Review of Creed II

*Balloonp* Welcome to WDC George! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! *Delight*


Thanks for posting your first item! *Salute* This short item just popped up on the Random reads. It is not a complete story so I am not sure how to rate it. *Smile* I usually taek off ratings for my rougher drafts so folks can comment without having to put a lower rating as it is unfinished work.*Wink* Just an idea. Iknpw you are just getting to know the ropes.

I was intrigued by the title and the mythic names. I like the idea of using them. The piece looks to be a plan or character description for the story. You have listed adjectives and qualities for each character that show they are going to be opposite in nature which may enhance a conflict in the story. Good choices.

"outbursting" is new to me though I know what it means. I am not sure it is an adjective like "reactive" "prone to outbursts" etc. *Wink*

The sentences on the page looks like a starting premise for the story to come.

It is organized and a good idea to have created this for reference and brainstorming. You might put in the tag line that it is a plan. Keep on going!

Have fun at WDC and just holler if you have any questions! *Smile*

Review of Winsome Wants

Rated: E | (4.5)
*Fairy**Angelic*Hiya Fyn! Thanks for being a WDC *Angel* In the Anniversary Auction! *Starstruck*

*Moon*What a intriguing title with its flowing alliteration! I was happy to see more alliteration inside the poem! *Thumbsup* It was a delight to read and wow you really can create a flowy tongue twister.

*Wind* So many w words mixed in with the "wr" sound words like "waxing..wrings' and "waiting...wraiths" slow me down and give me a challenging workout! *Laugh* Inspires me to want to try one and I think it must take time to get it to make sense. Do you gather your words first and then weave them?

*Smile*The imagery is vivid and I was lured in from the first line wondering. So like a run on sentence...er a poem that wanders so that we don't stop in the dark. It was fun.

*Confused* I had to wonder at first what the wolf wraiths were waiting for or does the music "wring" them "forth". Or is the speaker "waiting wolf.." I got a little confused.

*Lightning2* I see the imagination running wild from inside a window on a cold night. At the beginning the speaker is wandering... or in the mind they are. I will have to dwell more on the dream like vision. and not take it so literally. I liked reading it aloud and in a muse fashion without thought. It feels like a metaphor for fear of going beyond the comfort zone. I know that one.

*Starstruck* Wonderful weaving and evokes inspiration and the dream. *Star*
Thanks for sharing your gift.

*Balloonp* HI redtowrite! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you as a WDC *Angel*! *Delight*


*Angelic* I was drawn to the old fashion French word title as it seems romantic. Your tag line caught my eye as well as I enjoy metaphors! *Wink*

I enjoyed reading this soft dreamy poem with its romantic aura. The images are magical and the use of nature theme is effective and suits the theme as it builds a background and atmosphere in which to place the query of "safe harbour". It speaks to me of how the two come together as one. *Heart*

The poem seems to be a free verse as I didn't feel a definitive structure of syllables of line lengths. It did not mar the read for me as it added variety to the read. Your rhyme scheme added to the flow and coherence. You used some true rhyme but then two almost rhymes in "end"/"again" and "free"/"seas". I liked the soundscape to read aloud as in "breathes easy and free", "satin skies" and "seagull skies" are also evocative. The consonance of "s" is really a connective one and keeps the tone soft and smooth.

It seems the voice is speaking to the beloved and I assume in the last verse when you say "Imagine" that that same voice is speaking.
It is a fascinating concept "whimsical pillows". *Thumbsup*

Such a wonderful vision to ponder as I can enter into the moment and the changing colours of sky and water. It is an awesome comparison to eternal time. Thanks for the dream. *Starstruck*

*Balloonp* Hiya, Old Warrior! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you as a WDC *Angel*! *Delight*


*Shamrock*I so enjoy Irish themes and songs so I had fun reading your lyrical lines. It is wonderful and fanciful dedication rich in the imagery and lore of the Irish. *Smile*

The rhyming couplets run smoothly with true rhymes and flowing words. Lovely soundscape. The bit of accent in words like "me Lasse" suggests the Irish tone. *Thumbsup* I can here the brogue in my head. The syllable count is not even everywhere, but it did not detract from the read and it added variety to the drama.

I notice you use a lot of commas in the middle of lines--- I wonder if this is on purpose to slow down the pace as some lines seem like they would naturally continue. eg> "show me, their secret..."

I appreciate the romance and magic and the effort it took to weave this web. I'd like to dance with the fairies! *Starstruck* Thanks for sharing this lilting vision.

*Balloonp* Hiya mARi☠StressedAtWork ! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you as a WDC *Angel*! *Delight*


*Angelic*I was drawn to the Blue as it is my favourite colour and it was an intriguing name for a folder. I like the creative titles like the contrast of Blue Ribbons to Invisible Blue. It made me smile. The reorganization of the works in appropriate folders is logical.

I learned a lot reading your Class material and you have a wonderful selection of awarded pieces. *Star*

The poem on your folder is a lovely introduction and is aesthetically appealing. The reflections on the various auras of blue are vivid. It is pleasant to read aloud and dream on. I liked Blue is "buzzing" and "bitter tears" and "freedom of a painful memory". Very thoughtful pondering.

I enjoyed visiting your port! *Angel*

*Balloony*Hiya fyn! *Delight* I am happy to review to celebrate you as a WDC *Angel* Thanks for all you do to make WDC shine!*Star*

*Fairy*This poetic tribute to one of our lost members is a wonderful heart felt expression that contributes to all of WDC who knew Jen. Thank you for sharing your inspirational and personal poem. *Heart*

You have captured Jen's essence in a detailed manner and the repeating of the last line is so effective a refrain. I liked how you express how you see her from a metaphoric image in verse one (bud, then the "fledgeling" and continued to more personal qualities as in the verse about her Mother role. *Thumbsup*

*Smile*So many lovely images bring up feelings of joy and admiration for this woman. The last verse sums up her next step with hope and certainty.

*Fairy*The free style suits the emotional content and even the character of the woman in question. It was pleasant to read aloud and the flow with its variety of line lengths and breaks added to the drama and gave time to ponder the message.

*Star*I so enjoyed reading this poem as I reflected on what I knew of Jen and you really have her essence. *Starstruck* Thanks for sharing this with the community in its time of grief, to lighten our spirits. *Heart*

Keep the ink flowing as you follow your muse and write on!*Star*

*Dog1**Delight* Absolutely lovely Maryann! Your dogs are priceless and you really described each one vividly in the diamante form. The theme of comparing two do personalities is so unique and a tribute to your pups! *Thumbsup*

*Dog2*The construction of the form is solid with its opposing comparisons and I so got a feel for each of these critters from the words you chose. The pictures add an appealing element too. *Wink* Sweet!

*Heart*The tone is loving and I think it may have been fun to do. The appreciation of your animals comes through the way you know them.I liked the idea of "understanding" as some animals really do seem to have a strength in that supportive role. "scampering" really adds to the quality of "carefree and silly". Their names are unique too. *Star*

I like the addition of the author's note in case folks need to know how it works. *Smile*

*Delight*Thanks for adding another happy poem into your book and its vibe into the universe. My friend had to put down her 8 year old boxer today in a ceremony at home--they didn't know what was wrong after many tests etc. and the poor thing stopped eating and seemed to be in pain. So it was good to see this cheerful tribute to beloved family pets. *Heart*

Keep on scampering with the muse!*Wand*

Review of Little Writings  
for entry "Cinquain poem: Music
Review by eyestar~*
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
*Star* HI Maryann. I am so happy to see your cinquain about music. It is delightfully set on the page and I like your shiny sig too. It bring joy to the page.

*Fairy*The cinquain is well constructed with its lines and the connection between the noun and the synonym is perfect. The description of the music is vivid and I do like the image of line 4 as the effect of the music playing. Swaying to soft music is cool. I did wonder if there was clapping if the music would have to be louder with more of a strong beat though: maybe the descriptors in the second line could be something like "funky and loud", or "jazzy" or "easy and slow" depending on what the reaction of the 4th line is. It just occurred to me to match line 4 with the beat of the music.

I was wondering as you are making a book with entries, it might be nice to have a key title for each in front of the form name. It will be easier to find by topic. I learned this in my haiku book as haiku generally do not have titles but numbers..who would remember what number was what haiku image? LOL Just an idea. *Wink*

This is a great idea to collect the muse's offerings of the moment. *Starstruck*
This is fun! *Wink*

Keep on tweeting! *Laugh*

*BalloonR**ConfettiP*HI afaith! I am here with a review to celebrate you on your 4th WDC anniversary! *Star* You are rocking!

What's this? I haven't reviewed this amazing contribution yet? *Sad* *Smile* What a fabulous and generous activity to highlight interactive and inspire more participation in them. It is interesting how folks either love them or run for the hills! I am not sure why they are so intimidating. *Laugh*

The page is bright, simple and appealing. I like your introduction adding WDC Staff appeal and your plea that it is not fun by yourself. For sure that! *Thumbsup* The rules are clear and easy to do!

I thought the incentive prize was genius--- unique way to use the freebie! So Community minded and practical too as we know how easy the gp pool can dry up.

I like the idea of a monthly rule too. It leads to perhaps getting folks to seek out other of your fellow interactive hosts. I see this was for April!*Sad* Is this an ongoing activity?

Adding the link to the newsletter is a wonderful way to highlight them and this issue is topical as it is on interactives! Quite the Adventure!

The enthusiastic and inviting tone is vibrant and evokes me to want to play.*Snowboarder*
I hope this review will give this a little plug--so get it updated soon. It will be cool to see a list of winners as you go along.*Wink*

Thanks for adding fun to WDC! *Starstruck*

*Fairy* HI Maryann! Here I am with a review to celebrate you. *Delight*


This is a wonderful little tribute to mama birds and could be related to all moms in general too. Even the word "doves" signify love and peace. *Thumbsup*

Your cinquain is delightful in tone and follows the format brilliantly. It also has the noun/synonym in first and last line and the descriptives are vivid and right on target.

I liked the forth line which tells the effect of the action of the bird in the third line. It has a comforting vision and I see them all nestled and happy! *Thumbsup*

The ideas of "proud" and "adoring" really help personify the birds as well. It is an appealing element of the vision.

The page is attractive and focus is on the poem. The picture is cute and adds appeal and interest. The coloured font is well chosen and helps show off the cinquain, apart from the author's note!

Thanks for sharing your vision with its appreciative tone and tribute to these feathered moms. *Starstruck*

Great idea to keep a book for your magics! *Wink* Keep the *Quill* rolling. Maybe a little bird will grant you one.

*Flowerv**Fairy* Hiya I am raiding for Spring with "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group! Thanks for being an *Angel* around WDC! *Balloony*

I love reading and creating acrostics, so I am glad to find this one! The title appealed to me too. It evokes a sweet charm affection, not to mention new life. *Flowerr*

The work is arranged well on the page with clear key letters and I enjoyed the flow that had a coherent manner. The images are vivid and appeal to the senses and the sound elements added to the flow.*Star*

The repetition of Together for the "T"s is perfect and seems to emphasize the idea of connection as in love, relationship or friendship. Wonderful. *Thumbsup*

I only noticed one little glitch and that was "Enviting". I couldn't find the word and think you mean "Inviting". and "untill" has only one "l" I think. *Wink* Maybe "enchanting" would be a possible alternative.

The tone and theme are clear and heartfelt, very sentimental and inspiring. It reminds me of the idea of a rose with thorns. The harmony with its protection. *Smile*

Thanks for sharing this pleasing to read and lovely vision. *Heart**Starstruck*

*Flowerv**Fairy* Hiya Harry! I am raiding for Spring with "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group!Happy WDC Anniversary!*Balloony*

LOL! *Laugh* Oh, this is so delightful and I had to laugh at the last incident! It seems typical of hungry birds who don't get what they want.

*Bird*The quatrains are well written and flow smoothly with a consistent and true rhyme scheme. It has effective consonance especially with the "w" in verse 2 and the repetitive "s". It adds to the flow and pace. The "b" sounds in the last verse added an alliterative quality as well. *Smile*

*Bird* The imagery is vivid as you tell the story of your travelling. I can picture the variety of birds common to your setting. I enjoyed descriptions like "aerial speeders" I held a humming bird once--amazing how it quivered and the minute I got it free it zoomed up so high in a flash I couldn't see it!

*Delight*I liked the enjambment in verse 4-a nice pause before we discover what lunch is. *Smile* And the ending was hilarious adding a fine twist to the adventure in admiration! *Thumbsup*

Thanks for sharing your memories and vision. What a great way to memorialize your trip! *Starstruck*

*Flowerv**Fairy* Hiya Afaith! I am raiding for Spring with "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group! Happy WDC Anniversary!*Balloony*

I was intrigued by the title and it is so cool how the lighthouse speaks in this poem. I am not sure it fits the true haiku except in that it does have the 5-7-5 count and 3 lines. I just took a class and learned a lot I had no idea about. *Facepalm*

Haiku does not have much punctuation, capital letters and shows the juxtaposition of two contrasting images. *Wink* Haiku also does not interpret what is seen, but leaves it to the reader. It could be the Lighthouse's interpretation of haiku. *Smile*

That said, the expression is truly evocative as a poem. I liked the play on the word "sea". Cool! I could enter into the moment with ease from the invitation to experience the breeze and pelican--the sight, feeling and sound. Then the lighthouse's perspective that it is bliss sums it up well.
Your use of punctuation is effective for the read and dramatic pause.

A wonderful dream to envision and you captured it in a few brief lines!*Starstruck* Thanks for sharing! *Smile*
Maybe take Haiku out of the title as it is an awesome brief poem. *Wink* eg "view".

Review of God's Tree

Rated: E | (4.5)
*Flowerv**Fairy* Hiya Jace!I am raiding for Spring with "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group! Happy 8th WDC Anniversary!*Balloony*

*Tree* I love trees and their contribution to us and our earth is phenomenal in all ways. Your poem illustrates the essence of the tree and one of its gifts to us. The concept is well thought out as you ponder on the "protective" nature of trees. I really enjoyed the second verse imagery and your unique vision. *Thumbsup*

The format is well constructed according to your author's note. Indeed the picture is clear especially in the second verse.

I marvelled at the contrasting of the "crafting" as God and man both created with that loving hand. The comparing of the tree and the product of the wood is well done and we see that while he form is different the intent is the same.

In the first verse I wondered about the punctuation as the last line hangs by itself. Would not a comma serve to unify more than the period after strong? I felt a comma after "tree" and did not see the need for one after "graceful" (though not sure of rules for that one.) "Graceful yet strong seems like a complete phrase as is." *Wink* Just my feeling.
Of course you may have wanted to emphasize the last line idea the way you have it. *Wink*

I appreciated the idea of "graceful yet strong" as it ties in with your picture of the lovely "hutch" I envisioned in verse 2. Brilliant connection.{e"smile}

I really enjoyed this tribute to trees and the fine example of Septolet. Thanks for sharing your vision and craft. *Starstruck*

*Balloonp* Hiya Connieann! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! *Delight*


*Flowery* I was drawn to the theme of the tale about meeting up with old friends! Your description of the main character and the gals were vivid and the tone was affectionate in the reminiscing. I really liked the poetic comparisons in the first paragraph like "leaves" and "snagged"! *Smile*


You drew me into the dream and then up popped the unexpected problem. Good job! In part two you showed Darlene's experience in a realistic way and kept the tension 'til the end. I was hoping along with her.

The idyllic picture that the letter sparked in the middle of Darlene's waiting was a great relief and contrast in emotion! A good effect! Life can be fun is a good reminder to focus on.

The issue is such a relevant one nowadays. I like how the story had my mind thinking so many possibilities--would she go, would they come see her, the idea of lost time and what is important, etc.

This was a wonderful read and reminded me of those movies where old friends get together--- wives, and the one with Bette Midler. The names escape me but came to my mind as I read your opening. I love those experience pieces. Good job!

*Balloonp* Hiya Keaton Foster! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! *Delight*
This cool item popped up on random reads!

*Spider* The title is evocative and made me curious as to the ways faces could melt, of be seen to melt. Cool!

You have a skill for writing in this free style way, which is pleasant to read in a coherent manner.
I enjoyed the progression of the poets revealing his vision as he walks along, starting quite mundane and then showing how bizzare his observations can be. Detailed descriptions in a matter of fact tone with bits of wonderment as he wonders at the madness. The query at the end keeps the whole thing a mystery to be solved.
It reminds me of seeing the dead, or souls doomed to walk the earth. Some seers see such echos. These seem creepy though, like zombies? *Wink*

Many of the lines roll with easy off the tongue as word choices flow well together in interesting sound scapes. No specific rhyme but sounds recur and echo each other as I move through the piece.

Very creative and imaginative piece of writing! I had fun pondering your vision!*Starstruck*

*Balloonp* Hiya WD Wilcox! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! *Delight*


This creepy peice popped up on the random read! Wow! You created a very dastardly creepy character and your descriptions are vivid and realistic. *Thumbsup* I like you unfold the wicked surprises he brings for the party and the interplay with the people is excellent. I could totally imagine the tone and look and would not want to be around. I am not fond of clowns and costumes anyway as they hide things! LOL

Your set up for the character was interesting too--from the Mental home and the voice that seems to lead! I like how you gave him a bit of care for the unloved girl though it never really seems kind.

The plot and details are coherent and the dialogue was natural and added to the drama.

The magic coat to escape was a surprise and one wonders if the whole thing happens inside his head. The last paragraph adds to the mystery and one can see the cycle begins again.

This story is well written and easy to follow. It really kept my attention even while it has a creepy and horrible them and ending. *Sad* Well done!

*Balloonp* Hiya Lou! I am happy to do a review to celebrate you! *Delight*


I like the way you pose the question which becomes the theme for your poem. I think You need a question mark in the second line. *Smile* I am not keen on repeated tasks either and yet the case for spring coming back makes this cycle cheerful.

I enjoyed reading the poem out loud for its fun soundscape and rhyme. The images are vibrant and I could imagine the "hungry critters". The idea of "snack" is cool. The enjambment "bunch" is well done for drama. I could imagine a lot of rain, snow and then the seasons too. It goes with both lines well.

*Delight*I loved the warmth of the image of "mother's first touch"! Interesting contrast with the word "vicious" to describe the cycles. Wow!

Thanks for sharing your vision of spring. I enjoy spring aspects though spring cleaning is not so fun. *Laugh*

*Fairy* Hiya Whome! *Flowerv* I know you are also an *Angel* here At WDC!*Wink* In appreciation of you, here I be! *Smile*

I can't believe I haven't got this on my favs! This cnote shop has a celebratory vibe with heart symbols for heart felt sentiments. *Heart* And It is not just for valentine's but for a number of occasions. *Thumbsup*

I really like the blue heart card for Moderators and the turquoise birthday one. That is a neat and different colour tone. The hand with the spirally heart is magical and the message with "write" in it made me smile!! One could send that to anyone at anytime to encourage writing. The purple one is so vibrant and the sympathy card is evocative with the water and heart symbol. Wow! *Thumbsup*

The cost of each is very reasonable too!

The title says it all and I like the notion of hearts meeting for in truth we are all connected in some way. This gives a focus of appreciation and kindness to the gifting. *Smile*

Thanks for hosting these treasures and providing a loving service to WDC! *Starstruck*

Hiya Megan Purple Rose! *Flowerv* I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day too! I am back with another review for your 14th year here. What a great undertaking for 100 days!

I enjoyed reading this tribute to mothers and your appreciation of yours. Your message is clear as you make valid points about why Moms deserve special treatment.
It is charming how you give your mom a corsage each year. *Heart*

I could feel a bit of loneliness when you speak about your son being so far away that you have to text. It sounds like you had so cool times with him! *Laugh*

I agree that Moms are a special breed and I do appreciate mine. Thanks for sharing in such a vulnerable way! *Starstruck*

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


Hiya Megan Purple Rose! *Flowerv* I am back to comment on your newest fanfic group item! Darcy and Jane would love that he has his own fan club! Well, he might be a bit shy about it--or....annoyed IF the ladies were like Bingly's sister etc! *Laugh*

The intro is simple and to the point with your intention and rationale for the group. I like the entry fee of telling what we like about Darcy and Pride and Prejudice! Perfect and original! *Thumbsup*

It is so perfect that the group has its own challenge and special Darcy MB to boot.
I like that you make it available for a cost for others as well. It can help support group contest.*Star*

The pictures are appealing and emphasize the theme. I like that you chose Colin's photo as Darcy! He is my favourite portrayal. *Smile*

Thanks for continuing to shine Jane's light! *Fire**Quill*
Yippee! 14 years!! Deserves a Port Raid at least! *Wink*

Light on the path as you write on!!*Star*

Hiya Megan Purple Rose! *Flowerv* You deserve another review! 14 years is a long graceful time! *Laugh* I see I haven't commented on this one yet.

I remember I read this when it came out and was excited about your new Darcy endeavours. *Cool*

I so enjoy you news section and wow, I had no idea about Heston and Scott. How fascinating they liked Austen too. She does appeal to both men and women. I knew one of her brothers grew up elsewhere but not the details. Interesting. You really have a knack for finding these gems. *Thumbsup*

I noticed a double take: "Henry's doctor was Henry's doctor'? *Confused* Was the Prince's named Henry too?

This Easter edition is filled with lots of details and your enthusiasm in sharing what you know shines through the work. Even the picture of Jane where the bunny is added is on the theme. *Smile*

Thanks for sharing your vision! Keep on shining as the *Star* you are for many more years of fun on WDC!

Hiya Megan Purple Rose! *Flowerv* Happy Happy 14th anniversary! What a milestone. *Starstruck* I am here to celebrate you with a review!

I was happy to see the next edition of your newsletter as I was sure you would showing the handsome new Darcy MB! I was not disappointed. It is wonderful and it is so thrilling to have earned the first ones off the press! *Wink*

The evocative picture begins the letter in style and gets us thinking. Using the greeting Janeites is so cool too. *Smile* I also like you show casing your Austen Events up front as it follows well from your query about how to earn the Darcy Badge. Folks can check these items out to see how to win the other Austen Badges as well.

I always appreciate your new snippets about Jane's life. It is amazing how you find these. I can't say I have heard of the new book you mention. Sounds more like a steamy soap opera and not perhaps what Jane would like to see---she may have appreciated modern renditions but.... mm. The ethics might be an issue. Good for you for sticking with it. (esp on our behalf.) LOL

OH, thank you so much for highlighting my writing attempts for the Once Upon a Jane Austen as well as those of other participants. *Delight* I am so touched!

Thanks for sharing your findings in a fun way. The pictures are lovely too. Luv Colin as Darcy! *Heart*
