What I thought of your title: I felt the heart ache in the title alone
The positive aspects: I love the way you wrote with such emotion. Letting go of someone you truly love is the hardest thing to do.
You had a life to go back home to,
and I knew that's where you belong.
We said goodbye 'mid salty tears,
we both tried to be so very strong.
( I love this stanza. It spoke to me, telling both sides of the story. It was the plot of the poem)
Holding on to memories is never something you have to give up.

The positive aspects: I love how you told the story of his father.
His battle between using the gun and not using it. It seems he has quite the battle going on with himself. I liked the spacing you used, Made very easy to read.
My mother's house loomed up ahead of me. I had no memory of coming here. Stumbling, mind numbed with pain and shock, I climbed her front steps. Sobbing, I knocked. The door opened, my mother's arms drew me inside.
I really felt this part of the story. His torment and not wanting to go with what his heart wants to do. Items of improvement:I don't see any improvement needed. You had me feel the story from beginning to end.

The positive aspects: I love the story told in this piece. The Spartans is a story I love. Mythology is one of my favorites. Although I cant seem to write about it. You give a great imagery here. I felt the pull of the Gods and the ploy of pulling in the reigns. Poor Persius !!

“You weren't there. You just been sitting at home watching the news like us here. ( I didn't quite follow what you were trying to portray here. )
"check" should cheque
police, the news, they all wanted to know what I saw (the new," and" they all) Overall thoughts: You have a great idea on how to tell a story. A few tweaks here and there, such as grammar and punctuation. You want your reader to be able to follow the story how you want them to see it. Keeping it interesting.

Hi, It is only me LifeLessons. I am here to review your art of writing. Please take note this is only my review.
What I thought of your title:I love this title. I knew right away that you have poet in you.
The positive aspects:Everything about this was great. The constant in the lines of reference to this castle in the sky. The flow was great. I love the choice of words and they click in each rhyme.
Items of improvement:The only mistake I found was "why build a imposing thing" ( maybe build "an" )
Overall thoughts:Over all this has great quality in poetry. You have a great imagination, and that is all you need. Great job!
Here to give a review and I hope you don't think of this as nit picking. Only giving structural advice.
What I liked about the title: Of course when I saw this title, I wanted to know. I will not. Had to read it.
What I found that was positive: You have a lot of emotion in this poem. I received a message loud and clear that violence was not going to have the upper hand here. There was a great amount of strength in words.
My thoughts in general: You can most likely tell that I will not die at your hands
I will not quake in your tracks
( I think you can shorten this a little so it flows with the rest of the stanza. A little tweaking can make this much stronger.
You caused to much pain?
(did you mean this to be "too much pain" or "so much pain"
a mild error
Great efforts made here!! Thanks for sharing
Hello, it's just me LifeLessons. Doing some reviewing and came across this piece.
Title: Simple title and It brought a vision in mind right away
What I liked: I loved everything about it. How it made me feel. How you portrayed music to the ear. Nice flow of words and descriptive. Well done. Your second attempt in poetry shocks me. You really have a talent here.
Things I think you can improve: The only thing that bothered me was the first two lines. I think you can use a little tweaking here. Something descriptive before pearl. Maybe an iridescent pearl. Along those lines would pull the two sentences together.
Final thoughts: Good for you ! This is a great start to being a great poet in the making.
I hope to see more from you, I think you may have a hidden talent here.

What I liked about the title: This title Screamed at me! Really! I feel the same about what is happening in our world.
What I found that was positive: Everything you have said here is true. I felt the pain and anguish of the narrator. You have chosen very descriptive words and used them well.
There is so much rumblings from too many an
Empty stomach ( This would be one of my favorite lines, it speak volumes)
My thoughts in general: This is a great piece of writing. I would use some punctuation just to give the reader a time to breath. I say this based on some lines seem to run on instead of flowing into each other. Other than that, it was great

What I liked about the title: I liked the title, because it told me you had something to say here. Reading on I made the quick connection.
What I found that was positive: I enjoyed the simplicity of this write. You have mentioned your confusion in life that can sometimes blind us. Hoping for a better future and a bit of positive activity. Life can be like the forest, dodging trees and staying on the path.
My thoughts in general: A couple of suggestions for you.
The walk of life is what I am in but not seeing anything but despair in life.( you use the word but in the same sentence. It is a bit of a run on here. maybe: The walk through life is where I am, only
being blocked by despair.) This would shorten it and get your point across.
(can't vision) maybe: cannot envision
These are only little changes that may help you come across clearer to the reader.

What I found that was positive: I like the simplicity of the poem. I felt the emotion.
My thoughts in general: I think you have used some good choice words. Your
last sentence, you could delete the (even) and it would
give it a better flow. Simplicity to this piece would be
important.

What I liked about the title: I was intrigued by the title. Something about the name I think. It caught my attention.
What I found that was positive: I think you have a great start to a good story. Two people getting together. Charlotte's walk home was interesting.
My thoughts in general: I think you need to start your story with a more intense beginning. Not sure who the boy in the hoody is. I was confused. The story seems to jump from one concept to another. You need quotations on your dialogue. Some spelling mistakes and spacing. These are little things just to improve your story.
Nice piece.
I felt the emotion here for sure.
Life is about dancing in the rain.
Life's Lessons here.
Learning to love one's self is something some never learn.
I have no issues or critiques
Enjoy your writing.
Nicely done!
Amazing variety of words to describe nature in our own back yard.
I love the difference between the two.
Nature is ruthless and hard to accept for some.
A little story, I thought a Robin had fallen from the nest last spring. I scooped it up and took it back to the tree where the nest was, only to find it later that night across the yard. I went to save it again and the Momma came squealing at my head. Only to learn she was trying to get her baby to fly. More or less she told me to mind my business ! LOL
I enjoyed this little read.
I love the name Maya.
There are only a couple of suggestions, these are only suggestions.
, so contempt with who she ( should be content I believe)
she rise above (she has risen above our pity)
Great piece,
Keep writing
I cam across this in random reviews.
I was not so taken by the title, but the first few sentences.
It has a great story line.
I only have a couple of suggestions for you.
Keep in mind these are only suggestions.
I would break the story up a little, just to make it easier to read.
I would start with a more descriptive character of the princess.
I think this could be a longer short story. It has wonderful pontential
