Hello Katwoman,

I stopped to re-read certain lines because it looked as though it was me. It is as if you are spreading the panorama of life before my eyes.

I wonder whether you need to think of calling yourself a poet, when you know what it feels like one. Your verses prove that. Your words ooze sensitivity and lyrical charm.

Only a poet is aware of truth, painful though it might be.

"My life, then, would seem as though
it had been a clever choice and those around me
who have no use for my words
would be spared having to read them."

So what? Loss is theirs. As long as your words are a spontaneous flow of feelings, does it matter if others read them?

Your reflections are observations of life's lessons and experiences, the quintessence of real poetry.

I can see despite "regret" and "self pity," you enjoy writing, the blessed silver lining in the cloud.
Being "conventional" adds to confidence and uniqueness, particularly to poetry like yours.

Thank you for sharing your talent.

Have a wonderful, lovely WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi Mumsy,
It’s a lovely reflection on nature.
Two different sides of nature, each with its own uniqueness is well presented.

On the one hand, you dealt with nature appreciating its beauty and blessedness, on the other, you have shown what it means to have a newborn in the human world.

I appreciate the flowing prose by which means you have the beneficence of nature to all of us.

All the senses are aptly used .
It’s a reader’s delight.

Have a lovely WDC Account Anniversary.

I find this supernatural story very interesting.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of another year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

The story is pretty novel. I find all the various supernatural clans are living within short distance of each other and that they started being friendly neighbors too.
We did read that werewolves and vampires don't see eye to eye. Witches and sorcerers have the same problem.
Your brought three of them together and created some friendly conversations too. Those exchanges are quite interesting too.

" “The witches are chanting deep in the forest....""

It is an absorbing story.

No wonder you have been thinking about Abe Lincoln, his values and ideals. The occasion calls for it.

To me, he is iconic. A strong and supportive person that happens one in a century.
The fact that your uncle willed it to you sounds special. He must have loved him too. Perhaps, he wanted someone who respects the giant of a man as he did.

“ One artefact from a distant kin”

Life was certainly a struggle during those pages of history.

Structured poem flows well with contemplative tone and mood,

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary.

Hello Simply Blue,

I am taken by the title first, and then the content itself.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being an active creative member of the WDC for one more year. Have a wonderful day!

I too like those reflective afternoons and empty playgrounds. The sun sometimes, especially in summer is hot enough to make me stay in shelter. But as I cycle around the playground of the school nearby, I feel the welcoming warmth of the afternoon sun on my skin during the early winter days.

You said there is something sad about this atmosphere. True, because there's no one around and it as if they abandoned the sun and nature looks lonely too.

However, your thoughts have shown that nature looks beautiful at any hour of the day. It changes color and ambiance. It has its own charm all through the day.

I like the reflective tone and the leisurely pace of the piece.

It reads well.

Hello Spiritual D,

this is an inspiring write from any angle, rhyme, rhythm, content and imagery.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of of creativity at the WDC.
Have a wonderful day!

This poem of rhyming couplets depicts the poet’s passion to find a way “to sit upon the star” with the help of his pen.

Pleasing Images like the one above are rare to come across. It helped me imagine going up there and to think of nice things like touching a smiling moon.

The tone of introspection reveals the fact that a poem rooted in truth is a source of joy.
“Expressing one’s soul is a pleasure and joy”

Rhyme and rhythm go hand in hand.

It flows well.

Hello Marie,

This sweet rhyme is spun on precious memories. It contains some inspiring observations.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on entering a new year of creativity at the WDC. Have lovely day!

The picture you painted after life is alluring enough to think of death with hope. The hope is not only to walk with God but also to meet the departed dear ones.

You also pointed out that life and death are two natural ends of creation.

I appreciate the imagery, word choices and the flow.

Hi Blue Jay,

Yes, this is more like my day too.
You did a great job parodying Christmas. Any festival could be jarring for the wife with a job.

This looks like everybody decided to give you a trying day, the headache being the result.

Fun line:
"When I walk through my door to find that my kid has lost his mind
Now he's eating sticks"

You have created a real entertainer highlighting how tough a daily routine could be for a mother and one who takes care of the dog and cat too.

The rhythm is intact and it moves well with the way she feels the boredom yet loving it. All of it grows on one I guess.

"I can really begin to sing, 'cause I wouldn't change a thing"

It flows well.

This poem is just right for this generation. Or, for any generation.
Seasons of life and their attendant cravings and misgivings are well depicted.

Regret, worry and concern rule the players on the stage of life. You have shown freedom from attachments alone can let mind wander and find salvation.

Rhyming couplets contain philosophy of life in a nutshell.

Images from life flash before my mind’s eye.

Thank you for a nice poem.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi,
I find this poem pretty awesome. My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on opening to a new creative year at the WDC. Have a great day.

Although it sounds like lullaby, it has this aura of mystery surrounding it. Who is he? what is the child's connection to him? Similar questions come to my mind.

There's no mention of father. So I cannot presume the person in the context to be her father.

However, the last stanza clarifies that he is no more. Dead and gone to an unfathomable distance. He is not even remembered by many. He must have been dead for a long time now.
So why would the mother want the kid to recall him and her memories of him now?

As I said, I find it interesting.

It flows very well with rhythm intact.

Hi Erin,

as the title suggests, the poem is marked by beauty.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of creativity at the WDC. Enjoy your day!

I certainly like to meet this man, who appears to be the very form of beauty.

"He has the most beautiful mind"
I find this of key importance in a man.

The first stanza shows the reasons why you find him so appealing.

It is an emotional poem wherein the poet is in love with not just the idea of beauty but an example of it in her own life.

Imagery appeals as do the word choices.

Free style poem flows well.

Hi,

it is a cute little poem. I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on going to the next year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

Fear of being hurt is expressed in an appealing way. All the important occasions in life are presented here.
fly,soar,connect, love, cure and death are the times when you require help from others and there are chances of being hurt everywhere.

But life happens without what we want.

It is funny how you want everything to happen without being hurt. Or on second thoughts you might make it possible too. Who knows?

Certainly amusing couplets.

Hello Bren

it is a pleasure to read this wonderful poem on music and its import in our lives.

I picked it from your port to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another creatively active year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

As you said in the poem, music is sublime, a language of the soul. It has the power to cross language barriers to have an uplifting effect on the listener. It is difficult to imagine life without music. In India ( my country) every event from birth to death has a song made to bring out its importance.

Religious and devotional music can bring in vital changes in the life of a person or persons.

"For we all have need of music
And the loving bonds it gives,"

That music is superior that lets us communicate with God, tell him of our pains and pleasures and express gratitude for His support and love.

It has images from life that capture my imagination.

It flows well with with a precise rhythm.

I can see that you are magically floored by love. Love never alters and even if it does, it will alter to something better.

It is difficult to explain the effect of love.
A bit off the usual comparisons, Shakespeare compares lovesickness to a “tooth ache”.

Sounds funny, yet on second thoughts, it sounds true. It continues to bother till you find the antidote.

“ Life would be unbearable if we were apart.”

This is quite a realistic poem on love with true to life imagery.


Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi,
I find the comparison of life with a maze is not far from truth. Unless we think with a clear mind devoid of fear, we can get lost or bewildered in a maze. So it is with life.
However, even if it is possible to reach the end logically, with all those attendant good and bad choices, death is unavoidable.

Pretty good prose piece to contemplate and discuss.

Language has appeal.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary.

Discovering your real dream is not what it seemed, is well shown in this short. No need to settle for something that doesn’t last.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations! Have a wonderful day.

You have effectively shown through the characters you have portrayed that there is no special appeal in merely falling for a guy who lacks an opinion of his own.
The story is quite realistic. But then, how many would give it a thought as your character did? Not many to speak frankly.
Reality hits much later much to regret.

Enjoyed the dialog and the aftermath.

Hi Lesley,
I can see how committed you are for preserving water.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations for being an active member at the Wdc for another year. Have a wonderful day.
Many of the 28 provinces in India, where I come from, used suffer from water shortage. This condition changed after the government implemented water harvesting programme in all the states. Water harvesting is mainly intended to save rain water so as not to let the underground water levels dwindle. With various mechanisms in place, the country is free of water problem, presently.

Many of your suggestions make sense. Appreciate the examples you have given in support of the points you discussed. If the party in power wills, it can solve several problems.

Hello Amber,
your expression of true feelings appeals to me.
My review is for your Wdc Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being a creative member of the Wdc for another year. Have a wonderful day!

Life becomes a challenge when expectations are not met with, when dreams turn to disasters.
Your feelings and fears are clear and understandable. We walk into traps made by the self with our eyes open. We can’t blame anyone, not even fate.

What I appreciate is your language and style. Meticulous grammar and construction of sentences make the piece quite effortless and spontaneous.

Hello Peter,
a nice poem of “ifs” to read and contemplate.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year at the WDC. Have wonderful day!

Aside the fact that despite using the reserves of nature, there still be a lot left, I like the way you let your imagination fly.

“If I used every drop of water…”

As for love, however casually used, it has positive vibes. One of the most precious words in the dictionary of any language is Love.

I like the concluding note of your poem. The free style poem flows well.

"As I woke the morning after

Review of The Island  
Review by jaya

Hello Mela,
this is a pretty engaging story.
Both the characters are depicted clearly. Their motives inspired later events.
You have spun an interesting tale of well-thought out sequences, such as Mela’s tragic married life, her visit back to the island, her reunion with Nicholas and their long and happy marital life.

Apart from a few edits you did a good job.
Edit-
“Leak my wounds”
(Lick….)
“Nicholas Adams in your service.”
(Nicholas……at your service)
“Overexposure”
(Over exposure)

I am under the impression that the last line is not appropriate in the context. This is just my opinion.

Hi Eliesea

Your statements are frank and sincere. Your method of writing is free and liberated from rules and rituals. Your pen follows its own drift of mind. I feel there is nothing wrong in doing this.

"I write one story one-way and then the next another way. Outline for one and not for another."

You can view it as a useful way and not an impediment to your writing.
My only suggestion is that you should come back to the story you left half way through a few days later. Just don't desert it.
As for outlines, they are a good beginning for great stories. They hide a story, which you alone can unlock and make it complete. you will be surprised by the outcome. I do this at times. I have never regretted it.
Good luck with your writing!

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hello Brian,
It’s a true-to-life observation of love, its changing phases and its constancy despite temptations.
My review of your thoughtful and well pondered poem is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being a year older creatively, at the WDC.
Have a great day.

Content-
The undying love of the past and the fresh renewal of passion are well mixed showing the inevitabilities of life.
So they marry to fill that imaginary gap not knowing any other alternatives. As the last stanza shows true love once felt, has no alternatives after all.

Pace-
Leisurely, reflective in accordance with the thoughts and feelings, some of them, deep and profound.

It flows well with images from the past and the present.

Hello Kristina,
You told the story of your marital history in few short effective sentences. I tried to give my autobiography in twelve sentences for a writing exercise. Quite fruitful and worth trying.

My review is on this sweet little piece of nonfiction is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being a creative member of the WDC for another year. Have a wonderful day!

Fifty years of togetherness, by any measure deserves applause. All the experiences, the highs and the lows, the agony and ecstasy are to be read in between the lines. Obviously, it was an ideal marriage and worth being congratulated.

The incidents you have mentioned appear to have stayed on mind for the pleasure and excitement they have given you both.

Lovely memories.

You have used a unique figure of speech regarding wind in this poem. Winds of different seasons standing for various feelings are described quite effectively.
“Soft fall breeze
warm and sweet.”

Poet’s feelings come to fore finding expression in appealing imagery.
“Ever changing
ever lasting”

Life never stays steady and sure like the winds of change.
Free style poem flows well with simple and apt word choices.
