This is written well. I found no typos or misspelled words. You held my interest from the beginning to the end.

You've done like so many of us have in the past. You apparently allowed yourself to feel pressured by someone else's expectations.

You'll do fine, especially if all your items turn out as good as this one.

Congratulations!

WOW! This is awesome. It's amazing what the imagination of a writer can come up with.

I like your style. I like the creativity, variety, and your artistic way of getting a point across.

Sorry! Your warning came too late. I'm addicted also.

Keep up the good work and cook, no I mean write on.

I think I'll have to disagree with you on the fact that you can't write poetry. It seems you did a terrific job on this one.

I do agree with you, however, about writing stories coming so much easier.

I found no typos or misspelled words in this. It reads smoothly. Plus, it has a message in it. It's easy to understand.

What more could one ask for?*Smile*

Keep writing.

Review of So Soon  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is written well. It's a very touching poem.

I don't know what I'd do if my best friend were to die. I know I'd have to go on with my life, but I just can't imagine it. We don't see each other as often as we did when we were younger, but I know she's there if I need her and vice versa.

Keep writing.

Review of The Unknown  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (5.0)
I gave this piece a 5 rating. I found no typos or misspelled words and it reads smoothly.

You've talked about something I've given a lot of thought to. Once again, I seem to be in a rut. When I think back over the years, I see that has happened over and over.

In times past, I was afraid of change. But for now, that's not the problem. I just need to find a way to make changes.

Thanks for sharing this.

This is absolutely beautiful. It sounds like your grandmother was a wonderful person.

I'm glad that you could also rejoice with the good memories as you grieved your loss.

It's hard to lose someone, but sometimes with so many memories it doesn't seem like they're really gone.

Keep writing.

This little poem is written well. I found no typos or misspelled words in it. The words and verses flow smoothly. You held my interest from beginning to end.

This is a switch from the way most of the poetry I've written tonight; from the deceased's point of view.

Keep writing.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed reading it. When I saw who I was reviewing, I sighed a breath of relief, because I knew I'd probably find no mistakes.

I know you cherish the purple afghan.

I really appreciate the part where you shared fond memories and had a good time after the funeral. That's the way it should be.

Keep writing.

Review of butterfly.  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is beautiful. I would like to make a suggestion that I think would make it look and read better. Each line that actually begins another sentence would look better if capitalized, I think. However, I'm not that good at poetry, so I could be wrong about it.

Keep writing.

Review of Grandma's Things  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (5.0)
You've written this well. I found no typos or misspelled words in it. It held my interest from beginning to end.

It reminded me that although my grandmother died 47 years ago, it was only about 4 years ago that I received a box of Grandma's things.

But the best things yet, are the memories that are stored away in my mind and heart.

Keep writing.

This is a beautiful tribute to your grandmother.

Although we miss our loved ones when they are gone, it is such a comfort when we realize they are in Heaven and they are no longer suffering.

Gosh! I just love Grandma stories. This one is absolutely beautiful. You have such great memories of your life with your grandmother in it.

I have wonderful memories of my grandma, but she's been gone nearly 50 years now. When I read something like this, I can almost feel her near.

Review of Thoughts on Gma J  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (5.0)
I had to give this a 5 rating. It's a beautiful tribute to your grandmother. I enjoyed reading this. It sounds like your grandma is tops.

The only thing I would suggest changing is in the first line. You're calling her grandma which to you is her name. Therefore it should be capitalized.

Keep up the good work.

This is a beautiful little poem. It has some very strong words of wisdom passed down by your Grandma.

It reminded me of a verse of scripture that says it's better to trust God than to have confidence in man.

Keep up the good work and continue writing.

I can certainly identify with this. I've already raised my children and now they have children of their own.

My two youngest grandchildren have been spending a lot of time with me recently. I was thinking the other day about I use to get down in the floor and play with my children. Somehow, I just haven't bee able to do this with Noah and Kellie. Then 7 year old Noah asked me to start back having the grandchildren's Bible Club. It dawned on me that Noah, 4 year old Kellie and I could do this.

I immediately started making a game out of learning about the Bible. It seemed that getting these children interested in learning about God's Word stirred up something in me that had apparently been sleeping for awhile. I want to study and learn from God's Word again with these precious children.

Wow! I got carried away. I was trying to suggest that you find ways to make learning fun for yourself and the children. (The only problem is, you might too excited at bedtime to go to sleep; you'll be thinking of more games and things to play and learn.

As always with your writings, I found no typos or misspelled words in this piece.

You always say so much in so few words. You think a lot deeper than most of us.


Connecting by giving, creates the momentum of
"love"... which is the most necessary
invention, that there is.
I think this is my favorite part.

The waiting was the hardest on her as she listened to the nurses shuffle around outside the door.

“Right now, the morphine has allowed her to rest comfortably and that’s about all that can we can do right now.” <--You began and ended this sentence with the words right now. I think it would sound ok if you left of the first one.

I've noticed some run-on sentences. You might want to read this aloud and check for run-on sentences and also be sure you've used punctuation marks at the end of each sentence.

This is a very interesting and touching story. However, there are a lot of typographical errors that need to be corrected. This takes away from the story.

With the errors corrected, I think you'll have a perfect story.

Keep writing.

Oh, how mMomma hated that term!When using the word momma as her title, it should be capitalized.

Review of To Babes Who Cry  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (5.0)
This is so beautiful. We should all remember not only our men and women in service, but also those left behind.

Not long ago, I had a little Bible Club with my grandchildren and some of their friends. Two of these kids (brothers) had a dad, an uncle and a cousin in Irag at the same time. I could really see a change in these little boys once their loved ones left the states.

Keep up the good work.

Review of Christian Survey  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (4.5)
I suppose this is a good survey. I often wonder why we have certain surveys unless it's going to help with one of our activities or some type writing that needs research.

You asked some fairly good questions.

I probably need to visit your port and read some of your writings.

I had to give this one a 5 rating. You have hit the nail on the head here. I don't understand where Christians are coming from when they do this to other Christians. I'm not going to say they are not Christians, but I am saying they can't be following the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

You've written this quite well. The words and verses flow smoothly making it easy to read.

I only found one error which I've posted below.

This is the first poem I've read quite like this one.


Check out the third line in next to the last verse.

One of my Bible Club kids has always said he wants to be a missionary when he grows up and he wants to go to Kenya.

You've done a good job writing this piece. I found no typos or misspelled words.

The words in it are heartbreaking.

I wonder if you maybe have a short story in your port about this, or would it be too painful to write about? It leaves the reader wondering how Jeffery lost his life.

Oh wow! This is awesome! You've written this poem well. What a message in it! I found no typos or misspelled words in it, either.

When I first started reading it, I didn't think I would like it. Then as I continued reading, I saw where you were going with it.

Keep up the good work.

Review of Non-Believers  
Review by grandmapenny
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is a beautiful poem. It has so much truth in it.

However, you need to edit this and make a few small changes. Anytime you're speaking of God, (this is His name), capitalize it. When using he, him, etc. and speaking of God, you should capitalize He, Him, etc.

Keep up the good work.
