Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine a few days ago and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. I liked this poem and thought it was full of fun and whimsy--although I would question inter-species dating. *Pthb*

In any case, the poem was very imaginative and I was very easily able to visualize the main characters in the sea and in the air; I imagined the owl courting the mermaid on a moonlit night...

I didn't see any errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation, so that's always a plus.
Keep up the good work and write on!

Thank you for sharing your work. This was a good read, if a bit dark. It was simple in message and tone, and I personally really liked that. I didn't see any errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation, so that's always a plus.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Thank you for sharing your work. I loved this. I thought it was so sweet and I smiled as a read it. I did try to put it to music in my head....but let's just say there's a reason I'm not a musician. LOL

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. I loved this piece--it was light and fun and so appropriate after a busy, holiday season and right before the dreaded return back to work. I didn't find any errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation either, so that's always a plus.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine last week and I wanted to return the favor.

Thank you for sharing your work. This was very descriptive, and it was easy to visualize the scene as well as feel the emotions of the moment. I also got that sense of calm that happens after the storm has passed...although before you survey the damage, of course.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hello!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. This read more like an essay or a journal entry to me, and it just shared the importance of bananas in your culture. So many great things to do with bananas!

Keep up the good work and write on!

Thank you for sharing your work. This definitely was kind of "lousy", but still fun nonetheless. I hope this wasn't based on a true story!

Keep having fun with your writing!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine a while back and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work! I thought this poem was absolutely adorable and I enjoyed the tale you told (I love narrative poetry!). The poem was very descriptive and I was easily able to imagine the little dragon doing his thing.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. This piece was interesting, but it does need some work. The main thing that bothered me was the rod in his shin. The idea that he was "tending to patients" while there was metal rod seems illogical to me. I would think it would A) impede his ability to walk,and would NOT go unnoticed and B) it would cause a considerable amount of pain, certainly more worthy of that just a "sigh" of inconvenience, because that is how it felt when I read it. Additionally, because there were bumps on the rod, I imagine this would have been excruciating and would have elicited more than just a "sigh".

There were a couple of problems with the tense as well. It shifted a little bit from present to past in some places.

Otherwise, this piece was intriguing. I was wondering what brought about all this upheaval, for sure. However, please know that these are just suggestions. Take them or leave them as you see fit.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. What a lovely and poignant tribute to your mother. It is tender and soft, but captures a lot of the grief we often feel when we lose someone close to us. I liked how the ingredients were things that were dear to her...they only work to sweeten and tenderize the "meal".

I didn't see any errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation, so that's always a plus. Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. When I went looking through your portfolio, I found this same prompt that you reviewed of mine...You did a great job with this! There's a reason you won first place! It's always fun to see how people take the same prompt and interpret it. I love that.

In any case, what I liked about this is the fact that it's so descriptive, especially the second stanza. The action in the poem was very easy to visualize, and left a lasting impression of memories and summers past...

I didn't see any errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation, so that's always a plus!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine earlier and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. I thought this was an interesting piece of writing, but I don't think this is quite a haiku. A true haiku consists of three lines (which you have) but there is a syllable requirement that you have to meet as well. The first line should have five syllables, the second should have 7 syllables, and the last line will have five syllables. Generally, haikus usually talk about nature, but nowadays, I've noticed people don't follow that rule that closely anymore. In any case, maybe you want to revisit this so you can make it more like a haiku in the truer sense.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Elizabeth John

Hi there!

Thank you for sharing your work. I loved this little poem. I thought it was wonderfully descriptive, despite its short nature. I could easily picture the doe and the fawn in the woods, wary of would be passersby...

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine recently and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. Both of these poems were great, although I think I preferred the second one better. It just appealed to me more. Regardless, you did a good job with each one actualizing the nature of a keyboard and the joy it brings to its listeners.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine recently and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. You did a great job meeting the challenge of this prompt. I remember seeing it and thinking, "Nope. I'll pass." It was very interesting to see what you did with the prompt, and I loved how the cat kept trying to find a perfect name for himself, since his humans obviously did a lousy job, LOL.

The story moved at a good clip, too, and it was very descriptive. I could very easily see the action (the cat moving from one room to the next) and his "inner dialogue" was really on point.

Good job with this! Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine yesterday and I wanted to return the favor! *Smile*

Thank you for sharing your work. I thought you did a great job of meeting the challenge of the prompt. The story was very descriptive and detailed, and it was easy to visualize the scene of unhappy and disgruntled travelers trying to get on the next flight with kids in tow. I think the story is completely relatable. I didn't see any errors in grammar, punctuation, or spelling, so that's always a plus.

Hi there!

I was just passing through, but I wanted to share I loved your poem! As a matter of fact, whenever I see you have entered a contest, I think to myself "Whelp, that's it. He's won." I was kind of surprised that I won today, actually, after having read yours.

In any case, I loved the rhyme scheme and the imagery you invoked. The story you crafted was just lovely--really, those are my favorite kinds of poems. You do them very well.

By the way, the poem for Peach, Pink, and Purple was also phenomenal. I really loved it. It was just beautiful and ethereal at the same time....great work.

Keep up the great work and write on!

Elizabeth John

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine recently and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. This was a great piece of writing, I thought, and it was very descriptive. It elicited all kinds of images in my head, and that's a good thing. I also thought you did a good job of meeting the challenge of the poem style itself, so kudos on that one.

Hi there!

Thank you for sharing your work. This was just lovely. I was able to easily imagine an older couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary--and how sweet it is! You captured a lot of emotion in this short piece, so Bravo!

I only have one critique: I think it should be "love's light"...but that's just me. You ultimately know what the intent of your poem is.

Keep up the good work and write on!

Hi there!

You reviewed something of mine the other day and I wanted to return the favor!

Thank you for sharing your work. I thought this piece was interesting, but I did feel a bit confused at times; I wasn't sure if I was reading a free-verse poem or a rhyming poem. I kept stumbling over some lines because the rhythm was off...or perhaps, there was no rhythm intended, but the flow was off. It could be that some of the sentences are just a little bit wordy. For example, I would edit this line like this:

Original: No longer alone, with only one thought her face does appear to me.

Edited: No longer alone, her face appears to me.

OR

Original: I once stood alone, but now she is near to me.

Edited: Once alone, now she is near.

In any case, these are just suggestions. Feel free to do with these suggestions what you will.

Keep up the good work and write on.

Respectfully,

Elizabeth John

Hi there!

I was just stopping by to see who won today and can I just say: WOW! This is just lovely!

And I gotta tell you--I am a die hard fan of Scrabble. So for me, this was especially moving and poignant. Additionally, the rhyme scheme and the imagery evoked was just fantastic, so kudos to your for this verse!

I didn't see any errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation, so that's always a plus.

Congratulations on your win today--well-deserved!
