Review of A desolate heart  
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
Overall Impression:
I like the subject of your poem.
You show this desolate girl very well, setting the emotion for your poem.
I like that you end this on a positive note.

Suggestions:
You lose me with the man and the radio.
I like that you show someone coming to save her....but that is very confusing.
Maybe expand on who this angel is.

Your rating could be 13+ instead of 18+.

I suggest a more unique title, one that will draw your readers in.

Verge of Ending
An Angel Comes

Suggestions/Errors:
There is no greater gift been given me than the gift of you

My Overall impression:
Your story flows well.
Your descriptions are good through-out.
I like the main character and you show him to be a strong/caring leader.

Suggestions/Errors:
The red eyed on leapt forward to make his own kill
typo on = one

I would add another genre to this, they help to get your story exposure.

Your title fits but is used often, maybe another one that will draw your readers in.
suggestions from your story:

*Flower2*OVERALL IMPRESSION:
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.

Overall Impression:
Your rating, title and genres are appropriate.
Anyone who has an ex will identify with these words/thoughts.

My favorite lines:
'Whispers of the past cannot help but fool my ears
Visions of you in my mind are still so clear'
Well-said!

Suggestions:
Honey, I miss you morethan words can express
(space between more and than)

Someone tell what I gotta do
(add me after tell)

Something tells me we should not throw this away
Do not throw it away just because of a single mistake
(I'd cut the repeat here;
Something tells me we should not throw this away
just because of a single mistake

Review of It's Still You  
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;
Pictures of you in my head won’t fade

Could this feelings for you in anyway could be suppressed
(cut the second could)

It is you the person who made me believe in forever
(I think this would sound and flow better without the person;
It is you who made me believe in forever)

Review of u-turn in love  
Rated: E | (3.0)
Overall Impression:
I love your title for this.
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;
It started with,he loved me and i didn't realy care for him'than it turned too

Review of Deadly rain  
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,
Tammy

Review of Welcome Home Mark  
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

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

The gray in the forum is a little hard to see you might make it bold or put it in red since it is like a warning.

Review of Black Birds  
Rated: E | (4.5)
*Wink*Thanks for entering your poem in"Invalid Item and good luck.

*Flower2*OVERALL IMPRESSION:
I really like the comparison you are showing.
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.....)

I would go through and remove some of the commas, I think it would help with the read/flow of your poem. Try reading this aloud with and without the commas and hear the difference.

Blackberries glistened, with the morning dew.
Walking bare footed, I stopped to eat a few.
Blackened juice dripped, from my finger tips.
The juice tasted, sweet upon my lips.

*Flower2*OVERALL IMPRESSION:
I like your thoughts/feelings on love.
Your last line is very strong, and makes your point very clear.

*Idea*MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
I'd like to know more on your thoughts of love; maybe expand on this.

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 like the twist that you share with your reader's leading up to
your meeting on that July night.
I think it's human nature to think about what led us where and to whom.

*Idea*MY OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS:
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.

would it have thrown the whole thing off

My Overall impression:
Your beginning and ending are both very strong. You set this up well and you end this well.

I agree with your intorduction about death being individual.

You show Irene to your readers, I felt like I knew her.This brought tears to my eyes. Not only did it remind me of my Mom's death but I am a nurse and this brought up many memories of different patients.

Suggestions/Errors:

Your title, rating and genres are appropriate.

Suggestions/Errors:
I think in places your rhymes are foced and don't really fit the poem...especially the one about going to town?

I would work on the rhymes or drop some of them and work on making your poem make more sense.

Maybe include some of this person's ways...what makes you love them and their smile.

To help with the flow you could make lines 4 and 12 two lines.

I like that you include how and where you got these from.

They are unique and affordable and I like that you can send them to more than one person at a tiume.

I've added these to my favorites.
These are unique and I always have to search for the promotion ones when it's time. Now I won't!!

Thanks.
