My impressions of the poem: Journey Beyond the Horizon

Clarity: This title fits the poem well.
Style: romance love and lost love

My 2 cents is only one opinion: this poem has a nice flow. I guess it is human nature, however it is amazing how much time humans can dwell on romance and lost love. In this line--But fate intervened, you finally left-- it sounds like the author was ready for them to finally leave. Thank you for sharing this it was a good read I enjoyed it.

My impressions of the poem: Much of Muchness

Clarity: the title fits this poem well
Style: political greed human nature

My 2 cents is only one opinion: Awesome poem. So true. This poem has a great flow,
I like the way you used the font color. In today's new two class society I cannot understand
why some people think they need so much money. As your poem says they could really make a difference
in so many lives and the world without even noticing a dent in their wealth.

style: read similar to a breakup tune

clarity: The title match's the poem.
style: A short romance poem.
originality: original and short.


Joe's 2 cents is only one opinion: a very short poem doesn't really have enough to get the point across.

My Impressions of: To Paint or Not to Paint

clarity: reads as the title suggest.
style: realistic dialogue between two friends painting.
originality: Typical conversation between friends while their wives are shopping.


Joe's 2 cents is only one opinion: A realistic story with strong characters and realistic dialogue.
I can relate to this story, George is trying to get in a few brownie points first and then watch the
football game. George is trying to get a little work out of his friend Hal, before letting him drink
all his beer. George is probably not as hardcore about football fan as Hal.

Suggestions: The mispronunciation and misspelling of words is really not needed for this story.

My impressions of: High Tea with Mommy

I like...
clarity: the title fits well with this story
style: First person. Reads' like true life experience adventure.
originality: Nice idea for a story. Well written and humorous.

Good story about raising a young daughter, obstacles you may encounter.

My favorite line: She’s very independent; that’s a good trait. Right?

Joe's 2 cents: This is only one opinion: Well written story. Very realistic I feel this is a true story.
Realistic idea that the younger sister would want to look like her older twin brothers. I like that
Samantha cutting her hair was no big deal to the author and they still had high tea. I feel sure most
readers can relate to this story.
Keep writing! Write on! God Bless!

My Impressions of: Git Along, Little Kayak

A nicely written poem about paddling in a kayak.
Set to the tune of Get along little doogies
The title fits the poem well.

My favorite lines:-Stay clear of the rocks.-

This is only one opinion: A good idea to set the poem to the tune of "Get along little doogies."
The poem describes well kayaking down the river. I paddle in a canoe and can relate to -one with the river- that is nature at its finest. There is nothing like it.
Great work.

My Impressions of: Get Rhythm Shoe Shine Boy

A nicely written short story for a contest entry.
I think Johnny Cash would approve.

My favorite line: His eyes ached and his temple pinched, but worst of all, inspiration evaded him.

This is only one opinion: For contest entries it is hard to meet the word count requirements
And still convey our thoughts. In the story you have done that well. Especially in my favorite line you conveyed A nice portrait for the reader, a good use of words to paint the description. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed reading it.

My Impressions of: How it feels to be Guilty

A short story about personal feelings of guilt.
Reads as the title suggests.

This is only one opinion: Nicely written story conveys to the reader your feelings well.
Not an easy task to convey your feelings on paper, well done.I feel sure the satisfaction your grandparents got from the vacation outweighed the cost. For your boyfriend it was better to break up than to string him along when you knew he's not the one. Guilt is a hard to control emotion, leave the guilt in this nicely written story. Continue your life guilt free. Keep writing.

My Impressions of: Heart

A romance poem.
Written as the title suggests.

This is only one opinion: War and love are a bit similar. What this poem says to me, young love and hunting for your soulmate which seems elusive until you find them. That hunt at times can take awhile and can seem an impossible task. When you find it the reward outweighs the task.
Well this is a strong poem to get me to philosophy.

My Impressions of: Our own Destiny

A story about kids at school with a overbearing teacher that gives them a hard time so then that's their parents who are retired teachers to help them start study groups.
Reads as title suggest
A realistic idea for this story.

This is only one opinion: Well written, good narrative, strong characters, good dialogue. I'm glad they got rid of old Brenda Sappington, serves her right. I really like the idea and phrase as Lexi and Greg said “make your own way.” Reads like a true story, could be, I would hope there's no teachers out there like that but I do remember a few that were close. Well written held this reader's attention well from start to finish. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed reading it.
