Awesome story! I am so glad you could help her heal herself like that! Sometimes the results of s simple act of kindness can lead you to find a beautiful treasure. It sounds like her creations were only a part of the treasure she found because of your kindness!

Awesome story! I like the main character! A lot more than i thought i would at first. At first i almost hated her for keeping the rich rich. Then the meeting about the cartel showed how upright and honorable she was. That is a great deal of character growth/ presentation for such a short story. On the way through the story to the end more and more is revealed about her character. It is a deep and nuanced story. I did get a little confused about the two characters names maybe i lost focus reading or maybe you slipped up. Any way around it you should double check that it is clear which is speaking when. Overall i would read it again.

That's creepy., and a definite lesson for anyone stupid enough to mess with the forces of darkness. It is well written. I would try highlighting the prompt words by bolding them so the reader can see them, since I wanted to see how successful you were with the prompt. I think I caught them but...

The first thing this poem made me think of were the poems that strike almost fully formed in the twilight thoughts right before you fall asleep. The kind that beg you to write them down but you pay them on the hand and assure them that you will remember them in the morning and then give in to sleep. Morning comes and the have evaporated into a lingering mist. Unable to recall them, you make a silent promise never to let it happen again.

That is a vivid poem. Appreciate the skill with which you put it together. It is relatively short yet it tells a complete story of a lovely spring day. I know this was a writer's cramp entry. Might I suggest a drop or pop note with a link to the cramp, date, prompt, and the fact that you won. Those are all things you might want to remember later.

THat was truely creepy. It was a slow but predictable creep. I still hit me with a thump as I read the note even though I felt something like that coming. Like it but not exactly it. There is one thing double check that your spelling of Shawn is consistent through the story, it felt like the spelling in the last paragraph was a mistake.

Ahh- mazing it is the best blend of poetry and prose that I have read here or anywhere else. It would be interesting if you put some information on how you wrote it, what inspired it and how long it took into a drop or pop note to satisfy my curiosity.

Nice!!! I loved it. It started a little ominously in a cliche way, but the way the story built to a conclusion that brought them both a sense of peace was wonderful and balanced for me. I liked the characters. It was a bummer the uncle was a murderer.

I found this poem sad. I feel bad for the astronaut. It must be terrifying to just be floating away with no hopes of rescue. I definitely could not handle being an astronaut, I am terrified of heights and you really can not go much higher than outer space. Good poem! It made me feel things and think about things that is the best kind of poem.

I love it. I was worried it would be about cockroaches from the gig I could not quite make out the insects in it. But ants working together, your butt is going to be thoroughly kicked. Then they are coming after the rest of us and there is not enough ant and roach spray to save the world!

That was gross and creepy! Weird with a capital ewe. So what the spider climbed inside him and hijacked his body? Or is he just insane? Very Kafkaesque story. It was unpleasant but I couldn't look away. He ate? Was his lunch meeting with the clerk perhaps?

Cute little poem. I think the information on the form is helpful in understanding it, but the fact that the information takes up more space than the actual poem is irritating to me. I would put that information in a pop note or drop note title a note on the form. That way I feel I would have more of an opportunity to digest the raw poem before getting into the how and why of it.

Awesome. As usual. That had real shades of the stand. It oozed the supernatural out the seams. It made me wonder what gift the dark man had stolen from her. Is the neighbor okay? Was the dream just a dream? That bit got a little fuzzy for me. I do not know if that kind of thing was part of the boy's power.

These are some interesting characters. I think the cop is sweet on him. Having given the why of that obsession such weight I would be interested in a clearer explanation of just why they are obsessed but instead you go into the next heist with no resolution. And if the heists are so difficult and dangerous I think you need to go deeper into that

This is a short poem. It is a silly one. I do not see much poetic value in futons. As I do not see much intrinsic value in a futon. They are neither couch nor bed and really are not good at being either. They are lumpy and uncomfortable. But this poem does not criticize that only the crappy color. That is potential poetic drama missed.

Whoa, twisted and turned at every pathway. A multi level ghost story with ghosts haunting each other. It had so many twists that I am surprised it was so easy to follow. I really feel for the main character. He is so distraught and finds no relief from it. Only more depressing fate.

This is a good poem about the discomfort of sudden loss. It does not target just one loss. It talks the spectrum of them. I do not think it leaves out a single possible relationship that can end. It talks about the difference in the pain between them. Not a difference in severity just a difference in tone.

Oh what a great poem. Has she read it? It is heart tugging. It was so sweet it almost made me cry. My breath caught in my throat reading the sincerity in it. I don't think I could have captured the sentiment as well as you have. For me the last line was powerful and gave me chills. Needless to say I liked this poem!

I liked this entry. It was just as serious and as funny as it purported itself to be. That was a hard line to balance on. I didn't like that the people were reduced to initials and nicknames it did take away from the serious nature of the piece. It was well formatted and easy to swallow.

What a nice sentiment. I definitely needed to read this. It reminded me that even when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed mornings can still be beautiful as long as you are open to it. A couple of rhymes were a stretch between not so much that they interfered with the flow. Nice job and thank you.

I like the way the recipe is featured in the story. It is referenced clearly but not shoved unnecessarily on the reader. It is key to the story, the payoff at the end. The idea of a special birthday meal is a cool one. The transition between getting picked up and arriving at theeal is a little confusing. I couldn't tell it they went to a movie or not. It need a bit more situational description .

I think this is a lovely poem. A bit cats in the cradle for me but that is a valid theme. I don't see it as needing polish. It's shiny the way it is. Wome of the rhythm is off in favor of keeping the rhymes. The last rhyme is a slight miss but works for me.

This is a cute humorous tale. I like the jock getting taken a cut lower for oggeling the girl. Just out of curiosity how many doughnuts were consumed. While I get the message that eating doughnuts is less dangerous than jogging, there isn't the promised balance if you are more than two.

Short but potent little poem. I like the simplicity of it. Sometimes people feel like they have to use flowery obscure poetie words. I like hat you've done using simple every day words. You've eli ated the words and the subject for me in doing this. The one thing I would suggest is to put the picture of a nice quiet pond as the cover for this. It would show up in the box on the upper left of the poem. You can do this by editing the item and selecting from the stock available pictures. It would add a touch of visual stimulation to wour word pictures.

THat is cool, was this for a contest? if it was might I suggest you link the contest and the prompt in a pop note or drop note. It seems like something that would fit with a contest prompt I read recently so you might go looking if you weren't writing this for that. It is that good.
