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.

*Cool**Idea* I think that you have captured all the things that moms do very well in your short poem. You did a good job of rhyming and of using all the prompt phrases that Sophy required!

What does HOOves applaud and moo about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Perfect life is the cat's meow if only in my dreams.
The kids, dogs howl; rush hour in my three-ringed tent supreme."

Very clever and original! Well done!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your chilling tale.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* I thought about how Kate is unsure of herself and Alex has no confidence in her. The medication is causing hallucinations so maybe she needs a new doctor who will prescribe different medication. To imagine this devouring is horrible and frightening. The telling of the story from Kate's first person point of view is chilling and definitely gives it a slant that is frightening and believable.

Technically, I saw one small typo - the third word of the second sentence should be "says" instead of "say."

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* I liked Alex's measured concern for her. There is an element of self-preservation in Alex's demeanor and words, so much so that he will never allow himself to be devoured in such a way - emotionally, mentally and in the fantasy, physically.

So, there is strength there and also in her insistence that she be allowed to check out what is wrong. If the bolded words were the prompt, you did an admirable job with crafting the story around it.

Fine work!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* I saw that you had added so I came to read and send a review with my thoughts.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* I agree with what you say. Women know how to lead and are good at it.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* I totally agree that Hillary is not right for the job there. I think she thinks she is entitled to it or something. She never stood up for anything important in all of her life as a politician and First Lady. It is all about the power with her.

I thought she was better than Obama, but I just cannot see her as President. It's like the whole vision of that seems very wrong somehow.

Good thoughts! It will have to be a younger woman from the up and coming generation, not someone born in the 1940s again. I think those days are gone.

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

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your fine poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that animals are all about determination and sticking to whatever needs to be accomplished. As you indicate, humans could really learn a lot from observing and emulating the behavior or animals.

But, most humans are not quick to realize this important lesson in life and behavior.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"In the sunny, tranquil, yet deadly world of day,
And the dark, sleepy, and godless night,"

Maybe it is because humans are much more sheltered than animals and therefore do not need to learn the same things to survive. Maybe that is the reason that humans fail to stick to it and keep going with things.

Well, it's a great lesson to learn.

Fine poem!

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and this came up.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I was wondering about your part and the details surrounding the performance, after the fact. This is written before it happened, so I was curious to see how everything turned out with it. Sounds like a wonderful event for the holidays and I am sure the ballet was memorable.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I like the idea of dancing to that story. The ghosts of Christmas past, present and future dancing is something to see, I reckon.

I'll bet everyone involved had a great time with it all! Maybe you could update this sometime with a postscript.

Nice work, getting the word out!

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

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review and it took me to your fine poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* We all have our faith that we hold on to. Some base it on what their parents believed and some follow their own path. The story that culminates in Easter is a sad and moving one, to be sure. The suffering that he took on freely. Well, there is very little love or even devotion that approaches that for ordinary folk.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This part sticks with me:

"And of the THREE,
This task must fall to ME.
For, this ONE must give all
That all may receive forgiveness,
If they are willing to accept it."

Very inspirational, humbling and appropriate poem to read as we come up to the holiday time for us Christians who do believe.

I find your poem to be moving, profound and well written.

Well done!

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

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review and it took me to your poem!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I love the title as it expresses the sadness and loss.

Personifying one's pen as the ultimate muse is brilliant. I have so many pens all over the place, and confess I have never had a special one that I could go to for inspiration.

This is a loving relationship and it is sad when it is seemingly over. I felt sad and sorry for the loss.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part, but I thought the whole poem was written from the heart and with a sense of profound regret:

"farewell, my lucky pen, my cylindrical muse. You have ceased to be."

Condolences on the loss of such a wonderful writing companion! I don't think I will ever look at my pens the same way and will be in search of a special one to hold on to.

Lovely and very creative poem!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* You had added a couple of entries so here I am.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* Travel always helped me to find ideas to write, too. But we aren't doing much of it now. We went on a little trip in December, but not even out of the State, so not far.

But stayed overnight. I enjoyed the cable TV in the hotel.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

Nice work, as always! *Heartg*

*Right**Idea* I saw you had added and came to read and review.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* Baby animals are all so sweet. Lambs go in the road in Ireland. You have to wait for them to move and cows, too. Sometimes, they take their time. They mark them with a color sometimes. But it is beautiful and green where they roam.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

I used to love to go to the National Zoo and watch the baby panda interact with its parents. They were all so cute. When it was born the baby panda was no larger than a stick of butter. Well, they grow to be very big, but they are adorable to watch.

The National Zoo takes good care of them so I loved to go there. The giraffes were across from the Pandas, who got most of the attention. Giraffes are sweet, too.

Fine entry, Megan! *Heartg*

*Right**Idea* You sent me a nice review, so here I am to read and review your flash fiction story.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool*At first read, I was thinking what a pushy neighbor. I have one like this now. So, the word "no" is something I like to introduce this sort to. But Grace went beyond pushy to another level.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* The ending was a surprise, but I was thinking she was just a demanding nut at first. Who does that to their neighbor - demands anything. Not to say that I don't have a couple of neighbors who are on the edge, but I guess that is life in the 21st Century. All the medications floating around and who knows what the behavior will be.

I think you did a fine job with your Flash Fiction Story, of building the reader's suspense, leading to a surprise ending.

Nice work!

A YaHOO Review from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



What brought HOOves to meander and glide in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Balloonr*I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" . Thanks for entering! *Delight*

I am reading and reviewing your item at 10:10 AM, WDC time, and storing it in my review tool for later delivery, after the contest winners are announced. As per the contest rules, no subsequent revisions or edits were considered in writing this review.

What does HOOves think about and contemplate while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about Andy and how he is a superman character both inside and out. He helps someone in need, though the only benefit he earns is one of thanks from an elderly, disheveled man. He not only gives him his new shoelaces, he puts a great deal of effort into helping to retrieve the ring.

I like the title because it emphasizes that the most noble of deeds are often unheralded. There are plenty of those who will blow their own horns incessantly when they make any sort of effort for their fellow man or woman.

What does HOOves applaud and moo about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I loved this part:

"but he preferred the solitude of his own company as opposed to the obligations of another's. "

So, this superman is careful in his choices, but generous in his deeds.

Lovely story!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* I am reading this for the I Write in 2018 activity. You posted before I did. So, I am delighted to read your story.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool*Just as a suggestion, you might want to include the relevant prompt. I didn't have time to go and hunt for it, but I was interested to know what it was. Some people like to do that and some don't - totally up to you. I just thought I would mention it.

This is the story of two superheroes who are all too human in their flaws. Apparently, they are both still emotionally attached to the same woman.

One is trying to get his lawn watered, whilst sticking to a budget. The other is determined to win the lady back.

Clever thinking wins the day!

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* I liked the discussion of why the lawn should not be mechanically watered. We go through that every year. I would much sooner let it go to desert cactus than waste the water. I don't care if the grass is green or brown as long as it is mowed.

The ending was very clever and the immediate future of the lawn was resolved. No changes to the status quo in the relationship department.

Good story - I enjoyed reading it!

*Right**Idea* I saw you had added. This is an interesting topic.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* I think Bob Dylan is a poet who brought about social change. I am not sure that was what he intended when he wrote stuff, but turning it into music got him there I think.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* I would never have the courage to go to one of those readings and actually read. It would be fun to just go and watch though. I think of poetry as learning as we go. Who knows what is going to be thought good in 100 years.

The popular thought about Poe was that he was a popular hack at the time. Well, you never know but it is a way of expressing so that is good I guess.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* I am not familiar with the characters, but you wrote your story in such an engaging way that I was immediately drawn into this western adventure and wanted to see what became of Colleen after her ordeal and kidnapping at the hands of her own father and that awful Joel.

Your dialogue is very good and it really advances the story along.

My first writing on this site was romance fan fiction and I have always enjoyed reading it very much.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock*

*Thumbsup* I liked the ending and how Andrew stuck with it throughout in order to find her, save her and bring her back. Where would she have been without her Andrew?

I don't know how closely this follows the story told on television, but I certainly enjoyed your take on it and seeing how the characters got on throughout the plot and the resolution in court at the end.

I enjoyed reading your work very much! Well done!

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review on the left side of the screen and it took me to your fine poem about outrageous driving habits.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The worst ones I see are women applying eyemakeup with both hands, whilst driving with a van load of kids. Homicides in the making, no doubt. We used to live in the Washington, DC area where the traffic was a nightmare.

We moved away from the traffic, but I still see some awful driving, even though this is a much more relaxed city. I cannot imagine how bad the major cities are today. Yikes!

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This, of course, was a favorite part and it made perfect sense to me:

"So start to care,
Become aware,
And pay attention!
Because lives matter!"

There is a generation or so out there, whose only thought is for themselves. It comes out with the texting while driving, which is readily provable in court, where they no doubt will land someday. A lost generation, to be sure, in more ways than one.

Fine poem with a great message for those willing to hear it!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I enjoyed reading this poem and felt that the comparison between feelings and a heartbeat was an unexpected, but apt one. While there is life there is a heart beating and there are feelings, I believe. Whether those are related or attached, I could not say.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Sometimes it lies still.

It lies silent, spreading whispers through my mind."

As I age, I have more times like this where there is just this stillness and even the heart seems like it slows down. I guess that means everything is consistent and in tune with a common theme. Interesting to think of life this way -

You have an engaging and unique approach to life and emotion. I found it to be very original and moving.

Well done!

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

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the page and it took me to your poem about pigeons.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Birds are very interesting because they are survivors with skills that far surpass those of humans. I love to watch all sorts of them interact. Crows/Ravens are a favorite, too.

This poem made me think of the Mary Poppins song about Feeding the birds (pigeons) Tuppance a bag in the center of London.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* This was my favorite part, about the discovery of the beautiful white pigeon:


'"I wonder why Nature chose to make them
such unattractive birds?" These words barely
had left my lips when we both first saw him -
a pure white pigeon, with beauty seen so rarely.'

You never know when you will see a standout of any variety of bird or animal that will make you fall a little in love with them. I think it is the same with humans, actually.

Fine poem!

What brought hooves here to graze and read in your port?

*Cow* You sent me a very nice review, so here I am to read and review your fine poem about my favorite season, Autumn!

What Does spOOky hooves think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The title and description drew me in as it was about October 2011. Someone I love was critically ill that October of that year, but he survived. In fact, I learned he was going to make it on Halloween, so the last day of October in 2011.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite passage:

"crunch of leaves, fleeing of bees,

honey pop corn balls, pumpkins

kites soaring in the breeze."

Vivid imagery of a season I missed out on because of other things. But every year, for me, October is a magical time.

Loved your poem - well done!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea*I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your fine poem.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool*I thought about the clouds mainly and the wind. It is a windy cold day here, that probably has something to do with it.

I like how you personify the mountain and unexpectedly have the sun "wash away" its fears. I thought that was particularly moving.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

It's all very well written and eloquent, especially this part:

"And as the wind had met its ends,
it turned into a breeze,
soft caresses for its friends;
the branches of the trees."

The rhyme is excellent and the whole poem flows very well. I enjoyed reading it very much!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your free verse poem about brown squirrels.

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* You have captured the cunning and volatile nature of the little scamps. They plan for the winter so meticulously and even for their next meal to come, but yet they have a carefree attitude towards the dangers they face. I am convinced the ones who jump out in front of my car have a death wish of sorts. I am continually slamming on the brakes to avoid the little rodents.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

This was my favorite part:

"Appearing out of nowhere.
They seek to hide from the view
Of the people, pets, and automobiles
Who take uncasual notice of them."

As much as they disturb the smooth movement on the roadway I would never want to hurt one of them. I think they are very smart for rodents.

Nice poetic tribute to a smart woodland creature, with a reckless nature.

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea*I clicked on Read and review and it took me to your fine poem. It is always nice to visit with you and read in your portfolio!

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* I thought about the God given talent of being able to write and communicate effectively with others. Your approach is that it is not just something we do for enjoyment - we have a duty to improve our skills and communicate effectively about the world around us. If only the press of the world cared about doing such a good job, things would be a lot better for all of us.

I think you are correct, but I never thought of it in this way, if we don't do it we squander an opportunity that not everyone has.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

*Right**Shamrock* I especially liked this part!

"It is a writer's duty
to create
an eternal record
of all she sees,
she feels,
she experiences,
she knows,
believes she knows
or does not know
about life
and the universe."

Very interesting way to approach and think of the writing process that I shall not soon forget. Well done!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*Right**Idea* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your flash fiction story!

What I Thought About As I Perused Your Item and Readjusted My Nose Ring

*Right**Cool* That is quite a sequence of events that ended up in chaos. I like the title as this tells me that maybe this is just how Saturdays are when you have a big family and I am assuming that Rex is the dog.

What I liked best when I grazed in your pasture and did I swish my tail?

I liked the humor at the end when there is the attempt to recreate the telling in a video recording.

Nothing happens now unless it is memorialized in some way on video.

Fine story!

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* I clicked on Read and Review on the left hand side of the screen and it took me to your fine poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The western world, represented by Starbucks, invades the ancient dynasty that is China. There is a juxtaposition of nature and development presented as a discovery and appreciation of the surroundings.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Stairs fall into the water
A dragon imprinted on the smooth surface running down the center
But the ducks that have come to prune their plummage
don't seem to care"

Animals aren't impressed by the trappings of humans. They just go about their business as they have always done.

This painted a vivid and busy picture in my head. Well done!
