Welcome to the Newbie Challenge.

I loved your poem and found no typo's anywhere.
The only thing I could see that may make it even
more beautiful would be to separate it into four
line stanza's, center and add a lovely color.
It's a wonderful read and I wish you luck in the
Newbie Challenge.

I have to tell you that this story hit me so very hard because I've just recently gone through one such tragedy, and the emotions were still so fresh.

But once I became calm I read right to the end. Your
story was so beautiful told and gently prepared the reader for the ending. thank you so much for sharing
and Good luck in the Newbie Challenge Contest.

Review of Beautiful Day  
Review by MDuci
Rated: E | (5.0)
May none of go back to the old let us all continue into the new!

I can imagine my young grandson singing this happy tune today as he recoups from a Kidney Transplant that
he's waited for since he was seven years old. A few month's ago on his fourteenth birthday, he felt in his heart that he would get one this year and he did three days ago today. So, before I go to see him tomorrow, I'll give him your words that will fit like a glove.
Thank you for sharing.

I look so forward to reading more on the story of
Simon Peter. I, having been raised in the Catholic
Church know much about the coming and going of Jesus
apostate Simon Peter and Andrew his brother the 'Fishermen of Men.' Thank you so much for this introduction of the Man who was to become the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. What a great choice to write about Peter, of the all the twelve disciples.
A little more detail on why Simon was unable to move or speak would be helpful in the story.

I refer to the line where he could not move or speak:Simon wanted to just leave this man and return to his family, but he couldn’t move. He could hear James call to him from the shore but couldn’t respond.

This would be my take on it:

'I believe he realizes he is in the presence of the messiah and so humbles himself, from which he can neither move nor speak.'

Wonderful read please write on, and welcome to Writing.Com.

Dear Vivian,

This piece was beautifully written and greatly worded, I cannot tell you how often I have seen such mean reviews done right on our public pages! Enough sometimes to take me to see just who the reviewer is or what they have written, that makes them write such a mean review to someone who like themselves is learning his/her craft. I thank you so much for this wonderful tool, and pray that I'll always remember to be more help then hinder. Thank you for sharing.

Review of My Angel

Hi Angel,

I love this piece! I gives me a clear insight to what and whom God' is, I also believe that he has placed his own special Angels in our paths to help to guide us in our every day. We are a large nation of earthly beings, so imagine how many Angels there must be right down here on earth. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Manga,

This is just perfect, I loved it from top to bottom,

This is not an easy form to write, and I can see the time and love you put into this little cutie.

I love the Springtime, and watch as new buds unfold after a long winter sleep. Thank you for sharing. I'll be back to your port to read those other forms.

Hello Sir Michael,

What a wonderful display of words you have garnered for the liking. Your rhythm and rhymes are right on key.

I like the complete poem immensely but I love these lines very much:

'So hold my hand as you go
For the way I do not know
Of life’s play I’ve grown quite bored
Now warm death is my reward.'

Welcome to Writing.Com and please write on.

Review of Sr Mary Carola  
Review by MDuci
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello Barbs,

What a great little story! Seems there is a Sister Carola in every perish in the world.

I grew up in So. California, I attended several parochial schools in my in my day.
There she was! Sister Carola, with a different name, but the same wonderful, delightful, full figured sister in black and white. I must give most of the credit for who I am today to my Mom and Dad, but the other/half to the sister Carola’s of the many parishes’ I attended over the years. Funny how you don't think too much about those times until you read a wonderful story like this one! Then it all comes back. Yes, we had one who taught band and played the Tuba. It was awesome. Thanks for the memories and welcome to Writing.Com.

Hello Bemused1,

Welcome to the Newbie Challenge.

I think this is a good character study of this women Sally Gulford.

But I feel it could be a great character study if you would leave something to your readers imagination. The fact that she is not a frills person, yet she drives this great car, that some would die for, yet she is or she isn't. So, something's might be better left unsaid.

For instance:

'Her hair is a rich brown colour, the sort of brown most women pay for, but the richness is muted by the remnants of blonde. There is a hint of style, perhaps from a long-past hairdresser visit,'

To much information. Needs to be cut a little.
These are just suggestions.
Good luck in the challenge, and welcome to Writing.Com.

Thank you for entering the Newbie Challenge

This was such a sad story, filled with so much pain, aloneness, rejection and self-loathing.

My heart weeps for this person, who feels they are of no worth to anyone.
I pray that one day they may be able to reach out and ask for help before it is too late.

Very well written, with only one error ‘mouldering’ I think it should be ‘moldering.

Welcome to the Newbie Challenge Contest.

What a beautifully told story of the loss of a child,
and how the parents got through it.
The love and tenderness expressed by both husband and wife came through your characters very well.

I only had a small question about this paragraph:

'That day, John was trying to keep her mind off it all with his nervous talking and bumbling jokes while she grasped onto the hand he offered for dear life, measuring her breath in short puffs, muscles constricting with near excruciating waves of pain as her heart clenched in fearful joy and exhilaration .'


This seems to be a very long sentence, maybe you could
put a period after 'jokes.' Leave 'while off' 'She grasped the hand he offered holding it tightly.' 'The excruciating pain sending wave after wave of pain through out her body.'

I'm not sure about I how feel about 'fearful joy and exhilaration.' Could someone feel this way while in so much pain? These are just my suggestions.

Over all a very good story, and kept my interest. Thank you for sharing. Good luck in the challenge.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope that someday soon, the children and the family will be able to heal with this sadness and tragedy that has taken over their lives. It is always so sad when a young life is taken because of someone else's folly.

I am sure if they could read your poem they would know just how much they are missed, and cared for.

Hi Gabriella,

This I think would make even Shakespeare bend and bow on bended knee to the Sonnet of Gabriella! This is so tender and so refined. I just can't seem to fine the right words to tell you how much I love this one. I would define it as a short Sonnet that tells the whole story about this one love so sweet.

Bravo, Bravo! "Parting is such sweet sorrow" William Shakespeare. I like yours just as well if not better, and I love his. Good job, well done just for fun.
I know this word is much over used! But you've just blown me away.
Sincerely

Review of A Thousand Pieces  
Review by MDuci
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
What a sad and tender story of a love lost. And of one
trying to move on with their life. The bitter sweet comes across much like the tiny glass breaking into a thousand pieces. The words you've chosen worked so well together, I loved the rhythm and for some reason I loved these lines the best:

'Your eyes glazed green

I glance
Your stare.

I know why'

Keep up the great writing, and welcome to Writing.Com.

Dear Civinna,

What a beautiful mind you have! What a delight it was to read this refreshing poem told so beautiful, by using the voice of a child to speak and to be spoken too, by that round glorious light of our Sun. I love the way you gave the child it's own color, and the Sun it's own color. Thank you so much for sharing, and welcome to Writing.Com.
Best Wishes
