Hello! I want to take a moment to welcome you to WDC, and talk about "The Art of Reconstruction" for a moment.

Wow, that's a poem with teeth. It naturally brings back memories of my own grandmother, gone these eleven years. Our bonds with "grands" is not the same as those we forge with our parents, I've found, and it's clear you had a strong one with your grandmother. I bet she's be proud of your creativity and talent!

I look forward to seeing both of those around here! Cheers!

This is quite the tale...vivid in its imagery and clear in its descriptive language. The beauty of the garden and the harsh reality of Hana's room serve as great metaphors for your theme. The reader is left hoping that Hana will one day reach her peaceful garden without having to endure the pain of too many thorns!

I'm glad you've joined us here at WDC. It will be a pleasure to see more of your writing here!

Hello, and welcome to WDC! I'm quite curious about your protagonist and what happened to his world. I'm assuming the "colorful" world he's found himself in is ours...but I've been wrong before. *Wink*

One thing I know I'm not wrong about...you will be a good fit here, with your vivid imagination. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your storytelling!

Good day! I hope you enjoyed sharing your childhood memories as much as I enjoyed reading of them in your poem. It's true that we can't remain children forever, but at least we can revisit that time thanks to wordsmiths such as yourself.

Welcome to WDC! I'm hoping to see more of your magic around here!

Greetings, and welcome to WDC! As someone who enjoys the fantasy genre, I am delighted by your poignant tale. Especially the ending, where it seems Tom's greatest adventure is just beginning. You captured his youthful spirit perfectly, as he rose above his infirmity.

You will fit in perfectly here. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stories!

Hello, and welcome to WDC! The father in your story was not the only person smiling; it brought a smile to me as well.

(It also reminded me I need to order more tea!)

To go by the emphasis on a few of the words, I bet you've entered your story in the daily Flash Fiction contest. That's a great competition, isn't it? Teaches you discipline and jump-starts your creativity! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your writing here!

Hello there! I wanted to welcome you to WDC and the SuperPower Reviewers Group, for I see that I have joined our ranks.

"The Muses" is a delightful celebration of creativity in all its forms...you have touched upon all of the arts in your poem, not just writing. And in doing so you remind us that the life of a creative is a blessed one. It's a wonderful poem.

Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to more of your creativity!

What a wonderful, whimsical story! It takes a truly creative mind to craft a tale of spirituality with a humble shoe at its heart. It made me smile.

Welcome to WDC...I can tell you're going to be a good fit for this community!

(See what I did there?)

I was attracted to your poem because it immediately reminded me of my own grandmother, who loved gardening. She kept the flowerbeds outside the farmhouse immaculate and was quite proud of them. Reading of your grandmother's love for flowers has brought back many a happy memory...in my mind's eye I can see myself following along after Grandma again, listening as she rattled off the names of the plants and how she cares for them.

Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane...and welcome to WDC! Looking forward to seeing more of your word pictures!

I'm probably not going to be able to look at corn on the cob again the same way after reading your delightful story! It definitely stands apart from the usual "alien contact" tales and was a pleasure to read. I was especially amused by the alien's name..."Iben Fulled". LOL!

I have one question...was the spelling of "tare" in the second paragraph intentional? I thought at first it was a typo (or autocorrect trying to write its own story), but after looking deeper I realized it might be a play on words. In any event, it takes nothing from the story.

Welcome to WDC! I'm looking forward to more of your stories!

Well, that was unexpected... *Laugh*

I have not visited the Midwest, but I've visited many a small town up and down the east coast and can relate to the setting of your story. I particularly like how you've shaped your tale on multiple sensory levels with your descriptive words. Anyone who's visited a seedy bowling alley can certainly relate.

And then there's the twist at the end. Gotta love a good twist that takes the reader by surprise!

Welcome to WDC! I look forward to seeing more of your work here!

I also would be caught off guard if someone casually invited me in for cake after reporting the passing a loved one and then adding "How are you with resurrections?" LOL!

The "Flash Fiction" contest is a favorite of mine though I don't enter as often as I'd like. In any event, I'm glad to see you taking advantage of it and making good use of its requirements. You're a good addition to WDC...welcome aboard!

Two things strike me about your story. First, the timelessness of it...we have no idea what "the world below" was, where our fool dwells. It could be a magical fantasy kingdom or a small modern town. Nor does it matter. The second thing is the mystery poet. We've no idea who he was, only that he turned up at exactly the right time to "awaken" the fool. And again, it doesn't really matter. Presumably he went on his merry way to awaken other fools.

Your prose brings the story to vivid life. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. Welcome to WDC!

What a simple and sweet story this is! It's a joy to read, and remember my own childhood. We so not see what the box holds but we do not need to...it's clear that it holds precious memories for the character. A very nice touch.

You and your work will be a great addition to WDC...welcome aboard!

I see here the beginnings of an intriguing story...the discomfort of the narrator and his knight, the raucous party, and it attendants. Especially the sell-swords with their "blue-tinted armor". There are a lot of narrative possibilities in these elements!

Welcome to WDC! I look forward to the next chapter in the story!

What a ride this tale was! I especially admire the way you kept the salient details hidden (such as the nature of hunter and hunted) until the end. This is what builds suspense for me and keeps me turning the pages.

Or scrolling. You know what I mean. *Wink*

Welcome to WDC! I'm looking forward to seeing where else you take us!

How wonderful it is to browse over our newest arrivals and find a story like yours...poignant with a lovely economy of words. You deftly painted a picture that was both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Hello, and welcome to WDC! Your story's title promised a surreal tale and did not disappoint. I'm particularly struck by the notion of a place "falling onto" your protagonist rather then them traveling to the giant coffee bar. Or is it a normally-sized coffee bar and the protagonist is a hobbit? We're left wondering and wanting more!

I look forward to seeing more of your stories here!

Bravo for a modern take on a classic tale! You did an especially fine job of holding your story's humorous twist in check until nearly the end, and of guiding the reader to the end. I enjoyed it immensely and laughed out loud at the conclusion.

Welcome to Writing.com! Your tales will be a welcome addition here!

Short stories are usually my beat, but today I thought, "I'll check out one of these new poems"...and I'm so glad I did. All your poem needs is some illustrations of Badger jamming out!

Thank you for the smiles this brought me. Welcome to WDC...keep writing (and rocking)!

Hello, and welcome to WDC! You ask some good questions in your article; ones I'm sure we're all asking as this phenomenon continues to grow. My own take on it is that AI is technology, and technology is a tool. Like any tool, it can be used for good or for ill. In the end, the choice is that of the human using it. My fear is that many will make the wrong choices, but if I went into that I'd end up writing an article of my own instead of a review.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep writing!

Hello and welcome to WDC! I was fascinated by the amount of detail in this piece...I'm not very knowledgeable about your part of the world but thanks to you I know a little more now. And that, for me, is the greatest thing about storytellers...they open doors to everywhere for us, on the power of words alone.

I look forward to more of your stories. Keep writing!

First of all, I am very glad you and your family escaped that accident with no serious injuries...you are very blessed that you EMT dad was there!

Your use of detail gives your story so much depth. The weather, the road, the conversations with the rescue workers and your family. It could have been so much worse, but your dad clearly got your family through this incident with as little trouble as possible. You have every right to be proud.

You do have a typo in your title...it reads "Car crash December 8th, 20909". The extra 9 makes it seem as if this is a story set in the far future...LOL! Just a small detail that takes nothing from the story itself.

Welcome to WDC! Keep writing!

Hello, welcome to WDC! I enjoyed your story; you captured perfectly the dynamic between your elf and dwarf characters. I especially liked the atmosphere provided by the pouring rain...that was a very nice touch.

It's always good to see another fantasy fan here. Keep writing!
