley. One day, many moons ago, Charley could not find his pet Cricket. Because of this, Charley put an ad in the paper "Lost, my friend Cricket" Please see Charley at Charley's pad in upper side of Snake Valley. Charley got lots of contacts and was about to go pickup Cricket, when Cricket showed up on his own. What a relief, now Charley would not have to pay anyone a reward. Not nice of Charley. Until finally, Cricket asked for the reward because he turned himself in.

Star Cross Lovers is a poem of romance that pulls you in; you want to know what happens to this woman. The story is beautifully set again a star lite night; with lovely rhymes well placed. One reads this poem, gets all the beauty of poetic rhyme and a story of complete enticement. Maybe, also one can "live in the moment" of the romance and excitement!

I love it and no more can be said!

Hi Leger!

Such a cute story with a lot of mystery going on. When I was trying to visualize the little guy coming in to the bar, a saw him doing a little jig in my mind. I am Irish and well that is where my mind went.

Not sure about all of the language ( I assume made up?)....but sure is cute for the story.

I thank you could have a sequel, maybe with a bit more magic!

Best to you,

Seabreeze

Review of BLUE PORK CHOPS  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Cute story! I must know where did the phrase: ‘hair-o’-the-dog’ come from. I am in my 70s and it is a new one for me! I loved the way you described the lake and your being transposed into a Degas masterpiece in the Louvre. It immediately made me want to go to an art museum, say the Getty in Los Angeles or the Norton Simon.

Thanks,
Seabreeze

Review of Little Dreamer  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: E | (4.5)
Very nice! I like it and it tells a story from the heart. I have a question regarding
the ending where you say, "I pray you will be known to life." If already born, not sure
what that means? I do not mean to be disrespectful but when I read it, it sounded as if
the baby had not been born.

Thank you and hope to see more of your writings!

Review of Tell Not A Soul.  
Review by Seabreeze
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi Sunnie,

This poem so resonates with me now, in my life's current situation. I am in my 70's, widowed 9 years this September and I wish I could tell some people some things!

I have some friends, one close person but if I talk to her about some of my real feelings I will offend her.

I do have my own living quarters, below my son, but I still feel lonely. My health is okay except for my IBS which can alter my day's activities...but I can tell here!

I write poetry but sometimes the feeling isn't there. I so appreciate rh8s site and the people to pull me out if my slump.

So I tip my hat to you and your wonderful poem. And thank you for all your writing that help us all when we fall down.
