Forgive me as I cry a bit before I review this poem..........Hello njames51, I came across this poem in the review list. Your title grabbed me to read it..." What Happens" It is beautifully written, you put death in a new and different way. A loving way in describing what death is.
It was the last verse. What Happens, and then I seen the date you wrote this; January 24th,)2016
I just had a powerful feeling go through my body.
Because it was the same Date I lost my Mother: (January 24th), 2003. I am in awe of how long it's really been since we lost the most important person in our lives. This is a great Honor for all women who's life affected those of others by their love. Thirteen years is a long time now, but I have learned how to live on, and keeping her living on too even if its only in my heart and memories. She is never gone too far away! Thank you for writing such a touching poem. My opinion mostly. I think she wanted me to read this and I'm glad I did. :)
Hello again Whitemorn, I came across this in the review list. I have 1 question! Did you live in the towns around Los Angeles? This hits hard when you understand the reality of urban life as I did. All these sentences within your poem are part of the reason I left Los Angeles when I did. Because of how real your words are in living in urbainea. (A person living in an urban area). No more, will I!
Good Read!
Strong wording here! Almost like a sermon at church. The pastor preaches loud and clear about who we are and who God is and what comes from the heavens above. I really liked the way you worded the voices we hear and how they are our own in life. This comes across very straight forward and meaningful. Well Done.

"Bravo!" Brom21, This is wonderfully written. I like just reading it again and again. I see this tiny Dragon like one in Harry Potter, when they each pulled out a tiny Dragon from a small bag. Very good imagery too. Excellent flow with rhyming words that carry meaning in the Dragons future forever.
"I envy you now.! In a good way."
Good Read!
That was very different and I like different. This over 21 poem was done well. You have a good flow with rhyming words. I like the story it entails about a sexy type of spirited woman who loves attention from the men who know her. And having friendships with those who really listen and comfort her needs.
Good times or Sad times, she could count on these men as her friend.
Good Read! Thanks for sending it out.!
LINK TEXT HERE▼ Hi Cubby, this is a beautiful poem about your grandpa. He sounds like an all around kind of man, friendly and smart, fun to be around.! Both of my Grandpa's passed before I was born. And Grandma on Mothers side didn't speak English. Stubborn little Puerto Rican Grandma. I really miss her.
You did a great job on this poem. It's funny and I really liked the story line. The King is wanting to shut up his Queen, then it backfires and now he has two Queens to deal with. The King was thinking the extra two drops wouldn't hurt, when in fact it doubled. That's why one should always follow directions or suffer the consequences.
Hi,I came upon this cute short word story. I enjoyed the concept of your story, very impressed with your futuristic ideals, but as I have learned here at WDC. Show don't tell. In your beginning of this story, you are telling more than showing, but I enjoyed it. Easy fixes and keeping within the story length.
good Read!
This short flash fiction was done well and has a funny ending. I like that! When you think the man is done giving the information asked of; just keeps going, and going on about the suspect! Most all I could see as far as grammar and punctuation looks good. My opinion only.. :)

Hi, I just finished reading this story. My first impression, now correct me if I'm wrong! This is about a father whom left his family years ago for another man. Then he sees his son near a restaurant with another woman. (Not his wife). So he approaches his son to not make the same type of mistake 'he' made when he left the family. Then the son want's nothing to do with him. So he decides to let go of the past and go forward. ' Am I right so far'? This word contest writing has a good concept and a sad ending, but not life threatening. Your word use of 'salmonella' was funny. Telling me his father has a sense of humor. Good story;
The only thing that I really noticed was that in the first paragraph you said' had' six times and so on throughout the story. It would be easier to read with less 'had' words yet giving the same point your incurring with the story. And 'was'.! Again I felt it used too much as well. I had the same thing happen to me when I write, but I've learned to use those and a few others less rather than more. It sounds good when you are writing, then you see it on a screen and then you'll see.
On the seventh paragraph down you wrote 'you' when it should be 'your'. a@ 'you think you can clear 'your' conscience by apologizing to me,.
Other than that I liked this short story, easy fixes is all you need to polish it up.
Good Read!
What draw me to this is your title. I love earthly stories.
This is futuristic and good possibility's of what could come.
Best part I liked is the ending. Where Grandpa touches the silver knife, embossed with a bee, and it marked him as an Earth Warrior. Good ending to such a short story.

I came upon this tid~bit on a YA Raid. This is nicely written, with feelings from your heart deep inside where the feelings really live. Ah, If only we could have just one more day with our loved ones. Someday! You have a nice flow with this poem and meaningful content.
Good Read!
I enjoyed this short piece. you really put the reader at the sports bar with you, waiting for your friends to watch football. With a twist from out of nowhere, Jerry walks in wearing a sports bra. Funny! And then to find out the others are wearing a sports bra too. I bet they never do that again, as implied by your ending. I felt just a few grammar mistakes, that just need to be fixed to make a better flow to this story. All in all.
Good Read!
This was a very enjoyable poem about someone obsessed over Earl Grey Tea.
Your words jump off the page and into an empty cup, but only for a few moments of Earl Grey Tea. I also liked how crazy this character gets when someone taints it with heaps of sugar ruining the precious flavor of Earl Grey Tea.
Good flow with this one and funny to boot.
Good Read!
Nicely done, good flow the this Tainted Tunes. Funny, as soon as I started reading this, Elton John came on singing Lucy In the Sky! I really like that you added a dog, cat, guinea pig, geese and a bear for your ending.

Good poem, I hope it gives someone hope when life gets like this.
(I think it is now time to Walk away.) Best part, I liked.
No reason for people to live un~happy and without real Trust.

Nicely done! Paramedic, Beautiful words and good flow with rhyming. I like that!
I thought of my husband and I, we're always in each others heads, thinking the same thing at the same time. And laughing, saying,
" Get out of my head. I was just thinking of that.
That's intertwined.

You took the words right out of my mouth when it comes to the way our Bully acts when Daddy gets home.
My Shih~Tzu acted that way for many years. She is 11 now and tired. Your poem brings back those memories of that unconditional kind of love you can only get from your pet. Loved it!
Good Read
