Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall ContestThank you for entering the November Turkey Limerick prompt! *Bigsmile*

Nicely done string of Limerick turkey preparation from the eyes of the guest of honor -- the bird! *Chicken*

Rules were followed *BoxCheckR*
Humor threaded throughout the strings *BoxCheckB*
Rhyme was well done *BoxCheck*

Rhythm:

I experienced a little hiccup or two along the way, more notable in the fifth verse. The syllable count worked with the rhyme lines, however the flow seemed to make me pause and have to reread it. Perhaps it's just my hearing it out loud. Might be my own tongue twisting! *Laugh*

Good job! *MugR*

Until next time--write on!

Review!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest Thank for entering our November Turkey Limerick contest! *Bigsmile*

Style:

*NoteB*Perfect limerick style
*NoteG*Great humor
*NoteV*Rhythm and rhyme -- spot on!

Roasted with oregano, eh? *Laugh* The touch of herb made the turkey roasting aroma even greater in my mind!

The romance in the barrio, scene -- priceless! It reminded me of an old, classical Disney cartoon about Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet, hats that spent a lot of time on the shelf in the store window. They were also sold and separated for years. The thing is, these two turkeys won't have the same memorable ending! *Laugh*

Great job!

Review!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our Turkey Limerick prompt in November. *Bigsmile*

Oh, I laughed my way through this Limerick trifecta!

Each portion of turkey doom was fun to read and held its rhythm and rhyme throughout.

*Ha* Loved the choice of words, "aplomb" "cordite" used in the third presentation of turkey doom. I think that was favorite of the three. However, the buildup was great right through to the finale. *Bomb*

Good delivery in each of the trifecta portion
Humorous *BulletB*
Fun to read *BulletGr*
Rules followed *BulletO*

Lovely string of turkey limerick delight! *Web1*

Smooth in rhythm and rhyme. *Chicken*

Good job!

Review!

I came across your item while perusing the poetry genre page. I liked the brief description so I popped right in. *Bigsmile*

What I liked:


I liked the philosophical tone of this poem *Thinker*
I like the idea of life being a journey, and there should always be goals in life's path. *ButtonForward*

Observations:

I wonder if English is not your first language? I could be wrong, but a few spots caught my attention. Perhaps they were mere typos and such, but here's what I noticed.


On line six:

"Like infj "*Left* I don't know which word you meant to use here.


"Influenced by your disappear."

"Live by absolute, Sounds awkward when I read it. without doubt,"

*Idea* TRY: Living by absolutes, without any doubts


Parting Thoughts:

This poem has great bones, it just needs a little more clarity so the reader fully understands what you wish for us to glean from reading it.

Conclusion:

With a few word changes this poem will shine bright and still deliver a philosophical message that will make the readers ponder their own pathway on life. *StarW*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I found your story while perusing the Public Review Pages. The review caught my interest. *Bigsmile*

Boy, do I understand your story like a blast from the past. I was born in the fifties, went to Catholic school and did do the hiding under the desk practice drills.

Those years ago we were always waiting for the bomb to fall. However, being surrounded by nuns, we figured Jesus would be on our side and the bomb would miss us. *Laugh*

I found it fascinating that you had such an up close and personal relationship to where the action appeared to be, at the anti-ballistic missile base close to your home. That might have made me feel doubly protected. *Ha*

Observation:

I don't walk around back there to[too] often, it's rather depressing

*Wand* You have brought back memories that made me 8 years-old again. My mind wandered to life in the fifties and the innocence we otherwise had growing up but for the imminent threat of war. I remember being scared to death in the sixties when Kruschev was banging his shoe on the podium in a threatening fashion. *Shock2*

*Piano* You know something? It was sort of a life in black and white. Our TV shows were not in color. It took a while to start them up and a while to watch them go dark after being turned off.

All in all, not a bad time for a child to grow up in, mass-hysteria not withstanding. *Peace2*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your poem because I saw it while perusing the Public Review page. *Bigsmile*

I love Haikus! They are simplistic, a few lines only yet they pack images for your reader's mind's eye. Rain is a perfect part of the nature theme as it invokes so many shades of emotions depending on life's circumstances and is very subjective to one's mood. *Rain*

Observations:

"Clouds are on the sky." "on" should be changed to "in" the sky. When we speak about the sky we would say look up in the sky, if there is something to see, clouds, stars etc.

Additional Observation:

"It will be raining very soon."


*Thought* If you are following traditional Haiku, the syllable count should be 5-7-5. Here, the second line has 8 syllables. "raining" and "very" both are 2 syllable words.

*Idea* TRY:
Rain will be expected soon
OR: It will be raining quite soon


There are other options that will get your point across while maintaining the traditional syllable count. These are just a couple examples. *Smile*

*UmbrellaR* Otherwise, the impending rain is something we have all thought about as our plans do depend on the weather at times. *Laugh*

Nice job! *Smile*

Until next time--write on!

Review!*Angelic*

*Glasses* I found your item while perusing the Public Review page. Your title and brief description drew me into wanting to read it.

*Angel*I could really relate to this poem because I've had the same sensations about her spirit being around after she passed away. I even talk to her at times and my mind perceives what she would be saying to me. Sometimes it's a simple thing like asking her to help guide me through one of her favorite recipes to be sure I don't mess it up.

Loved this expression:

"dissolving my fears
like icicles
in the morning sun"

Such a beautiful description!


"The walls
between matter and spirit
are frozen barriers
... only departed souls
easy passage.

Perfect imagery for the reader to imagine the spiritual travels of a departed loved one.


Parting Thoughts:

Mom's are love, mom's give warmth, mom's live on with us long after they've left their physical bodies.

Beautifully penned with love from a daughter's heart. *HeartP*

Until next time--write on!

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item because it popped up on the random review generator. *Bigsmile*

*Crown* I have spent many days penning Haikus and Senryus during the challenging contest "Game of Thrones. It was my go-to form of poetry when we were asked to name the particular form of the poem. I'm not much of a form poetry writer thus I take the road of free verse. However, Haiku is a form I enjoy doing.

*PaintBrush* I liked the big picture that you painted with so few words. Being one who loves the ocean, appreciating its power and hidden dangers, this poem reached out to me in a profound way.

I love "the ocean rages" Indeed it does! *Shark2*
The last line of course pulls the poem together perfectly as it mentions "anger is beauty."

*Wave3* Complete portrait of the ocean's raging is tied together with winter entering the scene and the changes that come with that season.

*Wave2* I've lived by both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, as well as the Gulf of Mexico. They each have their own form of beauty and rage. However, I think I perceived more change and roiling about with the waves' clashing in the Pacific. I miss it, but not so much the state where I used to live as it has become in recent years.

*Quill* Nicely penned Haiku
*Quill* Followed the 5-7-5 form
*Quill*Very expressive
*Quill*Pulls the reader in toward the sea of her mind's eye.

Good job! *Crab*

Until next time--write on!

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thanks for entering the October Horror prompt! *Bug*

Initial Thoughts:

It's in a graveyard at night -- it's going to be spooky. *Ghost*

Character:

Snokum Joe who decides burying his ill-gotten booty would be better done in a cemetery. After all, who wants to start digging up graves to search for the money?

Surprises?

Perhaps. However, it is a dug up grave where a criminal's body is buried. Anything's possible with that set-up.

Disappointment?

Heck, no! The chills and disgusting ghoulish spittle and bits was well earned by Slokum.

Revenge?:

Well, in my opinion who wouldn't expect a little foul-smelling play when disturbing a place of eternal rest? Aches and pains are sure to follow. *Smirk*


Can't Fix Stupid!


Oh, dear Slokum Joe. If at first you don't succeed in doing the burying deed, try another dead occupants resting place. *RollEyes*



Observations:


He wanted to vomit, but [t]hen something brushed his belly.

If he shifted his weight, if he gave it the slightest opening, the thing woulg[would] move as fast as a snake,


As his fear dwindled along with his slowing heartbeat, he became increasingly aware of his physical pain.

Final Thoughts:


This is as creepy and chilling as I would have expected from you. Now, if you don't mind, I think I need a shower. I've been through a very grave situation. *Grave*

That's a good thing, though! *Smirk*

Until next time -- Fright On! *Skull*

Review!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our Something Horror this Way Comes, prompt in October! *Wolf*

Ah, nothing yields the bitter revenge as a women scorned. Your story took a view at a natural, normal dad with a young child, just trying to keep the family life going on in a calm and decent manner for his son.

Well, all that's fine and dandy unless the dad helped shorten the life his mom. *Shock2*

The set up:

Good tense moments for the reader to savor.

Spirited Spirit:

The former, fine flutist made an special appearance to visit her son on his birthday, and, have a discussion with her husband . The son was otherwise occupied trick or treating with the women who helped the family pick up the pieces of being heart broken and vulnerable following the death of the wife and mother.

Further Thoughts:


I just love endings that make good beginnings for the child involved. There was no real home and hearth where the father and his mistress disposed of the mother without so much as a cymbal clash send off! Oh, there was a clash so-to-speak, the crush of the skull with a large stone.

They Always Come Back!


The dearly departed when disposed of in such an unceremonious way without a chance of goodbye for her son, was on a mission of revenge.

And we all know -- revenge is a dessert served best cold! *Skull*

Conclusion:

Rules and prompt were followed handily.
Good horror and thrills to spike the goose flesh and end satisfactory!

Well done! *Bug*

Until next time--fright on! *Jackolantern2*

WebWitch *Witch*

Review!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our October contest Something Horror this way Comes, contest. *Monster6*

This was quite the eye-feast of horror rolled into a couple villages and the differences between their governance. One was a kind ruler concerned with his villagers. The other was an evil despot-type person selling out his citizens for profit. It had an evil-gang as enforcers. They traveled to the gentler town to wreak havoc, causing destruction and kidnapping and rape of a local young lady.

The creepy part of the story outside of those evil gang members was a local Banyan tree. Banyan trees are perfectly formed to imagine what you described. Their limbs as extended arms and branches like creepy fingers could be pictured. *BareTree3*

*Skull* This was a creepy-dark story that was truly horror-filled but with a sense of justice at the end. It also served as warning against future attacks in that village.

Well done!


Until next time--write on!

WebWitch

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our October Something Horror this way Comes, contest. *Spider*

I enjoyed your Sci-fi story with some of the greatest baseball players being brought to the future under the guise of Halloween cover.

*Globe2* The AI soldiers were to defeat and beat down the evil forces that escape into the wormhole every so many years to wreak havoc on the populous. This wicked witch would meet her comeuppance and suffer the wrath of the soldiers from another time.

*Gears* The wormhole timing is the essence of their ability to complete their task.

The ending wrapped up the story neatly with a win, albeit including the loss of thousands of citizens, but, in the long run, the evil loss was in billions.

Well done mixture of horror and sci-fi.

Thanks again for entering the contest!

Review *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our October Horror Prompt. *Ghost*

Initial Impressions:

The reader is drawn into a tale based on historical reference to witch trials. This particular place was not in the notorious Salem Massachusetts fame but one of the many other towns where trials for witchcraft took place. This town is in Ipswitch. (Loved the fried clams at the famous old Clam Box, there! *Wink*)

Now this "witch" is curious about the mesmerizing spells attached to Dougie's great-great uncle!


Further Discoveries:

The reader is made to understand that the journals found describe how the power is used and Dougie was certain he could learn to use them to his benefit.

Observations:

Who was speaking?


There are no tags and it didn't seem to flow naturally enough to quickly attach the voice to each line, here.


“Changed my mind, party invite still on?”

“Great! CU in 20”


Further Observations:


A couple instances of POV caused me to pause.

Example: "“Do what?” Dougie asked innocently. "It was your idea." But he definitely looked guilty to Rina."

How would he know that she thought he looked guilty?

Parting Thoughts:


There was some fine creepiness around the journals that hooked the reader.

The ending was satisfying to the reader as nobody wants a self-serving controlling Dougie running around vulnerable young ladies.

Conclusion:

Good horror fleshed out at the end. Rules and prompt followed.
Suggestions as noted above would help make this story smoother to the readers.

Well done!

Until next time -- Fright on! *Smirk*

WebWitch *Witch*

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering the October Contest. *Grave*

Curiosity Level?


My curiosity was piqued over the essence of families of that town were trying to thrive undisturbed and apart from any societal norms that would destroy their perfect lifestyle.

What I liked?

I like the way the families were prepared to battle outside evil forces to protect their way of living.

Observations:


The story followed the prompt, their was a definite horror-creepiness shown at the end.

The rules were followed and word count shown.

I did not notice any blatant errors in grammar and spelling.

What would I have liked?


This story begs to be fleshed-out a bit more. I believe, with the amount left on word count you could have utilized, you would have been able to bring more suspense building up to the ending. It seemed rather rushed -- cut short, just as you pulling the reader into the story.

Parting Thoughts:

This was a great idea for setting-up horror. It just needed a little more developing of characters and plot so that the reader could picture the scene clearly along with the characters involved.

Thanks again for entering the contest. *Smile*

Until next time--write on!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering our Cop Shop Mystery prompt in September. *PoliceCar*

What Did I like?


*Check*I like the way you set up the characters into the position to solve the mystery.

*CheckY*I like the big reveal!

*CheckB*I even enjoyed the amusing thought of picturing Old Mrs. Stone coming clean with the embarrassing truth.

What Made Me Pause:


I wish the prompt was at the bottom of the scintillating sentences -- and they were, by the way. Perhaps within a dropnote so it wouldn't distract from the mystery solving. After all, your part of it was what is the important part. YOU did all the work solving the mystery. Thus, it should be up front. Just sayin'. *Angelic*


Rules Followed?

Yes!

*Police* You solved a mystery in exactly 20 sentences
*Police* You identified the birth mother, those involved with the baby switching, and the switched baby.

*InLove2* I loved the amusing ending and the fact that Mrs. Stone is the birth mother of Mayor Writon!

Good job!

I am also reviewing your item as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest. Thank you for entering the Cop Shop Mystery! *PoliceCar*

Oh, Bob -- say it ain't so? *Shock2*

*Shovel* You managed to dig up some real dirt that needed to be buried in Bardstown and never divulged publicly. Yes, it's true that a fire can burn what is printed--but what about what is imprinted between hubby and wife?

Rules Followed?

*Police* You followed the rules and solved the mystery in 20 Sentences only.

*Police*You brought the characters alive so that the reader can picture who the switched child is and who gave birth to him.

*Police* You unlocked the secret of the whole baby switching crime of years ago in Bardstown.

Observation:

Yes, the mayor's name was made to bring the WDC "write on" words to life. However, the spelling in the story is Mayor Writon not Writeon. The reason was to not confuse readers into calling him Writee-on. *Shock2* Just a tiny error that hit my eyes while reading through the story. *Wink*


Not that it matters for the sake of the contest, I wonder if you noticed the Founder's extra long name actually had the initials "WDC" in the middle names.*Ha*


Parting Thoughts:

*Grave2* Such a scandal should this be if the truth ever leaked out. However, the family ancestry tree will become an interesting oddity for the generations to come! *Laugh*

Well done! *Shovel*

This of what it would do to Bardstown, if news of this terrible baby-swapping travesty were made public!

Perhaps you mean to say: Think of what it would do to Bardstown, The line seemed to be repeated above this particular line.


Parting Thoughts:

You did a fine job jumping in and solving this terrible baby switching crime of the past. You also added humor and humility as "Five" preferred to be considered just a remote descendant of Bardstown's founder. *Police*

Well done! *PoliceCar*

Until next time--write on!

Review!

*Shamrock* Ireland, music, jewels and clouds ...this folder has it all.

*Dog1* There's also a place for my favorite WDC pet, "Boo" not that I don't love "Hooves," too! *Cow*

You have a well-organized folder of creative things that will appeal to all readers.

I always enjoy your stories and poetry of Ireland. I felt like I was actually there, and hope to go there one day. But I wan tto thank you for giving me a taste of Ireland. Boo is so precious, as well as Hooves. Perfect characters to narrate a story!

*RingsGold* Top it all off with silver and gold, and you have brought to life a jewel of a folder filled with all things precious!

*Music2* Music is the connection to everyday life and memories and dreams.It heals and soothes.

Love it all! *HeartO*

Until next time--write on!

Review!

*PaintBrush* This is a beautiful folder, Megan! I love the images that cover fantasy, royalty and all things that make the imagination bring a muse to life on a page.

*Fairy3* The fairies, goddesses, and princesses, too. It is a fabulous dream come true for the young and old, as well. You put the magic into everyday life and let your readers escape for a few precious moments of "what ifs." What if I lived in a palace? With fantasy, we can all be there front row and center. Such is the pen of an author and a wonderful muse to bring it all together.

Lovely! *Witchlegs2*

Until next time--write on!

Review! *WitchHat*

I am also reviewing your item because it popped up on the Random REad & Review click. *Bigsmile*

*Brain2* This was an enthralling drive in that Ford Escape! I felt the road beneath me, the feel of great suspension, the softness of the seats. Then, I got hungry from the aroma of French Fries. I felt the steering wheel's ridges and how comfortably my fingers grip the leather covering. I see the road ahead, and behind in the rear view mirror. And, yes, the taste of those salty fries does linger. I even heard the sigh released from the driver's lips!

Yup, All senses got the treat! *GemT*

Observations:


She places the whole thing in her mouth against her incisors and molars, immediately grinding the fried potato to a mushy, salty/sweet mess in her mouth.

Repetitive. You can rework this around to avoid repeating "in her mouth."

Parting Thoughts:

I loved this read. It was short, yet filled with something that each of the senses could capture to its delight.

Well done! *CupcakeO*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review!

I am also reviewing your item because it popped-up on the random Read & Review.

My First Impressions:


When I saw your title and brief description, I knew I was going to get in here and read it. I love old movies and the memories they bring to us who have enjoyed some of those preserved theaters in our youth.

Location:


A marvelous theater, heavy velvet drapes, a stage, the aroma of popcorn, laughter, especially during that particular John Wayne flick. Memories galore!

Characters:

This is a prose-poem telling a wonderful story about life in youth and the love of movie theaters. The story is a narration about the old woman watching the movie theater from across the street. She is thinking about the old days. Ahh, reminiscing!*HeartB*

The Form, Rhythm, Rhyme:

This as a free verse story-poem. It has good balance, and holds the reader's attention. There is no particular rhyme pattern. However, it has a smooth flow, which is important when keeping the melodious flow in free verse. It's not just a lazy way to do poetry, it is a challenge to make free verse have a rhythm that completes the feel of poetry.

Nicely done! It me right to that movie house. I could actually see the old woman standing on the other side of the street thinking about the old days. *GemG*

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *WitchHat*

I came across your while perusing the Public Review page. *GlassesP*

I have to agree with all of that! It is a fun and wild party sometimes being on WDC. It's amazing that 20 years have already passed since its creation! Many of us find it a second home. *Home*

Hey, we've got dragons and fairies, dogs, cats, wolves and witches too! How could it not be diverse?

Nicely done poem in a very succinct package of words. You did really well within 4 lines and 20 syllables. Plus, one of my favorite words is woven within to the point of bold type and bright green just so I don't miss it. "Eclectic"

*PenG* And, if that was a prompt word -- it fit nicely into the whole them of the poem.

Good job, carry on! And good luck with your contest entry!*PartyHatBl*

Regards,
WebWitch *Witch*

Review! *Angelic*

I am also reviewing your item because I found it on the Public Review page, and the title caught my interest! *Smile*

*Wind* I'm a winter child, too, although I'm in February. But I loved reading about such a special birthday, the night before Christmas. The light of saving grace was shone upon you. I could feel the love, faith and spirit woven within the lines of your poem.


Loved this Part:


"Long star filled nights
comfort, inspire and ignite
my soul's banked fires."


*Wolf* Simply beautiful There's a feeling of awakening reading this. Yet it brings some sort of peace within. I felt the mood of the poem brought that spiritual flair to it that makes a reader pause and contemplate their own birth time on the calendar as well as what unknown meaning it has for each of us if we just stay quiet and ponder it.

Lovely!


Until next time--write on!
