This poetry is very much prose like and could be more done in a poetic form. The pork barrel project in the home state of Sarah Palin is being funded by people she does not support. This is very encouraging as a tip for working out actions. The prose in poetry form is interesting to read. This showcase of greed and manipulative self interest is a test to the life of worthwhile citizens. The poetry is inspiring and makes readers feel the lasting impact of this courageous heroes. The poetry makes us take action against wrong doers and make them accountable.

This is a nice story about Yakov and his girlfriends. The story amuses us as it has a real world feel to it. Yakov and his pinching of his girlfriend's stomach are both shocking and amusing. The cash register at McDonald's, the people working there and the atmosphere are very much familiar to readers. Many might be working at Mc's themselves. The interaction of people at the joint are scenes we remember. Also familiar faces might crop up for a meal. The hogging of burgers make us pig like but it also reminds us of the taste they hold in them. It makes us want more. The story exposes us to such things and hence we connect with it.

This is a good poetry about dogs and how they are a man's best friend. The blonde dog is a pet everyone would want. His owner loves him and takes care of him. Life is good for both of them. They share a splendid chemistry. The dog explores the oceans. It investigates seashells and crabs but gets bored eventual. The behavior of dogs have been studied for a long time to better understand them. He has a guardian angel too. In the end he runs back to his owner who pets's him. We can call the poem-a dog's day out.

Review of The Junk I Carry  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)

This poetry is good to read. It evokes emotions and feelings for the poet or the person it is written about. The person is perhaps the dad of the daughter he doesn't want to see. He wants to know if it was her mother or him. Perhaps he cares about his daughter. The memories of him are the junk the poet carries. He might or might not care for her. This might be the case of most people wanting to move on. The poetry makes us think about relationships and how fragile they can be. It also shows how they can hurt us deeply and leave us in sorrow.

This is a nice short poem about spiders. Spiders build their webs wherever they can. They amuse us. The world wide web is named after their web weaving. They are scary and spooky. The poetry introduces us to their characteristics. Readers will know why spiders amuse us. Their bite is poisonous. The Tarantula is the deadliest. Black widows and brown recluses are other examples of arachnids in the insect world. The movie arachnophobia was very representative of the fear we have of spiders. Little miss Muffet is another poem about spiders. This reminds us of it.

This article is very inspiring. The talk of God and godly things makes us wake up to a reality that is hidden inside us. Reading the scriptures awakens the inside person in us. The author's reading of the sacred scriptures, hidden words of Baha'úllah, experiencing the holy spirit from the holy book, reading the Bhagvad Gita, the Qu'ran, the rigveda, Dhammapada, torah, zend avesta, and writings of the bab makes her a well read and knowlegeable person. Her sharing of her thoughts makes her a enlightened person. Readers might want to read the above scriptures to increase their knowledge and get a better look of wordly things.

This is a nice piece of writing. It seems more prose like and less like poetry. Poetry should have a rhyme or flow to it. This piece is very much like a written down commentary of thoughts. It should be put in poetic form. The buying of fries and soda is amusing and makes us look up to it. It satisfies our hunger. The expression of the waxy candle is good. It makes us feel like it-burning and dripping. This comparison is very inspiring. Our love for the almighty must be appreciated. The idealism is also true. It makes us hold ourselves accountable. This piece in poetic form will make it more appreciative.

This is a nice story of Utsu, Indis and Shiina. The story transforms us into another world where magic can happen. The interaction between Utsu and Indis is very representative of how two people different from each other might interact. The knowledge of the other person surprises them and makes them react in a different way.The explosion in the end adds to the climax of the story. Fenibax makes his entry with the explosion. The golem entering into the Dojo can be a beginning of a new story or coninuation of the present.

This list is interesting as we get to know more about the author's writing's. Other writers and readers would be interested to know more about this books, articles and essays. It would be nice to include a web link with a web page with more details of the individual books, stories and essays. Novels, poetry, anthologies, short stories-the list is diverse. There is perhaps a lot of years of work in this list. The list could include the publishers with whom the books or stories, anthologies or journals are available. Readers would get a better idea of the list.

This are nice rambling conversations held between people. Ramblings written in short form break us from the monotony of other written expression. It can introduce us to our inner thinking's that might not be very obvious otherwise. Written form restricts us to think in lofty and standard ways. Ramblings make us break the mold and think in short form. The expressions of waking up, the clown, studying last night, taking the dog are all short forms of ramblings. They make us laugh and they make us smile

Review of Vampire Princess  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)

This poetry is beautiful and inspiring. The vampire princess is described in various ways. Her name and her friend's name is given out. Her castle is guarded by knights. She is to marry a knight herself. This details are interesting and make the poetry enriching in its flow. The vampire princess is cursed by a gypsy. She welcomes us to her castle. The poetry reminds us of other vampire stories and of stories of vampires drinking blood. The vampire and witch cake baked can be interesting to know to readers. She has tea with her friend Drucilla who is a witch. This adds to her mystic.

This review of "The Red Wheelbarrow" is interesting as it introduces the poetry and the poet Williams Carlos Williams to the readers. The need to find balance is cited as the theme of the poetry. This can be very true as poetry is written to convey meaning in poetic form. The review will be enlightening and informative to most readers. The red wheelbarrow being used and not being appreciated is compared to people in their daily lives. This comparison is very encouraging as it makes us aware of our purpose. Dependency, spirituality, need, grief, healing, uselessness, and hope are said to be facets of life. The review is helpful in describing the poetry's features and meaning that might not be very obvious to readers.

Review of NaNo Premise  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: 13+ | (4.0)

This is a good Nano premise. The protagonist is the centre of the story. The plot has to be developed based on a protogonist. Developing a premise for a Nano story can be interesting and engaging. Kate Johnson and Shina Martin are the protagonists. The goals of the protagonist are also outlined. Conflict is present as the red coats and money supply is less. The antagonist creates the conflict. The premise created is amusing and can be used by anyone wanting to develop a story. High ranking government officials are the antagonists.

This is a nice story of a man who is a bank robber. The story unfolds the life of Robert Martin who is out to earn a living robbing banks. He maintains a family with his loot. His encounter with different men at the bar makes the story take a different form. All of them seem from his past. The scene of the bar is created well and makes us feel there. His 1000.00 and 100,000,000.00 bills are amazing to be found in the pouch. The way he is taken back to the bank and being shot by the same security guard seems very contradicting but can be understood as things can repeat themselves. His eventual end is sad but justified.

This is a nice story of native Americans and their life. The story is reminiscent of the persecution faced by native Americans at the hands of outsiders. Feather Dove is a impressionable character and her attachment to her grandma is also very similar to which most girls have. The coming of the wolf cub as her grandmother being reborn is very fantastic. It makes the story assume a fantasy fiction form. The cubs speaking to her is also very imaginative. The persecution of the people by soldiers is sad and we have to come to terms with this reality. Feather Dove's return of belief in the spirits makes the story win our hearts.

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

This poetry is inspiring as it is written on an unassuming paperclip. Paperclips might be insignificant when we use them for our daily purposes. But, the poetry brings out how they are so important in holding pages and being handy in use. The beauty and the power of these little things are evident. They are described as marching bits of wire. This is a very delightful way of describing them. A paperclip army can only be imagined, perhaps in a cartoon show. It can be animated to feel real and funny. The poetry is full of animation and stirs our imagination.

Review of saying goodbye  
Review by Soulraider

This is a emotional poem for the author's nephew. The idea of the poetry is clear and simple. It is evoking emotions for a dead family member. The way the words play in this poetry makes us feel for the author. This is a tribute by her to her loved one. The loved one is dead and no longer around. This makes us feel sad and sorry for her. There is no guilt or regret just unfilled plans. Nobody knows what those plans are. It is said she never loves in vain. Hence, there is a reason to love her loved one. Five days of love are enough to remember a loved one for a long time.

This is a nice account of the author writing as Jane Austen. Jane Austen was a prolific writer with a lot many number of books to her credit. It is obvious the author has a liking and interest in her. Being a avid fan of an author happens often to many readers. We get addicted to the writer's writing's and keep thinking about them. This account of writing as Jane Austen is both novel and interesting. Readers will get to know the mind of Jane Austen imagined by the author. The fantasy of a man is also very catching and makes us think about how they are involved with each other.

This is a good film review. Readers will appreciate the content of this review. This will especially be true if they have watched the movie or are wanting to watch the movie. A movie review always makes us sit up and take notice. This is because its quite possible we have never heard of the movie or have a slight recollection of having heard of it. The production company, directors, screenwriter and other details at the end are also informative about the movie. Readers will try to watch the movie once they have read the review.

This is a good poetry written about the 60's TV shows. The poetry makes us reminisce about old times and television was new and a fancy commodity. Shows have become now in color with various channels to flip. The different shows quoted are also informative and connects with readers. Readers will remember the shows and be wistful about them. The Beatles are one of the shows to which one can get addicted and still would be interested in watching again. The beauty of old in not present in the new as they possess a charisma of their own. The poetry reminds us of days gone by and how we can remember them.

This is a good poem about love being shared between two people. The voice of the poet's wife saying "Oh cupid, oh cupid, oh cupid" is amusing. It makes us wonder why those words are being uttered. The poet encounter's his wife in the living room. He brings out his harp to play the lyrics. This is heart rending as the love between the two becomes obvious. He says his beloved is beautiful and they are part of a puzzle. They are fit for each other. This feature makes things easy in their relationship.

This is a good poem about a rose complaining about its thorns. It has a comparison to life and how we feel our troubles should end. The wish granted to the rose makes life difficult for it. Evil men and children pick at its petals. The poem implies without our troubles our life would be open to danger. A rose is no rose without its thorns. The poetry is nice to read as it is written in abcb 7-6 7-6 format. In the end, the rose pleads to have its thorns back. This is very heart warming as it implies we learn from our mistakes.

Review of laughter  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | (4.5)

This is a good article about laughter and its benefits. The text should be rechecked for English and Grammar as there are some slips. The benefits of laughter and laughing have been outlined well. There is a real intent to communicate with readers the benefits of laughing. Readers might take to laughing as a way to release stress and feel mentally unwinded. The point of using laughter to overcome feelings of anger, sadness and fear is also a good suggestion. Laughing before our sleep is said to give good dreams. This has to be tested out to see if it works.

This article is a good discussion on morality and ethics. It seems more of a document or thesis written for a college dissertation. Morality and ethics are important to not only American society but to the entire world. Utilitarianism (Mill), Kant, and Aristotle have been taken into account. The explanation provided is exhaustive, but seem very textual rather than written for an article. It could have been made more simpler. Kant’s Duty Defined ethics are explained well. It will help the user understand his approach better. Aristotle’s Virtue Theory is shown to be different from both utilitarianism and Kantianism.

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

This is a nice poem about the importance of light and darkness. The characteristics of both are etched out. Darkness can make us feel low, while the light can energize us. The idea that a poem conveys is always important. Poetry is not always written to convey ideas but written based on moods and feelings. A good poetry conveys the right essence and meaning of what the poet feels. Light and dark are said to be cosmic brothers. This is true as we can experience both in our lives. It also makes us whole and complete.
