This was full of rich imagery and a subtle mysticism that drew me in. It was great!

I really loved how this took me into a forest and into a storm as well. I could see everything clearly. It was perfect.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed this. Keep writing, because you are really good at it!

There were some areas where you needed punctuation, and all of the extra space between paragraphs made it difficult to read.

I thought this was a bit abrupt. It left room for a LOT of questions, which was a bit of a turn off. I like all of the nitty gritty details that you could have written so that I knew more.
Regardless, it was still a good read. I just think it deserves a little more attention because of all of the unanswered questions.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Keep writing!

I thought this was really cute. I think this girl may actually like you based on your story. She sounds like a great girl and the two of you could possibly be a good match. She's obviously comfortable enough to touch you, even if it is just soft, barely-there touches.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
I think I've pretty much said everything I needed to. :)
Good luck with the girl!

This was cute, but at the same time, the narrator seemed just a little desperate for attention, which was a slight turn off for me. Then again, everyone has had those moments, so I can relate to this.

There is need for punctuation in this, and there were some lines that were kind of jumbled to make it rhyme, meaning I had to sit here and try to decipher them. It made for a difficult read at times.

Some of this seemed almost nonsensical. The gel? I thought that was a strange way to describe someone.
There were other stanzas that were very good though.

I just woke up, so it took some time for this to click for me. I didn't get it at first, then I re-read it and laughed. That last line in particular was great.

Give this a once over again and you have something really great! Lots of potential for this!

This was concise but made a point. It discussed the duality of the world in simple terms that could be easily understood, making this a real gem despite the brevity and spacing annoyances. :)

CLOSING THOUGHTS
This is good as-is, but the spacing is a bit much. I would have given this a five otherwise!

Not seen in tarots or on horoscope charts (Tarot should be capitalized, and there is no 's' on the end.)
There needed to be more punctuation at the end of lines like commas or periods. :)

OVERALL OPINION

I really enjoyed this poem. The only thing that "bugged" me was that the first two stanzas had six lines, and the last two had four. Maybe this was intentional or a traditional poem or something, but that would mostly be my own lack of knowledge. ^^
The message behind this was clear and crisp as the seasons you described. It was really great.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Keep writing!

I thought this was really cute, but I felt bad for Momo and her sister when they went to live in the few new house. It actually makes me a little curious about her third home, however, because she is so easily liked.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Did you know that Momo means 'peach' in Japanese? If not, you do now. ;)

This was beautiful from beginning to end. It was short, but that didn't detract from the images it brought to mind.

I particularly liked the phrase 'beauteous flaws'. It makes me think of moles like you mentioned. Some people see them as ugly, but I think they are cute in places. They used to be called beauty marks for a reason. :)

Great job!

So before Atropos cuts you off the cord to the living, remember this. You can’t change fate.
(This needed a little work. Try 'So before Atropos cuts off your cord to the living, remember this: you can’t change fate.'
Tell that girl or that guy, that you have had a thing for, but never told, how much they mean to you.

This was repetitive, which normally isn't so bad, but this was so repetitive that it made me just a touch bothered. It made the whole thing seem off, and like the narrator couldn't quite get it together. That may have been on purpose, but this wasn't quite as good as the other things you've written.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
This is okay, but I have seen you write better. It was so repetitive that I had a hard time enjoying the piece overall.

Poor kitty. I was really growing attached to him and could really see him just as you described him. He seemed like a really loving cat, and I am sorry that you lost him.
As for the story itself, it was very well written and it definitely had a tone to it that kept me engaged. I knew things were not going to end well, but it was so well-written that it didn't stop me from finishing the whole thing.

You used a lot of ellipses that kind of detracted from the overall read at time. (Ellipses are these: ...)
You had some sentence fragments in several places too.

OVERALL OPINION

This is sad in so many ways, but if it is based on your actual feelings and not those of a character, then I am sorry that you are experiencing this. The thought of being alone is never a good one, and I sincerely hope that you find your someone soon (assuming this is non-fiction).
It was well written, but it really needs to be broken up into smaller paragraphs so that it is easier to read.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Keep writing. You have a lot of potential. :)

There were no glaring mistakes, just minor things that would be nitpicky to point out.

OVERALL OPINION

I have mixed feelings about this. In some ways, it was beautiful and touching and serious, but then all of the caps and screaming parts come in and make it seem a little silly to me.
It feels like this came from a place of pain, which makes it a good read, but I think all of the exclamation points and caps detract from the serious undertones and make it almost comical.
It is very descriptive in parts and I could relate to that kind of pain, but I think this needs a second look to clean it up and make all of it serious so that it can shine.
Just my opinion. :)

CLOSING THOUGHTS
If this had been cleaned up a little, I probably would have given it a five, but since it made me feel two very conflicting ways, I am going to give it a three and a half.

This was poignant and I could relate to it, which is probably why it resonated so deeply with me. I have been that girl. I know her all too well, and you really explained her well.
I especially like the line 'By day I fool you all', mostly because I liken that to wearing a mask that no one can truly see beyond. That is how I've always described that feeling.

This is beautiful as is, and I wouldn't change a thing.

You REALLY need some commas in this. It was well written, but the lack of commas made this a difficult read for me over all. In a descriptive piece like this, commas are a necessity!

God why is this happening to me the pain is unbearable?

And in a flash the abomination was off on the hunt to satisfy his need for destruction - the eater of souls was born.

When writing, numbers should be written out instead. Three would be written as three instead of just a number. At least, that is what I was taught in school. It gives the piece a feeling of unity.

I have never been in that predicament, and likely never will be, but GOSH. You poor dear. I would have been so embarrassed. It didn't help that your sister teased you.
It was still a cute story though, and something great came from it. This was short and adorable.
