Hello peterelbe

I have enjoyed reading through this descriptive peace.
My little review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

Your day at the lake has taken you down the memory lane. Your are looking at the past in a new light. By far it helps you understand the way you perceive the present.
For example the pebble throwing incident, which no longer interest you as it used to be. You also added a personal angle to it, with which I wholeheartedly agree.
"Besides he did not like pelting the stream. Over the years it had become like a special friend.."

Nature is at her best if no one disturbs her calm.

The story ended quite naturally. As he dozed lulled by the murmuring stream and the birds around.

Very picturesque!

Hello Jenny,

Funny little poem!
Thoroughly enjoyable.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

Halloween atmosphere is created very well in this nicely flowing verse. You brought in the horror element with the witch’s potion stirring in the cauldron, zombies, ghouls, goblins and the ghosts.

Words are used economy conveying exactly what is needed

I find it specially interesting that flying witch wishes the world, a happy halloween.

Imagery appeals to senses.

Hello Christine,

this highly personalized description of coffee got me to the quick. Everything about that mug of coffee at that special moment attains a meaning and local habitation.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a lovely day!

The beauty of this piece is that you have taught me how to make an alluring mug of coffee, mixing my motive and desire for it.
You have used all the senses for the benefit of describing the ultimate taste of coffee. Ah, how heavenly it tastes!

Imagery is sensory and appeals to me from the beginning till you have the steaming brew in your hands.

Interesting!

Hello Robinson,

I am truly impressed with the irony you used describing the best days of your life. Instead of mourning the loss of a nice day, you preferred the opposite. I appreciate that because in life I have come across several such incidents. Nothing like staying indifferent to such things.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

Each day is made interesting by showing some mishap or the other, punctuated by, but, still, nevertheless and so on.

It is a bit of a consolation to find that such days are almost over. The rest hopefully would be all good ones minus unwanted things.
Well, we never know.

I love the style, the voice and the content of this very real poem.

It flows well with visual imagery and clear feelings.

Hello Donna,
I have enjoyed this short story. It is really touching.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

It made me realize that gestures and timely help, help children grow into persons glowing with kindness and generosity.

The characters bring out this fact quite convincingly.
Ending is a true surprise.
She would know the change for the better in her son.

I appreciate your writing style and the ability to say a lot with controlled expression.

Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hello Chris Breva,

I find this free verse quite endearing.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations!
Have a wonderful day!

You have given me a good taste of West Virginia, its scenic beauty and its good natured people. This kind of place would be ideal for anyone.

The fact that you sometimes sleep without closing the doors is something unheard of where I live.
A fearless and free land is something idyllic.

With the river and the hill, nature seems to be kindly disposed to the people of West Virginia.

This poem flows well with simple word choices and appealing descriptive lines.

Imagery is visual and enjoyable.

Hello Katwoman,

I stopped to re-read certain lines because it looked as though it was me. It is as if you are spreading the panorama of life before my eyes.

I wonder whether you need to think of calling yourself a poet, when you know what it feels like one. Your verses prove that. Your words ooze sensitivity and lyrical charm.

Only a poet is aware of truth, painful though it might be.

"My life, then, would seem as though
it had been a clever choice and those around me
who have no use for my words
would be spared having to read them."

So what? Loss is theirs. As long as your words are a spontaneous flow of feelings, does it matter if others read them?

Your reflections are observations of life's lessons and experiences, the quintessence of real poetry.

I can see despite "regret" and "self pity," you enjoy writing, the blessed silver lining in the cloud.
Being "conventional" adds to confidence and uniqueness, particularly to poetry like yours.

Thank you for sharing your talent.

Have a wonderful, lovely WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi Mumsy,
It’s a lovely reflection on nature.
Two different sides of nature, each with its own uniqueness is well presented.

On the one hand, you dealt with nature appreciating its beauty and blessedness, on the other, you have shown what it means to have a newborn in the human world.

I appreciate the flowing prose by which means you have the beneficence of nature to all of us.

All the senses are aptly used .
It’s a reader’s delight.

Have a lovely WDC Account Anniversary.

I find this supernatural story very interesting.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of another year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

The story is pretty novel. I find all the various supernatural clans are living within short distance of each other and that they started being friendly neighbors too.
We did read that werewolves and vampires don't see eye to eye. Witches and sorcerers have the same problem.
Your brought three of them together and created some friendly conversations too. Those exchanges are quite interesting too.

" “The witches are chanting deep in the forest....""

It is an absorbing story.

No wonder you have been thinking about Abe Lincoln, his values and ideals. The occasion calls for it.

To me, he is iconic. A strong and supportive person that happens one in a century.
The fact that your uncle willed it to you sounds special. He must have loved him too. Perhaps, he wanted someone who respects the giant of a man as he did.

“ One artefact from a distant kin”

Life was certainly a struggle during those pages of history.

Structured poem flows well with contemplative tone and mood,

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary.

Hello Simply Blue,

I am taken by the title first, and then the content itself.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being an active creative member of the WDC for one more year. Have a wonderful day!

I too like those reflective afternoons and empty playgrounds. The sun sometimes, especially in summer is hot enough to make me stay in shelter. But as I cycle around the playground of the school nearby, I feel the welcoming warmth of the afternoon sun on my skin during the early winter days.

You said there is something sad about this atmosphere. True, because there's no one around and it as if they abandoned the sun and nature looks lonely too.

However, your thoughts have shown that nature looks beautiful at any hour of the day. It changes color and ambiance. It has its own charm all through the day.

I like the reflective tone and the leisurely pace of the piece.

It reads well.

Hello Spiritual D,

this is an inspiring write from any angle, rhyme, rhythm, content and imagery.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of of creativity at the WDC.
Have a wonderful day!

This poem of rhyming couplets depicts the poet’s passion to find a way “to sit upon the star” with the help of his pen.

Pleasing Images like the one above are rare to come across. It helped me imagine going up there and to think of nice things like touching a smiling moon.

The tone of introspection reveals the fact that a poem rooted in truth is a source of joy.
“Expressing one’s soul is a pleasure and joy”

Rhyme and rhythm go hand in hand.

It flows well.

Hello Marie,

This sweet rhyme is spun on precious memories. It contains some inspiring observations.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on entering a new year of creativity at the WDC. Have lovely day!

The picture you painted after life is alluring enough to think of death with hope. The hope is not only to walk with God but also to meet the departed dear ones.

You also pointed out that life and death are two natural ends of creation.

I appreciate the imagery, word choices and the flow.

Hi Blue Jay,

Yes, this is more like my day too.
You did a great job parodying Christmas. Any festival could be jarring for the wife with a job.

This looks like everybody decided to give you a trying day, the headache being the result.

Fun line:
"When I walk through my door to find that my kid has lost his mind
Now he's eating sticks"

You have created a real entertainer highlighting how tough a daily routine could be for a mother and one who takes care of the dog and cat too.

The rhythm is intact and it moves well with the way she feels the boredom yet loving it. All of it grows on one I guess.

"I can really begin to sing, 'cause I wouldn't change a thing"

It flows well.

This poem is just right for this generation. Or, for any generation.
Seasons of life and their attendant cravings and misgivings are well depicted.

Regret, worry and concern rule the players on the stage of life. You have shown freedom from attachments alone can let mind wander and find salvation.

Rhyming couplets contain philosophy of life in a nutshell.

Images from life flash before my mind’s eye.

Thank you for a nice poem.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi,
I find this poem pretty awesome. My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on opening to a new creative year at the WDC. Have a great day.

Although it sounds like lullaby, it has this aura of mystery surrounding it. Who is he? what is the child's connection to him? Similar questions come to my mind.

There's no mention of father. So I cannot presume the person in the context to be her father.

However, the last stanza clarifies that he is no more. Dead and gone to an unfathomable distance. He is not even remembered by many. He must have been dead for a long time now.
So why would the mother want the kid to recall him and her memories of him now?

As I said, I find it interesting.

It flows very well with rhythm intact.

Hi Erin,

as the title suggests, the poem is marked by beauty.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another year of creativity at the WDC. Enjoy your day!

I certainly like to meet this man, who appears to be the very form of beauty.

"He has the most beautiful mind"
I find this of key importance in a man.

The first stanza shows the reasons why you find him so appealing.

It is an emotional poem wherein the poet is in love with not just the idea of beauty but an example of it in her own life.

Imagery appeals as do the word choices.

Free style poem flows well.

Hi,

it is a cute little poem. I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on going to the next year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

Fear of being hurt is expressed in an appealing way. All the important occasions in life are presented here.
fly,soar,connect, love, cure and death are the times when you require help from others and there are chances of being hurt everywhere.

But life happens without what we want.

It is funny how you want everything to happen without being hurt. Or on second thoughts you might make it possible too. Who knows?

Certainly amusing couplets.

Hello Bren

it is a pleasure to read this wonderful poem on music and its import in our lives.

I picked it from your port to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another creatively active year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

As you said in the poem, music is sublime, a language of the soul. It has the power to cross language barriers to have an uplifting effect on the listener. It is difficult to imagine life without music. In India ( my country) every event from birth to death has a song made to bring out its importance.

Religious and devotional music can bring in vital changes in the life of a person or persons.

"For we all have need of music
And the loving bonds it gives,"

That music is superior that lets us communicate with God, tell him of our pains and pleasures and express gratitude for His support and love.

It has images from life that capture my imagination.

It flows well with with a precise rhythm.

I can see that you are magically floored by love. Love never alters and even if it does, it will alter to something better.

It is difficult to explain the effect of love.
A bit off the usual comparisons, Shakespeare compares lovesickness to a “tooth ache”.

Sounds funny, yet on second thoughts, it sounds true. It continues to bother till you find the antidote.

“ Life would be unbearable if we were apart.”

This is quite a realistic poem on love with true to life imagery.


Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hi,
I find the comparison of life with a maze is not far from truth. Unless we think with a clear mind devoid of fear, we can get lost or bewildered in a maze. So it is with life.
However, even if it is possible to reach the end logically, with all those attendant good and bad choices, death is unavoidable.

Pretty good prose piece to contemplate and discuss.

Language has appeal.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary.

Hello ruwth,
this is an extraordinary story of faith. I am truly amazed at the sequence of events that took place in your life.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on ushering in another creative year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

The painful stages of surgery and the aftermath are quite touching. Life, as you have described appears full of trials.

It is quite by luck that you found a kind pastor, who helped you in the best way he could.
And a miracle followed.
“….I was being healed.”

Clearly, you have been the chosen one. Lord be praised. Your belief in Him is exemplary.

Language and style appeal to me besides the content.

Discovering your real dream is not what it seemed, is well shown in this short. No need to settle for something that doesn’t last.

My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations! Have a wonderful day.

You have effectively shown through the characters you have portrayed that there is no special appeal in merely falling for a guy who lacks an opinion of his own.
The story is quite realistic. But then, how many would give it a thought as your character did? Not many to speak frankly.
Reality hits much later much to regret.

Enjoyed the dialog and the aftermath.

Hi Lesley,
I can see how committed you are for preserving water.
My review is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations for being an active member at the Wdc for another year. Have a wonderful day.
Many of the 28 provinces in India, where I come from, used suffer from water shortage. This condition changed after the government implemented water harvesting programme in all the states. Water harvesting is mainly intended to save rain water so as not to let the underground water levels dwindle. With various mechanisms in place, the country is free of water problem, presently.

Many of your suggestions make sense. Appreciate the examples you have given in support of the points you discussed. If the party in power wills, it can solve several problems.

My review is for your Wdc Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being a creative member of the Wdc for another year. Have a wonderful day!

Life becomes a challenge when expectations are not met with, when dreams turn to disasters.
Your feelings and fears are clear and understandable. We walk into traps made by the self with our eyes open. We can’t blame anyone, not even fate.

What I appreciate is your language and style. Meticulous grammar and construction of sentences make the piece quite effortless and spontaneous.
