Review of Her Tears  Open in new Window.
Review by highhopes Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.5)
Well written with deep emotional content. The lines consist of so much sadness and regret. It is a shame that death was the awakening factor. In so many relationships there is a lack of communication. Where did the enticement of love go? This leaves the reader wondering what did she hold on to during her sadness and distress. Great job bringing out descriptive details that made the tears so vivid to the reader.

Review of Paper World.  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (4.5)

WEll written with just enough detail to get the point accross. But, you put enough emotion and interest into the story that it leaves the reader longing for more information. The father realizes that the prayer reached farther than hope or medical words on paper could have ever promised. As his faith touched God's throne, his smile rose to greet the only one in charge. Now knowing it was taken care of.

Great choice for topic. Nature itself puts on many displays if only we take the time to be still, look and listen. The wind has different songs: those of the ocean with maybe balerinas dancing or maybe the roaring of a mountain stream as the tree tops move in the image of wild animals. I just thought I would give imagination a try. Or a form of just letting your mind flow into a energy level releases all stress.

What I am trying to say is you have a gift with words and using them to signify what is happening in a situaition. I believe you were describing trees as people dressed in their best for their particular culture. They were greeting and making welcome those of a neighboring country.
You know that is what is so great about writing, everyone who reads the piece will probably give you a different idea. Thanks for asking me to read. It was my pleasure to share your creation.

Great job expressing your emotions in such vivid detail. I love the way you brought such descriptive details of being in a storm at sea. I can relate to the emotional content, because as they say been there and done that. Well written. Content holds the readers attention.

Yes it is short, but emotional and to the point. It is not always the highest amount of words that get the point across. The quality and the feelings behind the words count the most. You know the saying truth will set you free and indeed that is true. Great job expressing your thoughts.

Wow, you did a great job with such deep emotions. Great flow all the way through. Words of love running so deep yet they will never grow roots or will they reach their potential later in life. True love is so hard to find, but it has to flow in both directions.

Great topic to write about and you did the title justice. Everything you wrote is true. But I hope somewhere deep inside these people is the strength and preserverance to keep own pushing and never give up. We are all God's children and He should be praised. Remember there has been lies and wars since the beginning of time,

Well written with a wonderful depth of details brought out as nature is described. Great job using words to paint a picture in the mind of the reader. In my opinion you could use some of your lines to describe the birth and first days of a newborn child. Anything created by God is amazing. Keep up the good work.

Well written with a high depth of emotions. It has been my experience that writing helps when you need to get something off your mind. Who knows, another person might read this, while feeling the same way. Your words of being down might give them strength. Sometimes knowing that someone else has been there and done that can give a person strength to overcome.

Written in short form with a strong point brought out. If it just a little longer, there would be more for the reader to grab hold too. You have left a lot of space for the readers' to fill in.

Great job expressing such a deep emotional level with the comparison of the sea. I feel there is a mystery untold in those waves that forever roll onto the shore. The waves remind me of a form of cleasning, but as we look even deeper there is something else flowing. Remember the blood flowing from our Saviour's side. Your writing is so fresh and alive. It captures the readers attention and keeps it.

Great job describing depression. Your words flow so smoothly and yet they run deep. You express what was felt in a unique way. The point gets across without the dark grim view that would normally ask for pity from the reader. The pain is deeply felt and is defintely real, but there is an escape before it over takes. I went through depression, but I didn't rise above it as quickly as was written in this poem. My problem was I couldn't turn loose of the source from where my depression came.

Great job describing what love is in a lovely manner. I agree with everything you said, but I wish we could feel this true love100% of the time. Well written with warmth flowing through out. Be careful that your love doesn't flow into the wrong hands.

Well written with an emotional depth pertaining to the topic. I think the majority of people have felt like giving up during their lives journey. The thought might have been there for only a second, but it was there. We have been given so much, just in life itself. The journey will have ups and downs. but what counts is where we are in the end. You did a great job bringing forth encouragment to the readers.

Well written with depth of emotional detail. I pray everyone that is having this problem will get the chance to read your poem. Maybe it will encourage them to move on with their lives. Leaving a marriage is a hard thing to do. It is easier to try pushing all the wrongs into the back of your mind. But, the memories will continue to haunt you. You have to find that inner strength and pull yourself together. It is hard to let go, but you have a whole new life waiting for you. Great job getting your point accross.

Great job using descriptive details to enhance the title of the poem.
You are so right on the mark. When we realize we can't carry the load alone
God will be waiting to help. He was there the whole time, but He won't force Himself upon us. Wheyou ask for help, He will surely ligthen the load,

Well written with words that seem to flow on paper like a melody. With each word bringing out the heartfelt memory of what could have been. On hand the love leaves a glow on her face and in her heart. Not being able to hold to the love for there was never a promise of tomorrow. The ending brings for a sadness for what was lost, but happiness still prevails. Good job bringing out such heartfelt memories.

Great job writing about memories of the past. There is sadness felt but also there is a positive aspect of counting blessings for what was shared. There tends to be feeling that he is dead, but in her heart he will always live as he did before with the yellow roses in his hand. It is never easy to turn loose of the one you love, whether it be by a break-up or death. Well written.

Well written with a depth on emotion present. The content is organized and is defintely gets the writer's attention. The only thing is the ending was sort of left open for the readers imagination or was there another reason? All in all this was a great poem. Thanks for sharing.

Review of Who I wish I was  Open in new Window.

Written in detail with reference to the title. I think you could add a little more depth to the story. You have gotten the readers attention. Why not put more explanation into why your feelings are so strong. Sometimes we watch a movie and it suddenly ends or we don't approve of the ending. Then we wish it had been longer. That is what I am saying to you. Since you have the topic and the strong emotional attachment why not share more with the readers. I t is there, all you have to do is put it on paper.
Try writing something so vivid and heartfelt it would surely be a tribute to Dana while she still lives. Such a positive effect could also trigger a healing process, because they say joy, hope and laughter sometimes heals. Let Dana and the world know the WHOLE STORY that you have to tell. Please send me a copy of your new work.

Great title. Written with a great depth of descriptive details. The emotion flows through out. As a person that has been through years of abuse, this really touched my heart. Been there done that. Thank God I survived. Wonderful job.

You did a great job expressing your attitude by writing. I am not being critical, but I do wonder what made you so hostile towards love.
I have never known anyone to attack love in such a critical way. Do you find that using harsh words removes the pain? Maybe you had a bad experience because you chose the wrong person to love. Maybe the one you chose to love didn't know how to give love in return. I lived in an very abusive marriage for over thirty years. My life threatened numberous times by the use of guns, knives, baseball bats and even being smothered. Hey I am not through with love. I gave every drop of love within but it was returned with violence and degrading remarks that took shattered all my self esteem. It took a while, but I have survived. Not only that, I found love that I thought only existed in fairy tales. I know I have probably already said too much. But, the first step is finding yourself and deciding what you want out of life. Don't just settle for the next thing that comes along. And No, it is never too late. I am 55 years old, I lost almost everything I had in the past. Starting over is never easy, but it is worth worth. Search deep within, you still have what it takes. Never give up. Try God's love it will never fail.

Review of Myself.  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
Well written expressing a different way of looking at lifes journey. I can feel your need of love and the sadness that was impossible to share, but it is never too late. Your being able to hide your needs might have been more beneficial to yourself than you realize. If there is nobody there to hear our cries, then then the pain will increase when the cries come back unanswered. When you finally are ready to empty all of the hidden despairs, make sure you call on God for the answer. He is always listening and will answer you. I am sorry if I got too personal. Your writing touched my heart. I too have tried to hide or maybe run from the truth. Great job.
