Chris,

Yes, it was too late in the round, but I love that you found something to inspire you and wrote it regardless.

I think that this shows the side of falling in love that can be scary, but it also shows that it is definitely worth the fall if you let it happen. Once you have it, you hold on to it and handle it with care. Sweet and thoughtful poem.

Write on,

Snow,

While this song is a popular parody choice, I know first-hand it is a tricky one to take on. You did a wonderful job here though! The hook is catchy, and it definitely feels like what many of us go through during certain times- no time for sleep; we have deadlines to meet!

Whiskerface,

I love that this parody and song felt quite festive in celebrating Writing's Sweet 16. I think that this parody shows what many of us first felt when we plunged into the site for the first time, and how our nerves quickly turned into something else because of the welcoming members. Easy piece to relate to!

Robert,

This is great! It can be sung along to actual music and it fits right in. It's funny I could the background vocals "when I write" as I was reading/kinda singing (I'm just glad no one could hear me)!

I also love that this parody had a positive message: never give up. Sometimes, we need reminders

Catdok,

I really thought it was interesting to use this title and create a poem out of pieces from the Bible. Though when I initially thought of "Fire and Flame" I did not have anything specific in mind, but this seemed that the title was created for the poem itself

Good choice of rhyming pattern too. The rhymes were subtle and did not feel conflicting.

Schnujo,

This makes me think about a relationship that is strictly dependent on one another- to the point where it becomes unhealthy. It can become an addiction in itself if you cannot separate who you are from who they are. There is certainly a difference between being united and not being able to make your own choices and function. I think that you chose some great examples as to what cannot exist without the other to prove this point true.

Schnujo,

I like the idea of this. Perhaps, it would be easier if there were some type of warning sign for us. Your poem shows that love can grab us when we least expect it and turn us upside down. We led a life before them and then once they've melted our heart, it is difficult to imagine life without them.

Knocking first is indeed the polite thing to do

Maria,

I like that though this is simple, it still sends a meaningful message. You long for friends and company, but there is still a boundary that needs to be kept. Privacy should be respected, so knocking first shows respect

I thought your ending lines tied this together quite nicely, and found this to be a pleasant and polite way to address this.

Hi Fran,

I really like the aspect of a fantasy themed piece using this title! There's a whimsical feeling that this poem gives me. I can envision the fairy floating through the air with the moon shining upon her glittery wings. There is something peaceful about a fairy coming to take someone a way, which is a nice take on someone leaving this world and heading to the next one.

Fran,

I love the message that you send through this. A mother's love is never fleeting and that even in passing, she is guarding over her child. The protection a mother can provide is one of the strongest. This just made me feel safe. Lovely job in showing a child that knows she is still there.

HuntersMoon,

This is a creative take on the prompt! I thought most people would think about someone else taken to soon. The personal journey of birth to death had not occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense.

I am impressed that you chose this specific format, as I personally find it a challenge to conquer.

Irregular Onion,

I love the dream that you presented within this poem. Though it does not really have anything to do with "Peter Pan" it still had a certain feel to it that reminded me of that story. I have always found that my dreams were way more creative than what is stored in my own head. I wish that were not the case

Good use of imagery throughout the poem that allowed me to be on the ship with you! I liked the hints of rhyme in your poem too.

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary, Lee! Hope you don't mind my comments.

I like the aspects of this poem. I think that you show the two sides, and possibly one cannot exist without the other.

There are things in this world that make us believe that there isn't any hope, but then you see someone truly caring for someone else, or the beauty that is all around us. When we see and experience these things it reminds us of how great some things are, and how wonderful the world can be.

I am glad you showed both sides of the coin in this poem!

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary, Lee! Hope you don't mind my comments.

Sometimes moments strike and the inspirations flow. I like that this showed the build up of a serious emotion, the release of it, and that something built on anger turned into a carefree thing such as laughter.

I think that this indeed shows a transition, so title suits it quite nicely. You used hints of alliteration which add a lovely element when read.

Very enjoyable!

Hi Regina!

I think that your words intertwine imagery and a fantasy-like setting in this. It's between a fairytale and fable. I like the idea that this is encouraging these "secret" things to be who they are and that they shouldn't hide. Your ending line tied this piece nicely together.

One quick thing:
Come now darling and you shall see
A beautiful fairy waiting for the.
He tells tales of joy
And tales of pain.

What is the fairy waiting for?

LostGhost,

I ran across this prompt a few weeks back and it intrigued me, so I was definitely curious to see what someone else would come up with. I like the idea that the time and experiences missed are buried within the graveyard of clocks!

Your use of imagery and metaphor show us a dark side. I really liked that you gave time personal traits. Thinking of moments laying awake and wondering why they were missed is a very nice touch!

Vanillafire,

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

Young love! I remember feeling like this. Your poem brings back the memories of butterflies and first of firsts.

I think that you did a lovely job in writing this when you were younger. You added hints of imagery which add an element to the poem. I think you show how love connects two people and how they become a unit. Unlike me at young age, you had a reality that this "may not last forever but you will always remember." I was much more dramatic, lol! I thought there would be no chance that "love" would end. It was a hard, but valuable lesson to learn.

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

Inspiring piece! Dreaming in words without color and images allows you to add elements into your stories and pieces creatively. I envy that you can remember your dreams, as I only remember them once in awhile. When I can remember them, they are far more imaginative than my mind could ever make up, so I truly wish that would become more available to me

I think that you capture why you write and what inspires you to write in this.

Winnie,

Happy Writing.Com Anniversary! Hope you don't mind my comments.

Heartbreaking poem! Your piece embodies all the things that your mother was to you, and what she became. There is nothing harder in life than to watch someone you love fade, no matter the cause. We are often raised with the belief that we need to help the ones we love. It's damaging when we try to do that, but we walk away from it feeling helpless.

Next month, marks yet another passed since this happened. My heart remains heavy to this day. Your poem speaks truth. We banded together and bonded. I just wish it did not take something like this to make that happen. We should never forget those we lost and those that were affected. Your poem recognizes that and the cost we paid.

Talk about using alliteration! Originally, when I read what the challenge was I assumed that you could use all three letters in your poem. This had to be tough to do.

I think that you did a good job in your use of the letter in relation to the topic. The restrictions of having yourself limited to one letter could have made this not make sense, but you stayed on the path. Nicely done!

,

I hope my comments are welcome.

I always love when someone takes on the challenge of a certain format, as I personally know how difficult they can be to create with success.

I think that you did a great job for this being your first diatelle (shadow) poem. I know these are truly hard because you have to consider the syllable count and the rhyming pattern as well. I find the more I have to worry about, the harder it is, but the results are that much more rewarding.

big blanket of white
Beautiful way to show freshly fallen snow!

This is a sweet poem about the winter season ending and the spring beginning. You present us with vivid images of nature, which made me want to play in the snow! It does not happen where I live, so I miss it. There is just something serene and breathtaking about being in a place, and standing in the middle of a world full of white. Most people probably wish for the opposite, but for me that was the hardest thing to give up when I moved to the South.

Lovely and entertaining!

A "Game of Thrones" Martell Review

a Sunflower in Texas

,

I have a close friend that was diagnosed with a bi-polar disorder a few years back. Honestly, I really was not sure what that meant or what to expect prior to her diagnosis.

They placed her on medications and while they seemed to help at first, she stopped taking them the way they were supposed to be taken. She'd miss a few days and then double-down a few days later. She really was in the worst way when she did this. However, once she started back up to the proper ways of taking the doses as prescribed, she was fine again.

I really appreciated the fact that you included links on where to find more information. It may help those that don not understand the disorder deal with things in a much better way. If you do not know what is going on, it can be quite frightening. Both the person that has this disorder, and the friends and family need to fully understand what is happening. I know there were times that my friend felt the lack of support from her own family. I feel if she had that, then maybe she would have played with her medications so much.

I found the list of people that have been diagnosed quite interesting. I knew about some of them, but not nearly as many as you have listed.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!

A "Game of Thrones" Martell Review

willwilcox,

You are wickedly humorous in this! I can't stop laughing. The thing you needed most decided to shrink, but this is a perfect example that men will try almost anything for a special treat. The rhyme and rhythm flowed smoothly and did not cause me to hiccup when reading. I also that that you did a great job in details and describing the wintry scene.

I did not pay attention to the fact that I was in a comedy folder, so I thought this would be a romantic winter poem about keeping each other warm or something similar to that. You were trying to keep warm alright!

I do not think humor is always easy to pull off in poetry. Personally, I have failed at this challenge several times. I'm funny in person, just not too funny on paper. Thanks for making me laugh! We're nearing the end of "Game of Thrones"

, so I definitely needed a boost.

I dare not ask what inspired this, but I like your sense of humor. It is edgy, but does not go overboard and cross any lines. Tastefully done and truly funny!

Thank you for sharing your work with us!
