Review of Don't I Know You?  
Review by jaya

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi Norma

it is an engaging story with interesting characters.

Memories can be truly genuine and cause reunions of the rare kind, like the one that took place between Linda and George. I could see the strength of his memory as he persisted in following her despite her withdrawal and fright.
"A memory popped up, two children playing outside"

The sheer description of the crowds through which George reached out and called her name you created curiosity and hope . The moment of remembrance was painted very well with convincing imagery. The milling crowds fading out with the two people living in a moment of recognition and reunion appeal to me.

It must have been winner, if am not mistaken.

Review of A Child's Story

Hello Chris Breva,

I read the story and found it interesting. I also appreciate the way you understand the 'energies that remain "behind".
Little Joey's death by murder was discovered quite convincingly.
That means this incident took place just before the author moved into the house. The buried body was excavated and sent for testing the lungs. Do you mean there is still possibility to for testing the water in the lungs of the dead body? Doesn't it decompose and thus is useless for testing purposes?

It was a new kind of crime detection certainly for me.

Another inspiring poem from your pen, dear friend.

This is exactly how I fight anxiety and worry. A good word from a friend or sister, a brother or a neighbor helps me in maintaining the rhythm of life and find happiness in it.
" ... a good word makes it glad"

As you have said, the approach of night brings on unwanted thoughts to stir fear and loneliness in mind and spirit. Your poem has the best remedy for this malady. Open your book of prayers and read through the verses with love and hope. A wonderful feeling of relief descends and a person finds his/her normal cheerful self.

"I whisper a prayer,
open the sacred scriptures"

The title enhances the effect of the poem.
Images are heart-warming and appealing to my mind as well.

It flows well.

Review of AUTUMN YEARS

Hi Monty,

you painted a lovely picture of the season of plenty, beauty and delight.
I am reminded of the flaming reds and the shining golds and the bright oranges of the flora and the horizon as well. The Supreme painter be praised.

Autumn weather comes through this delightful poem rather transparently.
"The sun still warms the earth,
yet there’s a briskness in the air."

Whether it is human season or the nature's season, I can see that autumn has a way of bringing comfort to all.

Imagery is eye-filling with color and heart-warming with joy.

Structured poem flows well.

Hi Kathrine,

this review of mine is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another productive year at the WDC. Have a lovely anniversary.

I find this absolutely touching. The pain and misery of losing someone you love and live for, are impressively conveyed through this poem.

The raw pain comes through each word the rhythm is one of sadness and longing to be united with the loved one.

"The pain I can not describe
My heart is ripped inside."

Imagery is visual and appeals to my heart and mind. Excellent word choices and spontaneous and natural feelings are carried throughout the poem. The title gets me to the quick. Absolutely on spot.

Free verse flows well.

Review of Snow Angels

Hi,
You took me to the world of snow angels. This review of your flash is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another enjoyable year of creativity at the WDC. Have a wonderful day.

You have presented a lovely view of a freezing winter as you sat on the bench in the park. The setting is attractive from the word go.
The boy looked lonely just for a while and then we have a fantastic world where snowflakes surround him.
No number of medicines cured him despite stopping the dream for a while, because the angel is back and he was happily warm with his never ending dream.

The ailment continues.

Imagery is the very strength of the flash along side admirable language and style.

Ghost story with a twist.
Relief is that Griff exited before being mauled by the dead woman’s persistent lecherous ghost.

Money works for a while. What works beyond that is shown diagrammatically in this story. Not too scary on the surface but imagining what could have happened might be a little unsettling .

Like other ghost houses, this too has its places of strangeness.

It is such a solace to read a conclusion like this on death. That there are stars lingering for us is a wonderful thought.
The example of a little girl’s relief after the injury is clearly shown with the starman helping her to recover.
Death is not a threat but it is something one has to have no fears about.
This is a special, symbolic.

Hi,

I find this poem containing memories is penned in a very special way. Here’s a review on it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on another year of success.
Have a wonderful day!

Memories, in this poem, do not just find mention, but this free style poem reflects associations as well. Well thought over and a leisurely paced poem.
The nephew comes into picture who caused a sweet journey to begin.
“Brought us together for a lifelong encounter”

So nicely stated.

The uniqueness is to continue feeling the miracle of happiness in memories.
Imagery is from real life. It is visual and it appeals to me.

I realize that writing is not only to express the inner voice but also to expand your wings of creativity, be it a research topic, poem or a story. If writing needs to be balanced, we need to control our instincts to go haywire. That is why we need to go through the process of revision after every addition to the essay or a story. This covers grammatical issues and linguistic changes as well.
I appreciate your preparation prior to writing. Reading widely on various topics, referring to dictionaries(I favor Oxford Learners' dictionary, Webster's), and writing freely before editing are vital to writing.
A very important contribution for my writing process to succeed is from Online courses on various topics. This gives me a chance to participate in group discussions and reading their points of contribution to the said course.
I have learnt from your article some vital aspect of writing.

Thanks for turning the searchlight on how to write.

Hello Violet,
I am reviewing this touching poem for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another active year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

This item although looks like a prose poem, flows like a spontaneous free style composition.
The man in here, your father, obviously suffered from bottling up feelings for years. When loneliness hits a person, it becomes the catalyst hitting the wall between himself and his feelings. And so the floodgates open and he gets submerged in the flood of memories and his association with them.
“The tears that welled to his surprise....”
I note that his tears were unexpected to him and that they bring peace and release to his suffering self.
You portray the picture of a strong man turning weak in spirit and flesh. A very moving poem with visual imagery.

Review of Lazy  
Review by jaya
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello Thea Marie,

this poem of yours brings to my mind the picture of a person, whom I would describe relaxing rather than being lazy.

You did say it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving. What do you expect other than lazing away on the next day. It is a delicious experience to stay in bed for as long as the body and mind want.
"Can’t you see
That I’m liking it?"

Attractively repetitive, this particular metaphor,
"I am a slug;
Dragging,
Crawling,"
paints the movements of the body and the picture of the mind that is consciously lazing away. These are the days that rejuvenates a person and recharges the energy necessary to go through the day-to-day life.

Free-style composition flows well.

Have a wonderful WDC Account Anniversary!

Hello there!

this poem impressed me so much that I am writing a review on it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another year of successful writing at the WDC. Have a joyous day!

You have shown the multiple ways in which writing can be done and so well too. I realize the scope to write on different aspects of life is vast and various.

This verse appears to be free-style composition but the rhythm is unmistakable and precise. You take me to different worlds where imagination turns fertile and lets us fly on its fantastic wings. There is beauty and wonder, there is action and adventure, there is feud and villainy as well.
"Reveal a villain, one who perhaps, is merely a victim."

Cooking is one of the best topics to write about. It lets us practice writing skills in a unique way.

Thank you for a wonderful poem.

The intensity of the struggle for representation could be seen in this articles. It is newspaper cuttings such as these, that give us a clear idea and view of history as it unfolded at that moment of time. It was a vital moment for the colonies. They declared independence indirectly.
Known as Boston Tea Party, the incident was famous for its defiance of the British imposition of "taxation without representation". "Sons of Liberty" will forever be remembered for their dare and courage in emptying shiploads of tea into the sea. It was the first major act of defiance against the British rule over the colonists.
I can well imagine the fury and frustration of the British. East India Company played a major role in expanding the frontiers of the British Empire throughout the world . They came for trade and settled as rulers in India as well. It is another story how this occupations was possible.

The estimates at the end of the article are mind-blowing. However, no cost is less for Independence from foreign yoke.

Thanks for sharing this article that reported a groundbreaking incident in Boston's port.

I felt that in this poem, every word and the feelings expressed are sincere and uttered from the depths of your heart.

In this free-style composition, you have used simple terms with profound meanings.
“...when you hold me in your arms....moment in time for always.”

I can call this a prose poem with all poetic devices in place. Imagery paints scenes from real life, yet waxing with sentimental love.
The lovers are engrossed with each other and the world fades away behind them.

It flows well.
Happy wdc Account Anniversary! Have wonderful day!

Hello Bill,
This is a touching story well-written in free style verse. My review of it is for your Wdc Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another creative year at the Wdc. Have a celebratory day.

I could understand that all was not well between the brothers prior to that night . That must be a happy night when the breach was cemented.
Those few lines caught the mood and mind set of both the brothers. In a silent yet spontaneous gesture, he was able to express his feelings of remorse of the past and love and happiness at the present reunion.
The silent witness has a key role too by implying the value and need of sibling.
It has a prose format. Yet, the pauses, silence and the brief exchange are powerfully poetic.
Imagery is visual with a dramatic effect.
Quite enjoyable.

Hello there,

I have picked this poem on a memorable friend to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being an active member of the WDC for another year.Have a wonderful day!

The theme is attractive. It is so true that true friends are like angels in disguise. It is lucky that you came across this friend who is always in your memory.
As I see memories of this person act like a soothing balm when you feel lonely.

The portrait you have drawn is quite catchy and I see why you love this friend so much. He/she is charming both physically and mentally.

"On why thoughts of you make me smile
Or how you make my heart jump."

Imagery is visual and appeals to my mind.

Review of A moment in Time  
Review by jaya

Hi,

this is a appealing take on life. You said,
"To live is not without its suffering,"
I will go step further and say, to live is suffering mostly. We feel the pinch of pain more than the times of pleasure. (that's why tragedies are forever whereas comedies are not that well remembered.)Sometimes nothing remains. Life is just one big cipher.

You are so right. Time makes no differences. Moments are the same. We attribute to them our own impressions.
The last paragraph shows the person as mangled heap of pain, failure and disillusion.
Moments like these are common for those who think deeply about things, of life, love, hate and the elusiveness of flashes of wisdom.
Loved your style, use of language and contemplative mode.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Snow,

It's my pleasure to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing one more marvelously creative year at the WDC. Have a lovely day!

This item is invaluable to anyone irrespective of he or she, a writer or not. These quotes are relevant to all and those who follow them will definitely find happiness always.

Some of them are sheer magic while a few others are great models for life.

"You, the individual, can change the world--
by changing yourself you change the world in which
you live--your are a component of God's infinite creation."

I find this simply awesome like others. I like this because it tells me the secret of happiness and how to find it by simple means. If I behave in a befitting way, others living around me feel like following me and thus we contribute to general well-being and peaceful co-existence.

Thank you for thinking and putting those good things of life for all.

Review of Sacred Ground  
Review by jaya
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Imagery gets me, makes me breathless. Rare poetic zeal, spontaneous and colourful.
“meet me in the hills” sounds romantic and a bit mysterious as well.
Throughly spiritual, it thrills me to see them, an angel and a mortal. It is not just another mundane meeting. The fair-winged angel leading the woman of exceeding devotion to heaven’s gate through the hills, lochs,
and rivers makes intensely appealing image.
As I read through the exchange, I can visualize them flying across the sacred land.
Spirituality comes through appropriate use of words such as, “sacred grounds” “devotion and desire “white feathered wings” “light of wonder” and “heavenly time”.
The feeling of sublime pleasure throughout the poem is unmistakable.

It flows well right into my heart.

Write on!

Rhythm gets me to the quick more than other elements of this Pantoum.

Precise structure and a model one for me. The casualness of composition makes me fee at ease with the form and prompts me to go for a poem of my own.

Standing in line when lights go out, a fleeting apprehension("I’m soon to be finished— no doubt.") between the lines and then with the lights on, enthusiasm to live it up also switches on.

"My moment of darkness has passed.
My spirit is singing, of course!"

Isn't this what life is? Fear and joy, drabness and delight, light and darkness alter throughout this journey.
You see, I see a lot of symbolism too embedded in the Pantoum.

Imagery shows the milieu as well as the poet going through kaleidoscopic feelings.

Wonderful poem!

Heroine's heartbreak is shown quite diagrammatically. It feels realistic and natural. The setting and characters come along as though they have been taking place in the film industry as it were.

The woman's condition even before Danny was lost to the Devil's triangle is one of depression mainly due to her habit of consuming drugs and alcohol. She was already into the soughs of depression. Danny's disappearance only added to her condition of being in the dumps and took her to further ruining her chances of acting. It was unexpected and thus added more drama to the dramatic filming.

This story makes me aware of the kind of conditions that prevail in screen life. The artists live on the edge of life not knowing where and how it ends. They cannot escape from the risks of being physically close to each other and then for a reason beyond their control, they lose footing and slide down finding no friend or solace anywhere. They are left with deep psychological wounds. It is difficult to come out of the trauma. Money can't buy peace.
Such a tragic life!
It is a rare read for me. Thank you.

Hi
You have done a great service by making the Americans aware of the pitiable conditions of the military veterans. Like you said I don't understand. In many countries, the military personnel receive pension and enjoy benefits like fee housing, medical facilities and a discount in all utilities after retirement irrespective of rank and file.
(stores)
But for them, we wouldn't be enjoying peaceful living.
It is astounding to see so many homeless veterans and those who commit suicide.
With more such mobilizing public awareness drives, at least the people of the country should wake up and take notice.

Thank you for sharing.

This romantic poem sounds like a lyrical song of love.
Rhythm gets me along with the telling word choices.
Imagery is even better, showing the seasons, the places and the states of mind through which true love never alters. Alteration in the weather and space make no difference to the two in love forever.
This kind of love is the same through all the ages of love till the end.

"If you cannot love me through out these seasons
Don't love me at all."

Simply stated, but profound indeed.

It flows well.

It's pretty good actually.

You have developed the imaginary garden very well indeed. Given a choice I would definitely like to have similar one planted in my backyard. The roses are enticing and so is the pool provides a kind peace where one can sit and dream of another world.

The old lady obviously the owner of the garden is also an interesting character. surely, she might have her own story to tell.

I realize it is all about the garden and how well one should tend it to keep as beautiful and as fresh always.
