Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

*Thumbsup* I think that this is an adorable piece that celebrates Halloween very nicely. It reads like pages from a children's book. I can picture children having these questions and thoughts. Nice job!

And Ghost’s say “Boo!”
*QuestionR* Did you mean Ghosts?

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*



I am back again, because I enjoyed Wonderland when I first visited your port.



*Thumbsup* Sigh, I love this! I love the way it reads out loud. It shows the start of the relationship, the sizzle of the relationship, and then the realization of the fact they are gone because of one's own stubbornness. I am a sucker for these kind of poems; this tugged my heartstrings. Beautifully written!

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

*Thumbsup* This is a a loving and sweet tribute to your Valentine. I think focusing on her in peaceful and vulnerable moments is something she'll cherish. Contenment means different things to people, and if your heart is content just from being near her, then she's your person*Wink*

*Notev* You may want to add this under the genre of relationship or love/romance.

*Thumbsup* I love the innocence and purity that your poem represents. I can easily see the images of nature floating through my mind. You use subtle rhyming in the pattern ABCB, which sounds lovely when read outloud.

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* Really wonderful action and adventure poem! I could see the raft and the water fighting against each other. I really like that this is a spoken metaphor for someone who may be fighting obstacles in life. It impresses me when someone is able to express that without telling personal things. As readers, we don't really need to know what it stands for if the writing shows us! Great job!

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

*Thumbsup* "Alice and Wonderland" is one of my childhood favorites, which I still can enjoy as an adult. I really like that there is a bit of darkness, almost like you're seducing someone into the rabbit hole. I was very happy to come across this and found it enjoyable. Great image, by the way!

Sinbad,

Happy 3rd Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup*I think that this is a beautifully descriptive prose. Your brief description made me want to take a read. I think that your use of metaphors and personification plays nicely in this prose. You have a creative way of translating the scenes to the reader through uniqueness here, and I greatly appreciate that.

the smiles are little faded,
the eyes have grown numb,
the hair at the end of the temples,
the skin beside the lips is layered,
the voices aren’t the same – the many dead, the few wounded and the scattered sentences are blue

*Notew* I love what I could envision by your words here. Very nice use of personification and alliteration in the end of the last line! I do have a suggestion to offer. Every line shows what the features or object are doing, except for the hair at the end of the temples.
*Idea* Consider showing what the hairline is doing, possibly receding?

Impressive and colorful write.

Queens,

I hope you don't mind my comments.

*Thumbsup* This is a lovely tribute to a man you clearly adore. I love that your piece shows the genuine care that you have for each other. Longevity is not always found in relatiosnships, and I am happy to hear that the both of you still feel the way the poems shows after many years. I very much enjoyed this poem.

*Notev* One quick thing: My life has ben- I think you meant has been.

Aleeza,

Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* I like that the items you describe made me actually gain a sense of lonelinesss and heartache.

An empty cup
For me, the empty cup symbolizes the lack of affection and communication received. I think it is a great way to show that to the reader.

Wet papers and folded map
This feels like a loss of direction, and not knowing where he/she belongs.

*Idea* One thought that I have is consider changing Ink less pen to inkless pen. The way you have it, read to me as "ink with not enough pen" instead of a pen without ink*Wink*

All in all, I really enjoyed the symbolism, meaning, and imagery.

Kasia,

You were kind enough to drop by and review a piece of mine, so I am returning the favor. Hope you do not mind.

*Thumbsup* Love the title! It is the inital thing that made me want to read this. I concur with the idea that our childhood can shape who we are in later years. The mood of your poem is dark, but you use soft terms in imagery throughout, which I appreciate. I like the soft verses the hard. I just love the way the words of this poem dance off my tongue. I am a huge fan of alliteration, so the phrase Laziness lingers is obviously a favorite of mine.

*Exclaimv* This poem is filled with clever ways of letting my mind see the images at play:
Sun-drenched lawns where summer waits,
Sand walls crumble and glass prisons break
The daisies have wilted, the seasons have flown,

Perhaps this place is best just forgotten –
It’s full overflowing with rotting and rotten.
*ExclaimV* Ouch, these lines sting. Powerful reflection for someone to have!

The daisies have wilted, the seasons have flown,
Cold as the frost on pillars of stone.
*Exclaimv* This is such a creative way to show time passing and the end coming closer.

I truly adore this poem and think it is written wonderfully!

Power Unit,

*Thumbsup* I find this creative. I like that you gave us a play-by-play on how this poem came to be. The ending line (which I love) shows the reader that the importance of what lies beneath is what matters. Your words are descriptive and allowed me to gain a mental image.

Sewcrazy,

When I lost my mother, it was often difficult to find the right words to express what I was feeling, or to find the right words to do her justice. I do not know if you lost your mother, but when I read your poem my inital thought was that I wish I had her back. This is a simple, but lovely tribute to your mother. Awesome title.

Germac,

Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* I think you presented a lighthearted and pretty picture through your poem. It carries innocence, and something about the poem feels spiritual to me, even if that is not what you intended.

I thought your title was an interesting choice, and it did not give away the poem's content.

I noticed you listed 2 others under genres. Consider listing this under children's, family, or spiritual.

Casey, Welcome to Writing.Com!

Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* Your poems shows that painful memories are something that can fester and mess with your mind. They are difficult to let go.

Painful ones slow and dark
Consider using an alternate word for memories other than "ones" here. Maybe one of the following: thoughts, recollections

its only memory that flows
Consider: it's the only memory that flows

AshleyMae, Welcome to Writing.Com!

Hope you don't mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* I absolutely love the connection you make here with loss and not being able to find the moon.

But I couldn't find the moon tonight,
only a few sparse stars.
*Idea* Sparse and few are similar in meaning. Perhaps, consider using either sparse or few there and adding a descriptive:
*Bullet* But I couldn't find the moon tonight,
through the silver sparse stars

This is a lovely tribute and your longing to have your friend back is evident.

Jen,

I came across you from JeJaw in "Invalid Item" . Hope you don't mind my comments.

*Thumbsup* Very nice use of imagery and flows smoothly. Autumn is such a pretty sight, and through your words I easily can envision that. I found your ending both interesting and surprising. I think that the meaning behind your poem is important: the choices we make determine what's to follow for us in life. Good choice of title, made me want to read it!

Dave,

*Thumbsup* This prose is absolutely brought to life by your creative use of words! Images danced off the screen as I read this. I love while the title totally supports the prose, it did not give away what this was about. In this you show us what it was like for Mary Beth and how you saw her during these times. I wouldn't change a thing in this prose. Heartbreaking, but phenomenal writing.

Inkwell,

Hope you do not mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* Sound, smell, touch, sight, and taste are all relating to winter through your poem, which suits the title nicely!

Winter.
The season of grey hue
*Bullet* While this relates to winter quite well, the other lines in your poem seem more vivid with imagery. Perhaps dress this particular line up a bit more, especially since this line represents the sense of sight.

*Idea* Maybe consider something like: The shivering shadows roam

tantilising taste
*Bullet* I like the alliteration there! I think you meant tantalizing

NYPen,

Hope you do not mind my comments and/or suggestions.

*Thumbsup* Nice use of imagery, and fantastic brief description, which can totally be used as a metaphor.

dripping like a thawed petal
woken with the morning sun
*Bullet* good way to show revival and new life

Thins as time advances
night sinks
day peeks
colors and glory pop
*Bullet* While I think the images are pretty, I am uncertain as to what is thinning as time advances. Perhaps, revise it a bit so the intended meaning is a bit clearer to the reader?

Turtle,

*Thumbsup* I adore this! They often say, love comes when it is least expected.

You focus on the simplicty of her lifestyle, while living in a world that is more intrigued by materialistic items and the hustle of things. Given the statement above, I think the title is perfect for representing your wife.

The journey the two of you took in the poem shows the ups and downs, but more importantly that you still stand tall today. Lovely piece about your wife.

Zeke,

I came across your name in "Invalid Item" . The first thing I noticed is in your bio on your port page that you do not write anymore. As a lover of writing, I know that cannot be easy to not be able to put paper to pen like you have here, so thank you for sharing your past work.

*Thumbsup* I adore that your poem is about imperfections and embracing them. The truth of this piece speaks that without them, we would not be who we are and in the end that is not a bad thing! Idiosyncrasies are something peculiarly wonderful!

Hi Steph,

*Thumbsup* First, I wanted to thank you for featuring my item in your last newsletter*Bigsmile*

I chose "Chilled" because it seemed like the most ambiguous choice. Although there is a simplicity about the the title, it feels like the book I'd want to pick up just because of the title alone.

Review of Her Smile  
Review by Lexi
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hi Juan,

This is a small peice, so I hope you do not mind my suggestions or comments.

I encourage you to expand on this some more. I think if more is added it will feel more like a poem, rather than a few lines from a set of lyrics.

Her smile holds my future
Her eyes my sold
I think you meant: Her eyes my soul

*Idea* I like that your piece is about something simple like a smile. Perhaps, you can discuss different types of smiles and how they affect you (smirk, grin).

I hope you continue!
