Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Reb,
I like your poem, 'Thank you, not good-bye' and I felt sad reading the words because I interpreted it to mean there's been a loss of a loved one. If that's the case, I want to offer you my condolences. Sisters are a big part of a families heart, as I know, and I have not lost mine . . . yet. Hopefully, my sisters will live to be old and gray, happy and healthy. Thank you says so much more than good-bye. Your poem reminds me of that fact. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Cold Inside  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Hi Dr.,
Your poem, 'Cold Outside' is absolutely amazing. You really do have a way with words, so heartfelt and creative. For some reason, I think of the agoraphobic as I read your poem. A cold world waiting for the agoraphobic man (or woman, as it could apply to both genders)to step outside. Anyway, that's just my opinion and that's all it really is. I think you have a true talent for writing. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Barely Breathing  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: 18+ | N/A (Review only item.)
Hi Nikola,
I like your poem 'Barely Breathing,' about the bipolar roller coaster of life. I've heard that a bipolar really has two personalities but that both personalities are aware of each other. I'm no expert though. I only know your words are descriptive of highs and lows that write a circle and I hope you (or whoever the poem is written about) find peace and serenity. Your poem is heart felt, honest, and creative. tc and have a nice day.

Review of The Gentle Spirit  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Elycia Lee,
Your poem, 'Gentle Spirit' is interesting. I like it! I'm no expert or anything. I'm just a reader with my own interpretation about the writing I read. In this poem, wrong as I may be, I see a person (a girl) who cannot imagine herself as she hopes to be, feels and fears rejection, and is leery of showing her true colors. She fears the worse will come if this secret is exposed. The secret: she feels lost and inadequate. She's not accomplishing what she knows she could. Insecurity stops her. I think she's really actually a leader but she's lost her place in the sun. Again, her secret cannot be exposed and she hates to see other people walking ahead of her. They are sane. She isn't or was at one time but she's losing her sense of self. Truthfully though, she doesn't really want to hurt anybody. Hers is a gentle spirit and she is true in that way. She simply doesn't know what to do with her inward rage and wishes there were someone she could trust. Your poem 'Gentle Spirit' really does reveal someone who is suppressed. I agree with what you say. Good poem, ty for sharing it and have a nice day!

Review of A Cold Death  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Cynaemon,
I like your poem 'Cold Death.' The only word I'd change, were I the writer of the words, is the last word, "life." I'd change the word to "infinity." It's a great poem though so don't mind me. I mean no harm and can only offer an opinion. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Pat,
I like your poem, 'Bobbie,' and I think it's a lovely dedication to a friend. The writing world needs more "Bobbies" in it. Just sayin'.....tc and have a nice day.

Review of Resume  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Svetashev,
'Resume' is a heartfelt poem. I think, dream, and walk also, as does my husband, when we are able and I take every step with my writing. I watch other people walking by and wonder if they, too, have dreams. Keep on writing. That's all I have to say. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Indian Summer  
Review by Lifeaholic

Hi Pony Tale,
'Indian Summer' is a short and respectable read about the Indians, a tribe of people that are wiser than many. I read the words in your poem and feel sad. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Arakun,
I like your poem 'The Crow' and the message it gives, how these animals of nature are able to lead us out of the dark nights when we listen to wisdom. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Lavender Honey,
I like your list of 'Thirteen Essentials.' I was given the same advice you had as a kid, give or take a point or two. My Dad used the old cliche, "Actions speak louder than words a lot." My Mom said "Try your best at everything you do." It's good to think back on what our teachers of life and mentors have said. ty for a good list to ponder on. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Fyn weeps for jen,
'Galatia Gratification' is an amazing poem. I'd give it 100 stars, if I were able, but the site only allows up to five. Some days you read a poem that really makes you think. Galatia Gratification is indeed a thought provoker. Very creative. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Melancholy  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Eskemo,
I like your poem 'Melancholy' though I'm not at all familiar with the word "ELET' I followed the poem through with the feeling: melancholy, a season that passes and another road that finds its way to different steps. I, too, find myself in a better state when I walk with a dream or "fairy," as you wrote.
tc and have a nice day.

Hi Svetashev,
'Metaphysical Meditations' is a good poem. Why do you write at all? I ask myself why I write too. It's when I start I need some sort of audience that I shy away from it completely. I thought it was interesting to look at the last word of the 8 lines you have written and then the first and last word of each line. It's like a story within a story. Who will read this text? I am reading it but it doesn't really matter. I wish I could do as i say though because I have only posted a few poems of mine to writing.com. It's all so personal and private, I don't like flaunting my thoughts and feelings around. I usually just show my husband what I write. Could anyone recognize Himself in something else? Your question is interesting. I think that's the beauty of poetry. Good poem. Good thoughts. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Tessellations  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Spicy Pancakes,
I like your poem 'Tessellations.' That last line, "In perfect symmetry they somehow never collide" is amazing. Very true. I agree. The perfect symmetry of
perfection, how night and day are opposites that have little to do with each other, except to send messages throughout the world of soul searchers to keep seeking. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Nikola,
'I Am' is a lovely poem and I like the words you write to describe yourself positively. I especially like the 4th verse, "turner of tides, shapeshifter."

Review of The Clever Foxes  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Tim,
'Clever Foxes' is witty and word wise, speaks of truth, sparks inspiration for parents. I feel sorry for kids today, having to deal with bullies, but there were bullies when I was young, too. It's a never ending circle and I don't think bullying will ever end. tc and have a nice day.

Hi svetashev,
I like your poem 'Inspiration' and I hope that my thoughts on that other poem you wrote didn't hurt your feelings. You write fine. Don't worry about your "English mistakes." I don't think writing is about language and making sure the comma is in the right place. I think it's about our hearts and the need we have to express what we feel, even if the people who read us don't understand. It doesn't matter what THEY think. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Chronicler of the Anima,
I like your 152 word-thought-poem 'My Font of Inspiration' and I think you've written a lovely compliment to your wife. I feel the same way about my husband. When he's in the same room I am, writing flows from my heart, and there's a river that only he can make flow. Best of luck to you and your lady. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Mimi,
Your sister Peggy wrote a nice poem. I like 'In Memory of Sherry Mahane' because it honors a person who has died and it shines a light on friendship, how we can be different from one another in this life and still get along. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Not sure yet...  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Rae,
'Not sure Yet' is a good poem. I close my eyes and have a vision, not of what is seen but what is missing when my eyes are not open. This is the word play I felt from your poem and I think it creatively writes or covers a million and one topics. Not just nature but love and life and all the great things that pass us by...if we allow it to be. tc and have a nice day.

Review of Today  
Review by Lifeaholic
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi JDMac,
I like your poem, 'Today.' It's sad though. I wonder just how many people feel the same way. We've all been there and done it, I suppose. I like and relate to the words, as I said I believe of so many others. We're all in a circle, it seems, and it comes back to the beginning, over and over again. We are needy. tc and have a nice day.

Hi Harry,
I like your poem, 'A Nobel Enterprise' and I think it's creatively written. So many men and women have lost their lives because of war. I've read and reviewed several of your poems and feel this is one of your better writes. I wish I could be so brave, as you are, to post poetry as much as you do but I'm quite the shy one, hiding behind the world of reviewing. I'll pull out of it sooner or later though. tc and have a nice day.
