Review of Listen  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
I read this poem and then read it again. You like to center your work, which is very eye-catching. The words you have written - beg, perhaps command the reader to listen to you, as you explain why you write. Gripping words, agonizing words, confidence bordering on arrogance. The passion that drives your writing. It is something you MUST do and cannot get away from. Excellently done. I now want to read more of your work, and read carefully. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Review of Yellow Flower  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Nicely done. I'm not sure which yellow flower you were talking about, but the title caught my eye. My favorite flower is the yellow rose. That's what I want to be remembered with.

Simple poem, but very sweet tribute. Nicely painted image with your words. I also liked how you contrasted her day being done with the rise of the new-born sun. No typos or grammar issues. Excellent work here. I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

sincerely,
amy

Review of Big Brother  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Ohhh...this was so sad to read. It broke my heart. I liked how you centered the short story in the middle of the page. Eye-catching and appealing. The picture you chose to go with the story is excellent. You painted a vivid picture of a mother and son together, holding each other. The promise of hope mingled with the bitter-sweetness of memories. Well done. Even now, I'm trying not to cry thinking about this story.

sincerely,
amy

Review of build and crash  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
An interesting form. Very creative. Your poem followed this form throughout. I will have to give it a go myself, it that's ok. The poem spoke of buildings being brought down my a ball and chain, and then when it's over, you "rebuild". Nice flow of verse in this style you have created. No grammar or typo issues. A Great Job and I look forward to reading more of your work!

Thank you for sharing this.
*Star* I liked how you made this a step-by-step paper. Organized, and well written. You also provided examples of "What to do" and "What not to do". Very detailed in your descriptions of the different points you made in your paper.
*Star* I saw no grammatical issues or typos in this paper to detract or distract from what you were trying to point out.
*Star* Very good advice, such as "Don't speak negatively about your former employers. This could cost you a job". An excellent example. Also, about writing out your references, rather than just saying "available upon request". I remember being taught to write available upon request. Just doing it saves the potential employer time and effort.
*Star* I also liked how you ended your paper with advice on reading another one of your works "How to win at a job interview". A clever way to gain more readership.
*Star* Overall, a great paper. You did an excellent job, and this will be a great resource for people trying to get their resumes out into the work force.
Keep up the great job!

sincerely,
amy

LOL, it sounds like you wish you were born back in that time period. I like the dressing of the period of Henry the VIII, but I wouldn't have wanted to live then. The political intrigue makes today's politics look tame. LOL. What would I need to do to join your little group? I am clearly taken, it seems with the Jane Austin theme. I love your newsletters, you sound quite bubbly and excited in them. Keep up the great work, and I agree with you...leave the vampires to Twilight, and Jane Austin out of it. LOL again. Well done, again!

Nicely done. I also like the pictures you post with the newsletter. Do you create them yourself? If so, great job! If not, where did you find them? Apparently this isn't the only generation to have issues with "sexual content" LOL. I am enjoying your newletter greatly. I found "Death Comes to Pemberley" and "North and South" on Netflix. I've watched those as well. Guess I'm going to have to head the the bookstore. I like the way you switch your font colors up. Makes it interesting to read as well as eye appealing. Keep up the great job!

An excellent read, this newsletter. To be honest, the only thing I've watched is Sense and Sensibility, which Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. After reading your newsletter, however, I believe that I want to look at these classics that I have long neglected. And I have to admit, the thought of the merit badge does tempt me. I haven't written anything that comes close to this genre, but I do enjoy reading, and am open to new things. Thank you for sharing this newsletter, and I will be checking out your other newsletters as well. The color of the font you use is also eye-catching. Well done!

Again, thank you for sharing this. I like how you've centered the poem and the color of it is appealing to the eye. It is a sad poem, but at the same time wishful. Fifteen minutes wouldn't be enough time to spend with a lost loved one. But I love the thoughtfulness and flow of this piece. No typos or grammar problems that I spotted. Great Job! Keep on Writing!

Review of Different Strokes  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.5)
Thank you for sharing. I am reviewing this on behalf of WDC Power Reviewers Group.

*Glass2* My first impression: As I read your essay, it started out with a lot of details about changes to the riverfront of Toronto. The money involved and what the end result of it was. Then the tone changed to a more philosophical one, about what constitutes happiness. A little disconcerting after all of the facts displayed before, but not too bad. Then you brought it down to "street level" as it were. You told about the groups you were around and those you saw as you drank your wine. I really enjoyed the last two lines of your essay, bringing it back around to the Toronto Lake shore, and raising your glass to that.
*Glass2* Interesting reading. I enjoyed the essay very much. I didn't see any grammar or typo issues in this piece to distract from the wording.

Overall, I believe you did a very good job. Keep up the good work.

sincerely,
amy

Review of Letters Lost  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Thank you for sharing this short story.
*Anchor* My first impression: Another heart-wrenching story from a child's point of view on one of history's most tragic events. Vivid imagery goes through my mind as I picture the child's words. Well written - as if a child was indeed telling the tale.

*Anchor* typo question: "mother piled on lots of think and warm clothing" Perhaps you meant things? Also, "the sick had a separate room than us" Perhaps you meant from us? Other than that, Well versed and well written. The flow was smooth and fast-paced as I can imagine people rushing everywhere trying to get to the safety of the boats.

*Anchor* You titled your story "Letters Lost", as in this is a lost letter from that fateful event, or that it was "lost" and never found because of the event? Or that there were so many letters lost as well as lives? Just curious.

*Anchor* I found this story gripping, and sad. I enjoyed reading it, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. A great job! Keep up the good work.

sincerely,
amy

Nice comparisons- the earth to the mother. The tears of Nature for the earth and the tears of a mother for her child. Well written free form poem. An enjoyable read. Although short, it conveys a lot of meaning. No typos or grammar issues. Well done! Keep up the great work.

A tough subject to be sure. You did an amazing job with it. The form of the poem follows an abab format. The rhyming and flow of the poem was excellent. This is a sad poem. Unfortunately, a common malady nowadays. You handled with with taste and decorum. Well done. I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

"Power Party" Open in new Window.

*Butterfly* I see that this is a contest entry. Thank you for sharing the titles and artists at the end of the poem. I also like how the names of the songs are highlighted as well.
*ButterflyO* My impression of the poem is about love hopefully found, but in the end lost. She decided to go her own way. I hear the resignation in the voice of the narrator as he realizes that love from her isn't going to happen.
*ButterflyR* The flow and verse of the poem made it easy to read. I enjoyed reading, and actually read it aloud. No typos or grammar issues here. An excellent read, and a fun format for a poem. Great job, as always!

amy

Review of My Love  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Thank you for sharing.
*ButterflyB* A free form poem about love. The way it invades and overtakes almost makes it seem like an obsessive love. "You are the perfect poison" sums it up vividly.
*ButterflyG* I saw no grammar or typos in this poem. Nothing detracts from the imagery of your work. Well done!
*ButterflyO* The comparisons are compelling. It's as if the narrator cannot live without the love of the other person.
Overall, a dramatic piece of poetry. Well written and enjoyable to read.

Keep up the great work...Keep writing!

Thank you for sharing this poem.
*ButterflyB* I like the way the poem reflects questions that children often ask. I also like how the narrator doesn't have all of the answers, except for the last few. I had to laugh at the ending lines.
*ButterflyG* I enjoyed reading this free form style of poetry. No grammar or typo issues here. Easy to read with a good flow of verse.
*ButterflyO* Overall, a well written poem. Keep writing! A great job and I look forward to reading more of your works in the future!

Review of Lucy  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Beautifully written poem.
*ButterflyB* I like the contrasting colors in your poem. From one side that is colorless and drab to the beauty and sparkle of the rainbow. I also am happy that there was someone special to break through the dullness of life. My favorite line: "With Lucy's hand in mind, we found beauty all around."
*ButterflyG* I like the rhythm and rhyme of your poem. Some free form mixed in with abcb style. No typos or grammatical issues to detract from the grace and beauty of the poetry.
Overall, an excellent work. Keep writing! I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Thank you for sharing this short story.
*ButterflyB*I enjoyed the vivid imagery of your words. They painted a clear picture of inner city streets. I hear the regret in the narrator's voice, even though he sounds "tough", he remembers his grandmother, and the body brings that painful memory to the front. He's angry about it, but instead of leaving her there, he calls a tip line to report the body.
*ButterflyG* The story almost sounds like a monologue: from the narrator to the reader. He reports clearly what he sees, and in constant in his vigil. He remains aloof, at least til he sees the body of the old lady. Even though he is angry, it's not so much at the woman, but of the senselessness of the killing.
*ButterflyO* No typos that I see to detract from the story being told.

Well written, and I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!

sincerely,
amy

I loved reading this poem. The vivid imagery you present in these words are beautiful. The feelings of new love, or love that has lasted several years - there is nothing like it. The format you've chosen is free form so there is no real grammatical issues. No typos to distract from the sweet words of this piece. The way you've written it out is eye appealing, and I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. An excellent job! Keep writing! I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

Very well written. I like the hint of erotica without going overboard. A tease if you will that leaves it open to the imagination. Even the title gives you the impression of delights are to come.

I enjoyed reading the lyrics to this song. It is funny how we look at the outer trappings of a person's garb, and make judgments. It's also funny how you just never know a person's secrets by just looking at them. Cute and cleverly written. No typos to detract from the piece. Thank you for sharing this silly song with a great message.
Keep up the great work, and look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for sharing you essay on roses. It was an interesting read, and a lot of wonderful information. I especially liked your description of the pink roses your mom planted in memory of your sister. I also liked how you put a link in the essay to help others read more about roses.

Thank you for sharing this story and poem. It is true that girls fare better than boys when it comes to toys and playthings and dancing. But society is slowly changing. Maybe one day the rules of "pink" and "blue" will be just a memory. Your piece is well written. I liked how you described your children, and what they enjoyed doing. I didn't find any grammar or typos to detract from this piece. Even though it is an older work, it is still relevant today. Great job! I hope to read more of your work soon.
