for entry "Jadis' Effect" Open in new Window.
In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a beautiful rhyme. The sense of an ideal rhyme focuses on here.


This poem captures a detailed winter landscape inspired by the chilling presence of long ago, the White Witch from C.S. Lewis's Narnia series.



This reflects on the sharp contrast between the joy typically associated with Christmas and the oppressive cold that symbolises Jadis's ruling period. The imagery of snow and ice serves as a metaphor for the loss of warmth and grace that Aslan represents, evoking a sense of nostalgia for better days in Narnia.


The poem's structure effectively carries a sense of hopelessness and longing, as it mourns the absence of festive cheer and the harsh realities of winter.


The reference once focused on the emotional toll of living under Jadis's influence, suggesting that the holiday spirit is diminished in her presence. The mention of Tumnus's cave adds a layer of intimacy, contrasting the warmth of companionship with the coldness of their surroundings.


A crucial moment in this poem comes with the mentioning of the greatest present of Christmas Day, which turns our focus from hopelessness to hope. This line connects the narrative to the Christian theme of redemption through Christ, suggesting that despite the chilling atmosphere of Jadis, there is a promise of new life and freedom.



This imagery of chains being broken and the reign of Jesus signifies a transformative power that can overcome the darkness of life.


Overall, this classic rhyme intertwines themes of loss, hope, and redemption, using rich imagery and emotional depth to explore the struggle between good and evil.


It serves as a narrator's reminder of the enduring power of faith and the possibility of renewal, even in the coldest of winters.


The closeness of Jadis's icy grip with the warmth of Christ's presence creates the entertaining narrative that echoes with the readers, inviting reflection on the nature of grace and the promise of salvation.

To combat against the cold, the heater was kept on, ensuring the apartment remained warm. The previous day was spent baking beetroot and squash, providing a comforting activity against the internal winter chill.This day also included moments of joy with her pet cat, Calypso, who enjoyed playing and longing in a favourite chair. The pet's playful mood was a bright spot, although the writer was dealing with physical discomfort.

Recently, the blogger had undergone dental surgery, resulting in the extraction of five teeth, which left her in pain and struggling with writer's block. Despite these challenges, the writer expressed a desire to continue blogging, although they anticipated a low productivity day.

for entry "Effect of A Criticism" Open in new Window.
In affiliation with disABILITY WRITERS GROUP  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
It is a very thoughtful poem about criticism.

It is a truly crucial poem that discusses the dual nature of criticism. It focuses on the importance of constructive criticism grounded in respect, which can benefit the author, as these guide the writers towards improvement and are often delivered with respect. Such feedback is appreciated and can play an important role in improving that writer's skills.

On the other hand, this tiny poem warns against those criticisms that serve to display the critique's own knowledge rather than to aid the writer. These types of critiques are considered meaningless and can be damaging, particularly to newbie authors, as their confidence level may be decreased.

The overall message stresses the importance of constructive feedback in fostering growth while recognizing the potential harm of unhelpful criticism.

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is another great rhyming poem by the poet. It's a forty-line poem.

This poem, "Slow Motion", tells us about the snapshot of experiencing life at a slower pace, particularly during this cold season and challenging times.

The imagery of cold weather serves as an allegory for the physical and emotional burdens that can weigh heavily on individuals. The poet reflects on how the chill affects movement and energy, suggesting that the body feels aged and weary, yet its slowing down also provides an opportunity for rest and reflection.

As the day transforms into night, the poem carries a sense of longing and the heaviness of unfulfilled hopes.

The mention of writing tasks focuses on the struggle to maintain productivity due to internal tiredness, stressing the tension between duty and the desire for respite.

The poet considers the divine, expressing a desire for spiritual fulfilment and the eventual return of the Lord, which adds a layer of hope to the narrative.This poem also touches on themes of faith and purpose.

The narrator acknowledges that living slowly and with intention can honour his spiritual beliefs, suggesting that even in moments of physical decline, there is a higher calling to serve others. This idea that God may use one's experiences and struggles to reach others strengthens the notion of interconnectedness and the importance of perseverance.

Ultimately, this poem concludes with a bit of faith, stressing that while the body may move slowly, the spirit remains committed to following divine guidance. The poet finds solace in the belief that God's will is supreme forever, providing a sense of peace in internal life's challenges.

This reflective piece invites the readers to consider the value of slowing down, embracing rest, and remaining faithful to their faith, even during difficult times.

For combating another incoming cold spell, a friend helped by putting up a blanket over the window to maintain warmth when the heater remained off. The author noted that life had been hectic, contributing to delays in various tasks that she wants to complete on an urgent basis.

The focus to this day is on working on an ongoing book, which the author refers to as 'cleaning out' due to the presence of repeated and unnecessary words.

Review of Doubtful  Open in new Window.
In affiliation with Positive Hearts Reviews Group  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (5.0)
This poem tells a strong narrative that deals with the themes of suspicion and rivalry between two neighbouring farmers, particularly focusing on the narrator's growing distrust of D'oz, who lives next door to the narrator. The narrator reflected on a past conversation where D'oz suggested that chickens might be stolen anytime.

Whether D'oz did the crime or not, we can't know that. Due to his jealousy and that thread warning, he became the prime suspect. It is a fantastic lesson for us. Always think twice before saying anything to someone, especially when he is your main competitor in business.

Additionally, the narrator lives next door to D'oz. So it is foolishness on his part to show his jealousy to the narrator. Due to his foolishness, D'oz planted the seed of doubt in the narrator's mind. This suspicion escalated, leading him to consider involving the police, focusing on the psychological tension and paranoia of the teller that can rise high from competition and jealousy.

This poem effectively captures the emotional turmoil of the narrator as he struggled with his fears and the implications of mistrust in his relationship with the neighbour D'oz.

Overall, it presents a compelling narrative that goes into the complexities of human emotions and the impact of rivalry on personal relationships.

In conclusion, this poem is based on a solid tale that the poet told us within just eight lines! It is truly an unforgettable performance.

Carry on this tremendous performance again and again.

On January 7, 2026, the blogger shared the day, which was filled with interactions and reflections.

The day began with a visit from her son, who brought news, followed by the arrival of a cleaner who had been scheduled for a week. The narrator struggled to clean while managing her pet cat, Calypso, who exhibited a fear of cleaning tools like the vacuum, broom, and mop, possibly due to a past experience. Despite that, the blogger found joy in playing games with Calypso, who seemed to enjoy the attention but also had a habit of sitting on the laptop, making it challenging for the author to write.

The narrator dedicated the morning to cleaning tasks, feeling somewhat limited but still managing to dust and clean the bathroom. She expressed appreciation for her cleaner, who was not only helpful but also thoughtful, as she often brought clothes from a free clothing centre that fit the blogger well. This mutual support focused on the positive relationship between the author and the cleaner, who was recovering from an illness.

The blogger hoped to press her head sometimes when she wrote some writing while Calypso was asleep, likening the experience to having a baby around, which underlined the challenges of balancing pet care with personal projects.

This blog post concluded with a heart-touching message of wishing blessings for the community on WDC, calling on the protection of guardian angels for everyone's involvement.

On January 6, 2026, rain marked the day, which the blogger found proper for resting. Despite the dreary weather, she managed to complete some tasks around the apartment but became too tired soon.


The narrator expressed satisfaction with her pet cat, Calypso, who remained calm and well-behaved during her absence. Notably, Calypso has a good habit of locating any pills that fall on the floor, ensuring those are picked up promptly to avoid any health risks for her.

The author also shared positive news regarding the recent knee injections, which had reduced the pain and improved mobility. Although the injections were painful at the time, the benefits were quite evident, prompting a return to using a walker for better movement.

In addition to managing health concerns, the author dedicated time to her poetry book, aiming for publication in March. That's truly good news for us.

She, the author, encountered a potential setback regarding a book signing at the local senior centre, as permission was pending due to city property regulations. Anticipating a negative response, the author planned to go to the local library for an alternative venue, expressing determination to explore other options for book signings.

The blogger concluded with a heart-touching message of support for a fellow member of the writing community, Anthony, and his family, stressing the importance of community and compassion during difficult times. That's the ideal spirit of any community.

On January 5, 2026, the blogger visited the doctor for knee injections, and she was very satisfied with that treatment.

She expressed gratefulness towards the medical staff for their assistance. Later in the day, the narrator engaged in a lively game of Mouse with her pet cat, Calypso, after bringing home snacks. The interaction focused on Calypso's affectionate nature, as she sought attention and love, leading the blogger to humorously note that she might have created a monster due to the pet's strong attachment.The weather was noted to be warming up temporarily, although it was expected to drop back into single digits soon, typical for the Wisconsin cooler season. The author mentioned a lack of thoughts of new writing due to being out for most of the day, but she planned to focus on writing the following day, anticipating a distraction-free environment at home.

This blog post concluded with a blessing for peace of mind and body for every person.

This blog post for January 4, 2026, reflected on a day filled with a few personal moments and also with some emotional challenges. The blogger shared her experiences with her pet cat, Mouse, focusing on her growing comfort and affection, as evidenced by her willingness to be picked up and her snuggling attitude. That connection with Mouse served as a source of joy and pride for the narrator.

In addition to the lighter moments with Mouse, this blog post delved into more serious family matters. The author discusses her elder sister Mary's battle with ALS and the emotional toll that had taken on the family. A hotline had been established to streamline communication about Mary's condition, which underlined the family's desire to support her while managing the influx of enquiries.

The author expressed a deep concern for her sister's well-being and reflected on the fragility of life, stressing the importance of cherishing relationships and restoring any faults.

Overall, this blog post carried a saddening mix of everyday life with a beloved pet cat and the weight of familial health struggles, reminding the readers of the predictability of life and the necessity of nurturing connections with loved ones.
