ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling or other mistakes noticed, and there are no suggestions for improving the poem.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The rhythm is perfect, and the message excellent. You are right. One must be strong to make the journey and making the right decisions. This person chose to walk alone, and I found that sad.
ERRORS: No spelling or other mistakes were spotted.
SUGGESTIONS: Only an opinion of this humble reader, but being as rhyme is used in some of the lines, I would do so in all of them.
MY LIKES: The imagery is outstanding, and the message just as good. You did a fantastic job of using the prompt for this week. I am glad Jacob changed in the end.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Not one mistake was spotted, and I cannot think of any suggestions that would improve the cinquain.
CHARACTERS: N/A
PLOT: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: The imagery used in describing the tree and your father is magnificent, and the verses flow perfectly. The poem is both inspiring and sad. Hang on to those beautiful memories.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical, punctual, or other mistakes were noticed, and I have no suggestions to offer for improving the item.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITES: The rhythm is perfect, and the verses story-like. I enjoyed reading about how you began writing and how it progressed as you matured. Terrific poem!
OVERALL IMPRESSION: You did a sensational job with the fifty-five word story. The turtle Jeremy missed had a shocking experience. All puns aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the tale.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: Some punctual errors were noticed. For example, no comma is needed after "I" or "like" in the first and second lines of the first verse, or "between" in the second.
CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: Except for several punctual errors and some of the lines not following the same rhyming pattern as the others, I thought the poem was good. The last two verses were my personal favorites, for they expressed the strength to get out of the things darkening your life and moving on.
Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are only an opinion of this humble reader and intended to help, not to criticize.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: Like the one read before it, the rhythm is off in some of the lines. The only suggestion I have is that following a similar pattern in all of the lines would make for a much better read.
CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A
OVERALL THOUGHTS: This does not sound like a friend many would want. Selfishness and pretense are not part of a lasting camaraderie, which is relayed well in the piece.
ERRORS: The rhyming pattern is off in several of the verses. You begin with one, and then it drifts in and out.
SUGGESTIONS: Other than the one mentioned above, I have none to offer.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: The imagery is super, and the emotions lovely. The perfect mess defined in the poem seemingly turned out to be very special to you. Well done!
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should follow "set-backs" in the first paragraph. "is" should come before "to change" in the second. No comma is needed after "a time" in paragraph three. Several others like these noticed as well.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
SETTING: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: I wholeheartedly agree with many of your opinions. Too many base relationships on infatuation instead of love. Most of these kind of attractions result in nothing more than wasted time. I also agree with your definition of happiness, although I do not think a child's fantasy should be stripped of them. Parents need to remember that children need security, love, and morals. Their parents should not inform them of lost loves or bad relationships until they are at an age where they can comprehend these things.
ERRORS & SUGGESTIONS: A couple of errors were spotted, but did not take away from the poem in my opinion. For example, a comma should follow "gone" and "live" in the first verse.
CHARACTERS & PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: The rhythm is superb, and the prompt for this week used perfectly. The gift given is a magnanimous one. Being a donor is a blessing to so many, which is relayed well in the poem.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling, punctual or other mistakes were spotted, and I cannot think of any suggestions for improving the short story.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The mother was portrayed well in such a short tale, and the storyline unusual, but good.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The plot was mysterious to me. I would love to see more added to it explaining what happened to the parent. Very well written story with such limited word use.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: A comma should follow "Darkness" in the first paragraph, and "this" after "believed". In the third, a comma should follow "magic" and "dark". A comma should follow "suffocating" in the fourth. Just an opinion, but I also think the sentence would make for a better read if worded like this: "He could feel himself suffocating", or "He felt like he was suffocating,". Several others like these noticed throughout the tale as well.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: The spirit and the sorcerer are portrayed well, and the storyline good.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The sorcerer certainly paid an extravagant due for the sins he felt were committed. The plot was good. I found it both dark and mysterious.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Other than a larger space between paragraphs one and two, no other mistakes were spotted. I cannot think of any suggestions for improvement.
CHARACTERS: Cathy and the demon are portrayed well.
PLOT: It held my interest from beginning to the mysterious end.
OVERALL OPINION: Cathy and Peter's blessing certainly turned out to be quite the opposite. I thought the storyline was fantastic. It is dark and mysterious. I liked that.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical or other mistakes were noticed, and I cannot think of any suggestions for improving the story.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Being as the story is dialog, the characters cannot be defined, but the storyline is fantastic.

Hello 🌕 HuntersMoon This is the first of three reviews won by you in
Invalid Item This item number is not valid. #1621199 by Not Available.
ERRORS: Not one was noticed.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of for improving the poem.
MY THOUGHTS: The rhythm is perfect, and the poem reads almost like a short story. From the moment the wife left to meeting his old flame, you did a superb job of relaying that this was only an impulsive act, not one stemming from love, yet fantasy being something shared by most of us.
MECHANICS: Commas should follow "bag" and "survival" in the second paragraph. In the third, a comma should come after "meetings". A comma should follow "you" and "home" in the seventh paragraph, and again after "foot" in the last. No other errors were noticed in making the random read.
SUGGESTIONS: None other than those mentioned above.
MY FAVORITES: With the way Gladys behaved, I can see why Duncan smashed the phone. It is obvious his plan was to fake his demise on the mountain. You did a fantastic job of relaying why he wanted to do so.
WRITE ON!
