Review of Twenty Wishes  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)

This 20 wishes written down by the author makes interesting reading. Debbie Macomber's book is the inspiration. Everyone perhaps can write down their own 20 wishes and see how it works out for them in perhaps another 20 years. The wishes are listed out well and written with precision. The amount of time to complete these wishes should have also been written. This could have given us a timeline to see how they come true. The priority of wishes also matter as we place wishes we want the most on the top of the list and least wanted at the bottom. Also, we could specify if we would switch one wish granted for another not granted. Can this be done?.

Review of I'm not sleepy!  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a nice poem written of a child and his mother. The fact that he can't sleep is intriguing but the reasons are also provided. The light is too bright and the sound is too high. The poetry reminds us of our own childhood when we complained about things to our mothers. Mothers are careful to be sensitive to a child's wants. This poetry shows us this sensitivity and concern of a mother. She asks him to count sheep. And dreams will come back to him. The poetry is written with craft and much care. It is a documentary or account of a child and his mother's love for him.

Rated: ASR | (4.0)

These 27 lessons are good to read. It gives us a look out of how we can deal with situations in life. Echart Tolle is someone to look up to. The lines are both inspiring and awaken us to take action. If we remember this points and integrate them into our lives, we can reap good benefits. There are some English and grammar problems and the text should be rechecked.

Review of Vision Quest  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.5)

This poetry is good to read. It's native American theme is refreshing and makes us feel lighter. The Archimedes form is introduced to the reader. The reference to pine, sage and generations of ritual makes us connect to native Indian forms of worship and use of articles. The Eagle and the Wolf are referred as brothers. This is again a native American idea of using family roles for animals. The poetry makes us connect with nature and native American life. It is a good effort at writing good poetry with good form, inspiring content and right use of good words.

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)

This is a good poem about healing. The memories of a broken relationship is brought out well. The poetry could be longer for better effect. The broken hearts are eventually healed by time. This lines convey much meaning and makes the poem complete. The idea or theme of the poem is maintained well throughout. This also makes the poem special and to standout. Love is said to be a forgiver. The love perhaps between them healed them in the end.

Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a nice story of magic and fantasy. The text has to be rechecked for English and Grammar. The idea of the story is unique and makes us take notice. Readers will enjoy the storytelling and will remember Trace Jenaris. The character of the HobGoblins are amusing. Magic and fantasy have a place in many people's hearts. This story will steal them.

Review of Underwater Stones  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.5)

This is a nice poetry written about gathering underwater stones. It has a surreal feel to it. The idea of gathering underwater stones at the shore is unique and can be harnessed as a hobby. Readers would like to associate with the idea and buy more of such poetry. The lines of Easter coming and finding one's place in the world make gathering stones an eventful activity. In the end, the reader is asked to stay back home and gather his shadow from a stone. Collecting stones can make the reader wiser.

This is a nice and short poem. The length is trimmed to very little and can make the reader suffocate for more. Readers expect more from a poetry. The tiger losing its sisters is mournful. It now clings to the poet. This is also very touching. This poetry written for the poem per day challenge is one of a kind. The topic chosen is special and of interest to readers.

Review of The Accident  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a good poem capturing an incident of an accident in very short lines. The celebrity is at the center of the poem. Her entering the car and the car skidding on tar are very dramatic. It will amuse and refresh readers. The character of Fleur Simone is also interesting. The poetry could have been longer and hence more engrossing. The theme and mood is captured well and makes for reading to be easier and fun filled. The death of her chauffeur is sad but factual.

This is a nice poem about the potential of newborns to become future beauties. The rhyming is in place, but the poetry has a touch of prose to it. It could be more like a poem and less like assertive statements. The poetry has to flow. The idea of newborn babies is nice and introduces the reader to a world perhaps unseen by them. Mother's can see the beauty in babies, this is very true. The hope of a newborn turning beautiful is also brought out in the poetry.

Review of Hello, Out There!  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a nice poetry written to introduce the poet to the community on wdc. The experiences of writing poetry and prose is shown. The idea of the poetry is to make us aware of the goodness of poetry and prose. The poet writes to spark thoughts in the mind. He hopes his poetry is not the same as others. The poet finds poetry a maze and this happens when we try to decipher the idea of poetry that are sometimes complex and difficult to understand. Prose that makes things go ablaze are shared with the readers. The poetry makes us feel how we ourselves are amazed when dealing with poetry and prose.

This article is a good psychoanalyses of the mind. We have many faces and we show only a few to others. The article carries on as a monologue of thoughts trapped in the mind and brought out into writing. The example of wanting to get married is a indicator of how the author wants to open up to the world outside. The mind is brought forth in the article. The idea of no one has actually felt my pain makes readers understand that the pain is different and huge. We are all made unique is conveyed.

Review of Distant  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)

This is a good poem about dementia. The mind is analyzed here with clarity. The use of "D" starting words is very articulate and written with craft. The Pleiades form is new to many and will be an eye opener. The poetry is very straightforward as it talks about memories jogging the mind. The memories go in and out of the soul. The mind here is disarticulated. Dementia can make us think in a distorted manner. The idea of the poetry is new and makes us see things in the light of demented people.

This is a nice short poem. More than the poetry it introduces the reader to the concept of a Haiku and Senryu. The poetry is lucid and simple. The summer clouds are described as moving fast. The Haiku creates a calm feeling to the mind. It is restful and peaceful. The Senryu is fast as it asks the reader to rush to the beaches. The two poems are quite opposite in actions, but convey a singular theme of peace and enjoyment.

This lesson for the grammar class is different and nice to read. It introduces us to prepositional phrases, preposition's and livening up sentences. The author has made a good attempt at having his lesson's written down as a article. The preposition's used make us understand them in a new light. This will be helpful to reader's wanting to improve their grammar and English further on wdc.

Review of Honor  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)

This is a good poetry detailing the different virtues of Honor. The need for Honor is described in many lines in the first paragraph. The lines saying men die for honor are nice. The honor present in men is brought out with much expression. The idea of men discarding honor for different reasons makes us realize how honor is important. The last paragraph has a feeling of prose to it and can be modified for better effect. The fact that people who don't have honor find amusing those who have is also very true.

Review of Cameron Reflects  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a good poetry written with pathos in it. The reflection of the jester is done remarkably well. The jester made children happy. His role makes him different from others. His thoughts about his life and why he has been chosen for death makes the poetry have a sense of sadness. His son Bradley takes over the reins. This makes the poetry fill with a feeling of hope and continuity.

Review of AT THE GRAVE  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | (5.0)

This poetry is nice as it pays reverence to the dead. The poetry evokes a sense of longing for the dead. It is very much full of feelings for the the dead person. The aabb format makes it even more attractive to read. Time rolls softly in the grave. Only the anniversary is the time when the dead is remembered. Both of these points make the poetry interesting and to stand out. The loved one is remembered.

This is a good account of a Halloween celebration. The effect and the season of Halloween has been created well. It makes us feel spooky and eerie. The conversations between the children is done with a lot of skill. It makes the story feel very much real. The appearance of the bowl of candy floating in thin air makes the story stand out for its spookiness. It delivers the desired scary effect required for a Halloween story.

This is a nice poetry about generations of women. The topic chosen is very delicate and has been analyzed plentifully. The women are shown in a very generation wise light. They are young and have dutiful faces. There is no resemblance to the great grandpa. The similarities or differences are being noted in the poetry. The Grandma is also noted in the poetry. The references to the different generations makes reading lovable.

This is a nice episode of a family interacting with each other. The reciting of the story to the son makes the account interesting. It brings out the issue of global warming in a very tactical way. The reference to spring is also brought out well. It is described as the warmth of spring. The dialogues are written skillfully and the story line is also done with much labour.

Review of The Homecoming  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)

This is a nice account of a science fiction episode. The story line has been devised meticulously as the event is in the future. Writing science fiction placed in the future takes a lot of thinking. The story is also interesting to read. The landing of the supply craft Ambrosia makes the crew happy and joyous. The suspense built in the story keeps it engrossing. The crew is dependent on the supply ship. The idea of creating such a plot must be commended.

Review of Fighting Abel  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: 18+ | (4.0)

This is a nice fiction story. The plot is engrossing and makes us think in the light of the plot. The suspense develops slowly. The characters are described in detail. The idea of the story is clearly communicated to the reader. The dialogues are also well written. The synopsis for the murder makes the story interesting. The story reminds of a pulp fiction thriller. The situations change dramatically and in short spaces. There could a better attempt at holding a situation, while the reader can take in more of it.

This is a good poetry about a barber's story. The essence of the poetry is make us understand how finances or other hardships can make us move on. Love did not help Bill overcome his woes. He had to go back to college and learn to weld. The rhyming in the poetry makes it good to read. There has been a meticulous attempt to write good poetry. The last two lines add touche to the poetry.

This is a nice short poem titled by my side. The memory tends to forget for the poet. This makes life difficult for him. The oncome of Parkinson's is terrible for anyone. The disease can create havoc in one's lives. It makes the poet slower. The mind of a affected person is well captured in poetry. Every day is different and hence challenging. The other person is mentioned only in the last lines. But, being on his side make him feel better. The nice feel is there to the poetry.
