Do more they say [E] About work and sometimes relationships |
An Angel Army Review Hi GrandpaJim . I'm JACE , and I have the honor of reading and reviewing your offering "Do more they say" . I invite your attention to the comments below. Please bear in mind these notes are from one on the outside looking in; ultimately only you can decide what's right for your story. Overall Impression. Good morning. I found this gem on the site's Read & Review feature, which displays random items to review of those members who are online at that given time. And congratulations on joining Writing.Com and posting your first items. I hope you'll find WDC helpful to you on your writing journey. A couple of things popped out at me when your item came up on my screen. First was your handle: Grandpajim. I retired this year and find myself busier than ever. Friends who retired well before I always told me they were busier after retiring--I never believed them until now. And second, your title hooked me into reading your offering. I felt like it was talking to me in my retirement. There does seem to be that double standard: You have more time available now, you can do more for me. I wonder at your motivation behind this poetic vocalization. But then, it really doesn't matter to me. I read it how I see it. After all, isn't that what poetry is for? Well, this is what your offering says to me. Technical and Editorial Considerations. In this section I normally list those areas that relate specifically to the mechanics of your writing--punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc. From a technical aspect, I seldom comment on the mechanics of a poem. Poetry is such a personal statement, both for the author and reader. Unless you have an obvious error, or incorrect stated formatting, I take your offering at face value. Note: Other reviewers will have their own philosophy on reviewing. Sometimes they post it in their Portfolio. Please remember, a review is just one person's opinion at that point in time. It's your choice to take the advice ... or leave it. My Rating. 4.5. Thank you for sharing this offering. Please accept these comments as offered in friendship and support. They are but my humble opinion. Reviewed by JACE My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
