SIMPLY POSITIVE AND JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER

*Flower1* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling or other mistakes were noticed, and the only suggestion this humble reader has to offer is that following a rhyming pattern in all of the lines as it is in some would make for a better read. *Flower1*

*Note3* CHARACTERS: N/A *Note3*

*Writing* PLOT: N/A *Writing*

*Check2* MY LIKES: You did a super job of letting readers know your views on poetry. It is indeed an art created by what a writer thinks and feels. I liked the way you compared it to playing chess. *Check2*

*Thumbsdown* MY DISLIKES: There are none. *Thumbsdown*

SIMPLY POSITIVE & JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER

*Smile* Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only an opinion of this humble reader and intended to help, not to criticize. *Smile*

*Exclaim* ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No comm a is needed after "front wall". "Their zimmerframes creaking" is an incomplete sentence. "come" should be capitalized. "sharp wind had only gone" should be "sharp wind had gone" with a comma following the sentence. "The trundled" should be "They trundled" with no comma following "his cheeks". *Exclaim*

*Pencil* CHARACTERS & PLOT: Graham is defined well, and so is the setting. I thought the storyline was touching, especially the end. *Pencil*

*RainbowL**RainbowR* OVERALL THOUGHTS: My heart went out to Graham. To lose love because of war and have so many memories and no one to share them with is heartbreaking. You did a good job of relaying these things. *RainbowL**RainbowR*

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only the opinion of this reader and intended to help, not to criticize. *Smile*

*Peace* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: The rhythm is off in some of the lines. For example, "fine" and "time", and "come" and "run" do not rhyme. Other than that, I have no suggestions to offer for improvement. *Peace*

*Gold* CHARACTERS: N/A *Gold*

*Flowerb* PLOT: N/A *Flowerb*

*RainbowL**RainbowR* OVERALL OPINION: Other than a couple of lines being off rhythm, the rest of the poem followed a good rhyming pattern. I thought it read a lot like "Cinderella" with the stepsisters, Prince, the ball, and happy ending. An enjoyable poem! *RainbowL**RainbowR*

*Idea* ERRORS: No grammatical or others were spotted. *Idea*

*Exclaim* SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of for improvement. *Exclaim*

*Star* WHAT I LIKED: You did a good job of expressing so much in just a few short lines. That isn't easy to do. Your feelings about the nature of man is relayed clearly, although I do not agree that it is unworthy of remembrance by any means. The path is merely part of life's learning experiences to better ourselves in my opinion. *Star*

*Flower1* CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A *Flower1*

*Writing* OVERALL OPINION: Other than those mentioned above, the rhythm is good. I liked the way you focus on being strong despite obstacles that might seem difficult to hurdle. Genuine love is not based on hatefulness and iciness, but on honesty and security as mentioned in the poem. *Writing*

*Snow1* ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were spotted, and I can't think of anything that would improve the poem. *Snow1*

*Star* WHAT I LIKED: The rhythm and imagery are outstanding! I wouldn't want to play hide and seek with the beast, and would be just as fearful as you are. *Worry* I certainly wouldn't want the hairy creature as a bride either. The poem is dark and well written. Loved it! *Star*

*Idea* ERRORS: No spelling or others were spotted. *Idea*

*Reading* SUGGESTIONS: I would change "in my head" to "inside". I think it would read better like that. I would also change "fits me like...." to "fits like a....". *Reading*

*Star* OVERALL OPINION: The rhythm is good, and the emotions expressed just as well. You did a super job of defining the meaning of love from the first stanza to the final one. *Star*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: The characters are relayed in a touching way, and the storyline superb. *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: I was moved when reading Magda's message to James. This is a real tear-jerker, yet inspiring as well. It would be great if everyone was cherished the way she treasured James. You managed to express a lot in such a short letter. LOVED IT! *Stardavid*

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: The only suggestion I have to offer is that "Never she felt...." reads off to me. Only a humble opinion, but I think "She never felt...." sounds better. *Santahat*

*Stardavid* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A *Stardavid*

*Snow1* Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. *Snow1*

*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A period should come after "your eyes". Semi-colons should replace the commas following "smile at me" and "Hug me". A period should follow "background" and "luck". No comma is needed after "would have mattered". Being as it is used in some of the lines, punctuation would make for a better presentation if used in all of them. Only a humble opinion though. *Smile* *Snowman*

*Santahat* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A *Santahat*

*Xmastree* MY LIKES: You did a sensational job of expressing the pain felt because your feeling weren't shared by the individual. I hope the poem is fictional, for emotions like these oftentimes leave permanent scars. I thought it was so sweet to wish this person luck despite the hurt felt. *Xmastree*

*Stardavid* MY DISLIKES: There was nothing I disliked. *Stardavid*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: N/A *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: You did a super job of combining the train with emotions and the imagery used in expressing them. I liked that. Like mentioned in the poem, I also believe that if the ties are strong enough and we do not allow ourselves to be influenced by others that there is hope for a brighter future. Well done! *Stardavid*

SIMPLY POSITIVE AND JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER

*Snow1* Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. *Snow1*

*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should follow 2009. "we had made through" should be "we had made it through". A comma should come after "disabled", "disappeared", and "buy groceries". "My landlord...." is a run on sentence. I would consider cutting it down a bit. Again, this is only an opinion. *Smile* A period should replace the comma that follows "this could be", "he" capitalized afterward, and a comma come after "our country". More of these were spotted throughout the story as well. *Snowman*

*Santahat* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The characters were described in a from-the-heart fashion, and the storyline just as heartwarming. *Santahat*

*Xmastree* MY LIKES: I enjoyed the way everyone helped you out of a bad situation to remind you of all He did for us and what the real meaning of the holiday is. KEEP WRITING! *Xmastree*

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize.

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Commas should follow "this point", "right age", and "right area". No comma is needed after "that photo". A comma should follow "my mother's". A period should replace the comma after "my position". The sentence beginning with "I have total control...." is incomplete. Perhaps something like "changed my name so...???. "had run" should be had "ran" instead. Others like these noticed throughout the short story also. *Santahat*

*Snowman* CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: I felt that naming the characters would make them easier to relate to, and that defining them more would make for a better read. Only a humble opinion though. *Smile* The storyline is good overall, but needs some editing. *Snowman*

*Stardavid* OVERALL THOUGHTS: As mentioned above, I think the story is good overall. The secret the main character held was one I think should be addressed in the best interest of all concerned, although I'm also aware that this wouldn't be easy. *Stardavid*

*Snow1* Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. *Snow1*

*Snowman* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No comma is needed after "been like that" and "house now". "and" should follow "still on". Commas should come after "good repair" and "by and large". A comma should follow "But that's okay". Other than these, nothing else was noticed, and there are no suggestions for improvement. *Snowman*

*Santahat* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Mother and Mrs. Cobb are defined well, and the storyline eerie. *Santahat*

*Xmastree* MY LIKES: The broom exchange between Mother and Mrs. Cobb was unique, although I'm certain Mrs. Cobb didn't care for it in the long run. My favorite paragraphs were the one about the closet and "bad people". My heart went out to the child even as demented as he was. *Xmastree*

*Stardavid* MY DISLIKES: There really aren't any, although giving the "I" character a name would make the person easier to relate to in my opinion. *Stardavid*

*Idea* ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: "dove fells" should be "dove fell". A comma should replace the period following "best companion", and "And" not capitalized. "at god" should be "at God". "His grandmother seated beside bed" and the one that comes after it are incomplete sentences. Others like these noticed throughout the short story as well. *Idea*

*Exclaim* OVERALL OPINION: I felt more definition should be given to the characters, although you did a super job of expressing their emotions. I also think giving the characters names would make them easier to relate to. Just humble opinions though. *Smile* *Exclaim*

*Star* CHARACTERS & PLOT: As mentioned above, more definition of the characters would make them easier to relate to. I think the storyline is good, especially the paragraph about happiness. I found that to be so uplifting. *Star*

*Xmastree* Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize your work. *Smile*

*RainbowL**RainbowR* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should follow "the distraction". A comma should replace the period after "being read", and "But" not capitalized. O would change "grab your phone" to "grab the phone". I think it reads better that way. "He picked the handset" is an incomplete sentence. I would change it to "He picked up the handset" or something similar. A comma should follow "For a moment there". A comma should also come after "Eventually". I would change "She came Tuesdays and Fridays" to "She came on Tuesdays and Fridays". Again, I think it reads better like that. Others like these noticed as well. I would shorten the length of the story as well.*RainbowL**RainbowR*

*Exclaim* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Aaron and Pennington are defined the best in my opinion, and the storyline very good. *Exclaim*

*Peace* OVERALL OPINION: The imagery used in describing the characters and settings is fabulous. I could almost see the gravel road, the stream, and other settings, and almost hear Aaron's thoughts, which held my interest from beginning to end. My favorite paragraphs were the ones where the voices in Aaron's head said someone was out to kill him, the one about the Wizard of Oz, and all of the ones about the ballroom. WRITE ON! *Peace*

*Santahat* ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Some of the paragraphs are broken when not needed. For example, paragraphs four through eight should be one paragraph being as all of them pertain to the same thing. A comma is not needed after "and mask", and one should follow "the children scream". Several others like these noticed also. *Santahat*

*Stardavid* CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Marnie< brad, and the children are defined well, and the storyline terrific. *Stardavid*
