Review of losing sight  Open in new Window.

A very expressive poem.

Nice flow to it--all the way to your conclusion.

I know not of a word such as 'aswim,' though I gather it could've been a typo.

I believe that the edict of capitalization should be a constant in any sort of writing, though anyone can do as they please--still?

I enjoyed the feeling that the poem expresses, though.

Review of Who Is Death  Open in new Window.

Your character was well developed and described throughout your poem and to the climax.

The rhyming was most excellent.

I only questioned whether you were missing a question mark after several sentences throughout your poem, particularly: 'Or does he just stay cast in a darkly, villainous part.'.

Otherwise, I enjoyed your representation of Death as you see him, the ever-present villain of life, the anti-life, the one who sulks in the dark.

I really enjoyed your poem.

I liked the pace of your poem. It was impeccable as it revealed and described the character splendidly.

It had a perfect flow all the way to the climax.

The rhyming was flawless, too, perfectly written.

It was very, very, very enjoyable.

I liked your introductory opening. It’s one that will surely connect with many kindred spirits.

The flow, pace, and cadence from start to finish was impeccable, as well.

I did find a spot that had me a bit confused, though. That spot was in paragraph five and line three, where I read “. . . laugh maniacal.” It didn't seem right unless you can justify that. I wondered if you rightly meant to write that in reverse with the adjective before the noun, as it should be. Aside from that, I saw nothing else.

What I did see was a very, very enjoyable short story, almost likened to a free verse poem that I enjoyed reading.

Review of MOMMY  Open in new Window.

I could help but like your poem. It's the kind of poem I would like to write one day for my Mom who parted several years ago.

You develop a kinship with those who have suffered a loss like you. That is what I liked best.

Yes, I most certainly enjoyed this heartfelt poem.

Excellent bit of humor, I say.

You detailed all the way down the cool punch line. Yikes!

I liked it. A nice flow throughout your narrative could be seen.

I humor story, all right, with a touch of possible reality, made enjoyable.

A nice intro, Lisa, and a finer path to the end of your tale.

I like animal stories, excellent characters for the right stories. I've written some, as well. They are great for kids, especially if it has a moral.

Here you have a classical moral for kids, for those who seek unwise adventures without Mom's permission, and deserving a good spanking, if the scare hasn't been punishment enough.

Lis, I do believe I noticed a few punctuations missing, here and there: one prior to a conjunction and one after a preposition. Sorry, and a period that should have been a comma, I noted.

More importantly, I liked the flow of your tale
