Review Style

In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.

I'm good at...

encouraging others to write because I love to read.

I will not review...

something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

Review of The Mansion on Moonlight Crescent

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

You had posted before me in I Write in 2025. It is my pleasure to read your short story and send my review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I like the sense of anticipation and the way you set the scene. It is mysterious and one can see why Darren is motivated to do as he he is told by his friend. The disembodied voice would give anyone chills I think.

It doesn't seems as if he is being steered wrong, but still throughout there is the feeling that things could change suddenly. I felt the suspense and the anticipation were well captured in your description as the invitation is accepted.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I particularly like the title and how the story unfolded, setting the scene what is to follow for Darren. It is inviting and foreboding at the same time. That takes a lot of descriptive skill and I enjoyed reading and following along.

The house seems haunted, but not in a bad way, in an inviting way like one might picture heaven to be.

Well done!

Review of Worship

Rated: E

| (5.0)

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I posted after you in the I Write in 2025 activity. It is my honor to read and review your poem.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I found your poem of faith to be very moving and eloquent. Life sends us challenges, but with faith we can face them and move forward. Part of worship is counting our blessings and remembering to thank God for the good that comes our way. That is something that really resonates with daily life, especially after a loss.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like the message that God gives us the hand to hold. God is there when we are alone in our darkest times. But it is important to remember God in our life in good times as well as bad. This is a good reminder.

I appreciate you poetic message of faith very much. Well done!

Review of Shadows

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

It is your 19th Account Anniversary so I wanted to visit and send a review your way. The title of this poem caught my attention. Sometimes, after a loss, there are shadows that capture one's imagination. Are they shadows of the past? Maybe. It is interesting to read how different writers interpret the things that linger in our minds after time has passed.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I like how you start out with the word, "Echoes" because to me, it goes well with shadows. It is all something that one can't quite get their mind around. But there are glimpses here and there that we focus on. Always moving, always changing is how I read it and how I experience things related to life's losses and grieving.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

In that middle stanza is this part that is memorable to me:

"hidden behind
the mirror of my memory,"

I think you create a consistent atmosphere that suggests how things have a tendency to live on in the backs of our minds.

I found your poem resonates with my experience of the recent past. I guess different readers bring different experiences to the reading, but that is mine.

I don't typically suggest changes because I don't see how I could do better with this. I think you have written a fine poem that people will identify with, bringing different experiences to bear.

Nicely done!

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw that your Blog was updated so I came to read and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

Christmas is different things in different years. It is hard to put the puzzle pieces together and to create a memory that fits it all.

It can be difficult because of reminders of the past and what is lost, but one can keep an open mind about what is to come. Sometimes, I think the expectations are what bring us down.

Those start when we are in our childhoods. But then the reality of life intervenes.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I remembered that one of my best Christmases came at one of the most difficult times of loss. We traveled to Ireland that year. It is a memory that I hold on to that gets me through the tough times. It's full of music and I even walked in a town and found a herd of cows to talk to and take pictures of. I will never forget them or their kind reaction to me.

We find our blessings in different ways over the years. This is a nice reminder of that and to be open to the good that comes our way and the reason for the season.

Lovely entry!

This is an excellent list of things to watch. I have not started to do that yet, but I will.

"While You Were Sleeping" is a favorite movie of mine that is Christmassy. It is good to watch Christmas movies and remember good times with family and friends.

It can be a sad time, too, but uplifting movies and shows can raise our spirits.

This a fine entry with great suggestions to brighten what can be a hard time of year.

Review of Angelic Voices

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I clicked on Read and Review on the left side of the screen and it brought me to your story. I like how the title ties into the voices when they are one way in warning and then another way. It is clear there is more than one way to be angelic.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how much the sisters cared and how they tried and tried to help. That broke through only when there was a near tragedy.

It is still a scary situation and one that could still lead to violence, but sometimes it takes something extreme in one direction to enable people to see that truth about what needs to happen.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I could picture it all unfolding and I had an ominous feeling of foreboding, foreshadowing I guess you would sa.

I think your story is very powerful and accurately portrays the limited choices and seeming helplessness of such a situation.

Forgiveness is such a powerful and all encompassing force. I thought your story was very powerful and well told.

Fine work, Tracey!

Review of Kids on the Corner

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw that your 16th Account Anniversary is coming up so I wanted to wish you a Happy one and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

The title reminded me of the Creedance Clearwater Revival song from my childhood, that was "Down on the Corner". This engaging poem brought back a lot of memories of hanging around the mall and complaining we were "bored."

I guess you wrote this before the I-phone craze, but after cell phones. Now kids walk around and drive around with their noses in their phones, not paying any attention to the world around them.

And they still complain about being bored even though they have the world at their fingertips. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like your consistency with you syllable count of ten syllables per line. It really flows well and moves along nicely. I found your poem resonated with y growing up experience and the ones I witness all around me, even today.

In that sense, this is timeless. I enjoyed reading your poem very much and I think your title drew me in and it fits perfectly.

The description of "boring spring break" gave me a chuckle. Everything is boring at that age.

Well done!

I saw that you had added to your Game of Thrones Chronicles so I came to read and send a review your way.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I love how the mother Dragon trusted Santa and that Santa wasn't afraid to take a chance and he knew what the right thing to do was. In the end, it brought him many happy encounters and times in years to come.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I love the trust that the mother Dragon placed in Santa and that he didn't let her down.

So, every year he was shown the positive from his good deed in reaching out and helping others.

Lovely story for any time of year, especially now as we start the holiday season!

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I am visiting again in celebration of your 23 years here this month. I found another gem to read and send my thoughts as I wish you a lovely month of cherishing your time here.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the personification of the rain and how it has its own moods and characteristics. I view rain different now as I age. It is an impediment, but some days it just seems to fit the mood. Some times, it pours on my head, too, or at least it seems like it's a deliberate, targeted thing.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think you have created a mood that resonates with readers of all ages. Sooner or later, we all interact with rain, it's beyond our control as we try to get to where we want to go.

The struggle to get along and cope and also find a way to rise above the gloomy day, that is a challenge worthy of a sonnet.

Well done!

I think that the Hallmark movies are good and that they lift spirits at what can be challenging times of year. I do LOVE that one with the guy from Downton Abbey that is set in Ireland.

Sometimes I watch regular movies that have Christmas themes or Christmas settings in the movie.

Those Jane Austen movies sound intriguing. Is the acting good in them?

I will definitely be looking for movies to watch this holiday season as I pry myself away from Youtube.

Review of When My Angel Flies Away

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

You are celebrating your 23rd anniversary here this month so here I am perusing and reading. I reread some, but I had not read this poem before. The title caught my attention.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the loss I have suffered and all the range of emotions I have gone through in grief. Your description particularly rings true. He is not always by my side, is my own angel, as he was for so many years.

My bad day was a Tuesday instead of a Monday, but otherwise this definitely moves me through a typical wave of grief as it descends. It is good to see I am not alone - at least this made me feel like I'm not the only one who feels this range of emotional upset as the days unfold.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This is my favorite part:

"Every day
is Black Monday,
my heart a reflection of the sky;
my blue melancholy
frames the clouds
as the sky mocks me
with the kiss of a clear, sunny day."

I was never a particularly religious person before I suffered the loss that I did. But now, I turn to prayer and it does help sometimes, but some times those sunny days can really torment me. Nature has been a great distraction, too, but I cannot really write much yet. For a while I couldn't turn off the writing, but loss changed all that.

As a reader, I found this to be very eloquent and it engaged my attention as someone who has struggled with grief and grief counseling for the past year and a half.

I liked this because it helped me to feel that maybe one of these Tuesdays, it will start to get better, if only just a little. It also makes me see that the more I read here and elsewhere, the more I find things to connect with.

So, thank you very much for that and for the lovely reading experience.

I saw that this was updated so I came to read and send a review.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I like the topic of "November Foods." I think that food brings us together when other stuff divides us. Food can give comfort in hard times. There are foods that are associated with this time of year that definitely create a mood.

My brother tells me in detail every meal he eats while on the road. It is strangely comforting, especially this time of year.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

It made me think of when I would make big dinners so that Tom would have his turkey sandwich and turkey soup leftovers. The plan this year is to go out to eat at a local restaurant. We will see how that goes if we do it. I'm not cooking except maybe a pie.

This brought back memories of comforting and delicious Thanksgivings past. Lovely!

I saw that you had updated your journal of faith so I am here to read and send my thoughts in a review.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

Since Tom died, I have tried to read a psalm a day. I am on my third reading of the psalms. Someone had told me to do it and it does seem to help and calm me sometimes. Sometimes, I am not sure what the message is, but gradually I seem to be getting it. Some times I read it aloud.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think that faith is definitely a journey for a lot of us. We might find our ways at different points where we need comfort. I think anything that helps to comfort us and that also helps us to carry on is worthwhile and positive.

Another fine entry!

I liked what you said about Christmas Communion. Sometimes, I go to Church early at 8 and come home and watch the 10 AM service on live stream. The 10 AM one has music and the early one doesn't.

Sometimes I drift away during the sermon, so this way I can give it two tries to really hear and understand it.

Very inspiring journal, as always!

Review of Take Up My Cross Journal

for entry "Managing Time "

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I saw you had updated in your Faith Journal so I came to read and send a review.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

This was highly relevant to me because I have to re-imagine how I spend my time to adjust to the new reality here. Patience is a virtue.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

It helps me to look at the big picture sometimes and you have helped me to do that. The big picture in light of what I have learned from good and bad things that have happened lately.

I hope and pray for more useful ways to spend time in my dinosaur cave.

Very inspiring and thought provoking as always - well done!

Review of A Journal With Everything

for entry "Halloween "

Review by ♥HOOves♥

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I saw you had updated your journal so here I am to read and review.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

Sounds like you got in the mood quite splendidly for the big treat giving day. I always loved Halloween, but I do not do things for it any more, aside from making treat bags for the lovely kids across the street from me.

I hole up in my Dinosaur

cave.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I think setting the spOOky atmosphere sounds very festive. I am already too much of a fraidy cat to scare myself anymore. Maybe I will look at footage of Biden biting babies if I want to get really frightened.

Lovely entry that you have shared! Well done!

Review of The Enchanting Lights

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I saw you had updated this story from a while back. Somehow, I missed it in my reading adventures.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

This is an enchanting tale of devotion that lasts beyond life.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

Anyone would be fortunate to be loved and cared for by such devoted spirits. It is lovely to imagine such a thing, but sometimes love can be more on one side than another and that's where the bears came in. But love prevailed and that's always a good thing.

I enjoyed reading your story very much. Sometimes, I think there is something beyond. Other times, I'm not so sure or I think the spirits are asleep on the job.

Very engaging story with admirable characters. Well done!

Review of Young Inventor

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with The Writer's Cramp Judges ...

Rated: E

| (5.0)

What brought the Hand of THiNG to your port?

I was the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp"

. Congratulations on your win!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the horses having a meeting. I think all animals should meet regularly. It would lead to a lot better outcomes, rather than letting grown-up human types make decisions.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

This is my favorite part:

"The children of the town were the cleverest people there. Children are usually the cleverest because they haven't yet had their brains fogged by college or office."

Truer words were never spoken. And the horses knew more than the adult humans, also.

If only there was common sense in the human world, but alas, it ran off to the pasture.

Well done and Congrats again on the win!!!

Very entertaining and enjoyable story!
