Review of A Child  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (3.0)
Overall Impression:
Your title fits well.
Your rhymes are good.
I like the line about the space in her heart growing, it sets the
mood of your poem well

Suggestions:
Add some genres.

I think you need to clean this up a bit and focus on the flow.
One thing to help with the flow is I think you could cut some of your commas
Also read your poetry aloud to check the read/flow of your poem.

Your poem left me with some questions;
This awakening of the child/birth...is it about finding herself or does she have a child or....

Your part about the bell, kind of throws me off.

She press forward, her years not old;
try;
She presses forward her years not old;

But inside her heart, a space groes cold
try;
Inside her heart a space grows cold

You show this desolate girl very well, setting the emotion for your poem.
I like that you end this on a positive note.

Your story flows well.
Your descriptions are good through-out.

I really like your poem and how you choose to show the insignificance
of this peron in this family.
I like how you go through the family linage with the photos on the wall.
Very creative way to do this.

*Idea*MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
I was left with a couple of questions.
Who is this person and what part is she supposed to be in this family.
Maybe expand a bit more and tell/show your readers who this is.

Anyone who has an ex will identify with these words/thoughts.

My favorite lines:

Something tells me we should not throw this away
Do not throw it away just because of a single mistake

Rated: E | (4.0)
Overall Impression:
Your rating, title and genres are good.
You express well your feelings for the one you still love.

I like your last stanza and the repittion of It is still...very strong way to end this.

Suggestions:
Pictures of you in my head they won’t fade
try;

Could this feelings for you in anyway could be suppressed

Review of u-turn in love  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (3.0)
Overall Impression:

You have a great start but I think you need to expand on this.
Show us more on your feelings and more on this relationship.

Suggestions:
You have some typos and this needs a little cleaning.
Maybe try putting this in stanzas, it will make it read smoother..this feels kind of chaotic.

EX;

Review of Deadly rain  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (3.5)
Welcome to the site.
Enjoy your time here, there is lots to do!

Your rating, title and genres are good.
You could add one more genre~maybe personal.
They help to get your items exposure.

You express yourself well.
I'd like to know more about what you are writing on.
Maybe expand more on what your parent has kept from you and more
on how it makes you feel.

Line 3 is a cliche, I'd reword that or change it to make it more your own.

Keep writing,

Review of Welcome Home Mark  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (3.0)
*Flower1* Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for entering The Drop Box, my contest for newbies. "THE DROP-OFF BOX Open in new Window.

My Overall impression:
I think you have the start of a neat story.
Your storyline is creative
Your title, rating and genres are appropriate.
I think you are missing the word time in your intro.

Suggestions/Errors:
I think you need to work on the flow of your story.
Maybe combine some of your sentences to help make this less of a choppy read.
I think you need to expand some.
The guy says one thing and your main character start beating him....maybe show an argument that leads up to the fight.
You might consider a different ending or show more on the fight to indicate that it would lead to such severe consequences.
You might show your main character as having flashback from the war or something like that to justify why he would just snap on this person.
Overall, I think you need to expand on this and make it more believable for your readers.

He had been gone fro almost six months

*Wink*Thanks for entering your poem in"Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. and good luck.

I would have never thought to show this compairson between unstable love/birds migrating.
Very creative thoughts and it works really well to express your feelings.
Your title, rating and genres are good.
I like your last stanza the best.

*Idea*MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
A couple lines seem forced:
As I glanced out clear window
(Using clear just doesn't work well here...)

I'll warm up the parlor and
leave latch open on the door
(This 2nd line is a litlle awkward, maybe
I'll warm up the parlor and
leave open the front door
or something else there.....)

Walking bare footed, I stopped to eat a few.
Blackened juice dripped, from my finger tips.

I don't think you need to capitalize the 2nd A in lines 1, 2 or 3.

You should add another genre to this..maybe love/romance..it would get your poem more exposure.

A more unique title, this one is used frequently.

I think it's human nature to think about what led us where and to whom.

With your wording in places it reads a little confusing, I had to read a few lines over to get your meaning. You might add some punctuation to this to help clarify in places.

I agree with your intorduction about death being individual.
