This is a story about a family. I love the quirkish normalcy of it. There are more siblings in this family than I had and grandparents that I didn't have but the overall tone made me feel like I was growing up with them too and it was all the normalest of the norm.

Firstly I would suggest you change one of your genres to fantasy. it is more appropriate than contest entry or other. It would also help set up reader's expectations. That said it is a lovely story about a fantastical world. I love the shape-shifting little boy.

This makes the groundhog quite the sympathetic victim of false notoriety. Poor thing wants a girlfriend and they are yanking him around to "judge" the weather for the next six weeks. I really feel for this poor creature. It is a cool poem and reminds me only slightly of the movie. I would like to think that Bill Murray went through what he did because the groundhog cursed them all.

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)
I like most of it but I think it would flow slightly better if you changed conceals to concealed read aloud it just doesn't sound right. I love the images and the metaphors. I wish I wrote this little beauty. was this for a contest? If it wasn't you should see if any would fit it.

The poem is good and I really like the first two parts but the last reads kind of awkwardly. The structural parameters are probably why so I won't entirely fault the poet. Maybe something could have been done differently but it is overall a good poem.

Kaleb sounds like a cute and precocious child. The things kids say are often surprisingly wise for their age. My nephew is developmentally delayed, he is six and is only just starting to ask these questions. I love him to death but some of his questions are darn near impossible to answer.

Review of Dawn

Short but sweet. It is a surprisingly complex take on dawn given the simple vocabulary. It is almost childlike, in a good way. Everyone can follow and understand this poem, even a child, yet it very much has an appeal even to mature readers. I love this poem.

Review of THE CLIFF  
Review by Sox and Sandals

Rated: E | (3.5)
Some of the word choices were awkward. I am not thinking the nor's fit in the last two stanzas. The first stanza could be reworked too. It reads like roses are red violets are blue- too trite for such a serious subject. it seems off key. It doesn't follow the rest of the poem it sets up expectations that thankfully arent filled by the rest of the poem.

Whoa, this is a well-thought-out parody! You went the whole distance. You could have stopped with the first stanza and I would have been impressed, but you went the whole distance!!! I love most of the word choices a couple of the rhymes are a bit of a stretch but it is perfectly acceptable given the power of the poem.

This is a very interesting poem with a strong rhyme scheme that makes perfect sense when you get to the last line. I like the way it builds to that twist of an ending. It made me chuckle when I got there and also made me wonder if I could write a similar poem about ruby red squirt.

My sister and I are fairly poorly estranged too. She is a strict bible belting Christian and I am in a same-sex marriage. SHe won't really bend to meet me halfway she doesn't even bother to try to save my soul anymore. I hate to hear when other people have such a rift in their families, I know how much it hurts.

This is a beautiful picture and an even more beautiful memory shared. I wish the world were more like this picture. Smiles, because of diversity not in spite of it. Nobody accusing anybody else of prejudices just because of how they look. Nobody judging anybody else. Just happy honest smiles. That is what we need more of...

We lost teenie this last october. She was a rescue and had a hard life in her ten or more years before us. We made her last five as good as we could but things had caught up to her and she just didn't need to be in so much pain anymore. Her meds stopped working and she couldn't get around anymore. Losing a pet is hard.

I like the message of this poem but some of the rhymes were a bit of a stretch they require a suspension of grammar that's okay though I like the message don't give up. first the poem describes the depression point of giving up then it gives reasons you shouldn't.

Review of ARE YOU A TEEN?  
Review by Sox and Sandals
In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
this is an interesting poem about the teenage years in the first stanza I feared it was just going to go stereotyping them but through the poem it made note of just how different teens could be from shy to mean, bullies to artistic or the bullied. I like the poem and feel it is just the right length.

Review of A Mask to Wear  
Review by Sox and Sandals

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a good story explaining why masks are important. It is written well, but it seems like it is for a more adult audience. Billy's voice and character are conflictingly both too mature for the argument to work and naive enough to accept what little argument is presented to him. I really couldn't place this at an audience level.

Needs run through a grammar checker. I like the story so far but some of the minor grammatical mistakes did distract me. I think something like Grammarly could catch them for you and it would help a lot. I like the characters. You could do a little more to set the scenes off separately a little better and clarify the pov character a little better.

Lovely poem I think it is a pretty good example of the form, slightly mutated of course. The refrain brings literal images to my mind and I can see the scenes described because of it. I think the form and subject of the poem really go well together.

What a wonderful story of a life spent together. I like the way gifts are personal and handmade. That's how we do it too. It is going to be twelve years for us in January. it takes a lot to keep things together that long, congratulations.

This story of the nativity takes it from a slightly different angle than I have heard, read, or seen before. It asks how mary felt first holding her son, the messiah. I hadn't thought about it but she had been told who her son was ahead of time so... yeah I think she would be a little anxious about her responsibilities.

It is a beautiful word picture. I can see it very clearly. I feel the crispness of the air. The silence of nature is a natural Christmas carol. I love the way nature has its own Christmas celebration. The purity of the snow is a perfect embodiment of the Christmas idea.

I heard you were fourteen. This doesn't read like a teenaged expression of self. This reads like someone who has put a lot of effort and time into discovering themselves than that. The formatting does show youth a little and definite inexperience with WDC methods of posting. I think this piece could be divided into three distinct paragraphs and I recommend putting extra returns between them for ease of reading. So break your arguments into your main points and organize the paragraphs around those points and you'll have a really powerful and convincingly written essay. Remember to pound home your conclusion in the final paragraph.

I love this playful rendition of a rainstorm. It screams spring and is overall highly enjoyable. It is also very passionate and romantic I like the line
Aroused drops tango on the window pane,
it has an energy and a flow and a rhythmic pattern just like a spring rainstorm for me.

By the way, congratulations on being my 1000th public review.

I love the contrast of the two sisters I like that the white one doesn't sleep at night does that mean she sleeps through the day. is she there to protect us from her sister's dark nature at night or does her sister stay awake all day? interesting form as well.

spiritual freedom isn't always something people find. spirituality really does mean more to one when you come to it on your own rather than having it forced down your throat with your mother's milk. You most likely will believe like your parents do, but you shouldn't have to. How do you know when you find truth if you aren't allowed to examine what you have found.
