Review of Spilled Milk  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.5)
Good morning, Sara!

I am doing a review of "Spilled Milk". Although I am not a professional reviewer, I can relate to your story about when an agreement was reached to pay ten talons, only to receive five instead. After being yelled at for failing to give him what was agreed upon, he only received half the amount. When he mentioned that the agreement was to receive ten talons, he did give him the ten talons. After receiving the ten talons, the man started down the road.

It sounded like the man was going to die without getting the correct number of talons that was owed him.

I want to encourage you to keep writing. This was a valuable lesson being learned.

Review of Confession  Open in new Window.

Good morning to you, Elengamon!

I am not a professional reviewer. I can offer my input on how your story affected me.

I am doing a review on, "Confession". It's truly amazing that God is able to forgive us of our sins when we confess them to him. I have a friend that I have known since the fourth grade. I continue to phone her to find out how she is doing. She hardly ever answers her phone or returns my phone calls. I feel that I may have upset her in some way. I have no idea what I may have done. There are times when I feel like giving up on trying to contact her, but I don't, hoping that she will answer her phone. This is very sad. I keep praying for her. I pray that she will forgive me for whatever it was that I did. This must be tearing her apart inside.

I felt good after reading your story about how important it is to confess our sins to God, and also to the person that we have harmed by not apologizing to them.

We can lift a huge burden from our shoulders by asking God for forgiveness. When we're not able to forgive, it's like having a bitter root that continues to eat away at us. When we can't, for some reason, go to the source of the one we have hurt, we must take that before God.

I encourage you to keep writing. I am certain that others can be helped after reading this story. Thanks for sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage to do that.

Feel free to review any of my work at any time and write me a review about it. I look forward to getting reviews.
I can improve how I write by getting feedback to learn what people like about my writing. My goal is to write in a manner that is easily understood.

I'm hoping that you had a nice day today and in the future days ahead.

Hello Jane, and good morning!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give you feedback on how your story made me feel.

I am doing a review of, "Diary of Aphrodite's daughter". This is a cute story about the goddess of love, daughter Lea. It's tough to live up to an image of how you should be. I also have blond hair and blue eyes. I just turned 66 years old and it's kind of hard to tell what color my hair is. Interestingly, Zeus has a son named Zachary who is the same age as her, and whom she will someday marry.

Keep writing. This story will give some girls hope for the future.

Hello, Jacklyn, and good morning to you!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I would like you to know how much I enjoyed reading your short story entitled, "A Plate for the Poor". Accepting food with a grateful heart does wonders when you are having to get by without food. The generosity that was given to this child, simply by saying, "Eat up my child", gave this child an opportunity to have a nice healthy meal. Passing an offer like this on to others shows that there are still caring people in this world.

I encourage you to keep writing. This short story made my day brighter. I'm sure that others will enjoy your story as well.

I hope that you a having a good day now and in the future.

I am not a professional reviewer but I will give you my input on how the story made me feel.

I reviewed your story entitled, "The Cold Shower Experience". I enjoyed getting this information about cold showers and all the benefits you get through discipline. Getting through the hard part gets easier once you practice doing it. Cold showers give me chills just thinking about it. Once a plan is made up, sticking with it gets easier; it's just a matter of making up your mind to do it. I will have to give this a try, and then I won't have to think about the chilling effect, just how refreshing it will feel when I make up my mind to just do it.

I encourage you to keep writing. I'm sure that other people will enjoy reading this story.

Have a nice day today and more of them in the future.

Good evening, Erithacus!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give you my input on your poem.

I am doing a review of your poem "Starlight/Green Man. You gave excellent descriptions of colors that you saw in the spring and the winter. I was reminded of the leaves as they are coming out; the way you described the patterns and veins like an early birth. Because of the bitter cold in the winter, this reminds me of a thorn.

I enjoyed reading your poem. I didn't quite understand the last four lines of your poem. I could get more meaning and understanding of it if you could let me know what you meant.

I encourage you to write. I know that the more you write the better you get.

Feel free to read any of my writings and give a review if time allows. I look forward to getting them. It lets me know how I'm doing or what I need to improve on.

Good afternoon, Kaylen!

I am not a professional reviewer but I can offer my input to you after reading your poem. Your story is a sad one, but I want to assure you that other people, including myself, have felt the same way. When I was a teenager, I often got stood up by those I was to go on a date with. They assured me that they would be there, but they wouldn't show up, only to find out that they were with someone else the next day. They acted as if they didn't know who I was.

I am so glad that you shared this poem. It takes a lot of courage to share a poem, story, etc. with the public. You will find that others have been there. I want to encourage you to hand in there; you do have that strength.

I want to encourage you to keep writing. It is good therapy; you will feel better after doing that.

Hello and Good morning!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give you feedback on my feelings after reading your material.

I enjoyed reading your sci-fi story. Seventeen-year-old, Cami Lammila, came from planet Xemos-752 after a great disaster. She was around six when she was sent from earth to a spacecraft. After being on a ship for roughly 10 years, the cracks started to form.

It sounds that your story may have taken place in Death Valley, California. I heard that this is the driest place on the planet earth.

I want to encourage you to write more. This piece left me intrigued and hanging. I wanted to read more about this.

Good morning!

I am not a professional interviewer, but I can give you feedback on what I saw after reading your poetry.

In the first poem: "583 Miles", you had a nice even rhythm for the first four stanzas, and the fifth one was a 6,5,6,7 rhythm. I enjoyed reading this; it was easy to read.

In the second poem: "Early Elegy", the rhythm was uneven, but it was still enjoyable to read.

In the third poem: "3 AM", the first and third stanzas had the same rhythm pattern, while stanzas two and four were uneven, but had a nice flow.

In the fourth poem: "Fetishist", the first and second lines were odd and even and the second stanza was all even.

In the fifth poem: "An Ambien Addict's Lament" the first, second, and fifth lines were even, while the third line had a rhythm beat of seven and the fourth line had a 10-beat rhythm pattern. I found this to be interesting and understandable.

I also enjoyed reading "Who Not What", and "Painting the Roses Red", for your sister, "Not How I Know Me", "Paper", and "I Love You" had different rhythms, but was understandable.

I encourage you to keep on with your writing. The more you practice, the better you'll get. Keep up the good work.

I am reviewing "it's me! hi! I'm the problem, it's me!

Good afternoon!

I am not a professional reviewer, but, what I can do is to say what I got out of your writing (how it made me feel)

I am reviewing your piece "Adding Some Spice to a Writing Prompt:). I didn't quite understand what you were trying to say, but I think I got the gist of it. What I am hearing is that some things that were never meant to die, had died. I'm thinking of a story in the Bible about Sodom and Gomorrah. She was told to not look back at the sinful city that she was fleeing from, otherwise, she would turn into a pillar of salt. She ended up looking back and, sure enough, she turned into a pillar of salt. I can understand the temptation to not look back, being human, we will look back out of curiosity. She made that mistake. Perhaps her intentions were genuine, but she had to pay the consequences.

I find it interesting that you want to add a little spice to this prompt. It is so final when someone dies. Her intentions may have been a learning experience that she could have shared with others. Who knows?

You described your feelings very well. I encourage you to keep writing.

I am not a professional reviewer, but, what I can do, is offer you feedback on what I got from your writing.

I am doing a review of "The Bee". It is a very good rhyming poem. I almost didn't want to do a review about bees since I have been terrorized by Yellow Jackets quite a bit in the past. Honey Bees are good because they produce honey. I can tolerate honey bees better than most bees. I got stung by a Bumblebee once and that was enough.

I enjoyed reading your poem. I encourage you to keep writing. It's true what you say about the usefulness of bees in making things grow.

I am going to give you a five-star rating. Keep up the good work.

Good evening, Ava!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can offer you my comments on how the poem made me feel.

I didn't know what the word wane meant, so I looked it up to better understand your poem. I liked how it said, "Wakes for the night and kisses the sky" and where "The lily in the pond embraces her lover and together they fly to abode". The last part of your poem says, "Waiting for someone relentlessly she sheds her light and wakes the day".

My take on the poem is that the moon appeared to have decreased in size. This would be enough for the lily to embrace her lover and together they fly to their destination. This means to me that the lily got strong enough to embrace her lover so that they both could fly away together. This sounds romantic.

The middle of your poem reads "The lurking frog catches its prey and sings in boredom Whistling wind and mild sand dunes shines in her light". This sounds like a very bored and lonely frog. The whistling wind and mild sand dunes shines in her light. This sounds like the lonely frog began to have hope.

If I got this all wrong, please tell me what it's supposed to mean.

I'm going to give you a five star rating. Your poem sounded very nice. I encourage you to keep writing.

Hello and good evening!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give you feedback on how your story touched me.

I am doing a review for you on "My Memoir updated" My Life's Story. I admire the courage you put into this piece. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and tell others that you have a mental illness. Sometimes it feels like I'm doing great, when in reality, I feel bad. It's hard to tell someone that you have a mental illness because nobody seems to believe it when you tell them. This story continues to inspire me; it is wanting to hear more of your story.

Hello, parable!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can offer you feedback on how I felt after I read your story.

You were fortunate that you were able to raise your kids well by teaching them respect. Teaching them how to raise their kids means that your values will be passed on to their kids. You had a wife that you loved from day one. It's wonderful when you say that she was the best thing that ever happened to you. I love to hear stories like that. The memories that you had are very sweet. I think it's wonderful! She was a remarkable woman; I can tell that by the way you speak about her.

I was married twice and both of them were abusive to me verbally, but that didn't stop me from loving again.

It was sad that many tears were shed regarding the failure of your crops. I hope that your tears of sorrow will be turned into tears of happiness and joy. You should be proud that you've been able to have a loving wife and good kids.

It's hard to believe that I am 65 years old. Soon I will be 66. March 14, 2023, is my birthday. Time is short; it goes by too fast. Before we know it, we get older.

I'm glad that you shared your story; I found it enjoyable to read. Getting this down on paper must have been quite emotional for you. I admire your strength and courage. Continue with your writing. I encourage you to do that. I hope that you will have a lot of good years ahead.

I hope that your day went well and continues to do so tomorrow, and always. I hope, in some way, that I was able to make your day a bit brighter. I'm sending my smile your way.

Hello, Felix Espinoza!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can offer you feedback on what I thought about your story.

I am reviewing your story entitled, "Orchestra". I appreciate you playing the bass clarinet. You've expressed how it makes you feel when you play. Wanting to play it loud makes a person feel better, especially when they enjoy music.

I played the B-flat clarinet in the band when I was in middle school. I was fortunate to have my best friend compete with me for the first and second chairs. No one was able to sit in those chairs. We kept going back and forth in that spot. The dog that we had at the time was my best critic. As long as I was playing well, she was content and happy. When I hit a wrong note by squeaking, she would let out a howl. I loved playing the clarinet.

I encourage you to do more writing. I enjoyed reading your story. You deserve to get an encore.

I hope that your day went well today, and continues tomorrow, and always.

Review of Dark Clouds  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello, dreamy girl!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can offer my input on how your story affected me.

I am doing a review on your story, "Dark Clouds".

I can relate to the character Suzan because I've been there. When someone has been dating for a while and has had a lot of fun with that person, it's very frustrating when you make a phone call to them and get an answer back gets fewer and fewer until there's no response at all. Questions begin to circle in your mind, such as, "What happened?" or "Did I do something wrong?"
You have hope, but then eventually you give up since you have not heard from them. As time passes by, things began to look up and you go on with your life.

I enjoyed reading your story even though it was sad. I encourage you to continue with your writing.

I liked the last part of your story the best that said:

The sky was lit up as it was a full moon. Some clouds moved at a slow pace covering the moon from time to time. The sky in all its vastness and the lovely moon stay there while many clouds passed its way. Suzan gave a long look at the moon and came back to her room. She picked up the phone and went on her contacts. She searched for "Dear Dave" and tapped the delete button following it with deleting everything with this name. She went back to her balcony and smiled at the moon which remained calm as ever. The clouds may cover the moon for some time, but the moon gets back to its original glory.

I would like to see a continuation of this story. It left me hanging. It didn't say whether Dave came back into the picture and made everything right again. I'm hoping that this will be the case. This would've brought the smile back to your face.

I hope your days will be good, today, tomorrow, and always.

Hello, Edward nigma!

I am not a professional reviewer, but I can give my take on how your writing affected me.

Your writing was short and to the point. It sounds like there were a lot of struggles with how different people live life. I also struggle with what is going on with people today. I see a lot of bitterness and hate, which is very hard for me to handle, but, for me, my trust is in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It says in the bible that we would go through rough times, but, through faith, we can know without a doubt, that we are cared for and loved. That is if we put our trust in Him.

You are a person who has a tremendous amount of strength. It sounds like you've been hurt by other people. I want to encourage you to keep on writing; it helps us to feel better when we talk about it. Growing up for me was filled with animals that we had on the farm. The animals showed me their love when I felt that I didn't have it. If you have a pet, spend some time with it; they will love you back unconditionally.

I hope that this review will put a smile on your face. I also hope that your days are going well today, tomorrow, and always.

Review of Days of sorrow  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Good Evening, Cho_Seungyoun!

Although I am not a professional reviewer, I can give you my take on your writing entitled, "Days of Sorrow" on what I have read.

After I read your article, I can see that you have questions about Mother Nature and her sadness, and rain.

Gloomy days can make me feel gloomier and also very sad. This happens when I happen to feel low on any particular day. I wrote a poem entitled, "Liquid Sunshine". My reasoning behind it was that when I felt sad when it rained, I could think of it as being liquid sunshine, which tended to lift my spirits. It helped me to smile whenever I felt low.

On days when I questioned God about why He would allow floods, fires, strong winds, tornadoes, cyclones, Hurricanes, and any kind of bad weather that would end up killing thousands of people. I thought that God didn't care about what he had created. He is always around hoping that we would turn to him so that we wouldn't be afraid.

Natural disasters happen and Mother Nature does her thing. It's been said, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature". Mother Nature, being who she is, is bitter at times, for whatever reason. At times like these, it's better to pray to God for protection. God will never leave us nor forsake us; He's always there. Even though we may never get the answers here on earth, we will get them when we get to heaven.

God will give you peace during a storm. The peace and serenity you get will let you feel relaxed and full of vigor.

I get concerned when someone gets sad, it makes me feel that someone is giving up on life.

It takes courage to write what you did, it's very brave of you.

I encourage you to keep on with your writing; it helps make things better. I am so thankful that you reached out; this goes a long way for the process of healing to begin. You expressed yourself well.

I hope that today, tomorrow, and always for your days to be brighter. I hope that I have brought a smile to your face.
