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* YOu visited me recently with a nice review. So here I am to read and review your poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about this horrible crime and how violent things like this have impact way beyond the actual event. They end up changing people's lives forever when such a horrific thing is perpetrated on an innocent person.

Your title is very good - it drew me in and engaged me as a reader. That is the first I see in my reading adventures.

Your rhyming couplets flow well from stanza to stanza. I think it is poetically sound.

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

*Thumbsup* This part was my favorite, as it is chilling and fine writing:

"He buried her ‘neith the tree,
That is where her body be.
Alive was she, placed in the ground,
No one nowhere heard a sound."

That part about not making a sound is really sad. It is as if no one cares, but then really they do. You can tell that they do and will miss her terribly from the hints in the writing. Very heart wrenching poem.

Best of luck in the contest!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or much else. I am certainly not an editor or proof reader, heaven forbid! I am merely a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

You need all sorts of reviewers for all sorts of writers. We can't all write a dissertation every time. If I did that, I'd do about six reviews a year.

I do my best to write a review that will make readers who see the review want to come and read the work. That is a pay it forward movement when it happens.

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

*Cow* I saw that you added since I was last here and came to read.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Your animal collection sounds awesome. The thing you wrote is very imaginative about going to learn about Jane Austen and having such adventures.

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

*Thumbsup* I like reading about all the animals and the zoo. We used to live near Washington D.C. and I went to the National Zoo a lot on weekends, especially when the baby panda was born on my birthday in 2005. I went all the time then and it was nice. The Zoo was very close to Ireland's 4 Provinces, the pub my port is named for.

I have a big cow parade collection that many have given me members of. When there was a Boyd's Bears place in Gettysburg, PA there was a cow parade exhibit that was life size figures. This reminded me of that.

Very cool entry, Megan!

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that this is all too close to what really happens in life. It is a twisted tale and mothers always warn their daughters. Those daughters never listen. And, so it goes from one generation to the next. But if we knew more we wouldn't have as much fun being young, I guess.

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

This was my favorite part of the twisted poetic tale:

"and he loved her (for a moment).
but duty called,
and he drove away on his pure white steed."

Wow, I think for some of these "heroes" it is just that easy. And the gals are just that blind. I even admit to being pretty dopey at a young age, my own self. I was luckier than most.

You did a fine job with the prompt and I enjoyed reading your somewhat jaded view of life as we know it, in fairy tales I guess. *Wink*

*Cool**Idea* This is a fast paced chase, coordinated by the ultimate controller, the writer! The protagonist, Eron, zips around as directed by mysterious forces over whom he has no control.

He is chased by the menacing forces of evil, always a challenge.

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

I liked how this zips around and lot and the directions given and Eron's responses to them. I thought it was a creative and imaginative response to the prompt sentence. Well done!

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" Open in new Window.! *BalloonR*


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

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is a poem about trying to set things right after a terrible injustice has been visited upon someone cared about quite deeply. Those entrusted with too much power often abuse it with their mean and vindictive ways. But that motivates a search for the truth, which is what this poem is all about, a dedicated search for the truth. A lot of great and memorable literature has been stimulated by injustices and searches for truth in the world. Indeed, great movements have sprung to life at much less.

A life can be ruined when someone in the judicial system abuses discretion. This is a sad truth and it takes a lot of strength to combat such a thing effectively. Eventually, power has the habit of shifting, but for a time it can be a horrible situation to find a loved one in.

We all see abuses of power around us, all the time. Even if we do something simple, like quitting a group there can be a wave of vindictive retaliation thrust one's way. It is better to hold one's head up and find the higher ground of something to believe in, something true. What's popular and commonly believed is often so very wrong. But some are slow to realize what is right before their noses.

This is free verse with no rhyming involved. You did a fine job of incorporating the prompt line at the beginning and end, and having it make perfect sense.

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

This was my favorite part:

"This is not the end of the story,
where truth and justice must prevail;
enter into the middle, where all’s not right,
and it seems like all hell has broken free."

Sometimes when we set out to learn the truth to help others, we learn a lot about a lot of things. That can make it a life's mission if the dedication is strong enough.

I look at a review as my personal and unique reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day.

This site is open to all sorts of writers and reviewers. I like to keep an open mind about reading and reviewing. My own personal preference for reviews is that they be concise and more about the writing than the knowledge (or lack thereof) of the reader.

My personal goal is to encourage you to continue your writing adventures. You are the ultimate judge as to whether I have been successful in that endeavor.

Either way, I enjoyed my visit with you immensely.

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

*Cow* I saw that you had written this for the Pink Fluffy Unicorns Contest and came to read.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I loved the idea of the Princess playing with the Unicorns among the fluffy clouds. It is whimsical and I always like to imagine things going on in the clouds as cloud watching was a favorite thing my mother did to relax herself.

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

I loved it all, especially this part:

"Castle in the sky. The Princess loved this. She smiled.
Pink fluffy unicorns bowed to her and she blew them a kiss.
They jumped over clouds and each other with such bliss.
So many clouds and pink unicorns, over a lot of miles. "

Lovely poetic format you have chosen and your words are a delight all the way through. I could picture it all happening just as you wrote it! Wonderful work and it flows so well when I read it aloud!

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

*Cow* I thought I would send a review for this song as it is the first one that I had started with today.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think of this song whenever it rains now, too. Since Prince had hip replacements in both hips, I feel like I know what he went through since I have had that in one hip in my 50's so around the same age he did.

I know some of the pain he had and he was a really slight guy. It is not surprising that he had to take pain killers.

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

It is good that the movie soothes you and that we find a way to remember him through his wonderful songwriting and music. He's in a better place now I think where he is happy and doing what he loves with no more pain. I have to believe that because otherwise things don't make much sense.

Fine entry!

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

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I guess it is good to pay some attention to the real world. I don't listen to the news anymore except in the car. We got rid of Direct TV 2 years ago and I don't miss it. I look at a news thing on line once a day and that, plus the radio car thing is enough for me.

I am not sure I would write about the world today if I started to write again because I think it is so unappealing and depressing. I don't see much romance or kindness around anymore.

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

Well, I'm with you on the fact that Jane Austen is the best. She lived in her time and wrote about it. I wonder what she would think about all the nonsense that goes on today. She would probably be amazed that people still love to escape by reading her work. It was a nicer time, I think.

Nice entry, as always!

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

*Cow* I saw a few entries that I had missed so came to read and review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I love Easter a lot. We used to have big crowds at our house when the golf tournament here was played on Easter. The kids would all hunt the eggs in the morning and hubby and I would work on being Marshals in the golf tournament. We would tape ourselves on TV and watch later, which was a lot of fun.

One time, Phil Mickelson hit his ball into my neighbor's chair. He was very nice about it when he came into our yard to hit his ball again.

Lots of fun times associated with Easter, azaelias blooming and all the pretty flowers.

*Cow* I saw that you had added another entry to your Blog City Journal so I came to read some more.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am with you. I don't like the idea of her changing and rewriting it. Why didn't she write her own thing. Well, someone always thinks they can do better, but usually the original is the best. Maybe it was a sibling jealousy type of deal.

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

I guess once we write things we can't control them once they are out there in the wind. But, you would think that family would respect other family in letting it be. But there is that sibling rivalry type stuff.

Interesting entry. I agree with your approach more.

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

*Cow* I saw your poem featured in this week's Poetry Newsletter and came to read. Congratulations on being selected to be in the Newsletter! You are on a roll this month!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I can see why there would be regret and even a little bit of a bitter taste, especially after being portrayed by the yo-yos in Hollyweird.

When I lived in the D.C. area (most of my life) I used to go to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and look at the dinosaurs. They are very cool to think about. Did you know that the alligator has survived from the time of the dinosaurs? I saw that on a plaque at an alligator preserve in South Carolina. I think their survival has something to do with being able to survive in the water and on land. Could be wrong, memory is fuzzy.

We had an alligator sneak up on us once. Those guys can really climb and jump. We were up top at an overlook and all of a sudden we had company. They were supposed to stay in the body of water under us, but someone forgot to tell Mr. Alligator the rules.

Alligators are smarter than most humans, I suspect. I am pretty sure they are wiser than dinosaurs because they survived it all.

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

This was my favorite part:

"I was a mighty dinosaur.
The earth would tremble from my roar.
Now I’m portrayed by movie clones
and pictures of my fossil'ed bones."

Humans never learn from history and mistakes of the past. They just aren't made that way.

Fine poem. I empathize with movie portrayal frustration.

I have found that little boys always enjoy anything about dinosaurs. We used to go to the Museum of Natural History in D.C. where they had dinosaur bones. That was cool.

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

I had never heard of rock whispering. That is new to me. Well, I guess they can't answer back with anything so there's that. Remember the pet rocks? I got my dad a pet rock. I wonder what he did with it, now that I think about it. He kept it in a container for a long time. Maybe he set it free. I don't think he ever whispered to it other than to say, "What the heck is this?" when he unwrapped his gift.

He seemed to enjoy the humor of it. Well, dog whispering and horse whispering make sense to me more than with rocks. Come to think of it, my Dad used to say I had rocks in my head. Well maybe I could whisper to them then. I guess I will try it if I ever get really really bored.

Great entry!

*Cool**Idea* A story is told of fifteen years spent in a ghost town. The town was made that way by space invaders and politicians' false promises. The person writing does not know for sure what their own status is, only that they are alone.

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

This fine story for the prompt was very haunting and memorable. Of course we would wonder how survival would be possible. I like that you let in the possibility that maybe there was no survival after all.

Very creepy and an original take on the prompt! Well done!

This site is open to all sorts of writers and reviewers. I like to keep an open mind about reading and reviewing. My own personal preference for reviews is that they be concise and more about the writing than the knowledge (or lack thereof) of the reader.

My goal is to encourage you to continue your writing adventures. You are the ultimate judge as to whether I have been successful in that endeavor.

Either way, I enjoyed my visit with you immensely.

*Cow* I saw you had updated in your journal for Blog City and came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that a lot of writers daydream. I used to do it when I drove long distances. I got a lot of ideas for stories back then. Now, I don't drive very far and I get a lot less ideas. That is the best way I know to daydream - to drive on a long trip. But you have to be careful to stay awake.

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

When our minds wander, it means they aren't engaged in what we are doing I guess. Well, I should pay better attention to my driving, but then I wouldn't have many ideas to write. So, it is a trade-off I guess.

Very interesting entry here, Megan!

*Cow* I saw that this week marks your 6th Account Anniversary on the site so I wanted to visit and send a review! Congrats on this wonderful milestone!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that you have captured what is so meaning and timeless about witnessing the tears that fall in our lives. Your title and description are very apt. There are very few things as moving and enigmatic as a tear.

Is it happy or sad? We only have external signals to give us these answers.

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

This was my favorite part, this writing at the end:

"For if there is one thing for certain, it is that there are two times in life that we could not possibly be more real. "

I like how you don't spell it out and that the reader sort of has to figure it out for themselves. Maybe, even those two times are in the eye (no pun intended) of the beholder.

I took it to mean birth and then loss, crying at a profound loss. I could be way off there, though.

Very thought provoking story. Well done!

That guy on the floor would have really scared me to death. I agree with the assumption that he might be deceased. Well, who does that sort of thing, anyway? And why wouldn't the people working at the gas station realize a guy had gone in a restroom and never emerged. It sounds like maybe that was his regular place to sleep it off. Eeewww in a sanitary sense too.

Glad your mom came out of that incident okay. Who takes these guys up on these offers, I wonder.

Funny stories about the horrors of gas stations in dicey areas. Nice work!

*Cow* I am reviewing your story as a judge for "Quotation Inspiration: Official Contest" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about romance and how not giving up is the key to finding one's other half. This is the story of a girl who falls in love in the library. She has a faithful friend to guide her, but when she feels she is rejected the hurt and panic and humiliation overwhelm her and the first instinct is to flee. I think that we can all identify with that no matter what our leanings are.

Because of practical considerations, our protagonist Jessica summons her courage and returns to the scene of the rejection - the library only to find that maybe things are not as bleak as they seemed at all.

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

Not giving up is the theme and it is beautifully presented here. The dialogue is plentiful and it all reads very naturally and believable.

I enjoyed your story and the romance of it very much! Maybe this twin is even more of a match for Jessica as they share common interests that might not have been there with the other twin.

You did a fine job with the prompt on a couple of levels. I particularly liked the character and observations of Jessica's friend, and roommate, Imran. He seems like the ideal platonic mate.

I also look to see how well you express yourself in your entry. My focus is not detailed proofreading, but if there are glaring errors I may point to them here, time permitting. The ultimate thing for you to remember is it is your writing and you may do what you wish with it. If I give suggestions, they are no more than remarks on things I noticed while judging.

Thank you for writing such a fine and interesting entry for us judges to read and contemplate.

I saw no errors to point to or suggestions to make. A lot of readers will identify with picking oneself up after rejection and moving forward.

Well done!

*Cow* I am reviewing your story as a judge for "Quotation Inspiration: Official Contest" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The main character is a man named Aaron who has died. "L" who works for whoever sorts out where souls go in the afterlife has to figure out whether Aaron goes to a good place or a bad place. Aaron has lived a sort of life where his actions are pretty much even on the good and bad side. I think most humans could readily identify with Aaron (and L's) predicament.

Aaron gets one last chance to do things right.

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

Aaron finally succeeds where he might have failed. In getting up, he was thinking about himself, but in the end he thought about how he could make things easier for his wife, Sarah. This involved forgiveness and generosity of spirit on his part. When he goes back to the grave we met him in, he is much more accepting of what is to come because he recognizes that selfishness really isn't the name of the game anymore. So, he relaxes and waits for it, enjoying his surroundings in a way he neglected to do during the first life and temporary death.

This is a complicated and intriguing tale about choices and thinking about someone other than number one for a change.

Very well told. I liked "L" and the sense of humor and wit involved in "L"'s responses. He would have to have a good sense of humor in order to put up with most humans.

This proves that even in the afterlife, it is important to summon one's nerve and get up and give it a try. Never too late, I reckon.

Very clever take on the prompt - well done!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Your main character of Bradley is out driving in a torrential rain storm. It is set to last for at least another day. He talks to Stephanie while he is driving and she expresses fear and anxiety over what is happening to him. You describe the scene very well - so well that I feel like as a reader I am right there with him struggling to see what's ahead.

An inevitable accident happens and Bradley is stuck for a night in a hole, covered by his own car.

I noticed a small typo in the third paragraph down from the top. You have this sentence:

"Putting only a little bit of pressure on the brakes, then pumping them slightly, did Bradley stop his car."

I would change this to read:

"By putting a little bit of pressure on the brakes, then pumping them slightly, Bradley managed to stop his car."

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

It seems like he planned for the eventuality as enough food was packed and he has a feeling he will survive to get up and face another day. I liked at the ending how the sun was shining when help finally arrived.

Very scary about being out in rainstorms when it is hard to see what's in front of us.

Nice work for the contest!

It is always heart warming to read that love changes people if they open their hearts. I was glad to see the Grinch started to melt a little here.

Your story is very engaging and nicely told, but it doesn't relate to the current contest so that's why it was disqualified I guess. I wanted to at least send a review to let you know I read it and enjoyed it.

The word count that you have in your description is not accurate. You click on the gear in the item and you will have a selection that gives you the word count. It's then supposed to be typed in the body of the item at the beginning or the end.

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

*Cow* You sent me some nice reviews recently, so here I am meandering over to your pasture. I am reading and sending this review to you for your poem in your Give it 100 Folder! I think that is an awesome project to participate in!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* The title refers to how society treats the writer/speaker here, but I think it comes back on society. Why? Because this is a person who tells the truth. That may be an unpopular thing for a time (even a long time), but ultimately the good shines through the darkness.

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

This was my favorite part because of the irony in the title:

"Look into my soul and hear my voice,
silenced by those who want no truth."

That is what tells me that Society's Blight is on itself, not the person who would tell the truth about things.

I love the title, description and the layers of honesty that are revealed. Maybe things are not great at the moment, but that will change. I have no doubt. Well done in writing the 100 poems! That is an awesome goal and you are well on your way!

I am primarily a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

I like reviews that lead readers to read the items being reviewed. I hope this leads readers to your fine book of poems. Then, I will feel as if I did my job.

*Cow*You entered The Writer's Cramp where I gave the prompt. I sent you a badge and a remoo. You thanked me and invited me to enter so I thought I would meander over and send a public review to give you some free publicity.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think this is well set out and the rules are clear. You already have me dreaming of the beautiful badge that I might win if I am lucky and my muse doesn't leave a cow pie at my door.

*Thumbsup* I don't think you could be more succinct or clear about the deadline and editing and all that jazz. From experience, there will be some who still don't get it and who come in late and do other rule breaking things.

I don't know why it is that some just don't get it, but they don't. Then, they want you to break your clear rules just for them.

Be strong as the pink fluffy unicorn would tell you to be. Do not give in to procrastinating whiners. That is my best advice that I learned the hard way.

I am merely a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

This site is for both readers and writers. Reviewing combines the best of both worlds for someone like me.

I have my eye on that beautiful badge that I am coveting. Well, I will have to step up and write something, won't I. And follow the rules, HOOves. Yes, I know, conscience.

Well good luck to me and best wishes for a fun contest.
