Hello Ducttape Knight Author Icon!
Ooooh, a deadly haiku! Such a pleasure to feast on. The queen would be delighted for sure. *Bigsmile*

This part was delicious:
Off with their dead heads! LOL That's the best, with just the right touch of syllables.

I'd *Ax* this part:
I won't be chopping into this one. It's bad all on it's own. *Smirk*

Overall:

Heressssssssssss Johnny!! Dead Alice and bloodshed in style. There are some awesome zombies lurking around in the horde.

*Star*This review is an acknowledgment of your contest entry, as well as some of my brief thoughts.

*Exclaim* You said it all in your great lines of wisdom, "Life is strange...It gives us everything when we feel hopeless on losing it all."

I loved the way your story ended with the prompt the way it began. You had an amazing story in between. Wow! What an adventure! ...And an underlining story throughout! I loved the ending. The ladies really taught that Ben a lesson! *Wink*

I hope you will continue to enter WDC contests because it's clear that you have lots of creative ideas. In the future, it might be a good idea for you to find a grammar check program to help you polish up your stories. Keep on writing!

*Star*This review is an acknowledgment of your contest entry, as well as some of my brief thoughts.

*Exclaim* My goodness, you had so much going on in your story, that it was almost hard to find the prompt. Great idea to say that the two women were twin sisters.

You created lives for them which contained lots of heartache. Through thick and thin, they've always been there for each other, with the exception, perhaps, of one paragraph that told a different story. What a lovely ending your story had! Nice work.

*Star*This review is an acknowledgment of your contest entry, as well as some of my brief thoughts.

*Exclaim* Wow! I didn't see the twist ending coming in the least! Great job in building the story. Your readers get a good idea of the strong bond between the two women. Each one deeply caring for the other.

I liked how the two chatted over coffee. The discussion about one friend, quickly turned to the other. I wondered how Mary could tell Cindy was expecting a baby. Great story-line with the twist. Nice work.

*Exclaim* I liked how you used tea for your prompt cups instead of coffee! The hint of chocolate sounded delightful.

I wasn't sure why Taylor didn't give the earrings to Kathy himself, but I guess those in the Navy don't get too much time off. Great idea to have Marlene's life-long friend fall in love with Marlene's brother. Also, it was a nice touch to come back to the prompt scene at the end. Nice work.

*Exclaim* Nice opening scenario. I love the choice of beverage!

As I started reading, I noticed right away where your story was going. What a very creative idea!

It was sweet that you had the narration state that the hurricane intentions were only to help the Earth.

Great use of the prompt. ...From the whispering, to the reaching for the gift - I could see it all in the image. Nice work. *Smile*

*Exclaim* I'm now 'wrapped in a cloud of fond memories' from your whimsical descriptions! I would have loved to be at such a wedding. You made that sound so good. *Smile*

I enjoyed reading your story of sweet friendship. Those ladies had bonded right from the start. You had lots of creative ideas, and it was really nice that you took the time to highlight some words that you knew many people might be unsure of. Maybe if you get a chance, you might go back and highlight a bit more.

I'm sure your characters will seem admirable to anyone who reads your story. I'm glad you included a happy ending, too.

*Exclaim* Nice use of the prompt, and great descriptions right from the start. I liked how you let your reader know from the beginning who the people in the picture were. The words you used to do so seemed to flow effortlessly.

I'll have to say that I would have never expected to read what the contents of that shiny red bag were! I thought that was very creative of you.

Even more creative was where the story led. I liked how the red bag remained the focus of the story. You certainly gave your story lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed the happy ending...Well, I guess Dawn wasn't too happy! LOL Nice work.

*Exclaim* What a surprise! I didn't know this was a vampire story until the very end. Great use of the prompt. I could picture the two girls drinking that 'special blend' of coffee.

In addition to the well written surprise ending, I thought your story flowed in a captivating way right from the start. I've been to both D.C. and NYC. It was fun to read about the sights in both places. Great job. *Smile*

What a surprise! I really didn't know where this interesting tale was going, until I read the surprise at the end!

You showed exceptional creativity in coming up with that from the prompt. You certainly gave us one to remember. *Smile*

I liked how some tidbits were recalled, and how it was implied that the cycle will repeat with the next generation. Nice work.

*Star*This review is an acknowledgment of your contest entry, as well as some of my brief thoughts.

*Exclaim* You really did your homework with this amazing tale about Harry Mudd and the Ferengi. Your poem told the entertaining story well.

I liked how you described the Ferengi. Their meeting and alliance were fun to read. After a lot of double crossing going on, the ending twist made your poem even that much more fantastic.

Your smooth-flowing rhyme added to the pleasant experience.

I also would like to mention the author notes about the Ferengi and Harry Mudd. I felt this enriched your item as well.

These notes added trivia which brings back great memories of the show. I'm sure this will help lots of members who know little about Star Trek, to also enjoy your poem as much as the fans. Great job! *Delight*

The style was great. I liked how delicate it seemed.

LOL I could imagine the Ferengi getting Harry Mudd's nagging Stellas! ...Wearing prudent outfits, too! Great job. *Laugh*

*Note4* FIRST IMPRESSION: This is a fun poll about Star Trek series.

*Exclaim* THOUGHTS:Hi eyestar~* Author Icon! I had trouble choosing just one favorite show! I picked TNG, because that one brought back such great memories. My second would be Voyager.

*Check2*ERRORS: I didn't find any errors.

*Star*FAVORITE PART: Nice work in putting this one together. The heading looks great, and I love the choices.

I enjoyed seeing what other people picked for their favorite show. That's part of what makes these polls so much fun. Thanks for making this one for us all to enjoy. *Smile*

From Maryann Author Icon


*Note4* FIRST IMPRESSION: This is a poem about Star Trek Captains.

*Exclaim* THOUGHTS: Hi eyestar~* Author Icon! I didn't get to do reviews during our review raid, so I'll be trying to get some of these fun type reviews done this weeek. *Bigsmile*

*Check2*ERRORS: no errors here.

*Star*FAVORITE PART:I liked the style of this poll. Not only do you have a great poll, but your readers can also learn something or get some tips from the longer introduction in the heading.

I love the bright color scheme in the heading. It makes your poll fun and inviting.

You have so many great choices!! I almost chose 'couldn't decide' because I do have a few favorites, but I picked Janeway. She has always been an admirable woman. She was fair to everyone in her crew, even right from the start when their were some problems. She was also the one to be around in times of trouble because she kept a clear head and was quick to think and make sure her commands were put into action. She was wise in utilizing her crew to their best potential.

I think Kirk would have been my second pick, just because of his smooth style. *Delight*

Thanks for making this great poll. *Smile*

I like how you did write something to introduce this folder, but maybe you might also think about writing a few short lines more. ..Some intriguing thoughts about a story or two..Just a couple of lines so not to give any spoilers. You can also think about adding one of your images...Just a thought. *Smile*

I'm so glad you joined in on "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" Open in new Window.'s in group mini challenge. You really showed team spirit, and this line made that point well: "Hey Homer! We are surveying the land so we can do reviews of what we saw. We rock! We are powerful! We are going to be famous writers and critics someday!"

You did a great job in bringing personality to the three little birds of Breaker's image. Nice work! *Smile*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your poem.

*Exclaim*This poem is really beautiful.

I can feel the strong emotion and the feeling of hope that comes along with the struggle.

The choice of words you used, such as "dolor upon my soul", was very creative in adding to the intensity of the touching poem.

I would add a genre of 'inspirational', because this poem makes one look ahead to the brightness of a new day.

By the way, the very ending is all which didn't flow right to me...The title talks that 'there will dawn a new day', however your poem ends with, 'a new eve'. I think I would have expected 'a new dawn'.

Keep writing these great poems. I really enjoyed stopping by your port.*Delight*

*Star*This review contains some of my brief thoughts about your poem.

*Exclaim*I love the style of your poem. It read like a limerick. I felt that it had a gentle playfulness in that way.

The rhyme is really smooth, and enjoyable.

This piece can hold truth for many Writing.com members. We have our 'in-person' lives...Some of us are students...Others have busy jobs...Kids...But we all meet here on this friendly on-line community. It's like having two lives, as you said! *Delight*

Yes, it strikes thought. We're the same person, yet how different it is to be in two different worlds. ...And we've all experienced the joy and the consequences! What would we ever do without the internet! *Bigsmile*

Thanks for sharing your poem, and welcome to WDC.

*Exclaim* LOL Okay Debbie, you caught me off guard and you have me cracking up laughing, so that my dogs think I'm nuts once again!! That doesn't happen all that often, but thanks for writing something so fun to read, that it made me laugh. *Laugh*

How many times did we all watch a Star Trek episode and just knew which 'extra' was going to die by the color of their shirt, and their unknown look. Wouldn't it have been AWESOME for one of them to beat the odds by dyeing their shirt a different color! LOL Great fun and ideas in your fantastic limerick. *Delight*

I really love limericks, btw, when they rhyme so smoothly and are very well done. Your limerick was just such an experience. It was playful, friendly, and read like a pleasant song. Thanks for entering the Star Trek contest.

*Fire* Congrats Joseph! You're receiving a Solar Package from "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.! Enjoy! *Fire*

*Note4* FIRST IMPRESSION: This is the perfect poem about love and marriage.

*Exclaim* THOUGHTS: What a beautiful poem! My son just recently got married, so that's why I noticed your wedding poem. Yours was filled with sentiments and romance! *Smile*

*Check2*ERRORS: I didn't find any errors.

*Star*FAVORITE PART: I felt your poem was very touching and sweet. I can feel the strong bond of marriage right from the very first stanza - which was my absolutely favorite part of the poem! What a sweet declaration of love! Their dreams came true. These can be marriage vows!

I really didn't find anything in this poem which needed improvement. The rhyme seemed smooth to me, which added to the pleasant reading experience. The tender wording set the enjoyable mood. ...And the theme of love was consistent. I liked how your poem is centered nicely, too.

Ending it with an 'I Do' is the perfect ending to this nicely done poem.

*Idea*SUGGESTIONS: This is the perfect season to put your wedding poem in places...There are lots of summer weddings. You might want to look around for things like contests where you can enter this poem. *Smile*

I happen to know that you're really good at creating images. Why not add an image of a wedding cake below your poem? *Bigsmile*

You humbly mentioned that, in other words, that you practice what you preach by looking into these details in your own work.

*Star*FAVORITE PART: We felt the frustration the driver was feeling. He had to drive so far just to deliver one letter, which was so long over due to be delivered. You gave that much of his personality in just a small space.

You wrote a fine character in for the kind old lady. The surprise at the end was very sweet.

*Idea*SUGGESTIONS: Now that the writing assignment is over (Or, when it is over...), you might want to include the information that this was a writing assignment and what was involved, as a small note at the beginning of your story. This way, you might choose a more catching title instead of 'Class Assignment'.

You only picked one genre. I would go back to edit this item, and pick the two more that you are allowed. This way, your item and port might receive more views. You might, for example, add the genre, 'adventure', or 'family'.

*Note4* FIRST IMPRESSION: This is a limerick about a mother.

*Exclaim* THOUGHTS: I love this limerick! I think you're the only member who posted a limerick on the list, and I'm so glad you did. *Smile*

*Check2*ERRORS: I didn't find any errors here.

*Star*FAVORITE PART: I had lots of fun reading your limerick. Limericks always seem to have a fun and happy flow to them, and your was no exception. The middle of the limerick, that says she would never miss a chance at a kiss is the best!

This is a great way to honor your mom. Great job. *Smile*
