Review of Smile for Life  Open in new Window.
Review by Alilieu Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Spring and summer, whatever season, they can all be magical.

The seasons can be enjoyed everywhere on this planet.

But springtime always have a uniqueness that other seasons do not possess. It brings life back to the world.

In this poem, I read the vibrance of the field in spring.

Love the detailed descriptions, your writing successfully put me into the holiday spirits.

I can visualize your shopping with acute clarity, the writing is very clear.

The fairy tale story is a great read.

Review of Bringing it Home  Open in new Window.

Vivid description of trench warfare.

When given the order to charge, rushing through no man's land, trudging through the soggy ground and craters left behind by heavy bombardment from both sides.

Heavy casualties inflicted.

Review of Gray Rain  Open in new Window.

This poem is powerful, as it used vivid imageries to depict the menacing skies and the ultimate descent of the invaders.

I really feel a sense of foreboding, as the intensity picked up with each stanza.

Wow, this poem is beautiful.

I could not help but think of an elderly lady in a care facility.

I had read a book called 'Being Mortal', in which the author specifically wrote about the end of life care and all the hassles that are associated with it.

It is indeed sad how we are unable to take good care of the old.

I did read a heartwarming story about seven ladies who had compiled money to by their own retirement home. They are taking care of each other.

Review of Dirty Laundry  Open in new Window.
Review by Alilieu Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Procrastination, the lack of determination to get things done plagued me for most of my life.

There is still time, I can put it off a while longer.

Oh, such excuses are what keeps me from writing the book that I wanted the world to see. Of achieving the grandeur things that I dreamed about.

How to maintain the momentum, that is the question.

This piece is a surprising read, quite a shocker.

For a moment I was worried about that I am reading the confession of a serial killer and I was somewhat relieved after I read the second part.

Insect population had been dwindling significantly for the past decades.

Biodiversity is being harshly affected.

I watched a DW documentary about the declining population of the insect population in Europe and it does sound quite horrifying.

This poem gives me a bittersweet feeling.

Whatever happens in a relationship, there has to be some attachment prior to the heartbreaking breakups.

After the two parties moved away from each other, the only things that we can hold onto are those rose tainted memories.

The diminishing warmth is slowly giving out, but the charred remains are still there.

Review of Growth Spurt  Open in new Window.
Review by Alilieu Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (4.0)
Having the ability to turn into a mighty dragon seemed to be an awesome idea.

The protagonist, in this lighthearted writing style in the beginning really makes the character stands out.

One can easily picture a carefree college kid who has a secret power.

Then one begins to imagine all the crazy adventures he might be guided along.

I am intrigued and would love to know more.

This inciting incident revolving around asking the bus driver a question about peaceful thinking had indeed made the protagonist known.

Despite being ignored for most of the first year in the new school, it seems like the protagonist is about to have some interesting encounters.
