~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~ Hey Crow, your poem "LOOKING AT A PLACE I KNEW" Open in new Window.
I'm looking at a place I knew,
When time was young, and years were few. (touching young memories of things lost in the past. I take a sigh here and this is what drew me in.) I often look back on those times. ~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~
As I think, it doesn't seem that long,
But the grass is paved, and the fence is gone. (Time changes everything. We and only we have the picture of what it was, but time changes the picture that other eyes see.)

It must be that the workmen came, just the other day;
They felled the cherry tree, and the houses went away.(Workmen with an assignment to demolish the past. When we have moved house and the new occupants tear down our world and build their own dreams.)

~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~
Did they notice anything from when I was there,
A skid mark on the sidewalk, a golf ball lying there?( pictures in the mind again, no one can steal them even if they are gone in reality)
~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~
I remember things just as they were,
But a mist often causes the image to blur.
Could that blur be a ghost I see,
Looking for its house, or looking for me? (The ghosts of the past, I can visualise them) ~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~
Maybe it's looking for a place it knew,
When time was young, and years were few.( Just love this from beginning to end. A good write Crow. ~~Image ID# 2030460's Content Rating Exceeds Item Content Rating~~

Review of NOT ENOUGH  Open in new Window.

I know what your saying Andy. I am a people watcher and do smile and sometimes pass a weather comment of the day. Some answer and chat: some look suspiscious; some completly ignore me.
In my yonger days mostly everyone smiled and made the day brighter. I believe that people are just nervous of strangers or being politically correct. I was on an Island of the coast of England last week and went for a walk to watch the sea. Passing a bench an old lady and her husband made a seat for me and I sat down. We chatted for an hour and it was a lovely memory. The couple had been married for fiftyseven years and like us had seen many changes in the way people connect.
It is a sad day when humans don't know how to interact with each other other than the finger talk as in facebook and blogging.

Oh! the sea was amazing and the fresh air intoxifying. I am home now and have caught up on washing and having a nice hot cuppa. *Smile*

Have a nice day Andy.

Gabriella, I often come across someone who has been made a rising star and have looked into your home for rising stars. When I joined writing.com it was a year later when I became active due to an email from a member. So I was a year old when i really joined and often wonder why I was not chosen to be a RS. Call me dumb but I see my other writer friends on your list and think that my writing is not good enough to be there.
am I being ridiculously inferior here? Maybe I should not be expressing how I feel but It makes me wonder.
Please ignore this

Hi Intuey I am reviewing your latest poem "From The Snake Pit" Open in new Window.
Ha! How many times has our good nature got us a smack on the face or having our ideas stolen by some who just suck the life our of others and gain control or take the credit.
Your character is a classic case of the snakes who go through life with no conscience.
Well done a and a great take on the quiet ones who do the snakes dance.

High Intuey, I am reviewing your {item:2079548.
This is an interesting take on suffocation (a child) and dying. To be able to write this must have been experienced.
I know, because I too was told it wasn't my time yet.
The vocabulary chosen here explains perfectly what is happening.

A high-pitch squeal similar to a drill winding down, filled the room.*Checkb*

like an anchor shifting from side-to-side, sinking beneath a deep, black surface.*Checkb*

Well done.
The pace moves forward through what is happening and the reader is watching the scenes open before her.
The angel in lavender flowing gown, all carefully tell the story of what is happening here.

Your choice of title is perfect because the child here is only five.

I can see sweat and exhaustion on the child's pallor changes as she comes back from near death.
Her father's stress levels exploding with fear and relief mixed.

I like how you have written this account of what must have been a traumatising and memorable incident in the character's life. It must/could only have been based on true life. It felt real to me.
thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind.
Alexi *Heart*

Hi Intuey, I am reviewing your poem "Blue Ridge Mountains, High" Open in new Window.
Your title intrigued me to read further. Blue Ridge mountains.
I fell in love with this poem, you brought the trail up the mountain to life with your carefully chosen words. I would have been freaked out at the height.

There's no dirt road to be seen --
only a sheer drop-off, down the
steep mountain's backside.
Perhaps one of the trees will catch us
Still, it adds a wave of thrill-seeking excitement.

Sun sinks low, highlighting patches of trees,
Wisps of breeze bring with it a merriment
of smells: lavender, dogwood and sage.
The moon shine's golden glow sends me
into a quiet reflection.

These two were my favourite and then the inner joy of campfire spontaneous songs and hearty chats bringing with it a potion of sleep.
amazing poem and one to be proud of.
Than you for allowing me into your writer's mind.*Heart*

I don't know if I said when I sent in my poem for consideration but if my poem is part of the anthology then I will surely be ordering the book.

PS I think this is a lovely idea for WDC writers to be together in one volume. I have done this before and it was successful.

Hi Tracey, Your poem "Temper, You're Banished!" Open in new Window. is like a bird picking at the brain. The character is being eaten by the destructive inner voice that whispers, worry about it, go on. The devil will whittle your brain and you will become my servant.

And as it fills its' evil need,
the bitterness spreads to invest. So true and such a trap.

The answer is to trust and obey God. He is the author of tomorrow. We can smile in the face of adversity.

Nice work *Heart*

Hi Carly, I am reviewing your poem. "NaPoWriMo 2016 " Open in new Window.
I like the draw of the title. 'You can choose'

I found this a positive and powerful poem from a character who has had a bat mitzvah. This is a change of life statement.
The character is ready to (bat) away the things that are not positive and accept the positive, learning to make the changes and facing the future with new faith and hope. The bible says that 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, things not yet seen. this is the first step of faith in this characters life which brings hope which eventually brings him/her into the changes that were once just dreams.
A nicely written poem with powerful moves.

This is certainly a night to remember. How proud and special you must feel to have a book launch. It is an important moment in a writers life and deserves congratulations.
To sell so many books in one night, you must be so happy.
Well done and this is only the start MaryAnn.
You are one very special lady.

Hi Mac, I am reviewing your poem "A Walk in the Meadow" Open in new Window.
The title drew me in to view 'A Walk in the Meadow' a nice title and gives me a spark of fresh air in my lungs.
I enjoyed the way you have walked through the meadows in each season describing the changes of mother nature.
'Green hills flowing into blue skies.'
'From wheat fields to thirst quenching thunderstorms.'
The cycle of seasons here makes a delightful poem as I wander through with the author.
Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind Mac.

Hi Alexis, I am reviewing your article on "Bullying: Four Stories and Solutions" Open in new Window.
ref: The subject of bullying and how different people react to being bullied and about the bullies themselves.
This is a very interesting and honest insight into the subject.
There will always be bullies, in all walks of life. Even when a person grows into adulthood there are bullies out there.
People who have the big house and the husband with the big income, they flock together like some superior peacocks and think that the are something else. Someof them look down on those who are... not less fortunate but say for instance living in council or rented accommodation. Oh! They say, I have lifted myself out of that and now have my big house and can buy expensive shoes and be invited to the elite of society.
Ha, they are called fools in the eyes of God. Galations 6v3 Anyone who thinks he is something when he is nothing, deceives himself.
If they sow seeds of sorrow on others, they will receive sorrow and destruction.
Oh, I sigh when I think of what mam does to his fellow man.

I find here a good look into how it makes people feel when they have been bullied and the consequences of being bullied. Some survive and some don't and those who have inflicted the pain on others will one day have to pay the price.
Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind.

Hi Fran, having just read this poem, I will now give a review."I'll Love You Forever" Open in new Window.
This poem has a lovely title which draws me to a love story.
Yes, I was right. The simplicity of the words from a grateful heart are so beautiful. The writer sees his love for her in his eyes, like a mirror image of two souls joining together.

My favourite line

I felt so worthwhile
Your eyes ablaze.

He made the writer whole.

The bells of a wedding endures time and the writer knows that they are one for life.

Hi Jen, I am reviewing your latest poem "Lucky Coin" Open in new Window.

Writer's Cramp Prompt Words:
a fish
a golden coin
and a worn out sock

The title drew me into read this.
The prompts have been used to make this poem come to life and I saw the images of grandfather and a young grand daughter at the fishing hole.
The old man lovingly telling his GD that the coin he kept in an old sock brought luck.
The child fully believing Grandad was successful with the fishing adventure was a success and the child caught her fish.
This short poem spoke love and trust, bringing memories from the well of life to the surface.
I enjoyed reading your poem.

Hi Gervic, I am reviewing your poem "Sail on, Oh paperboat!" Open in new Window.
I came across this poem by it's title.
It is a lovely heartfelt poem about family that are across the seas and the writer is sending his love in a letter. The paper boat is a clever way of expressing the transporting of this letter which holds the feelings and love of the writer.
I enjoyed reading into your writer's mind.

Hi Patrece, After I stop laughing I am reviewing your "Just Chill Out!" Open in new Window.
A picture of a dead turkey cooling by the sink as suggested by the recipe. It has been a good laugh just to see what the human imagination can do to a turkey carcass.
Adding the drink that the turkey will never enjoy. I see the eyes that stare, ready to make the onlooker cry laughing. The lips of chilly are a potent hot place if kissed and those breasts look like... well, I had better not remark on that. *Laugh*
Great picture, fun and enjoyable.
Ouch1 I just thought of the poor turkey in the oven. *Shock2*Flame burgers.*Laugh*
Thanks for the laugh.

Hi Jeannie, I am reviewing your "Leah's Goat Image" Open in new Window.
For starters, I love and adore goats. When I was in Furoventura, we visited a goat farm and there were hundreds, all shapes and sizes. I never knew that there were so many. It was a day to remember and still brings a smile to my heart when I recall the fun I had.
The picture is perfect for your granddaughter's stories. I love the way she is tilting her head and can see from the picture that she also loves the kids. *Laugh*
Thank you for allowing me to see this lovely picture in your port.
Excellent!

Hi Jen, I am reviewing your poem "Train of Thoughts" Open in new Window.
The title fits this poem prompt
A clever take on a train journey through the terrain of the mind.
I enterered into the journey and sat in the carriage quietly listening to the character who was writing this piece.
Well thought out and well written.

What if the next poem was, 'Training the thoughts' This would be a new and fresh journey going forward to new times and new destinations. Putting the past behind and facing the winds of time with a fresh vision could be life changing.(Just a thought)*Smile*

I enjoyed reading this and it is easy to rate this poem for you Jen.

I am reviewing your poem "Alone in the Silence" Open in new Window.
Reading between these lines I visualise a person who is obviously alone.
But wait, I look further.

(You stop and pick me up where I am at
And give me a voice)

I feel this is a personal journey with the spirit of our Lord.
Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I see in the words.

I see a soul that is crying out for help and finding that help in his sanctuary.
A short, deep and personal cry in the dark.
I see through the veil.

Well written and enlightening.
Thank you Caidie for allowing me into your writer's mind.
