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

This is a good poem. A breakup is heart rending. It can bring sadness and sorrow. Two people going together for a long time, then breaking up one fine day can put to an end a lot of things. A possible marriage or a association or friendship of many years can come to an end. It can also make your heart break as love comes to an end. The affection we feel for another person may have ended. The cherished moments and words also comes to a finish. An altercation or a difference of opinion is enough to bring about an end. The poetry is graphic and shows an act of a breakup.

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

This is good poetry. It is long and the meaning it conveys is a combination of feelings. Cassava is beaten into flour. There are rations of onion broth. Life abandons the weak. There is insatiable thirst. The poetry makes us think how we combine many things or thoughts. It is a cornucopia of things. Hell is being endured. God's word is out there. He is the light we have. The sun rises and sets. Life in the hills of Haiti has industrial air. It makes one choke. Children's shrieks go up in the air. They go past white men, who pass them by.

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

This is nice poetry. A cosmic egg with spidery legs is quite fascinating. It walking over the London bridge makes it even more amusing. It splits and croaks. A lonely proton hums with a dog. It captures an electron and goes into the fog. The poetry is quite different. A zoo inside can mean there are a lot of people in the mind. A genius is the need of the hour. The poetry sounds like a rhyme. The big bang could have been started with a cosmic egg. It is perhaps this egg that explodes and gives the life that we get.

This is a good story. The story is reminiscent of many boyhood stories and makes us be engrossed in them. Marty and Sam are two such brothers who are having a time alone. The dragon in the story adds to the excitement. A talking dragon can be all the more exciting. The story talks about imagination and how it is important for us to go on. A real dragon comes up and starts talking. They take him home and feed him. The story is well thought of and is imaginative. They try to name the dragon and name him as Green.

This is a nice story. A study of Shakespeare and his works entwined with daily trappings can make us feel elated. It puts together many stories. They enlighten us. Hamlet is analyzed. Julia Cortland makes an interesting character. The death of Dean is tragic. He dies young. The story analyzes different authors and their characters. It is a good cross analyses of things. Pushkin's Eugene Onegin is one such character. The discussion is intellectual and gives a heads up of what we expect from our literature leanings.

This is a nice article. Documenting a fire in the Grenfell Tower Block in West London is a nice way of recording things in our minds. The outreach youth programme is designed for youths to come on the streets to take action. The African Women's organization was in the forefront of the tragedy. The tower was scorched and people had a perfect view of it. Missing people and their posters were pasted on walls. London's ethnic diversity comes into play. The casualties are not written about. The bodies found are also not recorded.

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

This is nice poetry. Sweetness in another person is seen and cherished. The words spoken are imprinted in the mind. The sweetness of the words is gauged but perhaps has lies. He is compared to a devil and herself to a fool. A love based on dependency, where one partner has no choice or has to go on to keep from being lonely, can cause such a situation. The sweetness is due to the necessity. Is this love?. Hard to say. A better alternative can make one move on. Life can be sweet, if we understand the conditions we have to follow to keep going on. This sweetness can go on.

This is good poetry. They way rain and love are compared can make us smile. Rain brings in thunder and lightening. Love on the other hand is because of our liking for another person. Until, it coagulates like chocolate and becomes so rich, that we are overtaken by it. But, the cause of love is another person, not love itself. It is the chemistry between two people. Rain can also make us feel liberated and the air around cools down. The wet earth smells good and this makes us glad. The poetry is simple, but still brings out emotions we feel inside us. Poetry lets us express ourselves.

Review of SpamDeLa  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)

This is a nice poem. Eating spam for food can be a way of life. Spam has pink innards and it is soft to touch. It can give a bad stomach, especially if you eat it raw. You might need to throw up if it does not go well. The poetry shows how we share our experiences in written form. Spam looks pink and how the sink washes it down has to be seen. Not wanting anymore Spam is because of the vague feeling it gives after it reaches the stomach. If you are addicted to meat, it will make you want more. Spam has pork and ham as its contents.

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

This is nice poetry. It talks about the will innate in the spirit of man that makes him change destinies of himself and others. It is a very special thing to have. It is a necessity to harbor and nurture it. More so in hard times. Our will sees us through. To fight and to survive. The cat had a will not to kill. It restrained itself from killing the birds. A thrill comes to the poetess seeing the cat and the birds rest on the same window sill. There is contradiction in their mutual presence. She is overjoyed.

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

This is a nice poem. It talks about salvation, memories showing on landscapes and driftwood riding on waves of remorse. White picket fences are where memories unfold. A dialogue with the almighty is needed. Judas takes over and there is a loss of faith. The poetry is very much about how we go about our affairs with its highs and lows. Alzheimer's takes over our lives. There is a shortfall of memory. Life was better before its arrival. Morbidity comes in after Alzheimer's comes in. The poetry gives us a glimpse of life after a disease comes in.

Review of Serial Ouija  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)

This is a nice story. An Ouija board can be entertaining and it is said to connect to the spirit world. The girls are excited, but a demon appears. He threatens them and makes them go through a door. Their bodies are never found. The story shows how ghosts and demons can take over our lives. They can even harm us. There is perhaps a need to be cautious of such entities. The board appears to a boy next. Will he be the next victim?. There was a film similar to such a situation called 'Jumanji', where a board creates a jungle like scene.

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

This is a good poem. There is darkness and loss of hope in the poetry. Impasse as it implies is a way of showing how our emotions run wild. The poetry shows how we are conditioned by our circumstances. How we emote and feel as things come to us. As our situations change we feel irritation, mind with monsters, there is perspiration and there is anger. The poetry is emotional. It is perhaps also about our emotional encounters. Our relations with people, how they feel about us and how we react is what feeling is all about. The poetry brings out all this emotions.

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

This is good poetry. The rains are remembered and recalled. The poetry is gentle and refreshing. The thought of rain and how it makes a new self to be created like a new season can be seen. The pitter-patter of raindrops, muddied boots, the soggy clothes-all are part of a rainy season. A storm bird calls, a flower sings, and children play in the puddles. The poetry is an eye opener to the beauty that nature holds and then unwraps to us. It is perhaps unfolding of life itself and perhaps our own reflection in nature.

Review of A new friend  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.5)

This is a good story. It is quite adept at conveying the meaning of meeting a strange person. A ghost as a stranger can be amusing. Few people have encounters with ghosts. Adam wants to know more about Tom. Tom says he is a jewelry salesman. Tom wants to know more about Adam's family. Adam has a wife and he expects his second child. Tom likes what he hears. This is perhaps because he is lonely. The last scene when he shows his mortified skull and says he was murdered here is the climax. Adam is shocked but is also pleasantly surprised how Tom lives by himself.

This is a nice article about plants and trees. The information provided enlightens us and makes us feel glad about it. Plants supply nectar and pollen to insects and other plants. Pollens are used to germinate other plants. Nectar is used to make honey. Plants are thus a ecosystem in themselves. Trees on the other hand live long. They provide nourishment to insects, birds and small animals. Some small animals make homes in them. Birds also have their nests in trees. Trees also provide shade. The article can do better with more information for kids.

This is a good article. It is informative and tells us a lot about being a published author. Getting published can be a long journey. Tales of trying to get published with local stores are recounted in this article. Self publishing is also another route. Distributing one's works to weekly reviews is another way to get readers take notice of you. Building a platform is like building an audience. Seeking reviews from teen members, getting published with a small press or posting chapters on wattpad.com can be a way of drawing audience.

This is a nice story. Khalid and Sarah are two different people. Sarah is a belly dancer and Khalid is a university professor. Sarah also works as a social worker. She is enticing as a belly dancer. The story is short but it conveys a meaning that is quite different. Sarah is a white belle while Khalid is a middle eastern man who takes a liking for her. Sarah resists him and Khalid tries to win her over. This is a situation we would like to be in. Will they succeed in eventually becoming a couple?. A jealous woman tries to prevent them from winning.

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

This is nice poetry. The death of poetry is implied. Libraries as cemeteries are a good indicator of how forlorn poetry becomes. The past masters are forgotten. The volumes of verses are lost to time. Rhyme is tumbling. Narratives are disowned. The poetry shows how poetry can fall from grace. How things can be sold out. It shows how things can degrade and how we have to be aware of our loss. The poetry is a warning of how poetry can disappear with time. We have to preserve and manage the verses of old and new.

This is a nice story. Archie, Ebony and Moki make a good team. Their struggle with the rope is very enticing and makes reading interesting. This seems like a brief chapter of a much bigger story. There is imagination in the story. Archie struggles with the rope. Moki as a likable cat makes a character that is put in to add to the excitement. This story has a lot of constructivity in its structure. It is well defined and if turned into a storybook will catch reader's attention. The story line has to be more defined with characters having a background and a past.

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

This is nice poetry. It shows the joys and the follies of taking a wife. A wife can be a comfort as well as a life long friend. She is perhaps the companion to keep for life. The man takes a wife to keep her for life. He maintains her and she dies. He still combs her hair. When a neighbor comes inquiring he says she's watching television. She is already dead. The cause of her death is not known. He keeps his promise of keeping her. The man himself dies after her. The death's are tragic. What he dreamed was perhaps not fulfilled. The poetry is nice to read.

Review of Robot and Devil  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)

This good poetry. It is inspiring and it is amazing. It has a psychedelic feel to it. It has romance and passion. The man made machine has still to come into play. An android is a first invention. When we compete with them will have to be seen. They offer him for his own dissolution. It is a challenge and a comedy to him. It makes the author wonder how he is up against such evil. Fame and fortune are part of the devil. Elysium lives and the author is part of it. The poetry is fast and it catches our imagination. Will a man made machine be so clever to subject us by its evil.
