Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem. This is extremely emotion filled. I also like the language that you have chosen to use - it is straight forward and honest. The last line really struck me - I have really enjoyed reading this poem - great work!
This is a very personal piece of writing and I applaud you for presenting it on a public forum and being so candid about it. This is a also a great love story! Thank you for sharing this - you have written this in such a manner that anyone who reads it will feel the emotions that you felt.
You have been working incredibly hard on this novel! I only had a chance to read chapters one and two, but I was impressed. You have great characters, a lot of action and a good use of words. You should be proud - keep working on it and I will check back later to see how it is going!
I get it - roaches, right? The mist is bug spray? Or am I way off - that's the way I read it, but it didn't "click" until the end (hopefully that's what you were aiming for). A different point of view, I must say. Very interesting, though - makes you think of bug spray in an entirely different manner.
Yes - some else's little neuorses can definitely cause another to become crazy! You have worded this so well and it is a humorous little piece. Thanks for sharing this logic - it's possible to write logic and include a little bit of humor in it at the same time!
This reminds me of a quote I once heard about virtue - "Virtue isn't virtue until it's slammed up against vice". Often those that think they are virtuous tout their virtue in order to hide their flaws and exaggerate their "good" traits - see - you've done it again to me - shame on you, making me think like this!
I love your logic! Everytime I read one of your pieces, I find myself analyzing our little "daily sayings" the way that you do - you have encouraged me to think in such a different way about the everyday. Thank you for opening a new way of writing and thinking to me!
Excellent work! I am an English teacher and I can agree with you about one thing - the "basics" are no longer taught. To be a good writer, you need to have an underlying understanding of how the English language (or whatever language you are writing in) works. A creative writing teacher needs to focus on these aspects and help their students develop the skills to recognize how to apply basic English skills to writing.
This is a touching poem. You have captured pure emotion in the words that you have chosen. I think that you have done a great job in choosing the style of poetry - I like the free form style much better for love poetry than a rhyming style - it isn't as forced and you can let the words flow. Great work!
Thank you for providing links for Aspies - I teach several students with Asperger's and there is so much misinformation that is out there about it. I think that this is an area that needs so much more research in order to help clear up misdiagnosis. Thanks!
Thank you for providing this. You have definitely given the reader something to reflect upon. These words can translate to anyone and are worth reading. Thank you again for providing this - I like the fact that you are willing to share your beliefs and thoughts with the writing.com community.
Thank you for providing this article. You wrote this article in a consise and informational manner, but you also let your opinion be known in a respectful way. To many, the only thing they got out of the G8 summit was the concerts - you have opened many eyes with this -
You present your opinions in a very well written manner. You provided information and links to support what you have written about. Most importantly, you do not put down the other side or use language that is abusive or hateful. You have done an extremely well done job here.
You offer such great ways to pass on the word about Writing.com. I am so glad I found this site and will use of the techniques that you describe above to help spread the word, especially using Writing.com as a link in order to up the chances it will come up in a search. Thanks so much for sharing!
You have a well crafted article here. You are able to write about a sensitive issue with the candor and straight-forwardness of a professional reporter. You use language that is easy to understand, but you don't underplay the importance of what you are writing. Great work!
This is an article that will come in handy to so many reviewers - both new and old! Reviewing helps not only the author, but also the reviewer as you stated. The reviewer learns how to look in detail at the written word and figure out how best to convey the message they are trying to get across. Great article!
You have a well written article here. You have provided the information in a non-biased manner and it is very straight forward. You have also written it in a style that is easy to read and understand, yet gets the important points across to the reader. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this - you have provided some good information in this article. I notice just a few things:
Walking over he looked at me and asked the one question he would dread for the rest of the morning: "who are you flying with and where to?" "Who are you flying with and where to?"
The excerpt above is probably the reason the average person does not fly their pet anywhere in the continental united states or abroad. Capitalize United States
Suddenly the woman behind the counter looked up and asked "where is your export documents?" I looked at her with a look of astonishment and asked "what export documents?" Capitalize Where and What
Is he going on the plane with you or as cargo. Change the period to a question mark
Looking him in the eye I said I'm not paying $20 per cart, that's $60 for one trip. Add quotations from "I'm not . . one trip."
This is a great informational piece - you have provided a lot of information here that is valuable to those who will be travelling with animals.
I like the logic that you use here - especially the middle part about borrowing attention and losing interest. Reminds me of a quote that I once heard -
"time is money, but money can't buy time". You have expanded the maxim out nicely and added some interesting twists!
This is a wonderful tribute poem. I think that you have expressed the most important thing to remember when a loved one passes away - it is so much more important to remember the good times that you had with the person rather than the bad times. I am sure that all that have read this poem have felt a little bit better after reading it.
This poem is sweet, simple and to the point. You reflect upon God in nature in a way that isn't overly religious or self important, but pure and simple. I enjoyed reading this piece - I am truly in awe of your talent and your poetry! I hope to read more of your port (probably all of it!)
The last line of this poem is so true - "if only" really are the saddest words. You have such a talent for writing poetry that is personal and reflective, but also sheds light on problems and emotions that many people feel. You present them in a delicate and sensitive manner that makes an impact on the reader.
I want to first applaud you for being a foster parent - it takes a great deal of compassion and love to open your heart and home to a child in need. I hope that you were able to work with her and help her heal her wounds that were holding her back. Again, thank you for sharing a personal piece.
This is also how I deal with anger - by writing. It's so much easier, I think, for women to truly express what they are feeling when they write down what is going on within them. I am guessing this was written either in anger or upon reflection of a recent fight. Either way, it is a good way of letting the anger out in a productive manner!
The way that you are able to use abstract images and words to describe what is happen to the man with Alzheimers is both clever and caring. You are able to capture the feelings of the wife (your sister) who sees her husband turning into someone else, but she can still see him underneath. A wonderful piece.
