This is a nice story. It has elements of drama, fear, suspense and a mild climax. The men are here to conscript people. They are here to persecute them. There must be a way to escape. Niessa is a channel to talk to the men. She tries to coerce them. The commander on the other hand is out to persecute her. King Ivan is her grandfather. She ends up being conscripted herself. The story is enlightening as an eventuality of things. It is a way of looking at the end of things. She waits for twenty years and then she is conscripted too.

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

This is good poetry. Redeeming or realizing one's dreams is one of the fondest things one can do. It is their cherished desire. They dream of something and once it is realized they might dream more or settle for what they have achieved. Dreaming high and achieving is good. It makes us realize our higher potential's. It also makes us more aware of the world around us. A dream will be realized if we put it into proper practice. It is a plan that has to be carefully executed. It is a private thing. It is not shared. The poetry is a good way of expressing one's emotions of one's dreams without disclosing it.

This is a nice poetry about the heroes of the Kokoda campaign. Their heroism, their struggle and their sacrifice comes out in the poetry. They fought and they died. They contributed to their countries vision. They stay aloof from the politics, the policies and the arguments of government. They carry out the orders they have been given. The task is tough. The will will survive the conflict. Only hardened spirits survive a hard battle. The battle becomes more intriguing as it goes on in a foreign country. The poetry brings to light how soldiers live their lives.

Review of text messaging  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | (4.5)

This is a nice article about texting. It enlightens us to how texting can get us closer to our close ones. It can be family or friends. Too much texting can irritate people. Hence, we should be careful about how much we text. The negatives we should take care. Slipping out of people's lives can make them feel lonely and have no idea of our whereabouts. Texting can bring one closer to our contacts. It can also make them aware of us. Mobile phones and pagers have made texting easy. It can also bring up a bill, if we text too much.

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

This is a nice story. A fire engulfing the city can seem like a dream. Running away from the fire can be a challenge. The dread a fire can cause can also make us nauseous. The heat can make us pale. We need to be safe and away from the damage it can wrought. New Orleans is a beautiful city. a fire taking it over can break one's heart. Packing one's suitcases to run away from the fire is another way to leave to another place. The people in masks running around and creating havoc are perhaps to be blames for the fire. Arson and looting can also take place.

This is a good story. The story has animals talking and hence is very similar to fables. A bunny and a raccoon are friends. They are neighbors. They bond with each other. Lou gives Mary carrots and Mary offers a string to Lou. The story is very imaginative. If it can be made into a full fledged storybook, it will be enjoyable to readers. As a contest entry, the story is too simplistic. But, still it has good material. Lou as a bunny is enticing. The story is a good treat to adults and children. A hat or a rainbow is the final choice.

Review of Doctor Fool  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)

This is a good story. Doctor fool is perhaps a comparison to our own follies and how we would like them solved. The random remedies he professes makes us think wildly. Such thoughts can only harm us. As a satire it amuses us. Such a quack of a doctor perhaps does not exist. Health is a priority and it takes up much of our time. The problems doctor fool comes across is a myriad. His solutions are even more wild. The story is a good way of thinking alternatively. It cannot be put into practice. Advising, people to take drugs or smoking goes against medical ethics.

This is a good poem. The Kyrielle style is amusing. The poetry makes us think how our tragedies make us think of how we would fair. A heart transplant is needed. It is the need of the hour. Anyone who can serve this purpose will be a good donor. A transplanted heart begins pumping again and renews life. The poetry shows how hope shines in the midst of despair. Organ transplants are tedious and can also be disastrous. Having faith is important. It shows how we depend on others for our own betterment.

This is a nice poem and a story rolled together. The dragon is special to the Vagabon king. A sorcerer tries to harm him. He falls to his ashes. The knight tries to fight him, he is defeated. The princess kisses it and it transforms to a handsome king. The story about a dragon opens our eyes to myths and legends. Are dragons living around us?. Did they exist in the past?. This are questions that run in our mind. The story has a peaceful ending as they are married under the crescent moon. The poem is like many written like a ballad.

This is a nice story. Megan and Jennifer are happy to be on board a ship. The story is set in the past. They have an amazing experience as the Lochness monster comes along. She is called Nessie. Miles and Bradley also come along. They are a foursome. They are good friends. The incident with the shabby man adds to the story. This is very much the essence of Jane Austen stories. The author has tried to make it look like one of her classics. Miles and Megan are engaged to be married and kiss. The story has a feel of the eighteenth century.

This is nice poetry. The poetry has rhythm and meaning to it. A bumble of gladness is how happy we are inside us. It reminds us of our almighty and how he is so much a source of joy. Our station or occupation in life is known to us. We hold steadfast to it. This gives us gain. Being productive and laborious leads to fruit. The more we strive the more we get. Hence, we gain more from life. Life becomes beautiful. Deliverance from troubles and hardships comes along. Sadness diminishes and light shines forth.

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

This is nice poetry. It is short and precise. A favorite is a loved one. Somebody we adore and like. The person is smart, he is ignorant, and he is violent. He is something to think about. He is the apple of the poetess's eye. She thinks about him and she likes him. She is in love with him. Will they get along together is to be seen. The poetry is very vivid in its description. It shows the affection we have for people we like. It is also indicative of how we admire them. It is perhaps our singular perception about a person.

This is a good story. The story about a beast and his now estranged wife is amusing. A beast in real life with horns and mane, can it be a real?. The beast wants a separation and he is in conversation with his lawyers. How he turned into a beast is something to wonder. Did they have fights before they wanted to separate?. A happy marriage is something they desired. The lawyers try to make the beast keep the castle. He has to look after his wife's upkeep. The castle is costly and in a uptown neighborhood. The story makes us think about how we breakup and then consolidate our belongings from our loved ones.

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

This is good poetry. Love is simple and it is complex. Trust is important. Commitment has to come. Lack of communication can kill a relationship. True lovers do fight, but they also reconcile. Love makes us go on and on. It can give us longevity. It can make us live for ages being addicted to each other. It creates a perfect harmony. The poetry puts together all the elements necessary to make a perfect relationship. A partner for life can make a good friend and compatriot. It can make us find happiness in an otherwise dull life.

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

This is nice poetry. The poetry talks about the song within. The music playing within us has to be listened to. It can be understood if we are keen. Whether it is a drumbeat or a drum roll. The heart pounds and the mind sings. The music is in the mind. The poetry is unique. It makes us think in terms of tunes or rhythms. The chord that plays inside us is obvious to the mind. It can give pleasure or it can give pain. This is the music of the mind. The poetess is threatened and abused and she tries to counter it. It is her inner struggle that comes to the fore.

This is good poetry. An eye follows ones movements from Ghana in Africa to Shanghai in China. Is it the FBI?. It seems like the government is keeping an eye on every movement one makes. They have information of a said person. All activities are being tracked and the person is being traced. The poetry is political in character. It shows how the government is keen to keep up with you. What intent it has is not clear?. Perhaps, it is to get your services for their own use. Privacy is at stake and hence our struggle to maintain the same.

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

This is good poetry. The struggle and the anguish we encounter in our life makes us think. Wisdom is derived hence. The agony and pain makes us think of god. He is our savior and he is our light. When nothing works we seek answers with the almighty. Effort and thought are the keys to success or achieving our goals. If we keep up with it and seek the right path, God comes into the picture. He rewards us and puts us high on his list. The poetry shows how high thinking and achieving are parameters in our lives. How we are impressed by high achievers and how the goodness within us makes us connect with our maker.

This is good poetry. The idea is novel and it makes us think how creative the output is. Writing about torn jeans that makes the poet sad makes us think why. Torn jeans are a fad and they catch people's attention. It is quite a thing among the young crowd. Levis is worn by many. It is true many feel it is a sign of raggedness. It gives a feel of being torn and seems shabby. A first look might give that impression. Our understanding of fads makes us think otherwise. The poet suggests to as well wear torn jeans. The poetry makes us laugh.

Review of Hologram (i)  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)

This is a nice story. It is well crafted and written with a creative imagination. The author dreams of people he knows. Brandon is one, Brona is another. Perhaps, he spends his time thinking about them. They fascinate and amuse him. The descriptions of people and their situations are very vivid. There is meticulousness in the writing. Brona is another character he describes with affection. Keaton he thinks and ponders about. Brona and Keaton are affectionate of each other. They hold hands. Their encounter is written with lazy charm. The writing is capable of being written into a more full fledged fiction or story novel.

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

This is nice poetry. It has wit and intelligence. The mouse starts with a riddle. This is one way to trick a predator. The owl, the fox and the farmer follow suit. The poetry is written with good design. It is different and amusing. The riddle is never answered and the people wanting to feed on others go hungry. It shows how we all want to be the master of others, but we end up with nothing. A circle of riddles is caused and it makes each animal or man to scurry off. It shows how bad the animal kingdom is and how we need to be smart to stay alive.

Review of Life and Time.  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.5)

This is nice poetry. The poetry is very close to how we perceive our lives. How we take in the good and the bad. How we regret and how we feel awful about things. Childhood memories linger on. Money and gaming are part of our lives. It can make us feel happy but can disappoint us. Love is a treasure and it can preserve us. The poet pleads us to enjoy life. Life is perhaps short and it is brief. Age can take up our life and it can make us droop. It can make us bend. If we accept time as it is, it can make us understand it better.

Review of Taken Away  
Review by Soulraider

Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a nice account. It is very lifelike. Logan and Thomas share an equation. They have a love and hate relationship. There teammates for the football team have similar ill feelings. The fight that ensues is to settle scores. This is very much the case of football players having a go at each other. The story is interesting. It shows how players interact with each other and have a common goal. It is also how we are so much involved with our game. It is how we want to be what we want to be. The end result usually might not be what we expect. But the scars remain.

Review of My Souls' Journey  
Review by Soulraider
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)

This is a good poem. It discusses a topic we feel very much about. We are the caretakers of our soul. What we feel and how we emote is often how our soul reacts to. It is our identity. It is what we are. It is often abused and we feel low. Our soul is our connection with our higher reality. It feels love, it feels hate, it feels loss, it feels pain. It is our mind and it is our heart rolled into one. It is how we think. It is our journey through one world to another and more. This is how the soul is. It is on a eternal quest of life. The poetry introduces us to our higher self.

This is a nice poem. The person beneath is often hidden and only when we come to know people better we realize them. The surface is often a superficial kind. The beauty on the surface often hides the person beneath. The red lipstick and the black hair dye hides mostly whats underneath. There is pain and sorrow beneath. There is a feeling of loss and of being lost. The poetry reminds us how we feel about ourselves and others. How we react is how the world perceives us. We are knit closely with the outside world. But the real truth is something else.

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

This is a nice poem. Death can be sudden, tragic, bewildering and shocking all at the same time. It can create loss and maim our minds. It can hurt and can leave us lame for life. The person being dear and the event being sudden can shock us. A loss of a dear one makes us cry. There helplessness and a need to reason the cause comes forth. There is an end of logic and reason. Death is perhaps a cessation of our bonding with our loved ones. It is perhaps our own renewal with life with other bondings. It is a beginning and it is an end. This struggle to understand it takes a good part of our life.
