Review of Baby Steps  Open in new Window.
Review by April Sunday Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.5)

"BABY STEPS, from CE Thieroff reveals a prose poem pen. Which seems to portray an onlooker marveling at the patient, under the care of the Supreme Healer. Frought with emotion and staggering faith this one stays with the reader. Great job." Review sent August 16, 2009

Review of The Grinny  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)

"In THE GRINNY by C E Thieroff there enters a curious chipmunk. As the read progresses, easy to see that both parties are impressed by each other. The first person narrator turning pages and the brown-eyed wee creature. Realism present here as observed by an observer." Review sent from April Sunday Author IconMail Icon August 15, 2009

Hey there, Thieroff,

Haven't read anything of yours lately and very glad to find PELOTA BRIGHT, RED AND WHITE.

EACH stanza offers a ring to it. The outcome of a game of baseball. Wow, who knew from pelota?

Thanks for the education.

August 15, 2009, Saturday

Hello: Field;

Might I mention at the outset? That SPEEDING is fabulous, start to finish.
While all content reveals the characters in the temporary care of the coppers.

Also: must seriously compliment the following phrases:

*Heart* "baby faced's" replacement --- "chiselled & hardened." PERFECT!!!

*Heart* "steadfastness in the face of adversity"

And: "outrageous laziness."

Thanks for posting. Great style & wit found here.

Review of " Books "  Open in new Window.

Hello, Sad Bear.

Found your story BOOKS on Auto-Rewards.

Must say, do like the premise of the broken hearted boyfriend enjoying things left behind by the ex-girlfriend. Quite a neat story idea, really.

Your punctuation needs tons of work. Especially quote arena. However, this is not an edit, of course.

'Forget' and 'anything" are each one word.

Now, why not mention the author from Maine? Is it King?

Good story, great insight evident in the content. Thanks for posting.

Good morning to embe Author IconMail Icon with thanks for your entry in "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. where many site-wide members submit stories and poems, new or old, year round. This contest open until 3pm today.

Okay, Embe, plug for the contest aside ... now onto your public rev.

"Embe is a poet whose work is memorable. An important quality in authorship these days, especially with all the Internet has to offer.

"In SCARLET ROSE --- POISON IVY one feels a take on O. Henry growing outside the window where "jealous poison ivy" lurks. And can appreciate the latter as a gardener who catches the dreaded itch sometimes."

Embe --- you're in the running!

Best wishes for a fine weekend.

My goodness, Miss Marlean, the things you do come up with sometimes set one's hair on end. Well, then in my case as your present READER (not reviewer --- although crafting another public gem hee- hee) just grab me due to a condition which one can't really seem to ever ignore. Nemely: Pre-conditioned thought syndrome.

However, this info you cast in the direction of you blogspot link and onto Auto Rewards re: "IF time is money" should help shed the shackles which we might sometimes feel" if ever writing for an onsite audience only. The latter impossible in most cases.

Love the eye-openers you have ALWAYS shared with so many.

THANK YOU!!!

Review of Not so Sweet  Open in new Window.

"NOT SO SWEET from the portfolio of gifted author, Marcus presents a tale of both friendship which prevails, and a chocolate present which takes time and pre-thought in the gifting. While, scenes and dialogue compliment this turn around and young crush for the characters, Mae and Delcine. The latter a catchy creation which sticks with the reader, like the story itself.

THURSDAY, JULY 2 - The countdown begins.

Morning, Buxton. If I'm a creep for talking about rain one-on-one with you, so sorry. Yeah, it poured again last night here in SE Penn's Woods. We've so much it's become acceptable. Sorry, hon ... eerie blogs on "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

HI PRP!

{user:judity {user:judity} totally comes across, fitting into 510 specifically chosen words a code of living, which babyboomers often share.

I'm onboard with the one about cats. However, draw the line with Dobermans.
Well, you know me.

THIS I BELIEVE by astonishing, tell-all, author JA BUXTON is a sitewide July MUST READ.

Here, without pulling one single punch a truth (a belief) pivots to the foreground of living life. As we know it.

Oh, almost forgot, Judy, Judy, Judy ...

When you gave up Walt Disney here at the end ... well laughing & cackling so hard ensues at this moment in time ... Whitey ran for the screen door .. hollering MEOW! MEOW!

But, you, MS BUXTON are the absolute CAT'S MEOW!

Commenting on -- The silliest thing ... your fourth paragraph for this essay (thanks for not using the term short story for a compostion, my dear ...) Inspires a pen from me, one to think on,

Par: starting: "My personal belief ... is that God has a sense of humour --- IS INDEED SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT.

llllllllll Sidebar: Does he give it to us to share? Yes, amen, sister. You know they don't ever give me indepth rewards anymore, despite an emphasis on LIT and the English Language, per se. Sorry. My feet were born wet.llllllllllllllll

Authors in the know ... know humor is a gift to record, as Judy is fully aware.

AND in the hook par ... your touch and style shine when even the neighbors of our youths in small town America (or city 'hoods) were prone to help "all the kids." Spanking was in then, as well raised voice corrections.

Ahh, well ... another excellent thought provoking pen.

Buxton, for the love of God, you honestly restore one's faith in humamity with your fine writing.

PS --- BELIEVE IT!

AMEN!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Good morning, Charlotte ~ Chasing Rabbits Author IconMail Icon

WELCOME to www.writing.com. Sailing around and surfing the site will turn up many surprises for you, so enjoy.

Of your flash paragraph, SUMMER FATHER, here the author stays to the point, explains the situation of a vacation.

Now, as it is, this could be expanded and would serve as a hook paragraph as it is written, for a short story. If you have a mind to, of course. Imagine here we are in a world of spam essays often found in our real e-mails, bleeps, blurbs, tweets and yet this one came off fine at less than 70 single words.

Great summer ahead and good luck in all your writing and reading adventures.

Good morning, celticevampire with a heartfelt welcome to www.writing.com.

Your poem NO LONGER AN INNOCENT might cadge a better presentation by keeping the punctuation consistent.

The sum seems to be that someone (the accused) is being spoken to as guilty of gossip or worse. Which is often the way with poetry, of course, when meanings are not evident and remain allusive.

RHYME ON!! Enjoy the site.

Hello, Rx-Queen Author IconMail Icon and WELCOME to www.writing.com. With wild hopes that you enjoy exploring the site this summer.

Anyway, your poem BEHOLD THE RAPTURE meets your intro and reads quite well.

When you mention rocks and mountains, can't help but realize these things actually do occur in Valley Fill Mining also called Mountaintop Removal or MYR. When forests, wildlife and streams are no more. The saddest of all are the photos of such a mining practice. Once I thought of this, your futuristic poem seems to apply to destruction by man, even ongoing. I wonder if that was your intention.

Well, best luck in all writing endeavors Cordially, TEFF

Hello Fairport,
Welcome to WC.

In this poem, you really do include quite a lot, adding gardening for sounds of a diversified theme. Of particular interest is the use of "weed" and "thistle." Glad that is in the intro adding more as an attention grabber.

Well done verse from a talented poet by all means. RHYME ON!

"CRYPTIC MIND, a poem from the portfolio of Kiran 13, offers up "psychology genre" on a silver platter. Thanks there. This poem excels for lines where the author (or poet, of course) draws readers into the fold with a challenge. But then when unable to meet requirments RE: acquaintance, perhaps take heed. For here find also "a waterfall that once flowed free." Wonderful comparisons, catchy poem."
