I can easily relate to this poem and the beast within. You have given the reader just enough to allow them to get a picture of this beast; or is it their own they are seeing.

The overall composition of this poem is very neat and clean in appearance. There were no errors detected and the flow of this piece is great. Nice writing my friend.

Review of Secret Pal cNotes  
Rated: E | (5.0)
I am tickled pink by this adorable set of cNotes. The clip art you used is some of the best I have ever seen. I would also like to thank you for including the link for the clip art. It's nice to know where it comes from and that is wasn't stolen. The fact that you purchased the images to make these notes makes them extra special in my book.

Thank you for making WDC a brighter more colorful place.

You have a very tasteful and well decorated contest here. I am so glad I happened upon it. The time you have taken to make this forum look the way it does clearly shows. The opening image is stunning!

Looking at the overall layout of the rules and regulations; they are listed in a comprehensive manner which is easy to understand. The links provided are always helpful to those who don't know exactly what bitem is. I would also like to let you know that I didn't find any errors.

I wish you all the best with your contest.

I have looked at this contest several times before but I am not sure why I didn't review it. So, I am going to do that now.

I have noticed a trend since a while for "dark" writing. It seems to be a very popular genre. I suppose all of us some 'darkness' within that is looking for an escape. I know I do!

I like the colorful layout of this contest and the image you chose as the head title. I did notice a few errors in the descriptions and rules you have here. Mostly they are spots where you forgot to hit the 'space bar'. For example:

goes bump.Hehe! I Here after bump

NEWAll entries Here after NEW

Note!All winning Here after Note!

There are a few more but I think you should be able to find them.

I wish you all the best with this contest.

This is a handsomely decorated multi-purpose forum where members can enter a contest or just share stories and memories with others. By the looks of the entries, it is also extremely successful. Personally I feel some of the images are too big and overpower the page. Since you have a contest here I feel the main focus should be on the contest info but that is just personal preference.

From what I can see you have paid close attention to detail as there were no errors found. Thank you for honoring our veterans.

What a neat idea for a contest! It is certainly original and it seems like it would be a lot of fun. The best part about it is that it challenges the participants to use their creative writing abilities.

The rules are set out in an orderly fashion and are clear cut and easy to understand. The colors add and aesthetically pleasing look to the overall contest. I did find one error on the page and that is in the spelling of 'squirrel'. You have an extra 'l' on the end.

Good luck with your contest!

You have an attractive collection of cNotes here in this romantic set. The images are perfectly matched with the sentiment. I love the way you left so much to the imagination with several of the notes here. The ones with the feathers and strawberry are my personal favorites.

I appreciate the time you took to create these cNotes for our community. Thanks!

I simply adore this set of cNotes. The captions you have included with them are priceless. I can hardly stop laughing; especially at the missed period one! *Laugh* I know I will be back for sure to send that one. These are a sure fire way to get a point across.

Thanks for taking the time to make them for those of us you can't think of the right things to say.

In this fast paced poem of a tormented teen I felt myself holding my breath as I read it. It all seemed so real. As if it were happening right before me. Even though parts of the poem have broken dialog it all flows together uniformly. The punctuation is all correct and there are no spelling errors. Nice work!

Review of Nameless

Hello,

Overall Impression:
This is a deeply profound poem. I originally thought that "Nameless" meant that you hadn't thought of a name for the poem yet. I see now that I was wrong.

Form & Meter:
I would like to see the form of this poem with a bit more structured. I don't think the brackets are necessary in this poem either. I realize you want to place special emphasis on them but I feel there is another way of doing this. You could highlight them with italics and make the font a light grey shade for instance. Like this:

Nameless though you are

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
There were no errors found in any of these areas.

Closing Comments:
I am always here if you have any questions. Please feel free to email me. Thanks for entering the contest.

Review of Calling Me Home

This poem is simply beautiful. It has a sense of comfort to it and it wrapped me up in a soft warm blanky. I love the colors you chose to highlight this poem.

The flow of this poem is seamless and there are no errors. I have one suggestion though. In the last stanza you have:

a lone voice calls...
calling me home


Instead of repeating the word 'call' might I suggest the word 'beckons' for the first line so it would read:

a lone voice beckons...
calling me home.


Other than that I think you have a wonderful poem here.

This poem is without a doubt one of the best I have ever read. It gave me goosebumps and such a vivid image of this mystical land. I am truly amazed by and in awe of your talent. I am giving you 5 stars because that is the highest I can go otherwise I would give you much much more.

Technically, you followed the pattern for this particular style sonnet perfectly and there are no errors. I have NO doubt in my mind whatsoever, that some day you WILL be published!!!

Sometimes is doesn't take a lot of words to make a poem great. You have taken an object, something as simple as a snowflake, and made it seem magical. Most things are when seen through a child's eye.

Your poem is eloquent, yet simple and truly beautiful. The color adds an esthetically pleasing emphasis for the reader. The meter is spot on and there are no errors.

Thank you for your entry in my contest.

This is an absolutely wonderful poem! You ask some very poignant questions and they are answered with logical responses. There is such deep meaning in your words that I was truly moved by them. If I am right, I believe that the Golden Glow is that of our heavenly father. The power he wields is phenominal.

The poem flows beautifully, there are no issues with the form and I didn't find any errors. Thank you for allowing me the priviledge of reading your work.

Review of Let it Go

This is actually quite good and as I read it, I kept the Beetle's song in mind. If fits well with the lyrics. I applaud your efforts because I can't imagine this was easy to do.

Overall, your poem has good form, even meter and there were no errors. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Review of Reflection  
Rated: E | (3.0)
I would certainly agree that this is a dark and emotional poem. Despite the fact that it is very difficult to read; it is written well. I could feel the rage and torment this character experiences. Your words are very moving.

As far as the form goes, in my opinion it needs work. The large, capitalized font and the blockiness of this piece is taking away from the poem's character. These really aren't needed to make a statement. I would choose a form that allows you to make this poem look pleasing to the reader without losing its integrity. Good luck.

This is a sweet story of young love. I feel you have the basic requirements for short story writing, however, you have a great deal of errors regarding punctuation. This can be easily fixed up by running this story through any word processing program.

Secondly, whenever you have dialog in a story, each sentence should be on a line of its own. This helps the reader distinguish who is speaking. You should also look at the body of this piece. There should be breaks between the paragraphs so it doesn't look blocky.

I also noticed a spelling error in your Author's Note. "wroten" should be "written"

I hope my suggestions will be helpful to you.

Review of She Waits  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
I know exaclty where feelings like this come from so I was able to see the pain beyond the words. This poem is very deep and dark but it shows us fragile we can be. You have expressed your thoughts well.

The form of this piece works well and the meter great. I didn't find any errors but I would recommend using punctuation where it is required. Thank you for bringing this great poem and yourself to WDC!

"The Garden of Wendy the Witch

I absolutely loved this adoring tale of the ghost rabbit. It is told in such a way that children of all ages would find it appealing. There were no errors found anywhere throughout this story but I would recommend separating the first part of the story into more manageable paragraphs.

As it is now, the entire story looks like one big block. You have the basic concept down because you have the indents already in position. All you have you have to do is allow one space between each new paragraph.

Even though this poem is short, is says so much. The last two lines are my favorite. I found it very easy to visualize the moonlight on the water and a variety of different images that could either be pretty or ugly. This doesn't happen often when there isn't a great deal of descriptive wording used. I would like to see how you could expand on this to make it even better.

I would suggest using punctuation where it is needed as well. Overall though you have a great poem with solid meter. Thanks for sharing.

When I started reading this story I was trying to figure out what type of creatures were in the competition. I had an idea in the back of my mind and low and behold I was right! I laughed myself out of my chair when I found this out.

You did a remarkable job with this story. Right from the beginning I was drawn in and you hint just enough along the way about the creatures to keep the reader interested. The story follows all of the proper guidelines and it is error free. Thanks for entering the challenge. You might also want to check out my Short Story Contest.

We all have questions about what the future holds and our destiny but I often wonder if there is any way of ever finding out.

Your poem leads us to believe that the answers are within ourselves and we need to reach deep to find them. Can this be true? Will we ever know?

I think that the overall message of this poem stands out, however, I do feel the poem needs some editing. There are no errors but the meter is bumpy. Try evening it out by counting the syllables in each line. I hope that helps.

Wouldn't life be grand if love was all it took for the world to finally live in peace. You poem brings out a deep yearning within us to make things better so we can have the world we dream about.

The form of your poem is fine and it flows well. I am a bit confused by these two lines:

But stray ye off that wonderous path
Ye slightly tip the scales


I would expect to find out what would come if one did stray off the path. I found one error in the spelling of "wonderous." It should be "wondrous" and I'd suggest using punctuation where it is needed.
