OVERALL OPINION: Like the one read before it, the imagery in this poem is just as great. A poetic masterpiece was painted of Sophia and her surroundings. I could picture her playing the games in the tournament, and almost feel her pride when being crowned with the tiara and receiving the trophy. It has been a pleasure visiting your portfolio again.
SUGGESTIONS: I cannot think of anything that would improve the poem.
MY THOUGHTS: The imagery is excellent! I could almost see the heavy winds coming and hear the thunder. The events leading up to the monsoon are described superbly, letting others who have never seen a monsoon realizing how frightening and damaging they are. I was very impressed by how you managed to make the last verse so inspirational despite the tragedy.

{er:bird} OVERALL OPINION: You did a super job of letting readers know about you. I liked that. Some of my personal favorites are the sentences about family, friends, you finding the light despite the dark clouds, and where the poem came from. My heart ached when reading about the closet, death, and cancer. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with the community.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: "Its a stroller" should be "It's a stroller" instead, and "its what they" should be "it's what they". "It's empty" should be "It's empty". Without needs no capitalization following the comma after "will regrow". Other than that, there are no suggestions for improvement.

OVERALL OPINION: The imagery is fantastic. It was easy picturing everything that was abandoned. You did a magnificent job of describing the settings, although as mentioned above, it is very sad. I liked the way you pointed out the things people are doing to slowly, but surely, strip the world of its beauty.

One would certainly need the hot drink and quilt in this kind of weather. WRITE ON!

WHAT I THOUGHT: The rhythm is great, and the imagery just as fantastic. I was pleased that the stray was accepted. He may have been another "mouth to feed", yet deserved love and compassion like any other living creature. My favorite part of the item is how the daughter bonded with the dog and how the animal became an asset to the entire family for all he did. EXCELLENT JOB!

OVERALL OPINION: Marya, Ileina, and the other characters are defined superbly, and so are the settings. I especially liked the story Ileina's grandmother told her about what the Indians said about the dance and spirit of the stag, along with how the grandparent had belonged to a tribe. I loved how the story ended with Poor Poet returning.

MY THOUGHTS: You did a magnificent job of using the prompt. The rhythm is outstanding, and the emotions expressed both sad and inspiring. I agree that heartaches can bring one down, but like you, believe broken hearts can be mended. I believe we all need a bit of "dusting off" now and then.
Hello Ironworker Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only an opinion and meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS: A comma should follow "open field" and the one after "the air" deleted. A comma should replace the period that follows "you gotta do". A comma should come after "beautiful". Several others like these noticed throughout the short story also.
SUGGESTIONS: Just a humble suggestion, But I think that There was calmness in his voice would be better than "There was a calm in his voice". That just did not read right to me.
WHAT I LIKED: The imagery used in describing the settings is outstanding. It was easy envisioning the open fire, bright star in the evening sky, and other places. The characters are defined just as good, and the plot terrific. The camaraderie the men share is relayed clearly. I revere Native American culture, and enjoyed the fact that these men were Indian born and felt similarly. Terrific story!
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: Not a mistake was spotted, and I cannot think of anything I feel would improve the entry.
OVERALL OPINION: You did a fantastic job of using the prompt for this week. You relayed with clarity the reasons why the tears are shed. He is forgiving of all things, yet so many take Him and His gifts for granted. Very well written!

WHAT I LIKED: I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous editorial. You did a hilarious job of letting readers know your viewpoints on men and women relieving themselves. I had to ask myself what brought this topic to mind though. My personal favorites were the "God forbid" and "Coke Bottle" paragraphs.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were spotted, and I cannot think of a thing that would improve the item.
OVERALL OPINION: The imagery is excellent, especially with such a limited word count. I found that impressive. I felt sorry for the child, but was elated her father supported her despite her not joining in on the game.
DISCLAIMER: Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, and not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: "ware" should be "wear". "rover" should be capitalized being as it is a name.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Bella is relayed well in the poem.
OVERALL OPINION: I think the poem is wonderful. I enjoyed reading about more of the traits that make you love the canine. I also liked discovering what type of dog he is. This is another great tribute to Bella.
ERRORS: A comma should follow "being married". A comma should also come after "Unfortunately". "wondering the streets" should be "wandering the streets" instead. A comma should follow "meet her".
SUGGESTIONS: One of the sentences read off to me. I think "She is my assistance dog" would read better if worded something like She is an assistance dog". Other than that, there are no suggestions to offer.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Bella is defined in a touching way, and her story just as moving.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: I thought the tribute to the canine was exceptional. It is easy to see why you love the dog so much. She is just as fortunate to have one care so deeply for her. Thank you for sharing a part of your heart with us.

SUGGESTIONS: None other than the one mentioned above.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The characters are well defined, and the storyline positively terrific.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Knowing Lornda and Joy, I think you did a superb job of letting others know how much they care for you, Pat. I can relate to your feeling about the foolish things we do when younger catching up with us later, however, with dear friends like Joy and Lornda backing you when things are down, your condition will heal and your heart always stay warm. You are also right about Kaylee. She is the perfect fill-in.

OVERALL OPINION: You did a magnificent job of using the prompt for this week. The rhythm is perfect, and the imagery is sensational. I liked the way you relay you are not fearful of the monsters because you know they are just little ones dressed in Halloween attire, yet paint a poetic picture of what the moonlight monsters look like, (even the daddy). The poem is superb!
