This story is surprising to say the least. I thought your (characters)experience was interesting and the endingwas perfect. There are several typographical errors that you might consider correcting, all in all, entertaining.

I absolutely loved Michael Landon, he felt like a member of my family. I cried when he passed on. I liked this piece.

Mary,
That was very touching. I can not even begin to imagine how hard her disappearance has been for you. This piece was well written and well received.

Wow. That was a true picture painting! I find this very rare when I read poetry anymore. I thought was a very good piece.

Good so far. You have a typo. I wouldn't mind reading the rest once you have it completed.

Review of TOO COCKY BY HALF  Open in new Window.
Review by morelin Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Very funny. I know how it is to be a mover. I think this house is the first we've lived in this long (going on four years). We don't have a cocky, but we sure have pets. We once moved to Florida and used a moving van to do it with. I put my cats in the back and one of them literally sweated the entire trip.

I gave you a 5.0 because I enjoyed your story so much, but you do have a typo. One of your commas is sitting by itself.

<reverberated off the corrugations , doubling >

Anyway, I enjoyed your short.

I liked your poem. I love both opening lines:

My sweet little angel cuddled closely against me

A man may have a castle built from hard clay and stone

These openers paint a vivid picture for me and I find that I can agree with your views.

The reason I gave you a 4.5 is (and I'm not an expert on poetry, so please take this with a grain of salt)you repeat the word "closely" in the same sentence and because the the closing sentence in the first paragraph seems...well I don't know. Consider taking out the word "all" from:

Without it I'd feel all emotionally

You don't need it.

Anyway, I enjoyed your poem.

Review of In my mind  Open in new Window.

Your piece was easy to identify with. I had similar ideas the other day. What is curling within us? Is it so ugly that those looking at us would shy away? Or is it just what we think of ourselves? I think there are probably a lot of us who can't wait to get home and be connected.

Very nice writing!

Review of You are You  Open in new Window.
Review by morelin Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
This was very funny. I loved the two yous and the battle within was great. It might've been fun to watch the two yous come out on stage instead of the "me". The two yous were funny and a mirror of what most of us feel when we have to get up and speak in front of others. In fact, I have two yous coming out tonight as I have to give a presentation in front of my peers. I'll skip the weed though, since I believe I would want to hide instead.

P.S. Flip sent me.

Review of Joshua  Open in new Window.
Review by morelin Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
I loved this. I remember sending my daughters off to their very first day of school. I have to say that I have never enjoyed poetry, but I am beginning to like it.

You have a few typo's I thought you'd be interested in:

>Reading and writing are so much fun<

Consider replacing the word "are" with "is"

>A hockey player who wins a Stanley cup<

You should capitalize the "c" in cup. And I think it's "the Stanley Cup" I'm not sure, but I think it is.

Well done!

I enjoyed this piece. It was lovely. There is a portion here that has a time shift that confuses the story.

This was very unique. I enjoyed it, though I was not able to visualize what your story. I knew what you were talking about and your words were very sexy, but there was such minute detail. Nevermind, I did enjoy the piece. It was quite different from anything else I've read. Good Job.

This was an interesting character sketch. I have never seen anyone do it this way. I usually go through the whole process of birthdates, occupations, etc. I like it. I would be interested to see where you take this.

Review of I knew he did it.  Open in new Window.
Review by morelin Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (2.5)
This was a good short. There is a lot of emotion and movement that promptly pulls the reader in. Unfortunately, there are several typing errors and misspelled words that it makes the short difficult to read and understand completely.

I would be happy to help you any time. I can run your short through a spell checker or even give you a line-by-line edit if you would like.

Again, this was a good story. Thanks for posting.

That was wild stuff. And I believe it too. Did you continue to play with that board or did you allow the future to unfold without your fore-knowledge? At first I thought you were going to say that your men lost. I bet they really were stunned. Lucky for them they played the best they could instead of allowing that board control their actions.
I had a similar experience as a teenager and before that my mother always played that with Scrabble pieces and a drinking glass. It's spooky.
