Hello and Good evening to you!

I am reviewing your poem "Act of Being Unprejudiced", for you. I am not a professional reviewer. What I can do is give you feedback on how your poem impacted me.

Your poem has a nice rhythm and rhyme to it. You're right. It's not our place to do the judging on people. We have not walked in their shoes. We do not know their personal story. We are here for a purpose. We need to respect others, not disrespect them. We do our best to survive. We can be a tool to help others deal with whatever they are going through. We need to encourage them with compassion and empathy.

Your story is well-written. I want to encourage you to keep up with your writing. We all need to learn not to be quick to judge people for their actions.

I pray you will have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness to surround you daily.

Review of She:Sea  Open in new Window.

Hello, and Good morning to you!

I am doing a review for you on your chapter "She: Sea". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give you feedback on how your chapter impacted me.

The chapter of your story has a nice comparison: She: Sea. It was nice to read your chapter. I don't think I would have thought of comparing the two. I have a creative imagination. I come up with things I am hoping for, but, in reality, it's an impossibility.

In your chapter it says the following:

I know I'm a sinner who doesn't deserve any forgiveness yet I'm sorry! I miss you'll wish your free now, up there. You'll always be my first and the ultimate love, Noah.

I want to say even when we think we deserve no forgiveness we all can be forgiven. We need to give it to the Lord in prayer.

I have a suggestion for you. I would like for you to request a professional reviewer to go over your story with some corrections.

I encourage you to keep up with your writing. This chapter will be good to continue.

I hope you have blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness surrounding you each day.

Hello, and Good morning to you!

I am doing a review of your poem "Pretend". I am not a professional reviewer. I can offer you feedback on how your poem impacted me.

You are right. People do pretend to be something they are not. We tend to put on a fake smile when we're feeling terrible inside We do this because we are told to do so. Perhaps, when we pretend to be happy, it could rub off on us to genuinely be happy.

Your poem was interesting to me. I encourage you to keep on writing. I'm sure others will agree with you too.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness surrounding you each day.

Hello and Good evening to you!

I am doing a review for you on your poem "Success Over Hardship". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your poem has impacted me.

Your poem inspired me. It encouraged me to remember the Lord during hard times and the good times. Sometimes I get discouraged when I find it hard to get through the trials of life sometimes, especially when you're older and most of the people in my life have passed away. I encourage you to keep writing.

Thank You for your poem today. I was feeling a bit down.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness to surround you daily.

I am doing a review of "Behind the Glaze". I am not a professional reviewer but I can give you feedback on how your story impacted me.

I'm sorry you haven't been able to get the rest of your story back because it somehow got lost. When I write, I write it down on paper. This way I can have a backup of what I've written. Another thing I do is buy a flash drive to back up my work. I hope this helps you.

Your story was a sad one. I know life is hard, especially when something happens that was memorable to you and ended up destroyed. To remember the good times with your wife and having to take her back to the same scene where your office was damaged is painful.

Your writing was very descriptive. I can understand where you're coming from. I have been through traumas that will stay with me during my lifetime. I was told to get past them and move on. This isn't an easy thing to do. I have been told to get over it because they have happened so long ago. Medication helps, but they still linger in my brain.

I encourage you to write. Writing down how you feel is good therapy. Even though it's a bit dark, it's important to get it out.

I hope you are blessed with friendships, good health, love, and happiness daily. I hope the rest of your story will turn up.

Hello, and Good morning to you!

I am doing a review for you on your story "The Secret of the Eternal Bloom". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give you feedback on how your story impacted me.

I am impressed. Your story was beautifully written. I agree with you. Your dreams can come true with determination, compassion, and a bit of magic. I enjoy your creativity. I have a creative imagination also. Healing is a good thing. It would be nice if everyone could be healed from all ailments.

I encourage you to keep writing. It's not often you hear positive messages from others. This would be a good story for children to read.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness daily.

Hello and Good morning to you!

I reviewed your poem about pets "A Poem I Wrote To My Pet Bird Friends". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your poem impacted me.

Taken from the King James Version of the Bible is remarkable. This is the best book, in my opinion ever written. I liked the last part of your poem that says:

These gentlest of God's creatures, we have welcomed into our home.
Hand-fed, nurtured, tamed and taught. Trained by patience without end,
To treat us with their tricks, to say, this is "My Bird", this is my friend.
And God saw it was good.
(Adopted from the King James Bible)

I managed to train someone's dog once by doing something different. I asked the dog if it had any new tricks to show me today. To my amazement, it worked! When it showed me something good, I rewarded it with a treat. I was so proud of myself.

I encourage you to keep writing. You made my day today.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness daily.

Hello and Good morning to you!

I did a review for you on your essay in the news "Hunter Biden's Trial Nears End". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give you feedback on how your essay impacted me.

Thank You for the information about what's going on in the news. It was very informative. I am not one to say much about political things since it's so mind-boggling; I don't understand it; it's so confusing. It scares me to no end that our freedom could be taken away from us and we would be living under a dictatorship. This is very scary to me. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought our world could change so drastically.

I am 67 years old and scared of going to the hospital. I would be afraid that once I was admitted, I would not be able to leave. Most of my relatives have passed away. Except for my mom and dad, I didn't feel accepted by them; I never felt I would ever live up to their expectations of what I should be.

I encourage you to write. Your information would be helpful to people

I hope you're blessed with friends, good health, love, and happiness. You are deserving of that.

Hello, and good afternoon to you!

I am doing a review for you on "To Live is Christ". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your story has impacted my life.

Your story is well-written. Everything you said is true. I am a Christian, and I try to be as much like him as I possibly can. I do have my struggles and have done some mistakes. I know that Jesus Christ loves me and will never fail me. Things aren't going right in this world we live in, but I am an optimistic person. I know it's hard to have any kind of optimism the way it's going, however, I am hopeful. I haven't been going to church because I have been hurt in churches. I should not use this as an excuse but it's hard for me to go back. Keep me in your prayers. One day I hope to find the right church.

I encourage you to keep writing. I say that I have a heart for God.

I hope you are surrounded with many blessings, good health, friendships, love, and happiness each day.

Hello, and good afternoon to you!

I am doing a review for you on your poem "Calling". I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your poem had impacted me.

I was able to feel the emotion involved in your writing. It's difficult to feel like you've broken someone and yet can't stop from thinking about him. The part of your poetry went as follows:

He calls to me.
I hear him everywhere I go.
I see him in the crowds of people that surround me.
The ache in his heart.
He broke me.
I broke him to save myself.
To be better for the little girls who look to me for life's answers.
I see the hurt in his eyes at drop off.
The oldest looks just like him, acts like we used to when we were young.
I will never be completely free of him.
Now I look forward to her face when I wake up.
Our wedding just 96 days away
He still calls to me.
I choose to hear the calm of a faraway forest.
There, you can scream, and no one will hear.
One day I'll hear nothing, not a sound.
His heart will mend.
He will stop calling.

Your poem was so good that I wrote down the whole thing. The day he stops calling will be a tragedy. Be glad for the mending and healing of his heart.

I hope you are surrounded by many blessings, good health, love, and happiness each new day and night.

You have done a fantastic job of writing your story. I talked with a sailor down by our city pier one day. His story was very interesting. I wrote a poem about him and give it to him. He enjoyed reading it and thanked me for giving it to him. My story "The Owl, The Best Day"

is a good one. If you have time in your busy schedule to read it, I'm pretty sure who'd enjoy it. Feel free to read any of my writings.

I am honored you have served in the navy and also the other people who have served in other branches of service. The sad part for me is when our servicemen have to lose their lives. I end up crying inside when I think about that. I am thrilled that you have done your duty to serve our country. You should be proud. Your story says it all.

I encourage you to keep writing. Your story is educational and an inspiration to us all.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness each day.

Hello, and Good Morning to you!

I am doing a review for you on your environmental poem "Mountain and Hills." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give you feedback on how your poem impacted me.

I like how you expressed yourself in this poem. I enjoyed the part that went as follows:

As time went by.
Flowers followed her.
As she moved from east to west.
Separating the known from the new.
Joyful are those whom saw her.
As she rose from the debt of the ocean.
Agony struck to those whom saw her nap.
Between the two vast hills.

I would like to point out two things. On the fifth line, whom should be replaced by who and on the seventh line, whom should be replaced by who. I hope it was okay to correct you on those.

I encourage you to keep writing. I can feel the emotion as I was reading it.

I hope you have happy days surrounding you each day and I hope your health will be good also.

Review of Write it down.  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello, and Good evening to you!

I am doing a review for you on your story "Write it down." I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give feedback on how your story impacted me.

I believe I can help you, at least this is my hope. The year 1974 was the year that three major traumas came to me which have turned my life of happiness to that of sorrow. It changed my life in many ways. I witnessed the aftermath of something very traumatic; it was the aftermath of a murder, which was almost like a massacre. One lady was killed, a teenager was shot and nearly died, while a bullet in the shoulder nicked two teenagers. I was seventeen years old when this happened. It wasn't until I turned fifty years old that my life started turning around for the better. I still feel the effects of the traumas, but, when I decided to write some books, I believed I would be someone who could help someone else.

You say you don't know what to write, due to thinking you had nothing to share, because it was a boring life. As for your emotional state, I'll mention what I did for myself. I have a mental disorder known as schizoaffective disorder. There's a huge stigma attached to this one. It took a long time for me to get the courage to write. I did some freewriting; I wrote everything down and didn't pay attention to spelling or grammar. I created names for my characters. It didn't matter whether the characters were good or bad, I began to play around with them a bit and started to write about them.

Your life is interesting, whether you think so or not. Something in your life made you happy, sad, lonely, or depressed. Try making the negative parts into something positive. This is a tremendous help to me. It helps to cheer me up. Play around with your characters until you feel happy about what you wrote.

I hope there is something I said that is helpful to you. I encourage you to write. The more you write, the better you'll feel. Don't give up. You will be able to help other people.

I hope you have blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness.

Hello and Good evening to you!

I did a review on "Stand Tall" for you. I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your story impacted me about relationships.

You said a lot in a few words. I can feel the emotion of hurt and the violation of disrespect. You said you would rather do without him than have your boundaries violated by disrespect. As much as it hurts, it's better not to have this person in your life. I have had a hard time to walk out of a relationship, but I walked out on two marriages after putting up with a lot of things I shouldn't have. I was scared. In my second marriage, if I didn't walk out after years of verbal abuse, I may not have been here today.

I want to encourage you to write. What you wrote can help others learn from your experience. I admire the fact you shared your story.

I hope you are blessed with friendships, good health, love, and happiness for most of your days.

Hello and Good evening to you, Sara!

I am reviewing your poem "PTSD." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your poem affected me.

Oh, wow! There is a lot of emotion in your poem about PTSD. PTSD happens when you've been in a war. I have been through three major traumas at the age of seventeen. Though I have never been in a war, I witnessed something I shouldn't have seen. I wondered if PTSD should've been my diagnosis. I think about checking into that sometime.

I encourage you to keep writing. It is traumatizing to be in love, especially not knowing how the other person feels about you. Your writing helped me in a lot of ways. I admire the courage it must have taken to write your story and to share it in public. Don't be scared; the more you write, the better you become.

I hope the best for you in every way. I hope you will have smiles lasting for a lifetime.

Hello and Good evening to you!

I just finished reading your story about yourself "MY FIRST WRITINGS." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your story has an impact on me.

It sounds like you're going to be entering high school this summer. I am 67 years old and would like you to know I have struggled through the same things as you have. It doesn't matter what age we are, we go through the same things.

Love is hard when we love someone who doesn't love us back. Sometimes, we often cry tears because we don't understand why they don't love us.

I don't judge people by their writings. I know it's especially hard when you're trying to learn English when you're from another country. I admire you for taking the step to give it your best effort. I encourage you to keep writing. The more you write, the better you will get.

I have had trouble with writing and I am an American. Don't give up. I have found out from being critiqued on my writing, I have many things to learn. It was easy to give up and quit, but I am determined to be a good writer and be able to self-publish my books.

I hope you have blessings of good health, friendships, love, and happiness.

Good evening to you!

I just finished reviewing your article "Business Automation." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your article made an impact on me.

I learned a lot by reading your article. It's nice to know there's an outlet where people can contact someone 24/7 when they have a problem with an assignment and need to find an answer to a question or have a resource to turn to when help is wanted for a mental health problem. Anytime there's a question to be answered, AI is there to answer them.

It's wonderful how automation can help someone anytime they need help.

I encourage you to keep going on with your writing. Your writing is very informative; it will help someone no matter what. I am a bit scared of AI. I heard other people are a bit afraid of it too. I have used AI a few times and have been very impressed with it.

I just finished reading your poem "Comforting Loneliness." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give feedback on how your poem impacted me.

There is something to be said about loneliness. A person can be surrounded by people and yet feel lonely. Being alone is not easy, however, a lot of people are alone. It's nice to have people to talk to, but sometimes can be exhausting. When you're the only one in a house or apartment, you can be free to do things without someone hanging over your back. This alone can make one feel lonely, even though you wish for someone to talk with.

I encourage you to keep writing; it's good to be able to write about how you feel. You can help others by sharing.

Yes, I can relate to being lonely.

I hope you can be surrounded by many blessings, good health, friendships, love, and happiness daily.

I am happy you returned to Writing.Com. I have discovered a family here. I love that you consider yourself a doctor even if you're not medical. I can imagine how hard it is to be a teacher and not be able to talk about certain things. Working with children who have disabilities is a wonderful thing. I am happy for you to complete a novel and have it self-published. I hope you will write more. I am hoping to get my books self-published if I can do that. I am confident I can do it, however, there is a little bit of doubt that sets in, but I am determined to do it. I have 250 writings on the Writing.Com website. I am happy I found the courage to go public with my stories. I believe I can help people deal with having a disability called mental illness; I have one as well. I have a schizoaffective disorder. Taking the medications Aripiprazole and Bupropion have been life savers for me. Taking the first one was like a miracle drug for me.

I hope you have many blessings of friendships, good health, love, and happiness to surround you daily. Again, welcome back to Writing.Com. I am happy you have a house now.

Hello and Good evening to you!

I just reviewed your emotional and personal writing "Suffocating Goodbyes." I am not a professional reviewer. I can give you feedback on how your writing has affected me.

Wow. I can feel your emotion of heaviness of trauma. I can relate since I have gone through traumas in my life. I have been told to let go of them since they happened years ago. The trouble is they seem to follow me throughout my life. I talk to the traumas saying I wish they didn't happen, yet, they did. I struggle with the severity they've had on me. I wish they (traumas) would go away, because like you say, they are suffocating. I feel like putting on a warm blanket over you so that you would feel better so I can go on with my life.

Because of medication, it helped me to cope better about it. The effects of the traumas come back, but I can cope with them better. Dealing with traumas is not easy but I do my best to live with them daily. I put on music to ease the pain they put on me. Try to do this, you may find you won't let them bother you as much.

I hope blessings of friendships, happiness, and love will follow you every day of your life.

I encourage you to keep writing. I feel that other people can benefit from reading your story.
