Hello Emberly Gray Author Icon

My First Impression:

I am glad to have found your poem in the Read and Review section. I looked on this as a bid for self-reflection and of choice.

My Favorite Part:

Sometimes, we cannot wait for someone else to rescue us. We have to dig deep and rescue ourselves. Well written and a good reminder. I like the part of wearing the scars of the struggles like armor. They may not be pretty, but they worked.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I hope to read more of your work in the future.

Hello THANKFUL SONALI Party Hopping! Author Icon

My First Impression:

I found this poem in the Read and Review section.

My Favorite Part:

I love the way you phrase your poem. Lipstick and mascara and pearls and lace can only cover up so much. It truly is what is on the inside that matters, and if we give it a chance, it will shine through all of the "trappings" in life.

True, it is easy to see beauty on the outside, and may sometimes help, but we need to quit being a society that judges solely on the outside appearances and look at the heart.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Thank you so much for sharing a sweet truth, and I really enjoyed reading it.

Hello StuffedBee Author Icon

My First Impression:

What a nifty puzzle. There were many items that made sense, considering it was the first Thanksgiving meal. It gave me very much New England vibes, with the mussels and lobster being on the menu. Funny, I didn't see turkey. LOL.

My Favorite Part:

You kept it very authentic, and sounds like a wonderful feast to have endured such a rough start in the New World.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Thank you so much for sharing this puzzle. Keep up the great work, and I'm glad to have found it. A great reminder to be thankful.

Hello JCosmos Author Icon

My First Impression:

As we come up on Thanksgiving, it is nice to see posts that are about "being grateful". We may not have everything, but are still content and grateful.

My Favorite Part:

The simplicity of "having enough".

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Many people could learn about being content. They are always looking for the "next big thing", when they don't realize the blessings that are under their own noses. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

My First Impression:

Well said! I would have loved a list like this for my kids.

My Favorite Part:

"you may not know who you are, but you know who you are not"

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Well written, and any girl would be lucky to have a mom who cares like this. Thank you for sharing part of your heart.

Hello shaeve Author Icon

My First Impression:

A wonderful glimpse into a summer's day.

My Favorite Part:

I think wishing to trade time for another day in the past is something many people wish for. For a world that is no longer there, except in our memories.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I found this poem in the Read and Review section, and I'm glad to have read it. Thank you for sharing part of yourself. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

Hello Alanlee Author Icon

Hi, and welcome to Writing.Com! I found your story in the Read and Review section.

My First Impression:

Your story caught my eye, and I admit to being curious as I read. I did not expect the way the story to turn out.

My Favorite Part:

I liked the detail that you put into describing the scene inside the box. I also liked the tongue-in-cheek ending. I hate magic, especially magic boxes. In his place, I would hate it as well.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Just a couple of suggestions...take them for what they are worth *Smile*

The last line of the first paragraph: Can't this be possible? Perhaps try Can this be possible, or This can't be possible!

6 lines from the ending: "We'll have an early trash collection... Perhaps try We have an early trash collection...

Thank you for sharing your work. I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.

Review of The Arrival  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hello winklett Author Icon

My First Impression:

An interesting story. It gave m vibes similar to the Noah's Ark story, but from a woman's perspective.

My Favorite Part:

The story wasn't rushed, and her perspective was a nice twist.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I saw no grammatical issues. I could see this as an opening chapter to an entire story, if it was based on the story of the Flood. I found it in the Read and Review section, and I'm glad to have read it. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Jay O'Toole Author Icon

My First Impression:

I found this poem in the read and review section.

My Favorite Part:

I love how you've made a wonderful poem about the great memories growing up. I even got a chuckle about giving the parents "gray hairs". I think all kids do that to their parents. Ha!

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

The cadence to your poem was bouncy and a pleasure to read. But then again, it is no surprise with your flair of poetry. Thanks for sharing your heart, and trust in the promise of a grand reuniting one day.

Hello JL Richter Author Icon

Your item was advertised on the Newsfeed, so I thought I'd check it out.

My First Impression:

My relatable fear of monsters in the closet was when I was a lot younger. If I forgot to close the sliding door, I swore I could see the outline of Sasquatch (Bigfoot) in my closet.



My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I didn't know where this story was going, with the voices and whatnot...I would have been scared silly. I don't think a gun would have helped me at all. But a whole new world inside the closet was an unexpected twist. Thank you for sharing your little story.

Hello Cappucine Author Icon

My First Impression:

An interesting hook for what could be a cool story.

My Favorite Part:

The caring nature of the one who brought this changeling in. They didn't care about the consequences, but chose life for this little one.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

This was written some time ago. Was it for a prompt? Was the scripture reference the prompt for the story? I found this story in the Read & Review section. I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.

Review of Fear  Open in new Window.

Hello Sumojo Author Icon

I found this in the Read & Review section.

My First Impression:

I could feel the fear and then the terror of the girl. I'm not a fan of the dark, and my imagination can cause me to freak out. So this is relatable to me.

My Favorite Part:

I didn't know how this was going to turn out, and for a minute, I was going with a dark murder scene. My heart finally slowed down when I realized they were both trying to catch the last bus. Whew!!

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

A catchy little story, and I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing it. It seems you have a penchant for scary stories. Ha!

Hello Jimminycritic Author Icon

My First Impression:

An interesting POV writing as a magic wand. Having just binged the Harry Potter series once again, it caught my attention. I found this in the Read & Review section.

My Favorite Part:

The wand seems somewhat self-deprecating. I enjoyed reading about how to make the wand more personal and more powerful depending on what purpose it would be used for.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I know this was written a while ago, and the entry was for a contest that isn't there anymore (Invalid Item). I appreciate your story, and that you shared it. I also collected the trinket, even though you thought maybe one shouldn't. I'm a crafting enthusiast, so it's now in my collection. Thank you.

Hello Ida_Matilda_Wright Help Author Icon

My First Impression:

I found your writing on the Read & Review section

My Favorite Part:

To me this poem is somewhat relatable. I married young, had three children and was married 16 years before it all came crashing down. I'm going on 60, and live with two of my three children due to health issues. I'm somewhat alone, but I've since made peace with that.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I saw no grammar issues. Sometimes your writing has a rhythm to it, and sometimes it loses me a bit, but I still like the poem and the feelings it conveys to me. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Ned Author Icon

I found your writing in the Read and Review section.

My First Impression:

Short, sweet, and quite the hook.

My Favorite Part:

I liked the way you described what went on in the jazz club. The setting I could see clearly in my mind's eye. I did not see the ending that came. It kind of startled me, and gave me Twilight Zone vibes. Or maybe even X-Files vibes.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

390 words and it is complete. A surprise ending, but quite the clincher. I'm glad that I found this and enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Howl Author Icon

My First Impression:

An interesting lullaby. I don't know that I've read one like this.

My Favorite Part:

It encourages imagination, reaching out past what we can see with our eyes. I can picture momma singing to her little one, trying to settle down for the night.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I like this, and I'm glad to have found it in the Newsfeed. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Sorji Author Icon

Hi there. I found your poem in the Read and Review section.

My First Impression:

Mother Nature can be the most fickle of beings. This year's weather is no exception. When you expect drought, rain doesn't end. When you expect balminess, then the triple digits come in to blister. I do believe Mother Nature is bi-polar and needs to be on meds. LOL.

My Favorite Part:

You describe nature as fleeting - "wait come back!" This is fitting, and is reflected in your writing.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

No suggestions, just a fun read. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hello sweetgirl81 Author Icon

Hello. I found your writing on the Read and Review tab.

My First Impression:

I understand the "me and dad against the world". When I was younger, the sun rose and set on my dad. I was also angry that I was a girl and could not be "just like dad". I have since learned that my dad has feet of clay, but I still love him. I cannot imagine having gone through what you did growing up, but I can see how that has shaped your thinking.

My Favorite Part:

You wrote from the heart, which can be hard to do. It's easy to "gloss over" the events of the past, but you seem to be almost clinical in your thinking.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Keep surviving. If you've given up on your father, I'm sorry for that, but it is totally understandable. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself some grace. You do deserve it. Thank you for sharing.

All things "witchy". Some of the words I had to look up, as I wasn't familiar with them all.

My Favorite Part:

What a cool puzzle to help celebrate WebWitch's 18th WdC Anniversary.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I hope she enjoys, as does anyone who comes in to solve it. Thanks for sharing.

Hello ridinghhood-p.boutilier Author Icon

Hi there. I found your poem in the Read and Review section.

My First Impression:

A crying out for a "mother" to care, to nurture, to do the things that only a mother can do. The crier's own mother for whatever reason is unable to fulfil that need.

My Favorite Part:

It reminds me of King David's own cries to God; asking for help and guidance that only He could give. Everyone deserves to be held and nurtured by a mother figure.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I am glad that I got to read this poem/cry. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Lilly Author Icon

Hello, and welcome to Writing.Com! I found your poem in the Read and Review Section.

My First Impression:

Very sing-song like, the words floating like little fairies in the twilight.

My Favorite Part:

Your last verse touched me. Evening, where "dreams take flight" and also "souls". I found this interesting, and added to the poem.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I like the minimal use of punctuation, and saw no grammatical errors.

I'm glad I found your poem, and I hope you find a writing home here at Writing.com. I look forward to more of your work. Thank you so much for sharing.

My First Impression: Short, sweet and to the point. I wasn't sure where this was going, but it tells a quick tale with the point of view from little Jimmy.

My Favorite Part:

The perspective is awesome and having read it, quite accurate. Poor little Jimmy, he just wants to explore. "Mean" mommy just wants him safe.

I found this in the Read and Review Port, and I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.

Hello W.D.Wilcox Author Icon

Hi there. I found this story in the Read and Review port.

My First Impression:

This gave me "Screwtape Letters" vibes. The demons talking about trapping a "live" human.

My Favorite Part:

I enjoyed the dialogue between Anal and Poot. Funny names, by the way.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

I'm glad that I read this. It's been a while since you've written this story, but I can picture the scenes in my mind clearly. Thanks for sharing.

Review of Ode To Lettuce  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Hello D.B. Author Icon

Hello there~ I found your offering on the Newsfeed as a featured poem.

My First Impression:

I am a gardening enthusiast, and I quite agree with the plight that your poem addresses. I've never been good at growing lettuce, but cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini can get overwhelming at times. LOL.

My Favorite Part:

Your four line stanzas all rhyme, which is no mean feat. They flow, and rather than come off "whiny", gave me a chuckle.

My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:

Not sure how to fix the lettuce issue, but if you ever find out, let me know, please. I'm glad I'm not the only one out there.
