ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were spotted, and I have no suggestions to offer that I feel would improve the item.
CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: I think the imagery is good, and the emotions relayed just as well. My favorite stanza is the one about the voice of reason. True enough, one feels better if they listen to it and follow the path that is right. Placing blame on others also leads to unhappiness. You did an exceptional job of relaying these and other emotions.

ERRORS: A comma should follow "That way"; A comma should come after "Ah", "missing wire", "A Loose" be "a loose", and "wil" be "will" instead. Commas should also follow "at first" and "but then", and "sure enough". A period should come after "frequency", and the following sentence re-worded to some thing like "It sounds so good".
SUGGESTIONS: The item needs some punctual and spelling edits as mentioned above.
WHAT I LIKED: The determination used in trying to find out what is wrong with the radio was my personal favorite. Like you, I love music. I would be lost without my radio also.
ERRORS: Only one was noticed. "it's believers" should be "its believers" instead. Other than that, no errors were spotted.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would improve the item.
MY THOUGHTS: The imagery used in describing civilization and progress is outstanding. I liked all of the stanzas, but the last was my favorite. Knowledge without wisdom means nothing, nor does uncontrolled power. I could not agree more with your views on technology. The "why" is very important.

ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: The only errors spotted were that a space is needed between the period following "Prince Charming" and "Some", and "ebony hair" should be ebony-haired. No others were noticed, and there are no suggestions for improvement.
MY THOUGHTS: I like the way you go into detail about why you are like each of the princesses. It is easy relating to your love for animals and that special man in your life. I was drawn into the item fr4om beginning to end. It was almost like reading part of your autobiography. Well done, Megan!

ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were noticed, and I cannot think of anything that would make for improvement.
MY THOUGHTS: Like you, I love Meg and would love to pay her a visit, although I'll pass on the Vegemite. Vitamin enriched or not, I think this is a snack I would pass.

MECHANICS: No grammatical, punctual, or other errors were noticed.
SUGGESTIONS: None that would improve the poem.
MY FAVORITES: A poetic masterpiece was painted by the use of imagery. I was drawn into the poem from beginning to end. The emotions relayed are sad, yet well written. My heart goes out to those feeling forsaken and suffer learning experiences such as the ones in this poem. I was heartbroken to see that this is not a fictional piece.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would improve the item.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: You did a fantastic job with the imagery used in describing the settings. I liked that. I think the use of good imagery always draws a reader into the story. My favorites are the paragraphs about the ups and downs and signs. Although I'm not a bike rider, I can recall these things when younger. Very well written story!

MY THOUGHTS: The rhythm is outstanding, and the imagery just as good. I think you did a great job with the prompt. I also thought the notes before and after the poem were an additional plus. You're right. Writing pieces like this are not easy, but you did a wonderful job writing about the moonshiners and the graves.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other errors were spotted, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the short story.
WHAT I LIKED: The imagery used in describing the setting and characters is fantastic, but what I really liked is the way Corbin found peace with the woman despite his condition and tragic circumstances. The plot pulled at my heartstrings. It is well written, although terribly sad.
ERRORS: The rhythm is off in some of the lines, yet did not take away from the poem in my opinion. Examples are: "felt" and "help", "go" and "sown ".
SUGGESTIONS: There are none other than the ones mentioned above.
MY THOUGHTS: It takes a good person to erase painful memories and turn to Him for help to overcome them. You did a sensational job of relaying this. The poem is inspiring and sends readers a great message. The emotions are expressed just as well. I loved the stanza where God lets you know that He is there to provide you with the strength to forgive.

OVERALL OPINION: Sarah, Ricky, and the other characters are described well, which is always a plus in my opinion because it makes them easier to relate to. Teenage pregnancy is difficult for both the young parents and grandparents. You did a sensational job of pointing that out, along with how she felt at the changes in her body. I liked the realism of the story and characters. Very well done!

WHAT I LIKED: I was drawn into the plot from the moment the mysterious box arrived. The gifter was an angel. To help those in need after the hurricane was magnanimous, and something no one would forget. You did a splendid job of making the storyline realistic. I liked that, and the fact that the gifter sought no praise for being a good Samaritan by remaining anonymous. Great story!
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No comma is needed after "long past". A comma should replace the period that follows "my destiny" and "For" not capitalized, or "For" deleted. No comma is needed after "all time". Please keep in mind that these are only suggestions.
WHAT I LIKED: The imagery used in describing the setting when the main character's spirit travels backward in time is awesome. I liked what the parasol and Monet's portrait represented to the woman, although they were heartbreaking. My heart bled for the woman when she said farewell to her love, but even more so in the finale. Loved the story!

ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No comma is needed after "young by". I also think that too many semi-colons were used.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should replace the period following "dusty desert" and "And" not capitalized. Just a humble opinion, but putting spaces between all of the paragraphs instead of some would make for a better presentation. The first four could be combined into one.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Uncle Lark and Sabrina were described the best, and the storyline good.
MY THOUGHTS: The settings are defined well. I think Anthony's character could be described more. I liked the description of his uncle's home and why Anthony wasn't certain if he wanted to meet his relative. Overall, the story is good in my opinion.

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only the opinion of this reader, whose intention is to help, and not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Just a suggestion, but I think using "cold" or "freezing" once is sufficient. A period should replace the semi-colon following "freezing", and "he'd" capitalized. No comma is needed after "a trip", but should follow "abandoned". A comma should come after "later" in paragraph two. A comma is not needed after "the fields" in the third paragraph, but one should follow "her kind". No comma is needed after "place" or "urine".
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The mother and her offspring are well defined, and so is the setting.
MY THOUGHTS: You did a super job of relaying the thoughts of an egg. I liked that. The storyline is enjoyable except for what the poor egg thinks at the end. Good job!

OVERALL THOUGHTS: The imagery used in defining the three stars is fabulous. My personal favorites are the lines about the phoenixes and the the questioning of our existence. Like you, I love stars and the mystery of them. Well done!
ERRORS: The rhythm was off in one of the stanzas. "goodbyes" and "why" do not follow the same rhyming pattern as found in the rest of the verses.
SUGGESTIONS: None other than the one mentioned above.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The rhythm is excellent is all of the stanzas except the one pointed out above, yet I thought the poem was terrific. You did a great job of putting yourself into the thoughts of one who is perishing. My heart ached for him and his loved ones, and I could almost feel the pain he felt as he attempted to find logical answers. I liked the inspiration that was found in the box, and found it uplifting that he left the world happily.
