Review of The Fear Of God  

Rated: E | (5.0)
Quite often I fear many avenues to hell when it comes to my faith. I think my faith is strong yet I know I can falter at any time. This poem has such substance, good lines and nice rhyme and reason. I like it very much. Spending time to read the Spiritual Newsletter which I read through and came upon this poem this week a true find for me. Can I hope you are awaiting heaven and essentially taking time to receive gifts from the Holy Spirit to make your passage real? Thanks for the read. Write on. You are gifted.

Review of Jane Austen 2025 Image  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Fancy, lacey, mesmerizing! Nice. This image has historical worth. One of the lovely images for a great and grand era of authors such as Jane. As an Austen fan I see the "lamp of light" in this particular image. As in reading Chopin or any other well recognized author, Jane appears in a great way.

Review of Pegasus’ Ordeal  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
I think about this and wonder why i get writer's block at times. With your "Pegasus" it moves and gives us a nice focus at something . . . something upwind and cute, as well. I like the piece. Voracious readers from WDC might want to consider pieces like this as stepping stones to what is the hardest part of writing: a block or a period of time which is sad for a writer at times because nothing quite gels yet. Thank you. Good work with icons. Happy Valentine's Day!

Review of Gone fishing  

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
"Gone fishing" 


I am reviewing this piece for Good Deeds get CASH.

This is a very steady, very aware, very meaningful to its sources piece. I might find it something easy to read on the eye like maybe Flash Fiction. Without a word count I am not sure how many words there were here. I liked it. It was not too much of a job to finish it off and then take it all in a couple of times to make sure I got the full treatment of it.
Fishing can be a reality check, I guess. As you have displayed in your words. Imagery? Very nice. I would have liked to have seen a comma followed by a quotation mark with a speaking verb following even if it came up once, but it didn't. Just a preference I have. You used a quote with a period and then quotation mark followed with walking away from that period without a verb. Good job. You might have done this on purpose with exclamation and question marks, I guess.

All in all, nice piece!
Write on!

Review of Remembering Mama  

Rated: E | (5.0)
Review of "Remembering Mama" 

Wonderful piece of work with feeling, good syntax, good meaningfulness, good sense of direction. I can identify with this
poem for two reasons in my own reality. First, my mother died and I feel the composite of love for "Mama" here. Second of all, I'm getting cataract surgery next month. This is close to home for me. I see the reality of "nurse" in it. I see the very relevant footnote used.

Excellent free verse. My favorite kind of verse. Feminine and yet family-oriented. This poem doesn't let me go until the very end of it. Natural, kind, memorable.

Thanks for letting me on WDC to read it,

write on.

Review of Pilate's Lament  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I am reviewing this morning and hope you are well. Thank you for the good sense and knowledge this piece encompasses. It is sad when Easter feelings are mixed with a death in the family and this has happened to me recently. I am hoping to read more spiritual poetry in Newsletters on WDC and this poem is just the heavenly ticket. If it wasn't featured it should be. I have read you in the past and I am sure you are one of my favorites. Let me say it comes from such a well-organized and delightful portfolio and that God's children have a place in life and this is what is so good to write about. The lines and font are with no improvement to my mind. It's what I have said many times. Praise to God. Thank you, Lord.
Knowing Him, is a wonderful subject.

Write on!

Review of Down at the Creek Bank  

In affiliation with RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
I am reviewing for "Read and Review" this evening. Good evening! Nice to see you in the line-up. I gather that you have used a bit of history-searching for this piece. I have always liked your stuff. This is again painting a picture of Civil War antics and has a good opinion of bias at the end of the poem to which perhaps we, as a nation, have evolved from the past to the present. There is a good lie on lines from beginning to end and you usually make a good search for irony and excellent material in your poems, Harry. I like your spunk. I like your knowledgeable canvas. Thanks for letting me enjoy this. Write on!

Review of An Artist's Peek  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
I am reading and reviewing for "Read and Review" tonight. Thank you for allowing me the pleasure. I have read and re-read your poem "An Artist's Peek" and found it to be lovely. All that is in Nature can be astounding for us to write about. You have captured the moment! I especially liked the third rhyming stanza. All the images in the poem are strong. I love Nature, too. It amazed me. This poem, too, is a thoughtful one. A reflective journey that we can take for a moment and enter into it. So. Keep writing like this. You have no problems.

Review of Back To The Past Jane Austen ThirtySeven  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)
I am writing a "Read And Review" review this evening. Hello, Megan Rose. I just love Jane Austen and your writings about her in the contemporary vein. I was especially enthused about your dialogue with this particular part of your Jane Austen tribute. Good management of character and sweet lines of love toward those in the piece that matter to you. Quite often, we authors are taken too much by ourselves and what we are about and forget the great vast world of characters which give us joy while reading them. I think your affections for Jane Austen are very real and valid. Make sure you keep your spelling correct and do not give up. Your imagination is fascinating.

Review of Death Bed Promise  

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
I'm sending this "read and review" review in February this evening, in the month of lovers. I think it is an appropriate time for me to have read this simply because "love conquers all" --even death. What we have here is quite a humorous addition to your portfolio. It rhymes well and has the spark of a "cool limerick". I like the experienced she-witness to a death of her spouse as it unfolds to give us risqué lines. Perhaps, she is a she-devil by the phrase "wicked grin", perhaps, not. At any rate, I have this picked out as a much-above item to admire as a holiday short.

Thanks for being on WDC. Keep writing!

Review of The Poetry of Christmas  

Rated: E | (5.0)
I have enjoyed your rhyming poem here very much. Your colorful imagery and magical quality that captures the joy of Christmas is apparent here and the poem is nicely detailed with lines that I can identify with and therefore I find them memorable. I like the line, "The first snowflakes when they fall"--we might have a white Christmas here in town--and I anticipate the fun of having snow. I know how children make the season so much fun and my relatives are too enjoying it and keeping beat to the "goodwill" that this season knows. That crux of a line--"evil to defeat"--is unmistakably one that gives me a chance to think on what Christ's passion is all about. Keep Christ in Christmas! Thank you for a very nice poem.

Write on! Nice to see you here on WDC.

Review of "Little Valley Town, Christmas"  

Rated: E | (4.5)
Such a nice, pleasant tribute to the King of Kings. I enjoyed this poem. I believe in Christ Jesus and the Blessed Season of Christmas that we celebrate in his name. You have used a sense of joy here that looks like it comes easy for you and yes, giving thanks, is the reason for the season. We enjoyed a bit of a "white Christmas" and may see snow on Christmas day. Like that part in your poem. To make it personal and place it in a small town as a metaphorical composite of loving Christmas for what it is, is very legit and nice to read.

Keep writing! Thank you for being here at WDC.

Review of Back To The Past Jane Austen Seventy One  

In affiliation with Jane Austen Group  
Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)
Absolutely exciting stuffy. Love the mirrored images to your personage and the neat dialogue. I love to follow Jane Austen, now, that you introduced me to her. I was a starved reader in high school and I have to admit it! Please take my apology that I don't do more for our members in the Jane Austen Group. It's so nice in there. Will we live in another time now that Megan Rose gives us that chance? I think SO.
Best wishes,

Absolutely enchanting. Thank you, tiggerMail Icon, for giving us another chapter of enjoying info on the great Jane Austen. Arsenic as a death potion? Quite interesting. More than that, the details here are considerably good facts to know and think on. So goes another Newsletter in history on WDC.

Commendable material. I want Jane at my table! Bless those children that have started to read her at a young age. It can only be essentially a must for good grades and a wonderful walk through history.

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Thank you for a wonderful December newsletter, Megan Rose. I love the fact that this is a subject that I don't know enough about and get to become informed with lots of info concerning Jane Austen. I would love to see the new movie that is coming out that you mentioned. I loved your details concerning Jane and the special way you treat her in your email speeches. Thank you so much for something that has truly come true for me--a well-informed friend on WDC who knows quite a lot about Jane Austen!

Review of My World Of Hopes, Dreams, Fantasies

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)


I am reviewing this blog for Showering Acts Of Joy. I am only one reviewer and do not reflect a group of reviewers in this review.


** Image ID #rainbowL Unavailable ** I just love your blog. I spent a bit of time with it and see that you are being appropriate with Halloween but as well your feelings for music, and art have been entered in nice, clear entries. I emphasize this. You appear to always consistent and candid with great answers to what you want to blog about. I feel this particular entry with its numbered choices is almost a cool poem. I liked the thoughtfulness of how it was thought-out. You engaged a WDC audience with it easily. Things will always happen with you in your house with a great destiny. Hope you admit to your talent. It is rare and beautiful.

Review of Easter, Bunnies Newsletter 2015  

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)
Great Newsletter. I enjoyed the information on Easter especially concerning the Easter Bunny and also the meaning behind church proceedings that you offered. I love all your newsletters and just as a matter of format I would like to comment that I see a kind of style in the writing of all of the newsletters that are informative and catchy, it springs from a personal view that gives us a nice story-type attitude. I find the newsletters encouraging for those who want to Know Facts about different subjects and have no knowledge. Thanks.

If I had a bookstore...maybe when Wynwidyn Press gets a bit bigger! :)
#1930913 by fyndorianMail Icon
this morning. My review does not reflect any one group but is a product of my own reviewing and should be known as such.


Fyn here has given us a wonderful display of words for a bookstore. This is what she is proposing for us. What would it be like? The magical nooks and crannies of a place that we all on WDC might somehow love to own. Platonically, these words are worth a million. An excellent poem. There are wonderful things that Fyn does on WDC. Her writing is highly attractive, first-callibre. This poem is delightful, fulfilling, a place in time on shelves where books ultimately find a resting place. I admired it. Loved reading it. Discover Fyn!
