 Editor's Picks Each month, the job of choosing Newbies to feature in the Newsletter is both difficult and pleasurable. You see, there are often so many high caliber pieces that it's terribly hard to narrow it down to just a few. This month I've tried to feature work that demonstrates great use of imagery and description. I hope you enjoy these picks.  In this poem, the author asks an interesting philosophical question.
This short story has an important message.
Unique imagery is used effectively to remind us all of an important life lesson.
The description in this piece brings the reader back to the joyous days of childhood in just a few words.
This item was submitted by Ramblin Rose  who had this to say: "This Newbie, Phoebe has written a comedy poem. She is nine years old and in her 4th year of school. In my opinion Phoebe's poem is equal to any older person's poetry."
This item was submitted by kat2 who says: "One of the things I look for when reading a poem or story is whether the author can help me to feel what the character is going through. This author accomplished this with a great deal of descriptive skill."
This item was also submitted by kat2 who says: "I am truly impressed with this author. I am very busy, and can rarely read more then 2 or 3 writes from a port, but how can one stop reading when mastership is before them? Wow!"
