Hello Smij, how are you? I have just read your short story, " Clean Up This Mess," and thought I would leave some comments.

A bit gruesome, there has obviously been some kind of killing. At the mention of a wonderful dinner, it leaves me wondering if the victim is dinner. I shudder at the thought. However, I did enjoy the story.

One suggestion: In this line, "she said more calmly then I expected. " then should be than.

Best wishes.

Review of Writing  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hello efayedavid, how are you? Welcome to WDC, I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, "Writing," and thought I would leave some comments.

You are right, writing is a way to escape and we conjour up all kinds of imaginary things in our live or the lives of others. And sometimes there are lots of thoughts and yet we cannot seem to put them on paper.

Nice poem.

Suggestion: These lines, "It is an escape
To reality." I would have thought it should be an escape from reality rather than to it.

Best wishes.

Hello Dhammika and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, "If It Is A promise," and thought I would leave some comments.

A short but to the point poem. Promises should never be broken. I try not to use the words, "I promise," just incase I cannot, for some reason, keep it.

A good little poem with a message.

Suggestion: these lines, " If it is a ship it should reach a port
with full of glee…" Do not make sense, the word," with," should be left out. One would not say, "He reached the end with full of glee," it would be, "He reached the end full of glee."

Best wishes.

Hello Steven, how are you? Welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, " Sounds," and thought I would leave some comments.

A tragic story in verse, but I enjoyed the read. I like the way you focused on sound throughout and the rhyme and rhyme is good.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Cheri, welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here. I have just read your short story, " The Sorrow," and thought I would leave some comments.

It is difficult to write stories with a limited amount of words, but you seem to have achieved it quite effortlessly with this.

A sad story, but well written.

Best wishes.

Hello E-living, welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here. I have just read your article, "Reduce Your Food Waste," and thought I would leave some comments.


This is an interesting subject and one I feel quite passionate about. I did a talk on this as part of my English portfolio.

I made many of the points that you have made and also to give to the food banks. Also it is good to point out that the best before/sell by dates are only guidlines, it does not mean that the food is no longer edible. I think it terrible when there is so much waste and yet people are going hungry.

Suggestion: I thought the first paragraph a little long, perhaps it could be broken up in to two paragraphs and also if you space between the headings and the paragraphs.

A good article, thank you for sharing.

Hello LittleKelly and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your poem, " The love Of A Lifetime," and thought I would leave some comments.

It is nice to find a new love after suffering heartache from another.

I think most people would have felt what your first verse says:

"I've seen the love of a first love
And I've seen it turn dark
Mean words and hurtful hands
That completely scar your heart."

A good poem.

Suggestion: The rhythm of the first , third and fourth verses is very good, but then you changed to three line stanzas, they seem to take away the flow of the read. Just my opinion, but I think it would be more enjoyable to read if you had kept to four line stanzas.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello nhlanhla, how are you? I have just read your poem, " thinking the ugly truth out loud," and thought I would leave some comments.


I think there are perhaps many who feel this way.

It is funny how we do feel sorry for ourselves in this way and yet the way forward is to change what we do to make us feel like this.

Good poem and good message.

Hello Smlj, thank you for your entry, "Forgive and Forget," in the "Invalid Item

I liked this little poem and yes it is a hard thing to do to forgive.

A sad but also bitter poem, trying to forgive someone who has done them wrong.

I like the rhyme sequence, good poem.

Good luck in the contest.

Hello Hassan, thank you for your entry in the "Invalid Item .

I thought this a lovely well written poem. However, the prompt for this month's round is forgiveness. I am not sure where forgiveness fits in your poem, as it seems to be about forgotten heroes?

It is a lovely poem.

Hello Joy, I have just read your story, " Where Is My Fiancee," and thought I would leave some comments.

I think you have a good story here, I am not sure if this is part of it, or the finished peice.

However, the piece is very difficult to make sense of due to lack of punctuation, spelling mistakes and parts missing.

For example : "One summer night he sat in a drunken stooper obilivous to the fact that this woman she was about 6ft tall medium build wearing a blue jacket she had not been feeling her self lately and had not told anyone about her fiancee shooting himwelf due to lack of money."

If he was sitting drunk, then how was he shot? There is no build up to the event. Also , "This woman," if she was enaged to him then I would write that to begin with, rather than calling her, "this woman." The whole sentence needs to be broken up with commas and full stops.

It is a good idea for a story and I would be happy to read again once it is edited.

Thank you.

Review of Ellekonge

Hello again hawkmoth. I have just read your short story, " Ellekonge," and thought I would leave some comments.

I thought this story really good. I was waiting for a faerie tale ending, but the twist at the end actually made me gasp in horror. Poor little Hild.

The imagery is great, I could quite clearly see Hild and the Elvenking in my minds eye.

You are an excellent writer, in my opinion.

I see no grammatical or spelling errors.

Thank you for sharing your stories.

Review of Red Rose

Hello Jen, how are you? I have just read your little poem, " Red Rose," and thought I would leave some comments.

I love red roses too and their smell is divine. I hope your husband buys you some eventually. *Smile*

Pretty little poem, I especially liked the first verse:

A Red Rose so sweet smelling
Soft silky buds, ever flowing
Like soft, red lips easy to kiss
So desireable but once the
Wilted flower falls to the ground

A lovely description of a rose.

Best wishes.

Hello lauraowen, how are you? Welcome to WDC, I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your short piece, " love," and thought I would leave some comments.

I think it is not love that hurts but rejection. Love is a wonderful thing and can happen in a flash. Keep searching for that soulmate.

A few typos such as this line: " it is a feeling thatcan make peopledo tings that are. " Also, "I" should always be a capital letter.

Best wishes.

Hello hawkmoth and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your piece, "Sirena," and thought I would leave some comments.

This is beautiful and tragic all in one. It is almost like a dream. The sailors imagination after many months at sea.

I love the title, "Sirena."

Lovely little read and I have no suggestions for improvement.

Review of Untitled  
Review by Sanita

Hello smlj, how are you? Welcome to WDC, I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your chapter, "Untitled," and thought I would leave some comments.

First of all, I read this with some interest and would like to read more. I like stories to do with beings from other planets.

I do have a couple of suggestions: I note you use the word ,"They," to describe these beings who have captured you. Rather than writing They, with a capital T, you will find the word will stand out more by using italics.

Also if you separate your paragraphs it makes the presentation better.

Thank you for sharing.

Review of fooled again

Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello again Zanzigirl. I have just read your poem, "Fooled Again," and thought I would leave some comments.

I liked this, I like poems about leprechauns and faeries and any magical being.

One suggestion: First two lines, "I was rudely awoken one day from my nap,
by the curious sound of continuous taps."

To make the rhyming exact perhaps you could change to, "I was rudely awoken one day from my nap,
by the curious sound of a continuous tap."

Thank you.

HI Geoff, how are you? I have just read your item, " An Honest Answer," and thought I would leave some comments.

This would have driven me crazy! Lol

Some conversations really end up like that though and one party ends up becoming cross.

Very funny read.

Suggestions: I would replace all the + and - with speech marks. The presentation makes the read much more enjoyable I think.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Necrowrith and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your short story, " The Colourless Artist," and thought I would leave some comments.

Very sad little story. We do tend to feel as though we cannot bear to do the things we used to when our world crashes down. But hopefully your artist will come back to her painting one day.

Suggestions: This line, " The artist looked at the room which where once her creative place," should read, "The artist looked at the room which was once her creative place."

Also up on should be one word, and any ways, should be anyway.

Good little story.

Hello O. D. D. Cummings, how are you? I have just read your poem, " In This Day And Age," and thought I would leave some comments.


I thought this very good and a great message. I sometimes think we do forget we are human. We are so wrapped up in social networks.

Review of ladybug  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hello Jen, welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your children's poem, "Ladybug," and thought I would leave some comments.

Cute little poem, I am sure all children love ladybugs.

I am not sure where you are from, I am British and we call them lady birds. *Smile*.

Suggestions: this line :" What a small lady bug as big as a pea." it seems to contradict with the words small and big. A pea is, in comparrison to a ladybug, quite big.

Also the last line: as you have kept a rhyme sequence through out, perhaps the last line could have rhymed too. Chyildren like repetition.

Just some suggestions.

Thank you for sharing.

Review of That lost feeling  
Review by Sanita
Rated: E | (3.0)
Hello purplecrazzy and welcome to WDC. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I have just read your article, "That Lost Feeling," and thought I would leave some comments.

You are right, we will all, at some time in our lives, experience losing someone close to us and it is very difficult to comes to terms with.


However, the last paragraph seems to refer to someone living that you do not know when you will see again. Also it has on the end "UnKnown," so is this whole paragraph a quote?

I am not quite sure I understand as the first few paragraphs suggest loss and grief at the death of someone.

Best wishes.

Hello Clever_man , how are you I have just read your item, "My Pet Velociraptor," and thought I would leave some comments.

I am not sure I would like a dinosuar for a pet unless he was very small. *Smile*

You have in the first verse: "My buddy dino," which I am assuming is his name. But, then you say, Sever is his name?

Also noone, should be no one.

Cute poem.

Best wishes.
