MECHANICS: "i" should be capitalized, and "hopeing" should be "hoping" instead.
SUGGESTIONS: Just my humble opinion, but I think using punctuation where needed and putting the poem into verses would make for a better presentation.
MY FAVORITES: You did a good job of relaying the reasons you wanted to hang on to the relationship, but felt it must be ended. You are right. There is always hope though.
SUGGESTIONS: None that would possibly improve the entry.
MY FAVORITES: The rhythm is perfect, and the poem outstanding. You did a magnificent job of using the prompt and relaying an inspiring message. Knowing He is with us and keeping the faith always leads us to contentment and serenity even when we think the dark days are getting the better of us.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: Not a mistake was spotted, and I cannot think of any suggestions to improve the entry.
MY THOUGHTS: You used this weeks prompt wonderfully. When the dark things in life get the better of you, you turn to Him for that rainbow and light. I liked that. He sees us through everything. It is all about faith.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were spotted, and I can think of no suggestions for improving the piece.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: You did a fantastic job of using the prompt for this week. The rhythm is super, and the message very inspirational. I liked the way Rachel's skepticism turned to faith. Her rainbow definitely had a silver lining.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would possibly make for an improvement.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The rhythm is outstanding, and the imagery just as superb. I liked the emotion used when writing about the kettle's thoughts. I thought the poem was terrific.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Not a mistake was spotted, and I cannot think of any suggestions for improvement.
CHARACTERS: N/A
PLOT: N/A
MY LIKES: The imagery used in defining everything from the monoliths to lobby is excellent, and the man's emotions relayed just as well. I could almost smell the scent of the garlic and bread from the restaurant. What I liked best though was the realism of the man's day and how he found solitude.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: The question mark following "ask" should come after "bona-fide love" instead. "How these days of our relation" is an incomplete sentence. "Far our pain" should be "For our pain". "lord" should be capitalized. Just an opinion, but I also think far too many exclamation marks are used.
WHAT I LIKED: You did a good job of expressing how deeply this individual is loved, and why you feel this way.

ERRORS: There is a larger space than necessary after "so much that", and "fifi" should be capitalized.
SUGGESTIONS: The only one I have to offer is that I think using capitalization and punctuation where needed would make for a better presentation. Keep in mind that this is only an opinion though.
OVERALL OPINION: You did a fantastic job of relaying how much your grandfather and his pet meant to you. I was brokenhearted when reading how your grandparent passed after his beloved Fifi did. Thank you for sharing this with us.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No punctual or other mistakes were spotted, and I cannot think of any suggestions for improvement.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: You did a fine job of relaying how destructive relationships like this can be. Abusive relationships are horrifying and painful that usually leave one scarred, which is clearly pointed out in the poem. I certainly hope this is fictional.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were spotted, and there are no suggestions I can think of for improving the piece.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: The imagery used in describing emotions and the taunting dragon is super. My favorites stanzas are the ones about drawing the sword to find peace and the sacrifices you know must be made to capture your hearts desire. Awesome poem!
Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize your work.
ERRORS: Commas should follow "Well", "girl", "anyways" be "anyway", "But i" be "But I", "over all" be "overall", "Its clearly" be "It's clearly", "I Bet" be "I bet", "more then" be "more than", "valentine's" be capitalized, and numerous others like these.
SUGGESTIONS: Other than some editing for punctual and spelling errors, there are none.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: You did a good job of relaying how words can be as painful as a weapon and how painful it is when you trust the love another gives you only to find out it is not everlasting.

ERRORS: A couple were noticed. For example, a comma should replace the period following "parents said" and "And" not capitalized.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of for improvement.
MY FAVORITES: The rhythm is sensational, and the imagery just as good. The poem read almost like a Jack and Jill piece, except more advanced and for older audiences.
SIMPLY POSITIVE AND JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO GROUP LEADER
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work. "I was setting" should be "I was sitting", a comma follow "stood up", a comma replace the period after "makeup again", and "And" that follows it not capitalized. "down stairs" should be "downstairs", "dress dress" be "dress", "daisys" should be "daisies", and numerous others like these were noticed as well. I also think I is used too closely together.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Jane is defined well, but I think Carter's characteristics need more. The storyline is good overall, but needs some editing.
MY THOUGHTS: I definitely think Carter gave Jane an everlasting memory, and could see why she fell in love with him.
SUGGESTIONS: I cannot think of any for improvement.
WHAT I LIKED: The rhythm is perfect, and the imagery just as excellent. It is not difficult for a reader to envision the strong hands and weathered face of the character. I had no personal favorites. The entire poem is great.
This review is being made on behalf of the Simply Positive & WDC Power Raiders Groups.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: The rhyming pattern is off in several of the verses, but no spelling or other errors were spotted, and I have no suggestions for improving the item other than the one mentioned above.
OVERALL OPINION: The verses flow well in most of the stanzas, and the imagery is terrific. It is easy envisioning the dark face of the child. Memories like these haunt one forever. It breaks my heart knowing children suffer these ordeals and their dreams destroyed.
ERRORS: The rhyming patters is off in some of the lines. For example, "arrows" and "shadows"; "froze" and "brows"; "captain" and "Falcon" do not rhyme. No comma is needed after "Sun" (which need not be capitalized) in the first stanza or "clouds" in the second.
SUGGESTIONS: None other than those mentioned above.
OVERALL OPINION: Most of the verses flow well, and the imagery is sensational. It was easy envisioning the cold eyes of the captain and the dark clouds and moonlight.
SUGGESTIONS: There are none to offer with the exception that you keep writing these fabulous pieces.
MY FAVORITES: I was not surprised to find that they rhythm is outstanding and the sentiments for the ash tree and nest just as superb. Your love for nature is as great as mine.

ERRORS: Some punctual errors were noticed. Being as it is used in some of the lines, it should be used in all of them for a better presentation. Just my humble opinion though. For example, commas should follow "torn apart", "lazy", and "drunk".
SUGGESTIONS: None other than the ones mentioned above.
OVERALL OPINION: You did a good job of expressing what you think others feel about the homeless, although I do not think invisibility is the answer or that most feel similarly. There are numerous ways one that is homeless can help themselves. There are shelters, churches, taking on a job or two, and help from the state until they are able to provide for themselves.

Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only the opinion of this reader and intended to help, not to criticize.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Just this readers humble opinion, but I think the poem would make for a better presentation if capitalization and punctuation were used where needed. I also think "beauty" is used too closely together. Only an opinion though.
CHARACTERS: N/A
PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: You did a fantastic job of relaying the love felt for this individual and how difficult long distance relationships can be. WRITE ON!
ERRORS: A comma should replace the period after "boiling", and "Like" not capitalized in paragraph one. The same applies to "So cold, "But (but) so strong, and "They" not capitalized.
SUGGESTIONS: Is "You are not my friend" supposed to be used twice in the first paragraph?
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The first paragraph reads more like a script than a story, but is much better in the paragraphs that follow it. The characters are defined well, and the storyline written with realism. I liked that. I felt sorry for Auka for the disabilities he had, yet found it inspiring that his friends and the healer were so loyal and good to him. Keep writing!
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: No mechanical errors were spotted, and there are no suggestions for improvement.
OVERALL OPINION: The rhythm is super, and the imagery rocks. It is easy envisioning the birds and other surroundings, and the message is fantastic. It is not about what ones religion might be, but about the individual him/herself.
