Maureen O'Loughlin tells it like it is when she details an author's lifestyle, life and life's blood in ANY REVIEW IS A GOOD REVIEW, a brief, worth reading, essay / opinion. ( ( Now how did she know exactly how one feels while composing stories? Gee, Miss Maureen did you visit Teff's house? )) 10/04/05 Alabama Courier Times // T.Teffom

Review of September Rain  Open in new Window.
Review by April Sunday Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)

Look here, Fyn. About this poem of your's SEPTEMBER RAIN which you posted August 27, 2005.

Now, naturally, I don't know where you live for autumn to invade your psyche so throughoughly. However, your poem prompts this humble reviewer to take the walk, smell falling leaves at my feet.

Of course, you are perfectly right in your audacious, colorful remarks. By all means "September reigns."

Do Teff a favor; do rhyme on!

One of the best, adding to favorites to re-read and enjoy.

Thank you, Fyn. This is poetry with a capital P.

Cordially,

Author, Prier offers A STORY OF STORY TIME on Auto Rewards. A tale of sharing familiar stories aloud as grandparents and grandkids imaginations's soar.

Nice work, story line held and well organized paragraph by paragraph. Even little David, a mere age 6 comes alive from the pages, as he tires out during his story. Although "David was by far the best listener."

Favorite line: "Their tenure ... approaches obsolescence." (Indeed, no TV, no VCR nor DVD, merely the old fashioned art of story telling.

WOW! The last line, Prier! Eloquent at best.

Hats off to this author for capturing family genre while describing a flair for entertainment.

Cordially, T. Teffom

Marlean, is that you, again with the Auto Rewards Page already?

Forgive me, but you know I can't resist opening your items whenever I find them.
Thank you for your intellectual patience with me.

The holiday spark of generosity falls easily from this author's pen with EXTRAVAGANT SHARING.

Be assured, readers & guests, with LEAN you may need your dictionary, your philosphic credentials to produce the special smile that says this WC author is a true plesure to read.

Hey, LEAN, see you around, my friend.

Best Autum Days ahead for you and yours.

Michelf presents the best rhyming sequence ever. ADVENTURES UP THE STAIRS reminds one of The Night Before Christmas! Yes, it is that good.

With KABOOM, this poet chose the proper word.

Kiddie Lit Genre and superb.

Review of Destiny? Doom!!!  Open in new Window.
Review by April Sunday Author IconMail Icon
Rated: ASR | (3.5)



Author/ Poet Rebecca offers DESTINY? DOOM !!!, a sponsored item, copyrite, July 2005.

From this poem comes a hidden message about a "future" of descent according to this poet.

The use of words starting with D only serves to highlight that traverse into this poem's "Hades."

Not a bad poem really. Content merely leaves readers awash in a sea of gloom without a glimmer of hope (I think.)
Which is not entertaining but on topic of the title.

Cordially, Teff

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Dear Members, Authors, Guests,

Please not this author's pen registers as Lost Punk.

Dear Author/ Lost: You ask for a title for this poem. So how about trying "Ode to a Feeeling."

The narrative of the poem addresses feelings and an unidentified person or persons.

With "Cuz the inner violence is growing..."

it becomes hard to fathom an exact meaning behind this sonnet.

However, nothing wrong with trying and try you did. Thus a beginning for this item's recent posting.

PS Enjoy the Birthday Celebration. Note contests for poetry etc.

Cordially, Teff

Dear Story Master ---

If Teffy can get her mind of Katrina and New Orleans for a few rev's maybe she'll enter. Wonder where this was during my revving career. Note on feedback being included. Not a stalwart nor a novice there.

Just seems a bad time right now with all in the news and the South. However, may consider another round for this contest sounds enticing.

Good Job! Best to all during --- excuse me, reaching for my tinted shades, wow is that yellow bright brite or what?

Back again. Seems enticing for all reviewers who've been around the block or wish to join the fun.

HEY!!! New members here's your chance to score for that first upgrade.

Review of Manly  Open in new Window.

Aug, 29, 2K5

MANLY by Phlow bespeaks of the pleasure of the day trip to an Australian seaside resort town.

Excellent when it comes down to it as long as the setting rings, as this places Teff there tasting "Oysters Kilpatrick and garlic prawns." Delicious rhymes.

Favorite line: "Your words I devoured by the pound."

Absolutley, a MUST READ POEM!

Don't use the above too often, Phlow.

Poetry On!

Couldn't see where this one was going for awhile, due to thinking Edsels and ancient Buicks only got about 8 miles per.

The ending is classic!

And wow ... "My cat gets a billion farts to the can." Is so funny, then too the one about the elephant. Thus this 4.5 star, dear author.

Yes, dear poet, you have a good thing going here with HYPOCRITE.

Merely address a spell check.

Wondering how this came my way?

Most often one uses capital I for I.

Poem with short lines, doubled spaced, nice impression overall.

Nice work, Goldendream

Insolence, a poem by Goldendream delivers with Rhyme, cadence, and a similie we seldom think of but sure it's there.

Love the lines:
"That was the way it had always been
In the village called Respect." The pace setter.

Great idea, poets, click here and really enjoy.

"Umpteen one of thousands, another tried and true mini short, flash fiction here on WC. Time of Demise esits with a scary thought. Death all around, a gas station exploding, yet emphathy for poor John --- either in my mind's eye the killer or just the same type of guy as Coffee in The Green Mile by Stephen King. Only the author may know for sure." Derby Derringer / Alabama Courier Times / Aug 15, 2K5

SPIDEY PRAYS FOR HER MOM, c-rite Jan, 2K5 is a tale of hospitals & surgeries. Providing the sense of a family waiting in the wings. A very supportive family.

Author, Spidey handles a tough one quite well.

Includes fears, prayers, results and aftermath of a difficult time with a touch of warmth and complete caring.

Great job, here, kiddo.

Best Luck Always!

Review of Cursing Charlie  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (3.5)



"Cursing Charlie" offered on Auto Rewards by author, Nic has the setting of Arizona in the background, while two lover's minds mix in either telpathy or dialog.

In the last paragraph the Nic tells us not to think. Is a content rating now a no-no?

So, where to start, where to stop?
What to say?

While the entire piece builds toward the girl going flying over the side of the cliff.

Which leaves this author without further comment.

Here's a moment of truth, allright. Teff's at her PC editing, so this review's from Derby Derringer.

Miss MimossaBubbles, let's assume we never met. Your piece, "Me! (The Outlook Series) just doesn't seem to have moxie enough for a series opening.

Yes, the house on the cliff, coupled with a dream. Ouch the depression.
Mon Dieu! Suppose at the drawing board of "life" as you outline, this reporter from Alabama Courier better step aside.
Seems you want to render or rant or dream some more, maybe. Make room for more to come from this item's conception to finale.

Will this please your muse's whims?
If so ponder on.

Bubbles, dear: Best corral the imagination and forever write on!

a poem by Proverbial Enigma is a quest of the sides of a lady with a pen, dreaming about a love, the love, of her life? Right?

Good rhyme, self revealing of narrator in poem.

Review of Smiles  Open in new Window.
Review by April Sunday Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (3.0)


***************************************

Unsure if we can agree on some poems just hitting us, even read about one waking a poet up here on WC which happens to Teff on rare occasions.

But once I was thinking and waking with the idea that the poem had to make some sense, lost that one slept overtime last week.

Words to the wise above.

Suppose also that fancy worded -- nonsense poems are fine if one enjoys the cadence etc. Not here.

Just wondering perhaps the author / poet here left too much out, too much blank for reader to interpret. While not enough evidence present to go by.

Cute poem about someone smiling, is about all I got.

Dear Author / Candles,

The one paragraph, draft type story, Nightmare at Work is a fun, fast read.

Yikes, Teff says at the end, no ending?

And, this reviewer did not like that boss man either. Arrogant, pushy, is he?
Chauvinistic? Now, Teff's a thesaurus. Sorry, but nice to have these at our fingertips, innit?

Character achievement met.

Melodrama genre // not exactly.
Oh, well ... unless you're thinking Soap.

Best summer ahead.

Rated: E | (4.0)


Niv, may wonder how a work posted at 5am manages to be discovered by 7:15. Simple, Niv, dear, THE AUTOGRAPH appears on Read-A-Newbie Column.

So, the story about a writer and a reader is an approach seldom seen, yet handled quite well by this writer.

Compliments for your edits.

HOWEVER: Might be to your advantage to reconsider sev predicates.

In chono order: 2nd par -- had become -- try became

had come --- arrived or came

had induced -- induced

had lauded --lauded

Bugaboos those hads. Sly lil buggers who never leave the other side of the screen door, even with Raid, they still persist to hang about, I guess.

LOVE: The coffee comparison!

But in another place --- "... sipped coffee abstractedly." Sounds too posh, doesn't fit, maybe another adjective.

Glass walls --- for car windows. Original and appropriate.

"His writing being the interface ... " Good, precisely.

Best in all you do while writing on & on.

Welcome to WC.
