Very humorous take on cheese. Its popularity is explored by the writer in this very well narrated story of a twelve year old kid.
The story shows the love of books, what drives them to do so, what happens if it is followed too intensely.
Duncan's dad did well in gifting him a telescope, thus widening his hobbies and encouraging to move and shed some unwanted weight.

The fantasy and sci-fi element is engaging too. The aliens and the moon are too engaging for the children such as Duncan. He looks like a true to life character.

I enjoyed the narration.

Review of LA LA CADABRA

Yes, it is a fine quote on music. One should have the ability to recognize music that flows through this universe. We find it in everything around us. Apart from nature, we find rhythm in almost everything that we see, listen and do.
Those with music recognition are truly blessed. They are sensitive and perceptive.
In a poem by a great poet entitled "From Harmony to Harmony" we see the poet's way of showing how music dominates and pervades the whole universe.

Thank you for a nice quote.

Hello terry

I am reviewing for your WDC Account Anniversary. Hearty congrats on completing another year of writing and creating with the WDC.

This is a cute poem on a childhood memories of a Birthday party. All of us loved to be the center of attraction on our birthdays. Enjoy the song, cake and games that follow. With friends around and laughter that rings through the evening and night, a birthday party is always welcome by young and old alike.

"Sounds of happy laughter
And wonder fills the air"

Imagery shows the various things that take place on the evening of a Birthday celebration.

The poet is able to catch those moments in retrospect and enjoys doing so.

It flows well with perfect rhythm and word endings.

It is a spiritual poem filled with faith and love.
Life is a smooth flow for those who believe in God. They have the ability and courage to face any odds and cross them confidently.

His all encompassing love"

This free style poem makes us aware of all His deeds and the great sacrifice He made to save us from sin and unhappiness.

Review of The Shoe

A well-told story of love and hope.
The young man feels happy at meeting a beautiful green-eyed girl soon after being fired from the job. His sadness seems to have disappeared after he met the waitress who also seems affected by his presence in the restaurant her father owns. After what follows shows that love comes quietly and takes them both into its warm embrace.

The writer leaves that part when they might have met and continued being in love. open ended story.

Language and style help create situations and dialog in an impressive way.

Review of Cruise Ship

Hello,
I am here to review for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations and best wishes on this occasion.
Have a wonderful day!

This poem sounds more like a lyric that records the past love and the present chaos in the poet's life.

It is not a difficult thing to break bonds and the problem arises only when you want to patch up.

The poet shows the kind of loneliness that takes over after the divorce. It follows him wherever he goes, be it a cruise ship or an island.

Imagery is eye-catching and the flow is that of a prose-poem.

This poem shows the importance of vision. Of all the faculties, the eye is said to be the most important. It helps you sail through life even if there are problems with other features.

This free style poem describes in detail what a "degenerative vision" could be and how to grapple with a near blind situation eventually.

Perhaps there are ways to prolong vision and arrest its degeneration progress. Health foods, ayurvedic remedies might have some solutions.

Imagery is just great. It shows a person affected by near blindness and his thinking about future.
Very moving. Especially the question at the end,
"What will I do then?"

subjective poem flows well with a tone of contemplation and helpless mood.

Lovely wishes Megan. I just got this item on Random Review.

All the wishes are beautifully expressed. I understand your wish to go to England and Ireland. English roses too are special as the season is, which is always cool and invigorating.
Yes, your wish to have more of Jane Austen is workable here.

Your love for humanity and animals comes through one of your wishes. I can see your sensitive heart that feels for the wellness of all on this earth.

Your are a romantic at heart. This comes through your wish to visit Transylavania.

Your wish for a Victorian house and a flower garden express your desire to be in a spacious home with a large dining and dancing hall perhaps.
The flower garden at the back would help you contemplate on a number of material and spiritual issues.

I love the whole write up on the whole.

It makes interesting reading.
Language and style draw me in.

Reading this lento on a visit to a fair takes me to a pleasant place. The fair is colorful and tempts one with various fares. It is always exciting to go to a fair and be among those who are equally enthusiastic to buy and enjoy themselves.

The poet describes the place, the things on sale and the general atmosphere in an eye-catching manner. Color imagery is used for descriptions.

The ring may be tawdry yet remains in memory reminding you of this lovely visit to a fair.

It flows well.

Review of Standing There  
Review by jaya

This is a poem on abuse with moving pictures of loneliness and pain. The sadism of the abuser and the strong will of the abused are upfront in the poem. Cruel cold and killing hunger are the two aspects dealt at length.
"How thick the fur lines your coat,
While mine is filled with holes."

I remember one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost, Fire and Ice in which he says,
"for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

Hunger is equally a powerful weapon used for destruction and demolition of a person's psyche.
Yet, the victim is strong in her mind and spirit. She might be destroyed but not defeated, yet another favorite American theme.

Imagery is visual and appeals to mind and heart of the reader.

It flows well.

Hello Megan,
loved this newsletter for the valuable information it provides on Jane Austen and her books. Pride and Prejudice is such a universally loved novel that it is no wonder that it went through several versions of filming.
To this day I consider the teleplay wherein the characters of Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett were played by Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is beautiful and emotionally moving. Ever since I first saw it, I have been going back to it whenever I find time and mood. Jane Austen would fee happy if she had seen it.

You talked about the original copy of the book of Persuasion and the way it came to Annie. How lucky for her!

Great Newsletter, well-written and well-loved I am sure.

Thank you.

A very telling animal tale. It shows how the characters of young can be molded by their parents and neighbors. Children are like wax. We can shape them in whichever way we want. Better to show them some values and good feelings instead of teaching to be bossy and egoistic.

It is interesting to see kind hearted people like the elderly lady who took care of Bluekin. The reunion in the end is joyous and harmonious.

peaceful existence is possible among different classes of birds are people. Like birds, people too have a lot in common.

A nicely narrated story of equality and love. It reads well.

Very interesting thriller woven around the caged birds and their chained freedom.
Chloe hardly knew she was in the house of a killer although he was her uncle.

The birds must have seen the invisible presence of aunt Kay. She had poetic justice delivered through the birds which she loved to see flying rather than being caged.

The end is quite unexpected and the twist in the tale involves birds. I suspend my disbelief.

Setting and characters are well drawn.

It reads well because language and style appeal.

A nice and a meaningful poem on hope, the one thing that stayed in the Pandora box.
As you have rightly said hope is what gives us strength to fight and survive the odds. success and realization of dreams are possible with hope.

"For, it gives people strength
To do the impossible"

Imagery shows different aspects and angles of hope well shown.

It flows well.

Review of Have a Heart

I think it is rather brilliant that Mark thought of a plan to get the heart transplant for Ty. All the more reason for him to contemplate the death of an unfaithful wife who to him is the best provider of the heart.

"he counted on a leaking brake line to prevent her from making the sharp turn off the highway onto the hospital access road. She would be found quickly, her organs in good shape."

Wages of sin is death.

A well-written and planned story. Narrative style appeals despite the limited number of words.

The title is well shown in the content.
She hates them because she loves them too.
Hate and love are first cousins. They cannot sustain without the other.
It may be truly and exclusively hate that she hides effectively.

The limited number sentences explain the idiosyncrasies of each member of the family. What about her? There must be something about her that might make the others hate her too.

Language appeals. I am sure the story expands.

Hi

I am here to review for your WDC Account Anniversary.

Congratulations on completing one more year of association with the WDC.

This is a real experience, I can see. This is how a five year or six year old would feel. I actually attended such a party where the boy wouldn't come out and cut the cake. Despite the parents' many pleadings, he ran from hither to thither not wanting to face the kids of the neighborhood who were invited by the family.
A truly shy boy who hid behind the door and out in the corridor.
So what would the poor parents do?
Perhaps they should ask the little guy whether he wants a party or not.

A sensitive piece on the psychology of a small boy.(if I am not mistaken.)

Hi,
It is a well written love story with an air of romance all through.
It is a lovey marriage arranged in an unexpected manner.
Anyone can see that they are hopelessly in love with each other.

Setting and dialog add to the attraction of the tale with a difference.

Mature love is well visualized.

Language and style are a draw.

Great job;thank you for sharing it.

Deception and appearances can come in many ways. This story mirrors one of them. Tourists crazy for any exciting view are ready to pay and get the pleasure they seek.
Hal knows how to cheat and made sufficient arrangements to meet his own ambition of making money.

Prompt words are well used.
Even Himalayas are not spared to become breeding ground for greed and money.

A meaningful symbolic story about self. Many of us feel sorry about themselves like Kristal in the story. she was so full of discontent that anything and everything mocks at her inability to identify herself. To her she is a nameless nobody. The author changed this sorry state by showing that each is unto herself or himself.
""Jokes on you. I have finally accepted who I'm supposed to be, I have accepted who I'm supposed to see," spoke Kristal with pride..."

The author takes us to this destination of Kristal by many meanderings which perhaps are meant to show the confusion she created herself.
Language and style are meticulous and spontaneous.

I am not sure whether my reading is right or not. Please clarify.

Hi,

This is for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing one more year with the WDC.

This free verse on sleeplessness appeals to me because many of us suffer from this state. The brain is too active to fall asleep and you are assaulted by thoughts of various kinds.

Yet they say you can silence the mind by concentrating on the breathing. That would lull you to sleep.
That being said, your poem paints a realistic picture of what sleeplessness does to you and how.
"But I can’t sleep;
check the clock instead."

Imagery and formatting of the poem are well done.

It flows well.

Hi,
I am here reviewing for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on this nice occasion.

A love poem on the way lovers meet and unite in the night with shades of light. A very aural poem that has rhyming words following night and white and unite.
Ambiance of winter lingers throughout the poem with coldness and snow flakes and a silvery moon above.
The chill and the white moon are attractively shown.
"Silver and white and gleaming light."

The gleam and shine reflect in the lovers' eyes and expression love and passion for one another are well conveyed.

Imagery is colorful and passion and love are reflected in the winter night's beauty.

It flows well.

Hi

I am here to review for your WDC Account Anniversary.
Congratulations on completing one more year of memories with the WDC.

The story of reunion of old classmates is truly nostalgic. You recalled a few memories of how it was with some of these guys and girls in the past. Indeed we never realize that in future there would be a time to meet and see the changes wrought by the passing years in the same people.

"Where time had softened Rebecca, it had sculpted Simon."

Your language and style are in keeping with the memories of school days, days full of sweet and bitter memories. I like the way you brought in smooth transformations from one guy to another.

Time truly works wonders on people like Simon. Changes in their lives and life partners are upfront.

The fact that change is the law of life comes to fore, which is but natural.

Very lucid and interesting.

I wonder where she had gone. Memories show that she is indispensable for him.
It sounds like a prose poem with impressive imagery and emotions highlighted in each line. It is mirror that reflects your memories of her quite transparently.

Days and nights slip by like a mirage.

Hi
I am here to review for your WDC Account Anniversary!
Congratulations on completing one more year with the WDC.
Have a wonderful day!

This poem is entertaining and well composed of the king's occupations when he is awake and active. He looks dynamic with his wants and whistle blows. He rests not, nor the people who serve him. From the commoner to the queen listen to his blow and bow and obey his order.

This poem is story poem and it rolls well with well chosen words and line endings. Its rhythm and rhyme appeal to my aesthetic sense.

Imagery is all about the king's doings and the word pictures draw an interesting portrait of the king.

It flows well.
