Dear Bekah Aura

What a fantastic contest. I wanted to donate to your cause because I think it's wonderful to see a contest encouraging poets to try the various poetry forms available. I also love your idea of giving both a prompt and a free direction for the contest. I gives us writers a chance to spread our wings a little with the prompt giving us a warmup and confidence to try our own matter.

I'll be watching and entering your contest and I hope my donation means there will be many more to come. *Smile*
Have fun and keep writing.

Yours truly,
Rebecca Laffar-Smith

Review of US 16  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Dear Eliot

Eerie, I don't think I'd like being alone on the dark roads once the sun goes down. You manage to put a great deal of imagery and emotion into your poems with as few words as is needed. That's a great accomplishment.

Have fun and keep writing.
Yours truly,

Review of Fear at Midnight  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
Dear Eliot

Mmmm, always an important question but the truth is a child shouldn't feel he needs to be the one standing guard to begin with. That's what adults are for. *Smile* Anyway, you know what I've noticed about the poems in this folder now I think about what you probably read in my "Mental Meanderings? No tortured youth. Each of your poems seemed fairly upbeat. Noticing life and nature and accepting of your place in the world.

If you wrote a letter to yourself at age 15 would it be full of inspiring, 'stay strong', 'life is not so bad' messages? Or would you be one of the rare gems who can look back and reminisce on happy times?

I've had a wonderful time browsing this folder, and will be back. I know, said that at the end of the last review *Wink* But it's true and this time I'm getting off the computer so it doesn't mean in five minutes, lol.

Have fun and keep writing.
Yours truly,

Review of Journalist 3am  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Dear Eliot

Very nicely written. Compact and to the point, just enough words to capture a crisp thought and put it on the page in all it's glory. That really is the true are of poetry I believe.

I can't really relate the poem to the title except by the connection of the description. The poem itself doesn't really have anything to do with journalists of journalism. It could be confusing to readers who are often just scanning titles for something good to read.

Thank you for another delightful poem. I've enjoyed my stroll through your port and will definately back sometime soon. Have fun and keep writing.

Yours truly,
Rebecca Laffar-Smith

Dear Eliot

Interesting, but it doesn't capture the writer. I get an impression of a school project or a prompt poem here that was written out of necessity not out of heart. Of course, that's just a first impression and I might be way off.

More wonderful images and the simile is marvellous. Thanks so much for sharing this poem with me, I enjoyed reading it very much. Have fun and keep writing.

Yours truly,

Dear Eliot

This poem conjures some appealing images and a soft mist of emotion that tends to match the mood of the night. I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for visiting my port and for pointing me in the direction of this folder.

You really wrote this at 15 years of age? It is exceptional for such a young poet. My own poems at that age were immature, undeveloped, horrid scraps that I wish I could use as toilet paper (but alas they'll remain safely stored on a hidden away computer archive.) Wonderful writing, have fun and keep writing.

Yours truly,
Rebecca Laffar-Smith

I love this article, it is interesting an informative and told me so much about the details in Extended Statistics and how that information can help me evaluate my items acceptance to the public, how well it is being promoted and gives ideas how best to promote the item in the future.

I very much appreciate the time it must have taken to write such a details article and thank you whole-heartedly. I am sure I am not the only who found this article enlightnening.

Thank you so much.
