Review of Journal 2 - 12/10/2025

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP

Rated: 13+

| (5.0)

Hi Kay Carter

My name is Ken, and I spun the cylinder of the Read & Review revolver... and this ended up in the chamber. I usually just hit the button again when it lands on blogs, but yours captured my attention. It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Journal 2 - 12/10/2025"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
A childhood vignette that recounts a time in your life that no child should ever have to go through. The only positive is that you're here and survived that time. Perhaps, on some level, recounting those times will unburden you and allow you some healing.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

Assuming this is real - and I have no reason to doubt - this was a very disturbing read. I hope that with time and other experiences, you will find peace. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Writing is about communication and this is what I saw in your work and is provided solely for your use. It's offered in a spirit of wanting to give you honest feedback... nothing more.

Review of Nights On Repeat

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP

Rated: E

| (5.0)

Hi Amare Jane

My name is Ken. As I wandered through the Read and Review forum, I stumbled upon this. It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Nights On Repeat"

.

✨ First Impression/Thoughts:
A moving homage to the too many forgotten that live in the shadows.

✨ Creativity/Impact:
I can tell by the words and emotions you've woven together that this is more than just an entry. It is a testament of your love and caring for your fellow human beings. That makes it unique to you, and you can't be more creative than that!

✨ Technique/Technical Notes:
I offer you the following as food for thought and not as a criticism. You are the writer and this is your work, not mine. The most I can do is tell you what I saw and felt as I wandered through your words 😁.

🔹 Title - "Nights On Repeat." A tantalizing title. 😄 If this doesn't get the reader's attention, then I don't know what will. The "teaser" line (a.k.a. description) offers you an opportunity to add some clarification and can also be a great tool to attract more readers. I appreciate that you added a few words, but I think it needs more about its meaning to amplify and set up the scenario for your poem.

🔹 Grammar/Wording - Great word choice! Your descriptive words to build images in the reader's mind. I saw nothing in error. You used language to show your feelings and each word seemed well chosen to paint the story of your poem.

🔹 Form/Flow - This was written in free verse. Free verse is considered an open form of poetry, as opposed to poetry written in structure or form, and tends to follow natural speech patterns and rhythms, but not at the expense of poetic lines and poetic imagery that distinguish it from prose. I could see the poetry and - more importantly - feel the emotion in this.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:
A very moving read. I personally found it touching and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Writing is about communication, and this is what I saw in your work and is provided solely for your use. It's offered in a spirit of wanting to give you honest feedback... nothing more.

Keep writing! Wishing you all the best,

Review of Relativity

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP

Rated: E

| (4.5)

Hi Mouser

My name is Ken, and I spun the cylinder of the Read & Review revolver... and this popped into the chamber (relatively speaking).

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Relativity"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
I can tell by the words and emotions you've woven together that this is more than just an entry. While similar words have been spoken, these come from your heart and that makes it unique to you.

This was written in free verse. Free verse is a type of poetry that does not contain patterns of rhyme or meter. Free verse is considered an open form of poetry, as opposed to poetry written in structure or form, and tends to follow natural speech patterns and rhythms. However, free verse generally contains poetic lines and poetic imagery that distinguish it from prose. I felt that this was missing the flow that poetry has and felt it was very prose-like. That said, Robert Frost once said, "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." I could see the poetry and - more importantly - feel the emotion in this.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A clear testament of your beliefs and a good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Night Drive

| (4.5)

Hi Emberly Gray

My name is Ken, and I rolled the windows down on the Read & Review roadster... and this blew in.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Night Drive"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Been there, done that. I used to drive the California coast in my youth. Of course, the "oldies" were new then.

You've used descriptive words to build images in the reader's mind. I saw nothing in error. You used language to show your feelings and each word seemed well chosen to paint the story of your poem. Your rhymes were good and the meter pretty consistent until the end. Since it was the closing verse, it didn't interfere with the reading. Overall, great job!

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A fun read that will register with most readers. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi The StoryMistress

It's me, Ken, and imagine my surprise when I spun the cylinders on the Read & Review revolver... and this popped into the chamber!

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Writing.Com Party Central 2025!"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
🤣 🤣 🤣 Being old, I appreciated that this brought back memories that I still have! 🤣 Well organized, clear in purpose, but busy, busy, busy. Your skill in layout and use of headers to direct members to the multitude of activities made this easy to navigate. Like most of your offerings, this was clean, professional, and loaded with fun.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

Thank you for a wonderful celebration and for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Footprints

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hi Jo Paynter Creates

My name is Ken, and I walked down the Read & Review path this morning and found these footprints.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Footprints"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Nicely written detail. Great word choice! You used descriptive words to build images in the reader's mind. I saw nothing in error. You used language to show your feelings and each word seemed well chosen to paint the story of your poem.

My one suggestion is to resolve the apparent conflict between verse 2, which appears to suggest that your footprints are concealed/removed, and the final verse which tells us to leave our mark. I think if verse 2 was expanded to say the footprints are hidden but remain you will have achieved your goal.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A deceptively simple approach with a strong message. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi Sumojo

It's me, Ken, and I took the free offer to Read & Review... and this was my prize.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Free"

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Short, sweet, and rhymed! My kind of poetry.

They say nothing in life is free. The enjoyment of reading this was. Not much more I can say.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A very clever write and good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi Adherennium

It's me, Ken, and as I undulated through the Read & Review kelp bed, this popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Seaweed"

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Your luminous, lilting poem weaves a serene, dreamlike music that moves the soul. Yeah, I liked it.

Your radiant cadence shapes a graceful, wavering wave of language that stays and sways in the mind. You done good.

Hi Tim Chiu

It's me, Ken. It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "God’s Love: Sweet Serenity"

.

✨ First Impression/Thoughts:
A strong statement of your belief and the promises they stand for.

✨ Creativity/Impact:
I can tell by the words and emotions you've woven together that this is more than just an entry. It is a testimonial of your beliefs and love for your chosen God. While similar words have been spoken, these come from your heart and that makes it unique to you. You can't be more creative than that!

Review of An Extraordinary Dinner

Hi Charlie

My name is Ken, and the Read & Review forum suggested I join you for dinner.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "An Extraordinary Dinner"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
OK. Not too bad. A small hiccup in the meter but easily overlooked. What's missing is context. The who, what, where kind of detail that would allow the reader to see or feel the humor in this.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A clever approach but a bit too generic to find the humor. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Whispering Cipher

Hi Lonewolf

It's me, Ken, and I tempted fate and hit the Read & Review link... and this mysteriously popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Whispering Cipher"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Now, to be fair, I did Google your opening phrase to see there was something out there I was ignorant of... and your poem showed up.

I suspect the answer resides in you and will remain a mystery to the rest of us. Nice illustrative phrases set the mood for this enigmatic tale. It plays at the edges of understanding. It flows well and is generally an easy read. I think your poem was a success in creating "a thing that sounds most like a secret code but isn’t."

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

Mysterious and tantalizing. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Page Turner

Hi Jimminycritic

It's me, Ken, and I spun the cylinder of the Read & Review revolver... and this went pop.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Page Turner"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
You made me dizzy. 🤣 I appreciate formatting but couldn't quite link it to the words or theme of your creation. For me, it kind of threw the poem off balance. I suspect knowing the contest and its requirements would have provided some context. What I got was reading a book, most likely a war story, and your reactions to it.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A very clever, confusing approach but I love a challenge

Review of The 22nd Hour

Hi AmyJo-Where did 2025 go???

It's me, Ken, and I sampled the WDC smorgasbord (aka Read & Review)... and this tasty treat popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "The 22nd Hour"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Based on the prompt, this was a success. Based on a relationship, not so much.

I think most readers will identify with this. No one likes to be taken for granted and yet we experience this every day. I appreciate that this was a rhymed poem. It kept an even pace and led me through your thoughts and emotions. I think the meter of the closing lines could be tightened. I understand the need to highlight the 22nd hour, but it felt like almost an afterthought. Nicely done overall.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi Ella

My name is Ken, and I clicked on the Read & Review forum... and this popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Hopeless"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
I feel that you wrote this more as therapy and less as an exploration of emotions. If you were looking to share the emotion, you did a great job. I'm an optimist and even I was feeling depressed by the last verse.

It reminds me of an old saying: "Men marry women thinking they won't change - but they do. Women marry men thinking they will change - but they don't." I think the "miracle" you're looking for lies within you.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A great statement of the problem but you need to point to a solution to make this complete. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Love & How it hurts

Rated: 13+

Hi Emberly Gray

My name is Ken, and I ventured into the Read & Review forum this morning... and this popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Love & How it hurts "

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
The opening line captured me. What a great description which set up the whole poem. While I don't necessarily share your view of love, having lived a long life I can see how these feelings came about. The attitude of never give up is one I believe in so I applaud your final verse. A small break in the rhyme is the only thing I saw that keeps this from 5 star but you did a wonderful job on capturing the emotions and sharing them with your readers. Well done!

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A very satisfying read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Review of Random Act Of Kindness

Hi Cappy

My name is Ken. I dropped a few pennies in the Read & Review cup... and this is the thanks I got.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Random Act Of Kindness"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
A vignette about the compassion and kindness of strangers. You told this primarily as an observer, never really bringing us into the moment. I also never made to connection between the title "Holidays" and the story. This could have happened at any time in any place. It seemed more of a social media type post than a story. Still, the emotion came through and, yes, I share your hope that kindness and compassion survive in this age of indifference. One suggestion: Rather than double-space, try inserting {size:4} at the beginning. This will increase the font size for ease of reading keep it from looking like a draft.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A heart warming read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi Sherasi

My name is Ken, and the Read & Review forum provided this offering to the Review Gods this morning.

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
A nice encapsulation of your daughter's persona. One wonders if it's feyness or shyness. I think anyone involved in art has a touch of magic about them. I appreciate the use of rhyme. It brings the reader along and keeps them in the moment. Nicely done.

Hi Queenbeme

My name is Ken, and I clicked on the Read & Review forum... and this popped up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "I'm Proud Of You "

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Positive and uplifting. Not a bad way to start the day.

I can tell by the words and emotions you've woven together that this is more than just an entry. It is a testament of your beliefs and love for people. Great word choices! Your descriptive words build images in the reader's mind. I saw nothing in error. You used language to show your feelings and each word seemed well chosen to paint the purpose of your poem. There were a few inverted phrases (i.e. "Proud I am" rather than "I am proud") which I felt put a slight bump in the smoothness of reading but nothing major.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A very positive and good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Hi TeeGateM

My name is Ken, and I wandered (proudly

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
As soon as I see the "Children" genre tag, I usually just go to the next offering, but your description caught my attention. That shows you the importance of the description block.

What a great storyline and lesson for the young. I found the tale engaging and the lesson integrated and clear. Overall, very well done. There's really nothing I can offer that would improve this.

A very clever, engaging, and good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
I see this was written a while ago regarding the loss of your wife. I have a similar memorial in port. Poetry is a wonderful way to remember and mourn our losses. I can tell by the words and emotions you've woven together that this is more than just a poem. It is a testament of your beliefs and love. While similar words have been spoken, these come from your heart and that makes it unique to you. Well done, my friend. She will always be with you but I'm happy to see that you've moved on to the next chapter.

Hi 🦃 intuey Grateful & Blessed

It's me, Ken, and I, after my morning coffee, of course, clicked on Read & Review... and this percolated up.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Coffee, The Magical Elixir"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
Another love poem!

A well-done Pi poem about a subject a lot of us love. By its nature, Pi poetry is written in free verse. Free verse is a type of poetry that does not contain patterns of rhyme or meter. However, free verse generally contains poetic lines and poetic imagery that distinguish it from prose. I could see the poetry and - more importantly - feel the caffeine in this.

Review of Body Music

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

In affiliation with SENIOR CENTER GROUP

Rated: 13+

| (4.5)

Hi Redtowrite

It's me, Ken, and the Read & Review forum - acting as a "way-back" machine - pulled this from a long forgotten corner of your port.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Body Music"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
As an aside, have you ever noticed that erotica seems to be the most viewed and least reviewed?

OK, on to the review:

I found this very appealing. The use of music allows the reader to fill in the blanks with (hopefully) their own memories.

Let's begin with the title; "Body Music." You left little doubt about what this poem was about. 😄 If this doesn't get the reader's attention, then I don't know what will. The "teaser" line (a.k.a. description) offers you an opportunity to add some clarification and can also be a great tool to attract more readers. I appreciate that you added a personal line about its meaning to amplify and set up the scenario for your poem.

Grammar/Wording - Great word choice! Your descriptive words build images in the reader's mind. I saw nothing in error. You used language to show your feelings and each word seemed well chosen to paint the story of your poem.

Form/Flow: This was written in free verse. Free verse is a type of poetry that does not contain patterns of rhyme or meter. However, free verse generally contains poetic lines and poetic imagery that distinguish it from prose. I could see the poetry and - more importantly - feel the emotion in this.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A good read that will bring warmth, not sweat.

Review of Easy Does It - A Lyric

Review by 🌝 HuntersMoon

Rated: E

| (4.5)

Hi Triple-L

My name is Ken, and I found this through the Read & Review forum. Serendipity; I had just finished listening to a song on the Newfeed and, I swear, the beat seemed to match your lyrics.

It is my pleasure to both read and provide you with feedback on your work "Easy Does It - A Lyric"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
A broken heart healed through Grace. Not particularly new and, while similar words have been spoken, these come from your heart, and that makes it unique to you. There is a definite "beat" to your verses which makes reading this easy and enjoyable. Generally, lyrics have a chorus; a repetitive verse that ties the song together and emphasizes the message. Your final verse would almost qualify.

One suggestion: Add {size:4} at the top of the page. This will increase the font size and make it easier to read - especially important for us old geezers.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

Lyrical and heartfelt; a good read. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.

Writing is about communication and this is what I saw in your work and is provided solely for your use. It's offered in a spirit of wanting to give you honest feedback... nothing more.

🤗 Keep 'em coming!

Review of Promise

Hi strlcuckoo

My name is Ken, and I chanced upon your poem through the Read & Review forum. I know it's the time of year to "fall back," but this went all the way back to 2008!

It is my pleasure to read and provide you with feedback on your work "Promise"

.

✨ Impressions/Thoughts:
I think we've all had those dreams that seem so real that when we awake, we're not sure if it was a dream or a memory. Since you listed this as "fantasy," I'll assume this wasn't necessarily an actual dream but more of an exploration of thought. Short and sweet, I think it relied too much on the reader's reaction to get the full intent.

✨ Overall Rating/Final Thoughts:

A bit more description and the integration of poetic phrasing might have added the emotional results you were looking for. Thank you for sharing your journey of creativity, imagination, and talent with me today.
