Review of Gymnastics  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
OMG! You have done a nice job. I like this work of poem, an acrostic on word GYMNASTICS. I enjoyed the poem, flow of thoughts, the story, the meaning, the taletelling, the imagery and the read.



You have done the acrostic meaningfully and appropriately, telling the story about gymnastics, participation attitudes of the athletes in Rio and about their competitive spirit for the world competition in the Olympics.



Title of the poem is appropriate.



Edit:
Gold metal dreams in gymnastics
Young athletes compete in Rio.
Making their rhythmic marks on the world,
Names that will echo through the aeons
Artistic geniuses on the parallel or uneven bars.
Success is competing in the Olympics!
The trampoline dances to their tunes,
Individual in peak condition
Compete against themselves and the world:
Silver, bronze, and gold metal winners.

Review of The World's Need

Hope dope!



OMG! You have done a nice job. This work of poem is righteous and meaningful. I liked this poem, a poem in the form Trois-par-Huit. I have read the link and now I find this poem in right order as per the requirement of the form.



I have enjoyed the read, the story, the taletelling, the message, the theme, the imagery and the word visuals.



You have rightly appreciated the need of the world, explored it and explained it orderly and expressively.



Title of the poem is good but it is not catchy, though, I think, you have explored the theme, the story in term of the title, related to the title, still, catch of the title of the poem is missing, to me, as I read, I find, rather, there is a natural appeal and significance of the title and you have expressed the theme well. Besides, I do not think the title is expressive also. I think the title might have been worded otherwise, you being the author, you know it better; I think you have given lesser thought in writing the title than writing the poem in a specific form, truly, I find, it is not so easy following and writing a poem in the given form. I would wish to offer my suggestion, just my humble suggestion, you may consider writing the title ‘The Need of the World’ instead, though I know, the contest is over, there is no need of changing the title, and you will find problem in editing the poem and it would be difficult to maintain the form and it will create problem in maintaining rhymes, but I only think, the title may be better read if not catchy, I know, you are the master of the poem and master of writing a title appropriate for your poem, I just thought and offered my suggestion.



You have not only told about the need of the world but you have shown with good explanation the need of the world, in this perspective, the fruition or result or effect is not important to be considered.



Edit:
Each morning,
dreaming, awakening,
I put on hope with my nurse's shoes.

Clasping it securely, like a brooch I might choose,
it is the most necessary tool that I use.

Walking through my day, planting a seed,
hope's deep gladness helps feed
the world's need.

Please check, I have humbly offered some suggestions as edit given in the bracket, as above, for smoother read of the poem.

Review of Journey  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Life’s journey!



OMG! You have done a great job. This is a fine work of poem. I liked the poem, the poem about life’s journey. I enjoyed the poem, its free flow of thoughts, the story, the taletelling, the finish of the story, the message of the story and the read.



Indeed, you have explored and expressed the journey of life in the story of the poem with a good beginning and a positive finish.



I think the imagery is not so important, though I expected word visuals, but I am happy with the story, the thematic percolation, the thematic progression, and the positive ending of the story about our journey of life.



As information given in the author’s notes about a Cameo poem, I find, as I read, you have done it well. I expected a link for further reference about the form, structure and example of a Cameo poem for learning and getting more satisfaction of the read, I think so.



The title of the poem is good but it is neither appropriate nor catchy, as I read, I think, it is not complete and I do not find any catch for the read, instead I see, it is just a title, maybe, methinks, you have given more emphasis and importance to the form of the poem for the contest and as such, lesser in making a title of the poem, specifically, you have not just expressed a journey but a life’s journey, though, I do not find any mention of the requirement of the contest, as I find, the title is not significant and it is not catchy, as I think catch of the title of a poem is important for a poem, as it is equally important, just giving a correct title is not enough for a poem.



Edit:
One step
Leads to another
Upon life's journey we travel
Day by day
Through joyful peaks and dark valleys
Striving to make a difference
Each day

Review of I Forgive  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
OMG! You have done a nice job. I liked this poem and enjoyed the read.



You are terrific, you have shown you have a way with the words, and I find, you have taken every care to mention everything and almost everything you know you forgive, as if you manifest and practically follow the adage ‘to forgive is divine’, and I find you have tried to prove yourself a great person and a grand writer; I find you have proved yourself a good poet in your art and style of poetic expression in an oak tree like form and style of writing poems. However, you have already mentioned yourself a most human of human beings.



My favourite lines of the poem:
I forgive
God
I forgive
Myself



I liked much the following lines of the poem:
I forgive
This world
I forgive
These people
I forgive
What I must
I forgive
What I won’t
I forgive
Who I am



I liked the interesting and funny lines of the poem:
I forgive
Humanity
I forgive
Duality



I did not like the following lines; truly, I did not understand what you tried to mean by the lines of the poem:
I forgive
What I cannot
I forgive
Who I am
I forgive
What I am not



Edit:
I forgive what I can, what I must, and what I cannot. I am a most human of being.
(I forgive what I can, what I must, and what I cannot. I am a most human of human beings.)



I have offered my humble suggestion as an edit in the bracket as above.

Review of A Mild Winter

Well, you have done a nice job. I find the poem is clearly expressed and I see you may have endeavoured it well in a form Quinzaine. I liked the poem and enjoyed the read.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.



I expected a link about the form of the poem you have followed, but for which I could not offer my opinion on your work confidently. I think the form of the poem is not so popular like Haiku or Senryu and I need to learn the form for offering my view about the work better.



Edit:
This winter was very mild.
Is that why the weeds
Are growing?

Holy-Day Seasons!



You have done a righteous job. I liked the work of poem and enjoyed the story, the flair and free flow of thoughts, the rhythms and rhymes, and the read.



You have brought before us the environment; remind us the cause of joy and the floral arrangements and sprucing up our homes for the joyous engagements and influence us to go doing our jobs and throw in us the spirit of cultural and religious manifestations and remind us naturally about the celebration of the Christmas in joy, happiness, love and commitment to family and neighbours.



You have given us the tempo, encourage and motivate us how to celebrate the season.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy; you have reminded us of our individual participation and celebration as per our faith and need of celebration of the season.



Edit:
So gorgeous, the lights and the floral arrangements,
Spruce up the home for these joyous engagements.
Prepare now to feast, with gifts lavished and such;
The smell of Mom's baking will never seem much...

With Christmas approaching, there's plenty to do -
Just make up a list that you'll try to get through.
Shop wisely, with care, figure out what they want,
Bestowing such treasures that they'll truly flaunt.

The most worthy of loves and sweet kindness, this season,
With happiness, warmth, and much merriment, the reason;
The time for celebration so perfect has arrived,
With laughter and innocence never contrived...

Heroes of 9/11!



OMG! You have done a nice job. I liked your work of poem, a poem remembers the heroes. I enjoyed your emotional salutation, remembering, and hearty feeling of pride for the heroes of 9/11.



The world could never forget the heroes, and we should ever remember the lives of the heroes. We should not forget the heroes who sacrificed their lives on 9/11 and we should remember their courage chose the highest price beneath steel and stone and day.



Title of the poem is appropriate and significant.



Edit:
With melting steel and crumbling stone,
the Towers could not stand.
Born from that dust, a seed was sown,
uniting this great land.

Review of For Later

Adam no longer is!



Good! You have done a good job. Indeed you have told a nice story in the poem. I like the poem, a poem telling a story about Adam. I enjoyed the poem. Mysterious is the story about Adam, I like. I enjoyed the free flow of thoughts, the story, taletelling, the rhymes, the rhythm is spontaneous, the imagery, the word visuals, and the read.



The story about Adam begins with a nice catch, and the story has a good progression of plot, but in the climax, and at the end, abruptly and curiously the story ends, telling simply Adam is no longer.



Character of Adam is well described, flown and his personality has been stated interestingly, diversely, with his peculiar and simple habits.



Though everyone expected of his return some day, but he never came back, sadly, Adam is no longer there.



The melodramatic end of Adam’s story in the poem is an interesting read.



Title of the poem is good, metaphoric but it is neither appropriate, nor catchy, I think, as the story progresses, there is all the way Adam is prime, and he is the prime character, and it has been expressed nicely, but I never find the title is somehow interesting or catchy.



Edit:
Adam liked skiing, playing the clarinet,
Back in the good old days when he was a kid.
Now he never has enough time for that,
Which makes him sad, but a bit, just a tiny bit.

(Adam liked skiing, playing the clarinet,

Edit:
He wants to learn Korean and play baseball,
Visit Peru, write a book, get a guinea pig.
It would take quite a lot to achieve it all,
Maybe those tiny wishes are just too big.

Edit:
Adam will do it later, someday, of course,
He'll solve the Rubik's cube, go to Disneyland,
Learn how to do a painting and ride a horse,
Just not today, maybe Monday or next weekend.

Edit:

But they will hit it off, Adam has no doubt,
When he gets richer, slimmer and grows a beard,
Adam will finally dare to ask her out.

Edit:
All in good time, his mother once used to say,
Dreams have to wait, you do what you have to do,
World is not going anywhere anyway,
Now it's work, TV and a beer or two.

Adam is hopeful, even when life gets tough,
Telling himself that it's all gonna be okay,
Glass is half-full, you know all that kind of stuff,
He'll drink it later, though, on a rainy day.

Adam is walking down the busy street,
Wishing to change the game and not knowing how,
Something will happen soon, you just wait for it,
Moment is coming, Adam, your time is now.

Suddenly all his body feels strangely numb,
Screeching of tires, screaming, a loud thump,
Adam was waiting for better days to come,
Waiting is over, Adam, your time is up.

Monday has passed, a weekend, a month, a year,
Adam was not quite wrong about certain things:
Fortunately, for now the world's still here,
Sadly, however, Adam no longer is.

OMG! You have truly done a nice job; I liked the work of poem, a poem of thief bird, a poem of little hummingbirds; I enjoyed the story, the bird the speaker, free flow of thoughts, good taletelling, nice imagery and good word visuals, and the read.



The little hummingbirds made your day, and you have stated it so nicely, as I find, you have made the story so entertaining.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.

Review of Between Him And I  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Well, I find you have done a nice job; I liked the work of poem and enjoyed the free flow of thoughts and the read.



You have clarified your relation, roles of God in your life, and how you think God has been influencing your diverse courses of living, and you know you will face God on the Judgment Day there in Heaven after you go there, though you have confessed the gifts God has given to you, obviously the relation with God is somewhat twisted as you have narrated the story in the poem.



My favourite lines of the poem:
God won’t forgive
Nor should he



I liked most the lines of the poem:
He gave me life
I took it away
It now belongs to me
A sustainable right
A precious plight
Given in jest
Or so I lament
I will do what I wish
No regrets



I liked the true expressive story in the following lines of the poem:
When I die
I will go to his Heaven
And I will face my judgment
What will be said
Will forever be



Edit:
A poem about my twisted relationship with God and how I know that some day I must face him

(A poem about my twisted relationship with God and how I know that someday I must face Him)



Edit:
God won’t forgive
Nor should he

(God won’t forgive
Nor should He)



Edit:
Between him and I
God understands me
And if he does not

(Between Him and I
God understands me
and if He does not)



Edit:
When I die
I will go to his Heaven
And I will face my judgment

(When I die
I will go to His Heaven
and I will face my Judgment)



Edit:
Just as it was in life
Between him and I

(Just as it was in life
between Him and me)



Edit:
I know that
And so does god…

(I know that
and so does God)



Edit:
Between Him And I

(Between Him and Me)



Title of the poem is good enough, but it is not catchy, I think, as I read; I do not get idea that you have themed the poem about your relation and your saying all about God and your twisted relationship with God, I came to know after the read.



Please check, I have humbly offered some suggestions as edits in the brackets, as above.

Myths for humanity!



Literally speaking, you have done a nice job; you have described simply the essence and significance of myths in our day-to-day living, in absence of having orientation and appreciation of myths, there is evident of hostile living, while role of evolution in the growth of generations is also mentioned.



I liked the poem of wisdom and generations and influence of myths and its good flow of thoughts.



Title of the poem is appropriate and catchy.



I could not enjoy the poem in the form of Chronos, as you have not given us any link for the form of the poem for reference.

Wise thoughts!



Excellent! You have done a job, full of thoughts with a decision on resolution for a change in the social law.



I liked the poem, a poem of social change, a poem of social change proposal, a poem of social living analysis and a poem of wisdom on social issues.



I enjoyed the poem, so analytical, logical and rational in telling the facts for appreciation and I find there is social appeal and facts before readers to ponder over the issue of use of guns.



There are societies as you have given examples and the problems of using guns freely by teenagers to nonagenarian.



I appreciate your viewpoint and view about use of guns and having gun laws and appropriate use of law and practice of laws about gun usage at certain point of time, and proposal for replacing the law for carrying guns with driving automobiles are appreciable.



It is nice that you have considered the issue and offered your view about making guns outlaws in the society and the impact and what advocates say about change and having the existing laws in the society about free use of guns.



How people are misusing guns and unlawfully using gun laws and creating troubles in society by the users’ desperate, whimsical, unlawful and inhuman use of guns and you have pointed out all the disadvantages of loose gun laws in the society.



Freedom to living, right to living, right to use of guns all are now within our right use of rights have been a matter of reconsideration and change for safety and security of living in a free society.



You have given us a fair view of a dangerous society. I appreciate the story poem about living in a dangerous society and how it is and how it is becoming inhuman in terms of living is well versed.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.

Review of Butterflies  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Descriptive satisfaction!



OMG! It is good that you have done a good job; I liked the work of poem, a poem of expressive happiness, a poem of joy in watching movement, a poem of enjoying the colourful views of moving butterflies; I enjoyed the read, simple description and a good work stating diverse feeling of enjoyment watching diverse types of butterflies moving before your window.



You have described the watching movement of the butterflies simply and innocently and shown us a bit less, your enjoyment out of watching has rightly been described, here I find, telling is more than showing, still it is likeable, and it was a pleasant read though.



The first stanza is so expressive and eloquent and I liked the imagery and word visuals but I do not like the last stanza that is more descriptive and telling than showing and it was just a passing the read.



Title of the poem is good enough but it is neither appropriate nor catchy, though you have spoken about butterflies but the enjoyment out of watching the butterflies is missing in the words of the title and I do not find the title is catchy, for it is traditional and very common and it does not hook me to read the poem instantly.



Edit:
They flutter in the air with ease
their large wings display a pattern
they are as light as a feather
nectar from flowers is their favorite fruit.

Wonderful!



Truly, you have done an excellent job; I liked the poem, rightly you have composed the poem of birthday in a challenging form, and I find the first phrase of the first line sets as required, as you have maintained the rhyme scheme so rhythmically; I enjoyed the read of the work of poem and its free and rhythmic flow of thoughts, and the imagery, and fantastic use of specific words, and the word visuals.



You have shown well, how you have enjoyed the day, the very day of your birthday, and you found the environment so pleasant, you again enjoyed having the gifts, some special and mentionable gifts, as you thought yourself so blessed, and again, you were much excited with the puppy, and how helpful the puppy had been; moreover, you were happy to receive the best ever gift of a fur baby, all made you day.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.

smiling and happy as can be.

(What a day for a great birthday!
The sun is shining just for me
song birds are singing happily.
Going to my friend's house to play
merrily, skipping all the way
smiling, and happy as can be.)



Edit:
Now ten, so I got my own key.
it won't vanish, it's safe with me
by my side, it will always stay.
What a day!

Edit:
What a day for a great birthday,
out of breath, I run through the door,
stumbling, I slide across the floor
landing right at my puppy's feet,
he licks me, 'till I retreat.
Together, the world we'll explore!

Given love and care!



OMG! Wonderful! You have done a righteous job; I liked the poem and enjoyed the read, truly enjoyed the tale of saving life, the story of securing, caring and loving an isolated life from the precipice, taletelling, free and flair flow of thoughts, good imagery and sound word visuals.



The saved life acknowledges love, care, safety and security you provided; the story in the poem is naturally voiced and you have concluded the story with a humane feeling of acknowledgement of unconditional love in your manifestation.



The title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.



Edit:
With your love, you dipped deep within the well of my soul;
Shining a light so bright,
it shattered the darkness
that once consumed my inner being.

(With your love, you dipped deep within the well of my soul,
shining a light so bright
it shattered the darkness
that once consumed my inner being.)



Edit:
Stimulating a feeling
that went wayward.
Tumbling endlessly down
a pit of darkness.

(Stimulating a feeling
that went wayward,
tumbling endlessly down
a pit of darkness.)



Edit:
Bringing forth a warmth and glow
that had been smothered;
Gasping for life,
quenching its’ insatiable thirst.
(Bringing forth a warmth and glow
that had been smothered
gasping for life,
quenching its’ insatiable thirst.)



Edit:
And for that, I am Unconditionally Yours.
(And for that, I am unconditionally yours.)

Well done; thank you for this wonderful poem with us.

Review of To my friend ...  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
I find, you have done a nice job; I liked this poem you have composed in the form of a Naani and you have fulfilled the requirement, the prompt, writing the poem about friendship, for the Writer’s Cramp, I enjoyed the read.



It is a good concept, as you have mentioned, that your friend is your soulmate and significantly, you and your friend dance in each other’s light.



Title of the poem is significant but, I think, it is neither appropriate nor catchy; I find, the poem is purely about your friend and about the state of friendship and there is no mention about anything that you refer to your soulmate or friend, in case you are addressing your friend and telling all these about your friend, I may assume the title appears appropriate but again, there is no mention anywhere that the poem you are speaking to or addressing to your friend, but in case, alternatively, it is a dedication, as you have not mentioned anywhere, it may be appropriate, again I cannot think about the same, as you have mentioned in the poem that both of you – twin flames dancing in each other’s light; further, I think, it is not even like an ode.



Edit:
To my friend ...
(To My Friend)



Just I have offered an edit in the bracket as above.



Well done; thank you for sharing this Naani poem with us.

How?


Well, you have done a good job; I liked your poem and enjoyed the read.



You have expressed the story nicely; you have narrated his position rightly, he wishes to help you free because he is guided by light while you are stuck in chains, and truly, it is not easy, I mean, as you mention, it is impossible to help you as you wish for you are controlled by darkness, and you are stuck in chains, so he cannot help you even if you wish and he is willing.



You have clarified the point about making one free, a general matter has specific impossibility of compliance and activation; moreover, the point is clear, since he is a bird, though you have not clarified your status; in this point, the claim is absurd, I think, again, assuming you a man, it is unwise to think of expecting yourself unstuck from chains, a bird cannot do it, even if you wish or expect to get yourself unstuck at the help of the bird.



You have put the readers in a dilemma to decide anything rightly, and by not clarifying the point, you have allowed readers to ponder over.



Title of the poem is appropriate.



Well done; thank you for sharing this nice poem with us.

OMG! How nice! You have done a fantastic job; I liked the poem; I enjoyed the alliterations, the story, taletelling, imagery, stunning word visuals, and the read.



I see, you have a nice dream, and you wish to express your inner love so desperately and you want to write your love stories with your breath.



Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy, as I have enjoyed the mystic flavour in the title.



Your wishes and conditions of letting him (your lover) go are though desperate, everything you think and wish to do in dreams, where one is free to do anything and everything in a dreamful state and in dreamy environment, though sometime, not always, one may dream as per one’s wishes, thoughts or dreams.



You have successfully attempted to express your dreams in a dreamful state of expression of your inner love.



Edit:
I'd love to sleep in the desert tonight, with a million stars around...
is it a dream, or will it come true?

(I'd love to sleep in the desert tonight, with a million stars around.
Is it a dream, or will it come true?)



Edit:

I let you go,
Like the cycle wheel, rust encrusted, between the blades of grass and lead to
Other star mapped nights, other scarlett bedspreads, other words dropping like glass in the wind
on phantom summer nights,
I let you die quietly,
And write our stories with your breath.

Here you are, you are the sufferer, you feel pains, you know how all happened, you have alleged changes, you have experienced his ill-treatment, bad behaviour and unethical term of keeping relation with you, now you have decided to press forward and find your way to a solution, and you wish to do everything alone.



You have done a nice job; this is a good work of poem has free flow of thoughts, and I have enjoyed the taletelling, the story of suffering, simple expression, and the read.



Title of the poem is appropriate, if not catchy.

Edit:
Changes riddle life
They bring pain;
Some, uncomfortable growing pains
Others, an amputation of what was.
My life stands at a crossroads
It is not perfect.
In fact, it is crumbling around me.
I dig for strength
And battle waves of depression
That threaten my sanity.
My marriage is over.
We are on different pages
My husband says;
But I wonder if this is mid life crisis
Or a culmination of unhappiness
That has chiseled away at us
For many of our years.
He has never felt like my soul mate;
I have never been completely comfortable
Being myself around him.
In fact, I quiet my usual exuberance
When we are around my family
So as not to offend or upset.
He does not always get my sense of humour
My wit is often met a look
That tells me I make no sense
To him.
Why did I come this way?
Was it pressure to conform
To expectations of society
Or did I really think
I was in love?
Now I must press forward
And find my way...
Alone.

Review of To Be Defended  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Fair pleading!



OMG! You are truly a teacher poet, and you know how to plead, particularly self-pleading, in this poem, you have performed your role advocating your thoughts, genius and ability to express (to speak and to write) yourself in a fair square, all the way, mentioning others’ attitudes and comments upon your persona, attitude, and particularly your mode of speaking, and or art of writing (style of expression in words).



You have clarified the situation, environment and state in which you grew up, and you have already hinted how struggling life events you have been making and facing, and mentioned the situations and circumstances in which you are bound to speak and write the way you can and do as per your original stand of living maintaining the style you know, follow and maintain.



You have highlighted amply, you have no other alternatives but to live as you do and as such you keep and upkeep or maintain the style and art of speaking and writing, as you bother not what others feel about your such impelling and unavoidable art and style of expressions.



You know, as you have amply experienced to feel, why and how a few people comment upon your original art and style of speaking and writing.



You have pleaded your stand well and stated how awfully you do maintain such personality and such an art and style of expression in words spoken and written.



Rather, at the end you have challenged all those who severely comment badly about your style and art of speaking and writing, stating that you are not going to change in your order or style and or art of expression as you love your own original art and style of expression.



I think, you always try much to take up, add, consider and take help of different subjects in course of speaking and or writing as a result, somewhere, truly speaking, I do feel so, you seem detracted from the theme or main point, or part and as such people often misunderstand you or dislike your term of high amplification of a subject with diverse subjective issues taking into consideration to prove your realm of wisdom in all the matters, though you express yourself clearly with amplification and additional viewpoint added to each issue you use in course of your writing and speaking.




In a word, you ever write straightforward, point blank, straight, fast, with use of many professional jargon, that is the part of your art and style of expression.




My favourite lines of the poem:
Two
In the head
One
In the face
To be defended
In life
As well as in death
These words remain




I liked much the following lines of the poem:
The gift of a poet
Is the curse of life
Because living like this
Like I once did
Made irrelevant
By the voices
Calling back to me
Saying your words
Are poison
And your mind
Is toxic
You should die




Title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.



Well done; thank you for sharing this biographical poem with us.

Review of A Woman

She’s your mother!


Wonderful!



Indeed, you have done a job, so simply and naturally, I liked the work of poem, and enjoyed the story, soft taletelling, free and flair flow of words, soft imagery, and the read.



I enjoyed the approach, tone, diction, use of words, partial rhymes, simple art and style of expression, all the way; and it was a pleasant and lovely read.



Her attitude, persona, cause of love and addressing her mother give readers a candid and lovable or lovely feeling of a mother and child relation of eternal and unconditional love.



Title of the poem is appropriate and significant and a bit catchy because the title hooked me to read the poem instantly, though there are privacy and secrecy (in description) and presentation of the theme that I liked much.



Edit:
There's a woman who I love so much,
Who suffered like so many
She kept her faith and fought the fight
Until there wasn't any.

She's gentle yet she's strong inside
She's always there to guide
Her love is always faithful
Her arms are open wide

There's a woman who I love so much
Who is not like any other
She has a name I do not call,
Because I call her "mother "

Honest reviewing!



You have done a fine, profitable and real job for guiding a reviewer to perform the job of reviewing honestly and justifiably.



You have very logically provided guidelines how to make the job of reviewing with rating honestly, even when a reviewer does not like the work to be reviewed or when the reviewer is bound to or compelled to write a review on such work as prescribed or given by the group with which the reviewer is associated, or when a reviewer is to write a review in association with a group the reviewer belongs to.



The steps you have suggested for consideration in course of offering reviews with rating are nicely listed, as you have mentioned what are the special and or general matter or content of the work to be checked and considered well, twice, or minutely before rating the work appropriately; because writing a review with a poor rating may not only put the reviewer in trouble but also the group with which he is associated and an author after getting poor rating (as every author or writer thinks that he is not rated honestly or justifiably, even if reasons for awarding poor rate of the work is given by a reviewer in the review), a writer may go for blocking the reviewer or take any other action against the reviewer.



As you have suggested it clearly that a reviewer should do the job of reviewing honestly, fairly, soberly, justifiably, logically, reasonably, scientifically or professionally and the job of reviewing with rating should not appear to be attacking or harassing an author; as such wherever feasible, or possible, rational as it deems, a reviewer should try to rate a work considering all the aspects of the work under review properly in order to help the author, to guide the author, to make the author feel rating is justifiable or appropriate.



I liked and enjoyed the read, and find the essay helpful to all the reviewers and I have enjoyed the structure, tone of expression, use of language, art and presentation and above all, the taletelling feature of the essay.


Though, I find, there are so many points not covered in the essay, but briefly, only the important factors have been taken into consideration for offering guidelines to the reviewers in general.



Well done; thank you for sharing this essay with us.

Review of A Lakeside View  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Fantastic!


You have done a nice job; it was a pleasant read; I liked the poem, a poem of serenity, a poem of a lakeside view, a poem of viewing nature’s beauty; I enjoyed the free flow of thoughts, a clear and silent view of the lakeside, fantastic imagery, soft and sound word visuals, and the read.



In the enjoyable view, there is crystal clear water reflection, deep and blue sky, cotton wool clouds, the trees, breeze of the springtime, fish eludes the angler, calling of duck, drifting boat, all in the view of the scene make a beautiful atmosphere with sound, colour and moving and other objects.



The title of the poem is appropriate, significant and catchy.



Edit:
I gaze across this wonderful spectacle of nature's beauty
And marvel at the clarity of this moment
The crystal clear water reflects like a mirror,
That deep blue sky perforated only by cotton wool clouds,
And the trees in the distance , shimmer in tiny ripples
As they sway in the warm spring breeze,
The tell-tale "plop" and ringlets of dispersed water
Signify another fish has eluded the angler
Waiting patiently, silently in his drifting boat
A duck call pierces the silence of this idyllic setting
As I sit here, dreaming, I peer into the sparkling depths
And reflect, like the Lake, on my days drifting by.

Truly, this is a nice job that you have done by heart; I liked and enjoyed the rhymes, free flow of thoughts, history about making the nation, the story of achievement of independence, celebration of independence day, formation of the nation, glory about the stars and stripes, and the read; I find this is a poem of patriotism, a poem of glory of nation.



You have shown there are reasons of feeling pride for the nation, and her flag, and pride and joy in celebration of the Independence Day.



Title of the poem is metaphorically appropriate and significant, but, I think, as I read, the title is not catchy.
