Hi Allure,
I like your poem, 'A Childhood Throw' and reading about a blanket you found and how the blanket brought back more memories then any photograph could. The words I read in your poem are creatively written to remind this reader of her own old boxes of memorabilia. I've thrown away a lot of that old stuff but still have some of it. Your poem prompts me to go take a look at my own boxes of stuff. Treasured memories are a precious find. TY for sharing. TC.

Hi Bill,
I read your poem titled 'A Young Boy's Heart' and I think it's a heartfelt expression put in words that don't hide. It's good that the author has found writing and words to come out from under being an outcast or a side liner of life. I read anger and maybe even desperation in the words of this poem, anger that a young boy got stuck taking care of his father when it should have been the other way around. I'm not sure where the desperation comes from though. Perhaps I merely sense a longing from the author of this poem, to find himself and love. Thanks for sharing. TC.

Hi Kristi,
I like your poem about Max and I'm glad that his name was honored at the clinic. Max sounds like a really great dog to have and I can read your adoration for him in your poem. Your writing is creative and fun to read. My husband and I don't own any pets but that doesn't mean we couldn't fall in love with Max. TY for sharing and TC.

Review of Undeserved Prize  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Fhionnuisce,
I must say, I've never read any of your poems before so 'UNDERSERVED PRIZE' is a first. I take it to say that all of man's hard earned money disappears in the taxes he pays, never having enough for what he wants or needs. The tax burden becomes an undeserved prize for the worker, which is true in every word. I sense the frustration in your poem and can feel the heart. TY for sharing. TC.

Review of The Gift  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Sum1,
I like your poem titled 'The GIFT' AND i think it is creative. The main thing I get from this poem is that a person who helps others need not give up on himself. I like how a dollar bill the person lends out turns into two or more. The advice he offers helps many. The gift is his though and he receives it in many ways. Thanks for sharing your story. It's a creative reminder that it never hurts for any of us to think outside of ourselves and be helpful. TC

Hi Allure,
I read your poem '10 pm thoughts' and I think the lady you speak of in the poem has answered important questions for you. The words I read are heartfelt and learned from experience. Apparently, you've been down that road before. A different, sad road. Now you're in a relationship that has jump started your heart and given you breath. It's beautiful, not what love isn't but what it is. Thanks for sharing your writing. TC.

Review of The Unholy Boy  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Touch Stone,
I read your short story titled 'Unholy Boy' and wished to God that brainwashing terrorists actually WOULD walk away. I think of Ishamel Bael's book, 'Long Gone' and then I think about your story. I read your words about 'sin in prayers' and the man walking away. I feel a bit confused by what I read but I think I grasp some sort of conviction. The brain washer has some faith, little as it is, and seeing these children 'pray with sin' as you say, moves him to see the terrible reality of terrorism. He walks away. It's just too bad all the terrorists in this world can't be moved in that way. Truth is, I don't think ever will. They simply do not care. Thank you for sharing your story. TC.

Review of Above the law  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Hi Kristina,
I read your humorous take on being 'above the law' and laughed. Your writing is catchy and I like the word play in it. Money talks. It's sad. Me, I'm not at all a criminal. I do see too much of criminals getting away with every bad dead under the sun these days. They get real arrogant and cocky about it. I think it's better to be held accountable then to be treated with indifference. Thanks for sharing your poem. TC.

Hi Maria,
I like your story and the dream you had and wrote about in 'Every Eye Will See Him.' Your words write wise thoughts, in my opinion, how the Lord appeared in your dream, dressed in brown and making intercession. That's quite profound and enlightening to me. I had a dream like that once. I was in my parents backyard, in the dream, and I heard trumpets sounding. Time seemed to stop and, suddenly, people were running outdoors from everywhere. Some people were happy, others were angry. The Lord smiled at the happy and angry, alike, with open arms. Thanks for sharing your poem. TC.

HI Connieann,
I read your poem 'New Year Dreaming' and I think you have some pretty good dreams. Your words speak of wonderful places that I know I could never afford to travel. Like you say though, we can travel all these places in our writing. Thanks for sharing. TC.

Review of Nowhere Bound  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Tootsie,
I read your poem 'Nowhere Bound,' finding 18-lines and 3 questions written by a searching writer. I didn't feel that the writer was 'nowhere bound' at all. It seems to me that as long as someone is searching and asking questions, they are bound somewhere. The answers will come and the person will conscientiously or subconsciously be led where he or she should be. I think this poem is real in that it speaks in heartfelt words. I like it. Thanks for sharing it. TC.

Hello Daniel Francis,
I have read your creative poem titled 'The Tide' and, as a reader, I like the word flow and the meaning I feel from the poem. I agree that our emotions and emotions can drag us down. I picked up 4 key words from your poem: FOLLOW...along...ARISE...discard. i think the main thing is that we shouldn't let ourselves get swept away in the currents. We can discard all the excess baggage we carry. Rise above the tide or follow along. Thanks for sharing. TC.

Review of And Then  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Hi Fivesixer,
I read your poem 'And Then' and it reads to me like a song. Maybe country and western. Anyhow, I think it's the telling of a heart that dies and then lives again, for trying, as though he's already been there in another life. He knows the roads up ahead, which roads turn left or right, but he doesn't know if he's gonna find something. Kind of like the movie 'Groundhound Day.' The guy in the movie didn't find anything different until he found an acceptance in the moment. Here is now. Now is where we are and I hope you have found something. Thanks for sharing your poem. It's creative. TC.

Review of On 24th Birthday  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi NJ.X,
i read your poem 'On 24th Birthday' and I think it's really a heartfelt poem. I read of a father and child, and I think of mirrors and image. i read the words you write about reconciliation and I think of something being resolved. Maybe not. I can only interpret your poem to be written of struggle, in pain, as the writer comes to grips with a man known as 'Dad. Thanks for sharing your poetry with the site. TC.

Review of What do you do  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.5)
hI Zoe,
I read your poem titled, 'What do you do' and I could feel a heart in the words. What do you do. Haven't we all been there at least once in our lives? Lead me to the truth, I pray, and I will follow it to where ever I am planted. Maybe it is where we are led that we find out what do we do. I think there is plenty left for you or I to do, as for every living soul. Your writing is creative and I've enjoyed reading your poem today. TY and TC.

Hi Sookdeo,
I read your poem titled, 'Haiku #20170522' and I think it's the word rhododendrons that caught my eye. You've written a nice haiku and I've enjoyed reading it today. I visualize the storm as the bees, wasps, and butterflies are forced to flee, returning to the weeping blooms. Very nice. Creative. Thank you for sharing your writing. TC.

Hi ERNEST,
i read your poem, 'Singing in my Sleep' and I like the positive flow of the words. There's an energy to be noted in this poem. It's a visual to me, how our memories can spark a flame within our beings that keeps us going. To wake up singing or to sing in ones sleep registers a happy soul to me. It's not to say I believe you or any of us are always happy but it's good to read a poem that reads the emotion. Thanks for sharing your writing with the site. TC.

Review of Irises

Hi HuntersMoon,
I read your poem 'Irisis' and I felt sorry for the 8-year kid, yourself or who ever the poem was written about, that the child lost his mother at such a young age. The writing in your poem is heartfelt and creative. I'm glad the child has his memories to fall back on. My condolences for the loss of this child's Mom. My mom is 86-years old and all of us kids hope and pray she'll stay with us. TY and TC.

Hi Sookdeo,
I read your poem, 'Dear Arrogant Mind' and I think it's an interesting read. I think of a person that has a lot going on in his mind and personnel life. He or she can't explain what's going on inside of his heart, simply by science, though science is acceptable to him. He leans towards the memories that take him back to his roots. It is there that he finds the silence. Peace lives there and a soul is comforted by it. Your writing is creative and I found a lot of personnel connections in the writing that are beneficial. Thanks for sharing your poem with the site. TC.

Hi Aniu,
I read your poem 'Thief of the Sands,' as I was intrigued by the title. Catch title. I read the words and thought of the jackal thief as one of many different sands, suns, and moons. It seems, from reading your poem, the jackal comes and goes, appearing and reappearing to it's own death when the 2nd and life is read. I interpret the jackal to be left in the memory. I wonder what causes the jackal to be arrive in the first place and to be gone. I think the jackal thief is a very real person, place, or thing that comes into all of our lives for the purpose of our destruction. If we're strong enough, the thief will become no larger than a mere grain of sand. Your poem makes me think. It's creative. Thank you for sharing it. TC.

Review of Last Flight

Hi Kerri,
Thank you for sharing your creative poem, 'Last Flight' to the site. I read about the dragons disappearing and I think about the dragon of my own writing, i.e. that nasty writers block, and I feel optimistic again. There's all kinds of dragons, in my opinion, prehistoric and symbolic alike. I think your writing in this poem shows effort and constructive thinking. I visualize the dragons drowning in the ocean, swallowed up, and I believe I can write again. TY. Take care.

Review of The Inventor

HI Birder,
I like your poem 'The Inventor' and I think the words you write are creative and truthful. I think of John Denver's old song, 'Rocky Mountain High' when I read your poem. Nature should never be slighted as it so graciously offers the world it's beauty. It's sad that mankind's interest has become so materialistic. Nature is far too wonderful to be destroyed. Thank you for sharing your poem. TC.

Hi Big Bad Wolf,
Thank you for sharing your story, 'I'm Still Me' with the site. I read every word and I feel you've enlightened me on autism. My nephews son is autistic and I always hope the best for him. I hope that he, too, will say, "I'm still me<" have dreams and follow them. Your writing is right to the tee and creative. Thank you again. TC.
