It conveys a timeless important message,
one that is particularly uplifting and
beautiful.

Review of Music and Writing  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
Fun to see what other writers do.
I listen to music when I need a boost. Some
nights or mornings, depending on how
fired up and ready to write I am, I prefer
having a quiet room. But in general, there is no
rhyme or reason as to when I turn
on my CD player. Good luck with the
poll. Gabriella

Review of Back Once Again  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
A lovely poem.
Think if these suggestions are helpful.
we're our own best critics and we have pride
in our work, so you'll decide if any of this
is helpful.
In the line--"your glistening eyes, I keep on
seeing it"..you talk about his eyes, then you
talk about seeing it, eyes are plural.
"I'm back to where my heart was beating fast"
I think you mean you're back to where your
heart IS beating fast..? aren't you ?
You leaped from saying he never responded
to your "I love you" to his comforting you
when you wept. I wondered how that happened.
What happened, he got married ?
And, what brought the feelings flooding back ?
You saw him somewhere ?

These are just thoughts-suggestions. Not to be
used if you don't think they are helpful.
Warmest best, Gabriella

Review of Why  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.0)
I like your message, it's very compelling.
The poem reminds us all just
a tiny bit of what those prisoners
must have felt. The images and pain
are still with us all.
Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
We're lucky indeed that writers like you write
about social injustices and work to
memorialize shattering events like this.
Bravo !
I hope it's lovely where you are today.
Here, outside Philadelphia, it's warm and
sunny. Spring is on the way :)

Review of In My Mind  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
A wonderful poem. What is the answer to
the question--how's everything gonna get
better ? Did you mention the hiding place
in your mind because you run there when
things feel stuck and impossible ?
Could you say something that would help to
take the reader from your hopeless situation
to the hiding place in your mind ?
Whatever you decide is good. I loved having
the chance to read it. Gabriella

Review of Clean Sheets  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
A wonderful story, Elyse. Thanks so much
for sharing it. You've got a real ability
to step out of yourself to write what
your readers will enjoy. The story was fun to read
from start to finish. All of us have a very friend
like that at some point in life's journey. I'm much older than you. My friendship with my two best friends
developed in the 4th and 5th grades. Viv and Joanne
are still my best buddies. I'm married with
a grown daughter and three adorable grandchildren,
all girls. I've had dinner out with my best friends
once a month every year for a very long time.
We still laugh at stupid things and act like looney tunes even as grown women. We
don't miss out on chances to laugh alot
and we wouldn't miss out on a chance to
run to help if something comes up and
friends are needed. My two friends were my
salvation when I divorced. Each of us has
had a moment when the other two friends were
needed and turned up without hesitation.
Now that I'm happy with a great guy
and life is good for all of us, we celebrate
our good fortune. You're right about your
friendship. Old friends are like gold. Way
too precious to ever risk losing. Hope all
goes well and especially that you'll keep
right on writing no matter what else comes
up in your busy life :) All the best, Gabriella

Review of The Whisper  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
It's easy to see you had a wonderful experience.
One small thing: in the paragraph where you
describe loving a long car ride, you shift from
talking about her in the third person, to talking
about "you" as though you're addressing her
directly. A small inconsistency but one to fix.
This was obviously a momentous experience for you.
A friend told me I tend to breeze through
writing about emotional moments, suggesting that
I put too much effort into finding adjectives to describe my surroundings while I should be putting more effort into capturing the real experience--what I'm
actually feeling--using all of my senses.
I don't know if you think it
might be helpful and applicable advice for you
too. Just something to think about.
Thanks so much for sharing your work. I enjoyed
the chance to read this piece. Keep on writing.

Review of Under The Tree  Open in new Window.
Review by GabriellaR45 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
I have a friend who couldn't seem to
find a small comfortable spot for himself
in the world and enjoy some peace.
He has struggled with depression,
insecurities and he's lived so many years
buffered by drink and drugs, he's almost
lost the ability to do anything but wheel and
deal. People mean nothing to him unless
they have something to give. I stuck with him
for a long time till I couldn't do it anymore.
I hope he's found his way to sobriety and
peace. You have a special insight. The subject
in your poem is both commpelling and sad. A well written and very profound piece. G.

Review of Arizona Pines  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
A wonderful example of well written Haiku.
I read an instructional piece about Haiku here and as a
result, spend my morning walks creating
Haiku in my head. I haven't come up with anything
as nice or thoughtful as yours.
I'm impressed. I thought it would be easy to make
Haiku, in truth to make good Haiku is tougher
than I imagined, which makes your piece even
more impressive. Warmest best, Gabriella

I hope you get to your goal. Self confidence is critical, especially at your age. I hope you exercise and do things to keep yourself healthy. I went to a nutritionist. It turned out to be a better choice than dieting. She helped me choose things to eat that I like but don't put weight on, and of course I straightened out my eating habits. I discovered the term "nervous eating", which I do when things are stressful or I'm working too hard. I drink lots of water and walk everyday. Nothing dramatic but I'm looking and feeling better and I've lost weight :)) Good luck to you, Gabriella
