Review of Kurt Cobain  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
At home my teenage son says, "Mum that song sucks"; but I LOVE Polly too.
I also love Kurt for what he has given.

Nicely written, I liked the tears.

Thanks. (e:smile)

Review of Evening Meander  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
' Squatting down in brittle nest
of wind-flattened rush grasses
I watch the night sky
pan for gold. '...

...I love this stanza, very clever, & eloquent! *Smile*

Hi again fyn, this one is very descriptive; you are good at that aren't you!
It has a very elusive, yet so familiar aspect. Well done!

You had me from the beginning with this one, as I live right by the sea, & I love those walks. What a wonderful place you must have walked at!

A terrific poem fyn, thanks so much for sharing your talented works!

Hi again! *Smile*

This little poem has great word usage, well done!

The beginning seemed to rhyme, (perhaps coincidently?), then mid-way, the poem lost flow.

The homey, almost smell, of what you have written is great! *Thumbsup*

Thanks fyn.

Review of Freespirit  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi Fyn, I am happy to be reviewing some of your poetry.

This one is old, wise, & humble. I do like it, though was disconcerted with the length; in saying so it ended very nicely.

I found one can get caught in each meaning, or just read & enjoy. Very philosophical.


I found a typo in stanza 4 :

... paths ithruough pepples.

A nice read, thank you. *Smile*

Review of Will you?  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
Will you stay quiet,
when prejudice and unjustness reigns?

*Note1* no way


Will you drop your basket of roses and fight for your friend,
when he has lost all hope and is pursued by ghosts?

*Note3* heck yeah!


Will you try to sing,
even when there's no one in sight?

*Note2* as often as possible!!!


Will you keep helping others,
when no help is returned?

*Note* yes, dammit.

Hey Koorow, I loved this, different, & makes you think!

OH! & :


Will you forget this mail now,
and think of others that don't ask such questions?

*Note5* Never never.

Thanks mate,
*Heart* Meriki

Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hi Kristi, I am so proud to be reviewing you for the BSFU*Bigsmile*

THE POEM:

'The Chanters' is itself a haunting chant. I loved it!

Terrific flow & rhythm, with a nightmarish theme...voices within.
You have presented a taunting existence so well, I imagine many will relate. *Thumbsup*

Great job!

Review of What If  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Yeah, if only there was a 'what if'.

Hi Char, I enjoyed your write.

THE POEM :

a place where we have all been; the 'what ifs' of life!
I imagine most everyone shall relate to this write.

RHYTHM & RHYME :

a nice easy flow lends the reader to feel here; as it is not pushed, yet has a natural rhythm that is human, & spiritual.

SPELLING & GRAMMAR :

I noticed you start a new line with an upper case letter at all times in this write. An upper case is only required after a periodfull stop mark, & not for the beginning of a line.

No other errors were found, great job!

MY FAVORITE :

' To another past
another plateau of
beauty and joy.'

very beautiful, thankyou!

Love from Meriki*

Review of TRUST IS A MUST  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
THE POEM :

about trust...so vital. Valid points are set, & this is easily related to. Well done!

RHYTHM & RHYME :

A slightly uneven flow; still the tone is balanced without force. A joy to read!

SPELLING & GRAMMAR :

A simple typo in line 14 :

you have a comma followed by a period.

also in your intro, under the poem title;

'losing' is misspelled.

No other errors found, great job!

MY FAVORITE :

the title, & line ;

'trust is a must'

Very simply true.

Thanks for sharing yourself so openly Carlotta.

Yours, Meriki*

Dear Cissy,
I am pleased to be reviewing some of your work on behalf of the 'Bipolar Special Forces Unit'.

* THE STORY :

you have bared your heart & soul in this emotional write.
It is not easy to share such heartache, & I commend you for your openness.

I would like to see this write go further, & you have said it is a work in progress.

As you have come this far, it may be time for you to be more specific in your personal experience & story.
The story as it is, is left a little vague, but I sense that you are preparing in readiness to share more of your self, in a more personal way.
Readers always want to know more; but Cissy, I think YOU will benefit so much from sharing your pain in a more intimate way!

Open up to us...free yourself, if but for a while.
I promise it works magic, & I'm sure you felt a sense of release to write thus far.

You have done a wonderful job, & I look forward to more!!!

Thank you for sharing your inner most self.
Much love, Meriki*

Beautiful!

A talented young lady!

Autumn, (I hope I remembered your name right?...I didn't check, I just know you are Stacey's eldest), you are so beautiful dear, outside & in! Just like your mama!

I'm so glad you are putting your writes up!

This is a beautifully giving poem, with heartache & lessons, fear & trust.

Your rhythm & rhyme is wonderful, & there are no errors!

Well done mate!

I hope you put lots more on here for us all to read!

You should check out suki08.

She is only a bit younger than you, 16, & lives near me. She writes amazing prose & poetry.
I reckon you guys would really relate to each other!

So nice to read you Autumn! Give your ma a hug for me!!!

Take care sweetie,
Love Raelene Meriki*

Review of Waves  Open in new Window.
Review by Meriki Moon Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Dear kip,

I live by the sea, & am especially akin to the moon; so I was drawn to this beautiful nature-spirit poem.

It is a little meditation...it cleanses, nurtures, & releases.

There is a wanting, & a welcoming peace.

The flow & word choice are wonderfully sincere, not pushed, yet naturally read & understood.

I like your writing very much kip,

with love from a fellow poet,
Meriki*
