ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling, grammar, or other errors were spotted, and there are no suggestions to offer for improvement.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: The Cameo is well written in my opinion. The image before the poem is an additional plus. The imagery used in describing Winter's sleep is outstanding. You are right about the season being cold and dark, and I cannot say it is my favorite season. However, the promise written about almost made me forget how much I dislike the ice and snow that comes with Winter.
JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO AND SIMPLY POSITIVE FOUNDER

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were noticed, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the item.
CHARACTERS AND SETTING/S: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: The image that comes before the poem made my mouth water. Yummy! The form used in writing the poem is excellent, and the imagery fattening, yet just as good. This kind of indulgence is best left at a dream for health reasons, yet too tasty for most to give up.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Only one mistake was spotted, and that is "my self" should be "myself" instead. Other than that, there are no suggestions for improving the poem.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The form is used perfectly, and the imagery is excellent. It was easy envisioning the transformation of seasons. I enjoyed the entire poem, but my personal favorites are the lines about the night bowing to morning and the entire verse about Autumn's sky.
Please keep in mind that the suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: "to bad" should be too bad instead. Other than that, I cannot think of anything that would improve the entry.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The rhythm is great, and the imagery good, yet terribly sad. My heart bled for these children. To think a school meal might be the only one they get due to their parents drinking is heartbreaking, and more so the part about Sue and how her sibling stole to try saving her. I could almost hear the children praying for a better life. The last line said it all. Christmas is a time for for sharing and caring.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical, spelling, or other mistakes were spotted, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the tale.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The spirit is described perfectly, and the storyline unique and well written.
OVERALL OPINION: You did a superb job of defining the spirit and its emotions. I liked the paragraphs about who the spirit is and the future, living inside the children, and the last six the best. I could almost feel what the spirit did because the imagery is so good.
Hello ChrisDaltro-Chasing Moonbeams This is the first of two reviews gifted to you by sweet Summer Wind is Healing who asked for this message to be sent as well: "This for you Christina, saying thank you for your wonderful help. Summer."
Please keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Just a humble opinion, but I think too many semi-colons are used. A comma should follow "not only remembered". A comma should also come after "impenetrable". I also think "She" is used too frequently in some of the paragraphs. An example of this is the sentence beginning with "She was paralyzed and she felt...". I would delete "she felt" after placing a comma after "paralyzed" to only "felt". A comma should follow "seven-year-old". Others like these noticed throughout the story as well.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Angela, her assailant, and the angel were defined well, and the storyline moved good.
OVERALL OPINION: The characters and settings are described well. What I thought was going to be more of a horror tale than supernatural certainly fooled me. The attack on Angela was horrifying, yet the end of the tale uplifting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story, and wish you the best.
Hello Write-fully Loti This review is being made on behalf of the Simply Positive Group.
ERRORS: Commas should replace the periods following "Tony" and "Hank", and "And" not capitalized.
SUGGESTIONS: There are none to offer other than the one mentioned above.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: I was impressed with the imagery used in describing Ted and the others in such a short story. I was expecting the tale to be one of horror when I noted that it was a ghost story. However, I was surprised. The story is well written and excellent in this readers opinion.

MY OPINION: The form is used superbly, and the rhythm and imagery just as good. I certainly wouldn't want to encounter this dark woman. I pitied the man in despair, and was glued to the poem from beginning to end.

Hello Winnie Kay Congratulations on your blue briefcase!
Keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling, grammatical, or other mistakes were noticed, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the poem. However, having the pleasure of visiting your portfolio before, this came as no surprise to me.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The rhyming pattern is superb, and the imagery just as good. I could almost see Jesus preventing damnation, and hear the sound of trumpets. The poem is well written with a great message.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No comma is needed after "her dream". A comma should follow "Now" in paragraph two. No comma is needed after "very strange". "turned on to " should be "turned onto" instead, and a comma follow "the freeway". A comma should come after "remained silent". "and" is used too frequently in my opinion. Just a humble suggestion, but I would consider cutting it in some of the sentences. For example, in stead of "Mary remained silent and...", perhaps something like Mary remained silent, in awe of the perplexing situation.??? Instead of "Her eyes saw...", I think it would read better if worded like this: "She saw". Quotation marks should follow "I knew it". "creme" should be "cream". "its fly" should be "it's fly" instead.
CHARACTERS & PLOT: Mark and Mary are described well, and the storyline good.
OVERALL OPINION: The story is humorous. Poor Mark was like a fly haven. He should have read the label before greasing his hair. If I had been Mary, I would have left the car until it was figured out why the insects were swarming and would not go away.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were spotted, and there are no suggestions I feel would improve the poem.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: I found it uplifting that you want to write and speak the language taught to you by your mother. The poem relays pride in your heritage. I liked that. The imagery is great as the emotions are expressed in the item.
ERRORS: The rhythm is off in some of the lines, but I did not feel that it took away from the poem.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would improve the item.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The rhyming pattern is good overall, and the points made valid and well written. Middle age is now considered much longer than it used to be, and you are right. It is a shame. The age of retirement has one working far longer than necessary, giving individuals less time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. You did a marvelous job of relaying these things and more in the poem.
Please remember that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: The rhyming pattern is off in a couple of the lines, yet did not take away from the poem in my opinion. Other than that, there are no suggestions for improvement.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The rhythm is good overall, and the imagery just as good. It was easy picturing the bright eyes and sweet smile of the child. You did a perfect job of relaying the joy that children bring us with the small and adorable things they do. I liked that. You could not have said it better when saying what a blessing they are.

CHARACTERS AND PLOT:N/A
MY THOUGHTS: The rhythm is outstanding, and the imagery excellent as well. What I thought was going to be a spicy poem of another kind sure turned out fooling me. I laughed until tears came to my eyes when reading the last two lines. You did a sensational job of using the prompt and proving again what a versatile writer you are.
Keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were noticed, and there are no suggestions for improvement.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The rhythm is perfect, and the imagery just as good. I could almost hear the voices that called out to the tormented individual. It seemed like the person is on the brink of losing sanity due to fear. The idea of feeling the entrapment he feels is horrifying, and it is just as sad thinking of the suffering felt at seeing the images and hearing the whispers. The poem is well written. I would rate it more than five stars if I could.
Hello Liam This is the final review won by you as part of the package I donated in "PDG & NHWAU Holiday Auction" [E] I hope you have enjoyed it.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were noticed, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the poem.
OVERALL OPINION: Like the one read before it, this poem is well written. The rhythm is good, and the imagery fantastic too. I like the way you put the canines thoughts into things you imagine him saying. What I liked best is, despite everything, the animal knows how much he is loved. I am certain he does feel as if he's your loyal companion. The poem is a wonderful tribute to the dog, and warmed this readers heart.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: The rhythm is super, and the imagery just as good. You did a fantastic job of relaying Rose's good and not so good traits. I loved these lines:
For her eyes sing a song, and her lips warm his soul.
Her embrace makes him strong, in her love he is whole.
The poem expresses the meaning of genuine love. Very well written!

WHAT I THOUGHT: The rhythm is superb, and the imagery just as good. The inquiries made are relayed honestly. I liked that. My personal favorites are the verses about justice and the message not always clear. I think we all have wondered what is expected from us at some point, but that it is something we will never get the answers to. I believe the demands and other things you speak are part of our journey in life. I think the poem is well written and from the heart. I liked that.
Happy Holidays,
Sherri
