OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Your emotions show up very well in this poem.
I like your last stanza, it sums it all up.
MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
I suggest a more unique title...one that will draw your readers in.
This line doesn't fit in your poem not sure why the reference to the house is made...If it has something to do with the book you refer to...then you need some clarification. I think your poem stands fine with out.
'as the house begins to empty.'

You describe a soldier's life very well.
I like your rhyming scheme and you stick to it well.
Suggestions/Errors:
I think your ! points are distracting~and can cause the flow of your poem to read choppy at times.
In your last line I would write out until.

My Overall impression:
I enjoyed your story, I wasn't expecting the positive ending. Good job. I like the title and the way you lead up to the child 'waking up' your main character.
Suggestions/Errors:
Watch your tenses, at times it is in present tense and other times past tense.
Maybe put his thoughts in italics...(when he calls hisself an old fool and when he is thinking about the city.)
The path memorized, he walked purposefully through the around the rows of gravestones,
(This sentence doesn't make sense, maybe and instead of the.)
Try spacing between each para, it looks better and makes for an easier read.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:
I like your poem so far, I feel like it is unfinished.
I like the lines on the wind and the one on breakfast.
I think you need to show us your ranch a little more.
MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
I think you need to describe your ranch to the reader. Show us your ranch.
In one line you say the 'animals you can think of.' This was your ranch, you tell us what animals were there and tell us what made your ranch so special.
Just expand more on your ranch and you'd have a great poem.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I like the questions you ask!
Great poem and although I can't identify with some of these things, we all get caught up in our worlds and forget the important things!
You say and show this very well!
These lines are awesome:
'Rainbows still kiss your eyelashes on
dewy wet mornings in early Spring'
MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS: Airport rent-a-car, every bi-week visit.
(I'd use bi-weekly.)

Thanks for entering your poem in "Invalid Item" and good luck.
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
Wow, some great thoughts here.
Thanks for writing and sharing this.
My favorite stanza is:
'Weep not my life a single tear,
I shed my past without a fear.
I care not for this life on earth
Of listless joy and callous mirth.
Where crusted smiles numb minds so bold,
So bound by rules, naught to unfold.'
You start your poem off very strong and continue through to the end.
Keep writing. Always, Tammy
Happy Thanksgiving

OVERALL IMPRESSION:
You paint winter very pretty. Your imagery is good and your comparisons are unique. Well done.
I like these 2 lines the best:
'Snowflakes drift on Winter's sigh,
Frigid ice is fresh exhaust.'
Hi again, I chose this one for the title.
I like it. We all need to be able to put ourselves in other's shoes.
This line is really good:
'Feel the pain and suffering, take a hold of the tears I've cried'
Only one suggestion: Maybe expand more on things you have been through...make your poem more personal.
My Overall impression:
I imagine this was hard to write. I hoped it help you to let this go a little by writing about it.
I hate that kids do this to each other. But I experienced some of these feeling as a kid and most of us probably did for some reason or another.
You capture well what it feels like.
Suggestions/Errors:
In para 3 check your commas...I think you have too many. It makes the read choppy
Hope you enjoy yourself here. Any questions, e-mail me. Keep writing.

Thanks for entering your poem in "Invalid Item" and good luck. What a very descriptive poem you have here. I could see this fat, lazy cat.
Great imagery.
These 2 lines are good:
Just a waddling walk, and a wobbling belly
And cheeks that bob like gobs of jelly
Keep writing.

Very inspirational and positive poem. Your poem flows well and I like your pauses thru each line. Your rhymes are good. I like your play on word...peace/piece..very creative.
suggestions:
I don't think Sun needs to be capitalized in line one.
Thanks for posting your poem in "Invalid Item"
I like that you share what/where you was when your muse was prompted!
The image of your memory is great. What a peaceful night, I was right there beside you. You make some great comparisons.
suggestions:
You capture this time very well, in places it's a little wordy. Watch your use of filler words (and, the, etc.)
Rolling through the heavens like great white whales in the purest ocean
try;
Rolling through heavens like great whales in the purest ocean
Its eyes slowly blinking as it nods its head serenely and flicks its tail from side to side
try;
Eyes slowly blinking as it nods head serenely and flicks tail from side to side
All just suggestions.

I've added this folder to my favorites and will definitely read your things...and probably **pester** you to let me use them in the newsletter!!
Again thanks for everything!
Im headed to bed now my reviews are turning silly!!
Talk to you later.
Always, Tammy
I'm not really into the horror genre but you kept my attention. Your story is intense. I was getting closer and closer to my computer screen as I was reading this!
My opinions/suggestions:
Work on your ending...I was a little disappointed with your ending.
I really thought you would've had the last man kill his self, making him the 'psychotic' killer of them all.
But you leave us with a mystery. I want to know what or who was doing the killing.
This gave me goose-bumps and made my eyes water.
I can tell you love your family. I can tell you are proud of your son as you should be...he has learned early what life is about. Great ending. I love hearing of others traditions, what a neat Thanksgiving game your family plays.

I like the color of your poem, you stick to this pattern very well. Your title is good and so are your genres.
my opinions/suggestions:
Overall, your poem reads a little choppy...I know sonnets are hard. I'm not going to suggest any changes due to your count. I do suggest you work on your flow of the poem.
