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.

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

*Cow* I am reading your fine poem as you posted before I did in the I Write in 2018 activity!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* We all take that final journey that you write so eloquently of. Last evening, I had a glimpse into the abyss as a tornado touched down about 2 miles from where I was. Better get my act together here is the message I got.

Well, your rhyme flows very well and I found it very effective that you sick mostly to eight (once in a while, 9) syllables.

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

This was my favorite passage:

"The ferryman continues on,
his eyes ablaze within his face
for he awaits a coming dawn
whose light will never see this place."

Very haunting and gives one pause to examine what has gone on before. Today and going forward it makes me want to do better.

Brilliant poem with what seems like effortless rhyme, but I know that a lot of work went into this to make it look effortless.

Wonderful work!

That part about Jack Frost on his drunken rampage and the awkward meeting after saying the mutual goodbyes was hilarious.

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* I am reading for the I Write in 2018 Activity and you posted in the forum right before I did!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is a lovely, romantic poem about being held by the force of caring and emotion.

I also thought that it could be applied to what some of us see as the life waiting beyond this one, so it took on another aspect as a confirmation of faith.

We all know we will get there one day if we make the right choices and just hold on to that belief system that we were taught as little ones.

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

The poem is short and direct, but the language is poetic and the imagery is vivid and well presented.

This was my favorite part:

"We leave the confines
of this lovely place to float
in rapture amongst the stars."

I think that is very memorable and it proves that you don't need a lot of words to say a lot to your readers.

Well done!

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

*Cow* You sent me a very nice review so here I am to read and review also!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I could understand Shimmy's frustration. Roscoe reminded me a lot of my Basset hound, Boo. She likes to sniff every inch of ground and explore. She is not too aware of the weather while she does it or anything really besides where her nose takes her.

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

I was glad they were united at the end in their mission to get out of the weather. Fear, once absorbed, has a way of focusing the senses. I have a feeling my Boo would still be sniffing so good for Roscoe in heeding the wake-up call of the wild weather.

Delightful story!

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

*Cow* You sent me a nice review recently so here I am moseying over to read and review your fine poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I loved that "Attitude of Gratitude" We should all work on having that more, especially those of us lucky enough to live in this amazing and varied country!

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

This was my favorite part:

"My attitude is gratitude,
I whisper a prayer of thanksgiving
as I snatch
a quiet moment
before the beginning
of a hectic day."

That small chocolate cupcake sounds pretty yummy, also. We live in a digital world now, no doubt, but it's still good to stop for moments of sincere thanksgiving, and not on the day designated for that.

Lovely poem!

created by marphilhearts & gifted by siscok



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

*Cow* You sent me a very nice review, so here I am moseying over to read and review in your fine Daily Poem Contest Book.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think (as you so wisely say, yourself) that there are no rules with Free Verse.

To me, this poem is trying to distinguish between every day noise and what is real. Sometimes we have to get away, and sometimes we can just do it in our heads. There is way too much noise and communication going on in the modern world.

So, to sail away is something that is inviting and even healthy at times. The storm can be a literal one or one of our own making, I reckon. To me, it's a metaphor for all the nonsense that we hear on a daily basis.

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

This was my favorite part:

"[Silence]
like the eye of the storm.
A perfect moment where I exist"

It is hard to know what is real and what isn't these days. Hold on to the bits and pieces of the natural world is my best advice.

I enjoyed reading your poem very much, my friend!

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!

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 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 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!

*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?

*Right**Shamrock* I liked hearing how going to St. Augustine gave you the idea to write that. Very cool!

Nice work, as always! *Heartg*

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*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*

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*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!

The Writer's Cramp is a great way to meet other writers (by reviewing their entries) and to get your work read. Also, many Newsletter items featured and Quill entries have originated from experienced writers who regularly read in "The Writer's Cramp. Whether you win or not on a particular day, rest assured that your item will be read by those on this site who enjoy reading for its own sake.

4ps a.k.a. HOOves, sometimes tHiNg

P.S. I am someone who loves to read and review. That is a pretty simple statement and it is true, in the spirit of Ernest Hemingway, who once said, "Write one true thing."

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!

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

*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.

Thought provoking entry - well done! *Heartg*

Why I Meandered Into Your Port to Read Your Item

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

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!

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

*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!
