Review of Twisted

SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP LEADER


PERSONAL VIEWS

There is such a sad tone to this piece. The hurt and pain come through well, and the fast pace and rhyme worked to add that extra punch to his poem. The sense of fear and hurried tone spoke to wanting to get away as fast as possible.

There were no spelling or grammar mistakes noticed.

PERSONAL VIEWS

You did a wonderful job describing a new mother's feelings about her new baby. You capture this emotions/emotions very well. The imagery of her sitting there rocking her baby is wonderful. There was a very 'real' feeling about this poem.

TECHNICALITIES (rhyme ect..)

This poem had good flow and pacing, and I didn't notice any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Review 4 or 5 for picking my *Star*!

PERSONAL VIEWS

I decided to review this poem because it was written differently from the others I have viewed in your port. There seems to be a slight bit more forcing of words and phrases as you try to get the lines to rhyme, which does distract a little from the imagery.

TECHNICALITIES (rhyme ect..)

In a few of the stanzas, the rhyme is off, and it does effect the ability for the reader to really appreciate the emotions behind the words.

OVERALL

I think this a very good poem that could be really great with a little tweaking of the rhymes.

Review 3 of 5 for picking my *Star*!

PERSONAL VIEWS

Your writing is so vivid and I am amazed by the images you provoke. Each word is used to build a picture for the reader, and to take them to a specific time or place.

I think the relationship between pain and the tide worked very well here. The pain is always there, but it ebbs and flows like the tide, always coming back.

TECHNICALITIES (rhyme ect..)

Again, no real rhyme scheme or meter, but it doesn't affect the outcome of this poem. It flows well and has a smooth, natural quality.

OVERALL

A wonderful poem full of vivid description and deep emotion.

Review 1 of 5 for picking my *Star*!

PERSONAL VIEWS

This reads quite lyrical to me. I love the dark images you conjure and the feeling of hopelessness and despair can be felt with every word.

TECHNICALITIES (rhyme ect..)

There was no rhyme scheme or certain meter attached to this poem, but it had a great flow and was easy to read.

OVERALL

I really enjoyed this poem. The dark quality wove a great picture and set the tone throughout.

FAVORITE LINE(S)

I feel my skin drip, putrid and free.
It kisses my toes as I walk forward,


Wonderfully, gory imagery!

PERSONAL VIEWS

This poem seems more lyrical to me and has great descriptive value.

There were a few places where the flow didn't feel quite right. For example, in third stanza, such a lover with a sad eyes. I think eyes should be singular or the line reworded. Here's another one, Had God wept on us?…. I believe He is. Do you mean, he 'has'?

PERSONAL VIEWS

This is an interesting piece. You have a good message, and the tone fits it nicely. There are a few grammar mistakes where you have missed an apostrophe to denote posession. It's more of just a statement of fact, but it does come together well and the point in made in the end.

I'm not quite sure how to review this. I reads as a newspaper ad, not something I'm used to.

You describe the palace and the grounds quite well, and you give all the information needed for someone who would want to take their pet there.

There wree no spelling or grammar mistakes noticed.

PERSONAL VIEWS

This is an interesting monologue that takes on on a trip through finding love and losing it. It reads of loss and longing, but the ending shows that there is still hope out there and not to dwell of what might have been, but will be. It was well written and flowed smoothly. There were no grammar or spelling mistakes noticed.

You did a great job with this story! It was funny and nicely paced and followed the prompt well. I have tried this contest, and I know how hard it can be to interject the titles in seemlessly, and you did it.

The characters are realistic and funny and the descriptions provided good imagery.

I didn't find and grammar our spelling mistakes, and I enjoyed reading this.

SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP LEADER


PERSONAL VIEWS

While I think this could be very good, there are a few things that make it hard to understand. The first thing, is the punctuation and the not capitalizing the first word in the sentences. Also, I noticed that are a few words that seem to be missing in the first stanza, and the period after Deserted doesn't make much sense to me.

OVERALL

It seems like you are going for an abstract feel here, but I think you went a little too abstract.

There were quite a few punctuation mistakes, but nothing a quick edit can't fix.

PERSONAL VIEWS

This is a very moving story about a little girl who didn't understand the gifts her mother gave her.

Mama was a great character, and you did a great job of portrayer her to the reader.

I think you did the shift from past to present tense very well and the flow of the story and pacing fit nicely.

OVERALL

A loving story about a mother's love. I really enjoyed reading this.

PERSONAL VIEWS

I actually found this a very interesting little read. You set a good tone and described the scene the elderly man was seeing very well.

TECHNICALITIES

There were no spelling or grammar mistakes. However, I noticed that in the second paragraph you use a period when a question mark is required.

Also, I think that last two sentences would have more impact if they were combined.

OVERALL

Though I wouldn't quite consider this a story, more of a scene-in-the-life-of sort of piece, I enjoyed reading it.

PERSONAL VIEWS

This is such a sad and heartbreaking poem. The lost of a child is one of the worst pain a parent can feel.

TECHNICALITIES (rhyme ect..)

For the most part the poem flows well, the only problem I had was in the next to the last stanza. You use the words taken away twice. I might suggest replacing one of them with something else.

OVERALL

A beautiful, sad poem full of emotion.

THE OPENING

The opening lines work well, giving the reader the family dynamics right up front and sets the tone for the rest of the story.

CHARACTERS

You did a great job with these characters. They are very real feeling and come across as actual people.

SETTING

I think you described Danni's bedroom well, but I would have like a little more about David's room so I would know what, indeed, was so great about it. Was it just the size?

DIALOGUE

The dialogue felt very natural and read as family banter. Well done.

GRAMMAR/SPELLING

There were no grammar or spelling mistakes noticed.

THE ENDING

The ending pulled everything together nicely, and I really enjoyed the last line.

OVERALL

A very good story about finding the unexpected and being happy with what you have.

Thank you for sharing your work.
