“Are memories so precious
Which no-one can take
Oh no, I’ll never forget."


I honestly love the whole poem but if I had to chose, the never forget part reiterates and confirms the importance and value of mother’s love and how no matter what she will never ever forget any of it. Also the first paragraph where gives a perspective from the baby’s POV is so cute.

A very good poem so I am giving it 5 stars.

Hi dogpack saving 4premium Author Icon

I’m reviewing your work today as part of the "WdC SuperPower Reviewers GroupOpen in new Window. raid!

A cozy little poem about enjoying warmth and comfort during the harsh winter. This was written as part of a contest with the prompt words as given and I think I’d not even know that’s why the words were chosen, as the flow and story the words tell seems to work so well. And there is a rhyming scheme on top of that as well. A short poem with well placed words that brings to life the imagery described.

Well written and thanks for sharing your work.

Hi Prosperous Snow celebrating Author Icon

I’m reviewing your poem today as part of the "WdC SuperPower Reviewers GroupOpen in new Window. raid!

An interesting and thought provoking poem about missing 13 years of your life where in good go to sleep as a single woman seemingly enjoying that life and wake in the nee year as a married woman and a mother. Some of the lines in the poem rhyme and some don’t but this doesn’t interrupt the flow of the story within it. There is the obvious confusion as to why and how this might happened and the poem ends with a resolution to get to the bottom of it and fix it.

Well written and thanks for sharing your work.

Hi S A Gibbins

A thought provoking poem about using one’s day wisely and prioritising all the important things in life. In reality though as you say it’s not that easy or simple to live it out that way. The poem has some rhyming lines and some non-rhyming lines but there is no interruption to the flow of the words or the lines because of this.

Well written and thank you for sharing your work.

This poem is a short and interesting one, very creative use of the word assigned to use into a vivid short story in poem form. Short poems are hard to write as each word must earn its place and it seems like a job well done has been accomplished here.

Hi Redtowrite,

This poem on breast cancer awareness talks about the struggles and implications of having cancer reduction surgery. I like how you have compared/thought through whether that defines a woman or there is more to her than just that. And I’m glad you have concluded that even though it won’t be the same, the courage to go through with it and win is also what defines a woman!

Well written and thank you for sharing your work.

Hi Jade Amber Jewel,

I came across your poem and thought I’d give it a review. A interesting poem about family and it’s structure. The poem starts off with the most important aspect of a family, it’s foundation of love. Some of the lines have rhyming words but some don’t, this seems to be a free verse poem so shouldn’t be any form to it.

Well written, thanks for sharing your work.

Hope you are well. I just came across this beautiful poem of yours. A lovely emotional and uplifting love story is being shared here and I like that it covers the ups and downs of life and how that affects relationships. The rhyme scheme a,a,b,b works well with the form and flow of the poem.

My favourite line is - Our love has won; we’ve conquered time and miles.

Well written so I give you five stars.

Hi Megan

A senryu poem written about Trusting in God. Though the pome is short, it is to the point. The form of the poem is followed well and the works with the flow, content and story it’s telling. It’s true that testing works the faith in us and the more we start to let go the more freer we become and hence we can lose our burdens and fly as you say.

Well written,

Jilu

Hello Dr M C Gupta Author Icon

Review of " DO NOT TAKE AWAY MY SONGOpen in new Window.

*Home* General Comments and Emotional Impact

A emotional poem about wanting to protect the one thing that matters most to the author, his song. I interpret this as the voice, the freedom to express and be oneself. One voice is one's own and cannot as you say enrich anyone else, but it is sadness and pain if and when one loses one's voice. This poem personally resonates with me and my desire to express and write and being able to do that freely here in WDC is an amazing privilege!

Review of "Still HereOpen in new Window.

*Home* General Comments and Emotional Impact

Your writing resonates with me very much, as in, I feel the same, it's a new year but not much has changed. I hope life gets better for you and I hope in time you start living rather than existing as you say here. May you find joy in everyday things and hope in a new beginning.
I have been through depression so many times in my life and honestly it feels insurmountable but gratitude for the simple everyday things really help. Emotions are good and may be sadness for a while helps us appreciate the joy and happiness, but staying too much on one emotion may be the problem. And may be just may be writing about these things will help in a small way today and can amount to much release and peace in the long run.

I am giving it 5 stars.

Review of "ruwth is writing...Open in new Window. "~ He Made Me Whole ~Open in new Window.

*Home* General Comments and Emotional Impact

Such a beautiful written and captured encounter with Jesus. I long for such encounters with Him and am absolutely terrified of the prospect of the same. I have had similar but milder revelations and perceived presence and sense of Him in my relationship with Him but none that was this clear or vivid.

Only last week I was wondering where the initial thirst I had for everyone around me to know Jesus went and the thought that I don't even care anymore crept in. I wondered why this was, had I become so complacent, comfortable, lacking in faith or just selfish. Still working through it to be honest.

And I do believe reading your item was not an accident, it was a divine coincidence. We never know how much our writing can impact and influence someone else's life. You've encouraged me to keep pursuing Jesus with all my heart and also to continue writing and expressing myself cause we never know who may read it and be changed.

Interesting and intriguing poem about God’s greatest gift to man. I’m not sure who has the gift of understanding a woman but seems like a pretty good gift to have if it helps the world to love and care for women better. Out of curiosity, is this a form poetry? If so you add info on what form and the rules for that after the poem as well.

Really insightful and useful information on marriage and the three main reasons for it. It is true that one should plan more time planning the day after the big day rather than the day itself. And good advice on why to marry itself, never for anything but love, but have in mind that love alone won't pay the bills.

Very true words. Our thinking pattern does shape the way we lead our lives. And yes it can definitely be the mud-wall blocking the freedom we crave. I like that you say to be aware of this and constantly pour water on it until it gives way. It shows that there is an escape and it is within our control to do so. Very encouraging and uplifting indeed.

The poem is about children, growing up and change. I'm the youngest in my family and even today my siblings and my parents sometimes treat me like I'm a child and I feel that it's always going to be like that. As mentioned in this poem, the love and care for the child can only be expressed by worrying about them or making sure that they are not in harms way. But this can mean when they grow up and want to go explore the world it will be very hard for the loved ones. Well written.
