Dear RJ Moody,

Hello! I am reviewing your piece for the Simply Positive Newbie Reviewers Group. Remember that the opinions that I express are mine, as a reader on this site. I am certainly not an expert, but I do enjoy reading! I hope that you will find this review helpful.

Overall Impression:HaHaHa! Your poem made me laugh out loud. What a lot of work is involved to keep flowers fresh! I have always told my husband NOT to send me cut flowers. They die too quickly and then I am sad to have to throw them out. Having worked for a friend who had a florist, I was around all kinds of flowers. Most of their longevity depends on how fresh they are when they are sent out.
I enjoyed reading your work. It was humorous. Your rhyme scheme of abcbdefe and your free-verse style worked well for you.

Suggestions: None. Write on!

Please allow me to encourage you to continue to write and enjoy all that WDC has to offer!

Nani

Overall Impression: Your rhyme scheme of aabb works well in this poem. The tale of a love gone very wrong, and the central character giving a deadly ultimatum is chilling. The flow is smooth and gives the reader on a macabre glimpse of love.

Overall Impression: What a disappointment "love" can be at times! It sounds as though your character has been the victim of a one-sided love affair in which he/she was hurt by the other partner. Sad! Your short free-verse style tells a woeful tale. Good word choice.

Hello! I am reviewing your piece for the Simply Positive Newbie Reviewers Group. Remember that the opinions that I express are mine, as a reader on this site. I am certainly not an expert, but I do enjoy reading! I hope that you will find this review helpful.

Overall Impression: Gossip does cause pain, whether directly or indirectly. It sounds as though you have born the brunt of some vicious talk at one time. The form of your poem is interesting. You chose to write in a style (perhaps your own?) that is not traditional. It's free-verse does rhyme internally within each "stanza". Thank you for sharing your work! I, personally, feel that a writer should be allowed to be "himself/herself" and that be reflected in their creations. The only time that you might choose to conform to a style should be when you choose to enter a contest or activity that requires a particular form, or other restrictions. Write on!

Dear tat,

Hello! I am reviewing your piece for the Simply Positive Newbie Reviewers Group. Remember that the opinions that I express are mine, as a reader on this site. I am certainly not an expert, but I do enjoy reading! I hope that you will find this review helpful.

Overall Impression: Your free-verse transitions smoothly from line to line, telling a tale of the character's phobias. Fear, whether real or imagined, can be devastating to a person, making their life a living "hell". Overcoming those feelings is not a simple matter, and "facing your fear" may require years of therapy. Fear is a powerful emotion, and one for which you list many causes. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Suggestions: None.

Dear Miss Gascoyne,

** Image ID #1536806 Unavailable **
Hello! I am reviewing your piece for the Simply Positive Newbie Reviewers Group. Remember that the opinions that I express are mine, as a reader on this site. I am certainly not an expert, but I do enjoy reading! I hope that you will find this review helpful.

Overall Impression: In my opinion, the overall rhyme scheme flows smoothly with abcb meter. It tells a story of a forbidden love and a farewell by one who knows that his/her actions will hurt the other. Your word choice to make the reader feel emotion of the character was good. Thanks for sharing!

Suggestions: Please keep in mind that the following are simply suggestions meant to help. You may choose to use them or discard them. In the first verse, your rhyme scheme seems a little soft with the rhyming of "endure" and "more". You might want to rethink it and use a more defined rhyme such as "endure/pure" or "core/more". Sometimes when words become all jumbled up in my head, I find that using a site called "rhymezone.com" helps me to find more choices. Secondly, in the second verse, first line, you failed to capitalize "i". This may have been intentional, or not. That is up to you as a writer, but you did capitalize it in other places, and consistency counts. This repeats itself in verse 3, line 3, verse 4, line 4 and in verse 6, line 2. In this same verse, you wrote "decieit". Perhaps, you meant "deceit"? I am sure this is simply a "typo". This are minor! Please do not take offense. I am constantly editing my writing even years after I create it. I did not edit for punctuation, as I am not proficient in that area. If you need any assistance in editing, though, there are many reviewers on this site who are qualified editors and can assist you. Good luck!

Overall Impression: Your poem gives us some insight into this character's feelings. It seems as though he is insecure inside even though others might see him differently. It makes one think that he is torn between the insecurities and the outward appearance. The free-verse piece flows good! Thanks for sharing!

Suggestions: None. I did not notice any spelling errors, nor errors of any kind, for that matter.

Overall Impression: I enjoyed your poem! It reads more like lyrics than a poem, and I found myself singing it in my head as I read along. The flow is smooth! The images you paint with your words are vivid! I think you did a great job! The content is a little sad as it tells the tale of a man in his last stage of life, but it must have been a lively life. He certainly lived!

Suggestions: None. I did not notice any spelling errors, nor errors of any kind, for that matter.

Overall Impression: You are so right, our psyches are fragile. We think and feel and desire and dream and at times it may become difficult to distinguish what is imagined and what is real. Your poem is strong in imagery. It paints a picture of someone who was once in love and although that love is now gone finds it difficult to hold on to the memories.

Suggestions: None.

Dear Ida_Matilda_Wright,
** Image ID #1528250 Unavailable **

As before, I found your poem on the "Random Review" section of WDC. I have reviewed it for the Simply Positive Group. Please remember that I am not an expert in reviewing. I can only express my humble opinion of what I have read, and offer any suggestions that I think might serve to improve it.

Overall Impression: Young love! So passionate and emotional! You describe some of those feelings well. I thought your word choice was good, and the flow of your poem was smooth.

Suggestions/Errors: I think you might have a "typo" in line 2 of the 4th verse. You wrote "Hoping my sisters hadn't over heart what I had said..." I think you might have meant to write "Hoping my sisters hadn't overheard what I had said..." (This is only a suggestion.)


Please continue to "write on".
