I love happy endings. It's so nice to hear when good things happen to good people. You have shared with us a wonderful part of your life and one that is very personal.

I understand your reason behind changing the names to protect one's privacy, however, I feel that if you personalized the story by saying my husband and I adopted Sassy for instance; it would allow the reader a better connection with you. Reading it in its current form doesn't give it or you the recognition you deserve.

In closing, I will say that this story is free from errors.

Reflecting on one's past isn't an easy thing to do, especially when things from the past still haunt you in the present. If this story is written from a real life experience you certainly poured out your heart and soul. This is a very deeply moving piece.

Your overall story composition is great. There were no speliing errors and the grammar and punctuation are flawless. Thanks for sharing.

You have a wonderful writing style that is greatly emphasized in this story. As I read this piece, I wondered if anyone ever felt that way about me...sigh

Your descriptive wording truly makes this piece stand out and gives the reader plenty to focus on. If I were to use one word to describe this story it would have to be...breathtaking.

In closing, I must mention that there were no errors found in this story.

It is clear, from this poem, that you care for your friend very much. I do feel however, that this poem need a bit of work.

The overall flow is 'bumpy'. Take a look at your syllable count in each line. Try and even it out to create a smoother flow. There a few lines that don't sound right as well.

This one: To her, I wish to be safe. I don't fully understand what you mean here.

This one: I sill stand the storm. I am thinking that the 'sill' should be 'still' or 'shall'.

Give the poem a once over and with some minor editing I think this could shine. Good Luck!

I did enjoy the humor of this poem but I could also feel the sadness surrounding this poor forgotten woman. I like the form in which you have written this piece. It flows well and has a great rhyme scheme. The imagery in this poem allowed me to see what life is like for the "Derelict Debutant." You have done a great job with this poem and I must mention that there were no errors found.

This is a beautiful poem that shines with pride of one's heritage. The structure of this piece is strong, the imagery is great and the meter is admirable. I liked the way you described your grandfather. I could feel the love and respect you have for him through your words. Great write my friend.

This is really good. Just as I was getting reading to see the Dr exact her revenge... I won't ruin it for everyone else! *Laugh* they will just have to read it.

I didn't find any major issues with this story. The main body of this piece could be brought together a bit more. You should combine some of the sentences that contain similar topic info to give the story a more solid body.

The spelling is flawless, there were no punctuation errors and the grammar is fine. Nice work my friend!

I am writing this review with my arms full of goosebumps and the little hairs on the back of my neck all standing at attention. WHAT AN AWESOME STORY!!!! I can't praise it enough. Right from the very first paragraph you had me and I knew this was going to be a sensational read. This story is PERFECT!!! What else can I say...

This story rocks!!! *Thumbsup* The way you brought everyone together and made the "Connections" is astounding! I loved it! I just wish it wouldn't have ended like it did but then again it leaves the reader to be able to predict what the dinner would have been like. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one. *Laugh*

Looking at this story from a technical standpoint, I would have to say that you have done very well with it. It follows all of the guidelines for good story composition. Great work! There are also no errors. Thanks for sharing it.

Write on!

This story really got me thinking. As surreal as it is, I actually believe something like this could happen. So much emphasis is placed on being "perfect" that it's scary how many young people are having surgeries to change their appearance. For us to believe that we can 'manufacture' perfect human beings before they are even born is even scarier.

Your story from a technical standpoint is flawless. There were no errors found in spelling, grammar or punctuation. Great writing my friend!

I chuckled when I saw the title of this story thinking to myself that it couldn't possibly be about Bacon. I thought it was the name of a character. Much to my dismay, it was bacon, the meat. I am sorry to say I didn't personally find this story funny. That's not to say others won't.

I will tell you that your story has good composition. There are no spelling errors and the grammar and punctuation are fine. Write on!

While I dry the stream of tears rolling down my cheeks I will tell you how much I truly enjoyed this story. It takes great deal of pure, raw emotions to get me to this state and this story has it all. I knew from the start this was going to be something I would never forget.

There isn't one piece of this story that is less than perfect. I can't say enough about it. You are a remarkable writer my friend. Please don't ever stop.

What an awesome read! You have a wonderful talent for story writing. The composition of this piece is fantastic. Starting in the first paragraph, you capture the readers interest with a woman who is freezing and close to death in frigid waters. As the reader moves on, the story unfolds and pulls you in ever father. By this point there is no turning back. You give enough detail about what might happen next that the reader is forced to move on. Awesome work!!!

The end of this brilliant story is one that was not expected by this reader. It stopped me cold and my jaw dropped. Way to go!

As I read this story I paid close attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation. I am happy to tell you that I only found two errors. The second paragraph, the word 'World' does not need to be capitalized.

And in this line: Where the hell am I? she thought, and then, the voices.

You need quotation marks around "Where the hell am I?".

In closing this is one of the best pieces I have read in a very long time. Wonderful writing my friend.

I enjoyed this fast paced tale of the Blackpool girls. They really seem to know how to party.

Looking at this story as a whole, I felt that you have the basics down for composition. The story starts out well and leads the reader into the meat of it. You have a good amount of description in the main body to keep the reader interested. Although you don't go into great detail about your characters, I did feel you put enough life into them for the story to be enjoyable.

If we take a look at some technical aspects of this composition, I have some concerns with spelling. I have listed the words that are of concern. I realize that in different parts of the world some words do have alternate spellings.

hummanity - humanity
tyre - tire
illeagal - illegal
reident - I think this is supposed to be resident?
deminished - diminished
yellped - yelped
lke - like?

In closing I will say that there were no errors in punctuation and that the overall story was quite good. Write on!

This is a fairly unique poem that allows the reader to interpret what the writer saw in that momentary glance. I am still a bit baffled by the line "because I didn't know the must." I am not sure exactly what it means. Overall, I feel that this poem has good form and meter. There were no spelling errors and the grammar and punctuation are error free as well. Nice write.

This is quite a deep and insightful poem. To imagine what it would be like inside of one's mind is a very interesting concept. I don't think I would want to see mine. I enjoyed reading this piece.

I don't see any issues with the form or meter but there should be more punctuation. Mostly commas and periods. I didn't see and spelling or grammatical errors. Nice write my friend.

Review of The Darkest Eve  
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
Hello,

#1203119 by Not Available.


Overall Impression:
This poem is, in my opinion, a bit perplexing. I am not sure if "Eve" is a woman or a time of day. I read the poem a few times and I felt that it could be both so I am not sure of how I truly feel about this piece.

Form & Meter:
I don't see any issues with the form of this poem and the meter is fine as well.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
I didn't see any errors in this poem per say, however I will mention the lower case "i's". I personally don't feel that using them adds any particular emphasis to this poem. When I see them being used I have the impression that the writer just couldn't be bothered to hit the shift key. It makes things look sloppy and unfinished.

Also, in this line: those promised whispered you have filled
I am thinking 'promised' should be 'promises".

Closing Comments:
I hope you don't find this review too critical. That certainly wasn't my intention. Thanks for entering the contest.

I am fascinated by the way you brought this poem together. It didn't seem as if any of the things you mention would fit together but they do and that is amazing. You have an admirable gift.

Form & Meter:
I felt that the form of this poem worked well with the content of the poem. The overall flow of this piece is wonderful.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:The grammar and punctuation are fine, however, I did find one spelling error: "thier" should be "their".

Closing Comments:
You are a wonderful poet and I look forward to reading more of your work.

Ouch! I have to say that I could feel your anger and contempt oozing out of this poem in droves. I can also say I don't disagree with you one bit. You raise many good points with this piece that some may call controversial. It takes someone with a great deal of self confidence to openly express their feelings like you have here.

Looking at your poem from a technical standpoint, I will say that it contains a wide variety of imagery for the reader. The form is standard, the meter good and it is free of errors.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Overall Impression:
I agree that you need a good sense of humor to appreciate this poem. I loved it! I think you have got what being a 'bride' is all about.

Form, Rhyme, Meter:
I didn't see any problems with the form or the rhyme pattern in this piece. The meter however, starts to lose its grace in the 5th stanza. Take a look at the syllable count, it might help to even out the meter.

Spelling, Grammar & Punctuation:
No errors were found.

I like the feelings you express for the subject of this poem. However, it would be nice for the reader to know why they can't have the person they desire. I think it would add to the overall effect of the poem.

On a happier note, I can honestly say I can relate on a personal level to this poem. *Blush* It is well written has good form and meter and there are no errors.

Write on!
