Review of Unknown  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Hello newlywed12514 and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here. I have just read your item, " Unknown," and thought I would leave some comments.

I see you are still working on this so I shall not say too much. However, I did not understand the beggining. You have a list of songs and then start a paragraph.

Suggestions: I would set the item to private while you are working on it. When you are ready for reviews you can then change it.

Review of Seaside  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hello Mac and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your item, "Seaside," and thought I would leave some comments.

A sad but lovely account of a memorial service. I could almost here the singing.

Suggestions: I am not sure I like all the clanking going on. Heels clip rather clank. Also the sound of a church bell is a ring not a clank. I think I would associate clanking with pots and pans.

I wonder if perhaps you could elaborate on the story a little? It is a seaside setting an yet no mention of the surroundings and who is Emily?

Hope this helps a little.

Thank you for sharing.

Review of The Darkness  
Review by Sanita
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hello JTown and a belated welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your story, "The Darkness," and thought I would leave some comments.

I must say you had me completely engrossed in this, from start to finish. I am not usually attracted to horror but something told me to read this, I am glad I did.

I loved the way you began the story, that alone made me want to carry on. I also like the fact you ended with the same paragraph, it left a great feeling of mystery.

A great read, thank you for sharing.

Review of She Who is Lost  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hello Bunny and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here. I have just read your poem, "She Who Is Lost," and thought I would leave some comments.

An expression of feelings when someone we were close to or loved has left this world.

I think writing these things down in poetry or even in a diary can help with the grief.

These lines leave a lovely image: "A ray of light falls on her grave.

A lone flower is blooming. Her

last gift to me. "

Suggestions: For me, when I read a poem I pause after each line, so the starting of a new sentence in one line or ending a sentence half way through the next line never seems to read correctly.

For example this verse: "Fate, why are you so cruel?

To take away the one who I

loved the most. Separating us

on the two planes of existence."

The lines do not flow: I think for poetry to flow the sentence should either take up two whole lines or just one.

Also the word : "leafs" should be ,"Leaves."

A nice poem expressing your feelings.

Review of Rat In My Brain

Hello mfsalminen and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here. I have just read your monologue, "Rat In My Brain," and thought I would leave some comments.

I found this very interesting and of course you are right, no one can understand unless they have been or are a sufferer themselves. I think this true of many mental health issues.

A very well written piece.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Aleesha, how are you? I have just read your poem, " My Dog," and thought I would leave some comments.

Wow this is a good for a poem written at the age of seven! And of course winning a contest.

I like poems about pets Partly because they are truth and partly because they can be fun too.

Well done.

Hello victor, how are you? I have just read your item,"Prologue To My New Book," and thought I would leave some comments.

This sounds very interesting. The afterlife is something that has always fascinated me.

It reads like the narrator has passed to the other side, very intriguing.

I look forward to reading your first chapters.

Hello jimminy, how are you? I have just read your poem, "Last Grasp," and thought I would leave some comments.

I like short poems. I think a lot can be said in just a few words and yours certainly says a lot. I understand the selfishness, but also understand that no one else but Mother Earth could be told.

Best wishes.

Hello WriteToExpress and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem. "Memory Memorial," and thought I would leave some comments.

What a sad little poem, short, but says so much. I think we often leave our memories tucked safely away.

My favourite line: "For I deserve not to hold such tender hands again
Until my feet feel the chill of solid ground. " I would have written till rather than until, but that that is just my preference.

Best wishes.

Hello cookiebaby and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your short story, "my siamese cat cookie," and thought I would leave some comments.

What a great name for a cat. I have a cat myself, although she is not siamese, but just as mischievous.

Nice little story about your cat. However, it does need a lot of editing. Capital letters at the start of a sentence and some need breaking up with a comma so they make sense.

For example this sentence: "It was as if she didn't want to be alone she started to become very obsessive of me I couldn't leave and if I did I could her screaming as I would walk down the hallway of my apartment building." would read better something like this: " It was as though she did not want to be alone. She became very obsessive and I could not leave, if I did, I would hear her screaming as I walked out of the building."

Hope this helps.

Review of Lost

Hello truelyjenna and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem,"Lost," and thought I would leave some comments.

It is always sad when we think we have found ," the one," and then somehow drift apart.

This verse made me think of the saying, "There are plenty more fish in the sea," I look at you
you look at me
two fish
lost at sea.

And there are!

Nice little poem.

Hello abahar, how are you? I have just read your poem, "The Powerless Will Rise," and thought I would leave some comments.

I believe we all have power, it is we do not realise. I understand what you are saying thought.

I am not sure of your meaning with the use of the word inflection.The word has four meanings and I am not sure how you meant it. Perhaps I am missing something.

1. a change in the form of a word to indicate a change in its grammatical function.
2. the patterns of stress and intonation in a language.
3. deviation from a straight or normal course.
4. a manner of speaking in which the loudness or pitch or tone of the voice is modified.

Anyway, good poem.

Hello Ruchu and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, "Accident Of A Hostel Freind," and thought I would leave some comments.

Sometimes things happen that we do not see as a blessing at first till something else happens and then we realise. It looks like this is what you are trying to explain to your friend in your poem?

Suggestions: I would take out the text slang, such as u, b, and wid and replace with proper words, you will find the poem will read much better.

Best wishes.

Hello Aleesha and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem,"Listen To The Beat," and thought I would leave some comments.

It is nice to have Artists that inspire us, although the singers you refer to in your poem I am not really a fan of. But we all have our own tastes, it would not do for us all to like the same things.

I like they way you have used their names and songs to fit the poem.

Suggestions: This line, "Katy pery ," should be , "Katy Perry," and this line, "Eminems back," should be,"Eminem's back."

Thank you for sharing.

Best wishes.

Review of The Bride  
Review by Sanita
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
Hello Abby and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your story, "The Bride," and thought I would leave some comments.

First of all I notice it is 55 words. There is a 55 word story contest, I cannot remember the ID number but I am sure you will find it on the contest page.

A bit of a twist to this wedding and I wonder why the Groom shot his wife to be.

In this line: "All was silent and the smiling bride looked at her new husband...." he would not have been her new husband as the preacher had only just asked if anyone objected.

Perhaps you could change it to something like: "All was silent , the smiling bride looked at her husband. to be..."

Hope this helps.

Review of important  
Review by Sanita
Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
Hello bob123412 and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your piece, "Important," and thought I would leave some comments.

This sound like the beginning of an interesting story. I think Asylums always make a good read.

However, it needs a lot of editing.

For example this part: "The hospital yard stood a small lodge surrounded by a perfect forest of nettles. Its roof was rusty and the chimney left many to feel like the hospital would tumble down without warning just like an avalanche. The steps at the front-door were rotting away and were overgrown with grass and traces of stucco. The hospital was enclosed by a grey fence with nails on it. These nails had a peculiar, desolated look to it which was only found in prisons."


You may have meant, "In the Hospital yard stood a small lodge."

Also," Its roof," should read, "It's roof."

This sentence; " Its roof was rusty and the chimney left many to feel like the hospital would tumble down without warning just like an avalanche," is too long and would be better as a description of the chimney rather than how it made people feel.

For example: " A rusty roof and a chimney that looked like it would collapse at any moment."

Hope this helps a little.

Hello Release and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, "Pain" and thought I would leave some comments.

You poem tells of a loss of someone much loved and the poet finds it hard to live without them.

It is never easy and we question why.

A lovely poem and I have no suggestions.

Hello Tabitha, thank you for your entry in the "Invalid Item .

I thought this an excellent 100 word story with a twist. I loved the last line:

"No." Melanie muttered, reaching into her pocket. "But the chocolate flavored after-mints could."

It was sort of funny and shocking at the same time.

Great little story.

Best wishes and good luck.

Review of Summer Fruit  
Review by Sanita
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Hello Shepard, thank you for your entry in the "Invalid Item .

I really enjoyed this poem, I loved the way you took the Summer fruits and used them to warm up in Winter.

My favourite verse:

"So let the frosty wind be foul
all wrapped up in your cozy cowl.
Warmed inside not by your vest,
but by the fruit of summers best."

You did a really good job with the prompt and I have no suggestions.

Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
