Review of Again Last Night  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
I just loved it, It is short, but it carries such a depth of emotion and touches the heart straight away. The pain and the regret is most apparant. The love is clear. Should that have been 'than' not 'then' line six - I love you more than in the dream? keep at it

Review of Everyday  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.0)
I assume you meant angels, and not angles. I like the ides, but not sure if the repetitive word word so well. Sometimes less frequent repetition works better, especially as you changed the repetition patteren at the end. I did not feel that the ending was powerful enough, and I certainly was not led there.
Good luck

Nice poem. I liked it. I liked the imagery and the magic.

Good work. Keep writing

Review of His Last Battle  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Hey, pretty powerful story, I really liked it and it worked for me. the tension and drama were all there and captured well. I liked the way it ended, and the last line, ' the war is finally over; fantastic way to finish this story, as it can have a number of different meanings. so why not call it, War is over. a bit like that John Lennon song.
keep writing.

Review of PTSD  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (3.5)
Hi nice sentiment. Couple of thoughts about improvement for you to consider. Line two might be better as, there is nothing to see. And how about, they gave terror a name. I think better puntiatoon in a couple of places would help for example line 5 from the bottom should be slower case y
And the 4th line should be a lower case a.
Good luck with the writing

Good Poem. Many years ago I worked in a psychiatric hospital and wore a white coat and carried a bunch of keys. In retrospect that was the worst environment for the most vulnerable people, THis is so accurate and reads well. I can picture the place and the fear,.

well done - keep writing

Hey, this read as a nice little ditty, I could imagine it as part of compilation in a childrens book, with pictures. Very vivid imagery and nice sounding rhymes with a bit of a moral. I think something to make it a little more funny/silly would enhance it greatly. well done and keep writing

Review of Fugitive Song  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Nice lyrics SamK. can almost hear them to the sound of a guitar, They scan well and tell a good little story. I would try changing the last line in verse three to read - gave me no reason to smile. and sort of stretch the smiiillle. Also I guess the last word is meant to be soar.

good, stuff, keep writing

I kliked this bit of wrting. it is very evocative and I could almost feel the emptiness, So I guess it works well. The only bit I wondered about was the - 'like it’s a religion'. I am not sure that worked well, and to me was the weakest bit, some other metaphor is required that fits better, I think. How about Huddles around it like there is no tommorrow... any way only opinion. Keep writing.,

Review of Through the Storm  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.5)
Laugh out loud. Very funny I thought, I did get a little lost in the narrative as to what was going on and had to really concentrate to read it. Also I think it should be Uncle M's and not the way that you have written it, i.e Uncles's M's. Anyway, keep writing.

Review of Metaphors  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
Hey, nice lyrics, I could not quite figure out the tune or the rytham, but I really like the words and the phrases that you have used throughout, they lift these lyrics from a run of the mill type pop to more substantial rock, with some depth and meaning to it . well done

Very emotional and nice poem. The sort you might find in a card, Usually these poems are about mothers, rarely do mothers write like this for their sons. The love you feel comes through very clearly, and the poem is very heartfelt. It is obviously very personal and structurally can not be faulted.

Review of Yesterday  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.5)
Very nice little short poem I am no expert so cannot comment on the structure. But the poem wa svery evocative. I guess the best test of a poem is n ot did it follow the rules, but did it move t he reader, did it connect with the reader and did it trigger an emotional response. I can say this poem did all three. near perfect. well done

Review of The Unpaved Road  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi . I liked this verse. It is very striking and the imagary captures the nine to five rat race that many are caught in as life and time just passess by far to quickly, while planning and waiting to do the things you want to do. I like the line ; ¨this tie is choking" very true and a very good use of this phrase as literally choking the life out of the person. lovely ending, Does he dream too much, or not enough

Hi, Very nice story, it developed and unfolded well> i have given you some specific comments as well. I think you need to pay more attention to grammer and structure. It was a little difficult to follow at times. Also, do not start sentences with And. If you are using an and, it should really be a comma as the sentence has not finished. for example it should be comma, and we always kill the seer. Hope that helps. Good story though

Excellent poem. I loved it. The metaphor you use are so invocative. Allowing the reader to interpret it's meaning. For me this was the daily slog in a capitalist society. Others would obviously read it differently. The last line of the first verse should be no, not. Know. Keep writing

Review of Music of Life  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)
Nice verse. Very evocative. You seem to have captured the synergy between melody and nature exceptionally well. I wonder if you could have made it more personal, for example music is the breath heartbeat and rytham of (my$ life. And so on, That may have enhanced the mood. Good work. Keep writing

Review of Batteries  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.5)
Very funny little rhyme, I liked it, short and snappy and to the point, However if you are going to make reference to Dr Zuess then I think you should expand this a lot more so there is lots of verse in the similar style, you could go through each of the battery sizes
Very funny. well don

Great story, with a great twist. When you introduced the android it was totally unexpected that I had to read it again. Then the story made sense. Despite the mechanicals It also actually conveyed some really feeling and emotion. I think Asmiov would have been impressed. Well done and keep up the good work

Review of The Tower  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Hey Henry. Execellent. I really enjoyed what you have written, You have been able to capture the mood perfectly, remineded me of the original Gothic fiction of Shelly and Byron. The dreamlike state that you have created is so on target. and the symbolism really adds depth and intellegence to the story. Sometimes, symbols can become a distraction, but these are used so well

Keep on rockin'

Review of Mama, I love you  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hey, Pretty good little story, perhaps the ending was a little corny. The letter expecially. I think that the conclusion needs to unfold differentlt, the letter is almost a lazy tool to short cut the story and fill in the gaps. Maybe the story could have been interspesed with extracts from the letter.
Keep on writing.

Review of Red Confusion  Open in new Window.
Review by satnam88 Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Good story and good concept. Descriptive account of the snow and the cold. the uncertainty and confusion of being dead comes across well. The story is gripping and I wanted to read more. I think that that some of the dialogue could be sharpened up. It just seems so ordinary, unless that was your intention. Well done
