Review of Medication Meditation

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (3.0)

A sincere, heart felt recount of a daily routine that is necessary for life itself.

Powerful, life saving, essential.

But it just feels a little uncomfortable.
It's a stuctually sound poem, but it's not poetic.

It doesn't sing to me. It doesn't draw sympathy or empathy from me.

I like it more for its conformity than its creativity.

Review of AWAKENING SOUNDS

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (3.0)

You need to perform this one, rather than let someone read it.
Having tried to read it I feel like I'm talking in tongues.

If you read this to me, I'm sure it would sound great.

I didn't understand this, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate it if you did it as a performance poetry piece.

Review of Pizza

Review by Northwood

Rated: 18+

| (2.0)

This is a super good idea for limerick.

Who eats fast food, and why, because it's rubbish and it'll rot your teeth. Or something like that.

It doesn't quite fit or flow as a limerick, although it tries.

Good effort.

Review of Broken

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (4.5)

I like this and you can have 4.5 stars.

That's it. I like it.

But it's doing my head in!

Okay, would it be better if 'could' in the third line was 'can?'

After all, if 'could' stays as 'could' and you change 'love' in the first line to 'loved,' you screw up the 9th line.

It's a dilemma.

But it might be right as you have it. I don't know. I'm not smart enough to know.

But I like it and you can have 4.5 stars.

Review of QUOTES AND WORDS OF WISDOM

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (4.0)

You just summed up wisdom.
The E=MC Squared of literature, but with more syllables.

Its a good quote, and I'm surprised it hasn't received a rating 'till now.

Review of UGLY FACES

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (4.5)

You need to thank the boss here. 'Read and Review' keeps throwing your work up for attention.

I'm sure you don't want a big critique here.
Just let me tell you that I appreciate the thought, effort, and design that went into this piece.
You did a great job. I admit I especially like this sort of creativity.
And it had great humour too.

I'll pass your next piece that pops up. I don't want to be a stalker.

Kind regards,
Northwood

Review of Behind The Lines

Review by Northwood

Rated: E

| (4.5)

Very encouraging and empowering piece. I enjoyed it very much.
It's motivational and optimistic, and can see and hear people identifying themselves within it.

My favourite line is, "Step out, speak up, do your thing."
Yes, people, step out and shout, "This is me!" Love it.

Nice work, Seabreeze.

Kind regards,
Northwood
