Review of ON A CLIFFS EDGE.  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi, love the format you have chosen; it flows so well and gives it a special flavor. My favorite is the 4th stanza. I think of the seed and its growth how we all grow and become better as time goes on; especially people who write. Amazing creativity here at Writing.com.

I also see that you have written a book (Amazon). I do hope it has been fruitful for you.

Blessings,
Seabreeze

Nice. I like the rhythm, or bounce it seems to have. Fascinating how we need our trinkets and our toys. What is it about us that like to collect things? Thanks,

This is funny! I like using animated targets and insects the better. I could visualize these characters talking with their long pointed noses and could remember when bit.

Great job in your dialogue,

Review of Two way street  Open in new Window.

Good write! I think we all have felt that way from time to time. Communication is a hard thing to perfect. Maybe never possible. But we keep trying.

The third stanza is my favorite as it says so much. This is much of what happens in families today. Especially mons and dads raising kids - teens. If open communication is not taught by the parent to the child early, I believe that child will have a hard time in this world.

Thanks,
Seabreeze

Excellent writing; the poem says so many things that can be said easily.

I love the rhythm; it beat I could feel and hear.

Motherhood is a hard job, untahnkful job but I would never trade my experience. I have a wonderful son. Wanted more children but life decided no - hysterectomy.

Blessing to you and thanks for sharing your feelings and thoughts in your poem.

That was a cute little story. I first was thinking, if you live close to the Canadian border, do you have to pay anything to Canada as well? Oh well, just wondering.

Thanks for a fun read,

OMG, this is so funny. I can relate. My first apartment was a small house in back of another residence. I had an old kitchen stove, from the 30s maybe, a Murphy bed and the bathroom so small that when you set down to use the bowel, and needed to open the door for any reason, you would have to turn sideways to get the door open as the door would hit your knees.

Blessings,

Short but to the point.

Caleb, who stood faithfully and was rewarded. He was a true server of God. It is amazing what can be done here at Writing.com. We have the freedom to share our beliefs.

Age is of the mind, although I must say I am feeling it more and more. My eighties are approaching quickly, this July.

Blessing to you my friend.

I loved reading this amazing story and your poem. Your father must have been an amazing man. Using poetry for his sermons was a wonderful way to keep his listeners' attention. A to sing it, another great move.

I didn't even know that there was a World Poetry Day. I will have to watch for that. Poetry is a blessing for me and is mostly what I write.

Once again, thanks for featuring my 'Teddy' in your postings.

Blessings,

I found this a fascinating poem. I like how it has rhyme but still a break here and there which cause one to pause and think on its message. Your whole poem describes 'life' to me with challeges everyone goes through.

I only saw one slight error, a type:

The end result isn't funny. It's an insult to
he people involved, and nothing ends up
being solved.

Do you see it? It should be the instead of he...

Great read,

Seabreeze

Review of Born to Be Used  Open in new Window.

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
I believe your poem is one of the best writings I have seen that describes a broken heart, broken relationship and broken love. You have a talent. You have used your words so well, they have an excellent rhythmic sound. I was always glued to it, wanting to read more. And my heart was going out to you, wanting to comfort you.

I am so sorry life has treated your harshly. There are good people out in the world. You will find your love. Ask God to guide you. Keep your guard up but take it slow and maybe trust will come.

I am glad you came her to write; it will help your recovery. I well you newbie and hope you find it a pleasant stay here.

Review of Promptly Poetry  Open in new Window.
for entry "Ode to February" Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
March is looking a little iffy as well. I live in the Tampa area, New Port Richey to be exact. I must ask, do you or someone in your family have narcolepsy? It is unusual to mention it, especially in a poem. My late husband had it, severe case of it. Just curious?

Take care,

Hi,

I hope you do not mind if I pick your brain. I am trying to understand free verse, how to write it and understand the various parts. I have read your poem above but I am having a hard time trying to understand some of it. Is it me? Or is it that it is to flow as it does and let the reader take what they may? I did read the examples of the free verse that was given at The Poet's Cafe. I checked out a couple other free verses but I am not being inspired to write one.

I thought if I just went and read and asked questions from writers it might help. Your poem flows and has words that, to me, seem flowery (don't take it wrong - it's just me), but as in the phrase,

At times noxious sulfur froths the water, staggering the mind.


I don't know what to make of that. It sounds catchy... Obviously, by itself it does not mean anything but in the contents of the whole body and with a title of Quality Assurance Each Day, I don't get it. I am being serious and I truly want to understand free verse. If there is anything you could tell me, I surely would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Seabreeze

Review of Let Go ?  Open in new Window.
Review by Seabreeze Author IconMail Icon
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
Never been in such a situaation and to read it, to review it just for myself, is an eye opener. To make such a commitment is one thing but to carry it out is to be loyal to that person. It must be carried out to the best of one's ability.

I believe writing it down, as you have done, is the only way. Having that conversation with one's self is best written down, to go back and review, to ponder to necessary answer. What other way?

Well written,

Seabreeze

Yes, those pundits are skilled at doing nothing. Bills are over written as the bulls**t flows. That is what they are good at!

At least with Trump in, there is some action going on. Let the games begin.

Great little story,

The answer is no. When you reach my age, breathing each morning I get up is a reason to celebrate! Love your poem.

That's beautiful. Free form is a lot harder than traditional; it seems to me. But then again, rhythm is hard for me to create in poetry. I am so glad that I found your site. I have got lots to learn.
