| (5.0)  HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"  Hello, Carly! INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:  I enjoyed reading your "Angel Eyes Do Smile on Me" poem every time I read it, including today. Your writing kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end. Congratulations to you on completing eight whole years of the Contest Challenge! "The Contest Challenge" MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:  Happy Writing.Com Anniversary month! I read this "Angel Eyes Do Smile on Me" poem of yours sometime in the past and enjoyed it, but didn't have time to review it right then, so I flagged it for an anniversary review (meaning I saved the link to it in a special "March" file.  ). I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting and encouraging. I loved the idea of angel eyes smiling on us. Maybe they do! My favorite two lines were""I have never felt the pulse of energy That has stirred my soul so beautifully." They went together so well I couldn't pick between them. I thought you did a great job with the prompt for that day of the "Writer's Cramp." It seemed like a complicated one, and you managed to embody the different elements well. I hoped this was biographical and that you have realized your dreams and felt this blissful about your writing. I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your "Angel Eyes Do Smile on Me" poem. I appreciated that you included information on the contest in which you entered it, even though it's one I know and love, because future readers might not be as familiar with it. I thought the inspirational and writing genres you selected for this poem were appropriate matches for it. I liked that you included your line count along with the prompt below your poem.IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER: In the spirit of helpfulness, and because of the requirements of a new reviewing challenge I joined recently, I have some little suggestions to make your piece stronger. If you're interested in some constructive criticism, read on. But if you aren't, no worries. Just know that I enjoyed your piece and move on to the next section. Still reading? You're brave! Yay for you!   I'd recommend adding an actual link (vs just the name) of the contest you entered, as newbies who might come across your poem might find that helpful. I'd recommend choosing a third genre, as we are allowed three, and people do search by genre here. Perhaps "spiritual," "biographical," "fantasy," "personal," or "experience" might be nice options to consider? There's a drop down list, as you know, because you had to use it to select your other two genres. I don't have it memorized; those are just some suggestions. The actual list will probably be more helpful. Just to show it's not only me who recommends this, moderator Schnujo's Giving Away GPs  shared on the news feed in a comment on 2/21/2025 that “SM has told me, himself, that the #1 way people search for things to read on WdC is through the genre search, so if you aren't filling out all 3 genres, you are literally missing out on readers.” [On the very slim chance that you don't already know this, SM is our StoryMaster here, and definitely in the know.] If you want to see the note and scroll down to see her whole comment, here’s the link: "Note: View this Note". It might help you get more future readers if you added a thumbnail picture to your story, if your membership level allows that. Pictures are attention getting and could help your story stand out in a list of search results.As with any review, please take what serves you and release or ignore what doesn't. CONCLUSION:  I enjoyed reading your "Angel Eyes Do Smile on Me" poem, and felt happy for you as I read it. Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, experiences, and writing with the Writing.Com community! Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance during your anniversary month, and always!
