Hello Carly,

I came across this vocal poem in your port. I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of one more year of creative association with the WDC. Have a lovely day!

This poem is very well constructed. All the resolutions are stated before telling the reader your intention of following them. This, I find is the cutting edge.

The ambiance surrounding the New Year is conveyed in appealing images.
"Drinking champagne
And trying not to get tipsy."

The scene is usual, yet in your poem it comes anew.

There is a note of boredom because this happens every year. I appreciate the candid expression.
"Now I search the faces marred by time and experience"

Yes, indeed. Life can be irritating. But your decision to realize those wonderful resolutions is elevating.
The end is done on a note of hope and enthusiasm.

The whole poem is well structured, words and line endings show the command you have on writing poems.
Imagery is sensory. I can go on.

It flows well.

Hello Walter,

Nature themes always charmed me. I came across this poem on Spring's moods in your port, and am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing another year of creative writing at the WDC. Have a memorable day!

In this rhyming verse with the rhyme scheme of ABBA, you brought out the changing faces of spring. Your description of the spring season is full of interesting images. They cover the landscape which now shines brightly with serenity, sunlight and bird song, changes into a bleak scenario with dark clouds and sudden heavy downpour. Only nature can show such swings of mood without a moment's notice.

"Torrential downpour covers all the land
As streaks of lightning dart across the sky"

Word choices seem to come to you naturally and the picture of spring you painted is at once pleasant and dark.

Kings or common men do not have the power that nature has. She is the sole queen of our environment.

It flows well.

Hello Patrice

even as a draft, you have something interesting to offer. I am reviewing this story for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on your creative association with the WDC for another year. Have a lovely day!

Coming to the contents of this personal story, I realize the importance of a partner in life. That "official" meeting you mentioned that Linda was about to have with Frank at the end of the story, speaks of something significant coming into your life.

That aside, your character portraits, all the three including yours are lucid and to true to life. I am also highly taken by the sense of humor you splashed throughout the story. That I think lent an attractive shade to life you wrote about.

I hope you will continue with this nonfiction much to the reading pleasure of many of us.

Wishing you luck,

Hello Donna,

I find this non-fiction story very interesting and decided to review it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on your association with the WDC for one more year. Have a wonderful Anniversary.

The story is well told, making sense out of the paragraphs, which are well spaced. Each of them is linked in a lucid manner. Your language and style are smooth and spontaneous.

Jeff is the center of this personal story of memories. It is built around the Thanksgiving day. You take us down the memory lane showing the important and inspiring people and events.

The past here is definitely path-showing and added to your and Jeff's strengths of mind and character.

Every person described in the story had contributed to family happiness and support. In truth, families are our strengths in moments of sadness as well as gladness.

Thanks for sharing the experiences.

Hello Beth,

I am reviewing this inspirational verse for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of another year at the WDC. Have a memorable day!

This poem has a soothing touch on the reader. We do worry for serious and less serious things in life. From what to wear to how to cope with loss of a valuable person are of concern to a lot of us. Yet, the fact of worrying for something either way is a waste of time.

"Why worry about what you cannot alter?
The built-up agony will make you falter."

I love the way the rhyming flowed through this spiritual poem, answering some of my puzzling questions.

"God will guide you, seek and you will find."

I am sure peace is going to envelop me and I will be happy till the end.

Thank you for a wonderful poem. It flows well.

Hello Dark Warrior,

Between the two static items in your port, I was attracted by this small introduction to I presume, for a big book. I am reviewing this for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on being associated with the WDC for one more year. Have a lovely day!

The Utopian concept is interesting. Unlike Thomas More's original book, you have present day issues to face at the core of the story. The four departments you have mentioned are of great relevance to today's world. Your outline is pretty arresting.

You also talked of your family: father, a military person, Mom who fell sick and gone and yourself rendered homeless.

So how do you go about the future of this story that already has a germ of the idea to develop on. I think the kid needs to be educated first to understand the problems that his country has to address and later find solutions.

I look forward for further additions. Here's wishing you good luck for the same.

Review of An angel's love ~  Open in new Window.

Hello Richard,

I came across this beautiful Shakespearean sonnet and I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing yet another year of association with the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

A traditional poem with high imagination and telling imagery.

The poet discovers love of an angel in delightful circumstances. She, obviously had a mesmerizing effect on him and took him to the shores of pure love.

Description shows images of the two deeply in love.
"She taught me love there 'neath that azure sky,"

What appeals to me is the fact that the poet is as much in love with nature as he is with the "angel." Every line is punctuated with a blissful image of nature.

"Faint sounds of crystal waters dancing by,"

Precisely following the ab ab, cd cd, ef ef, gg rhyme scheme of the traditional sonnet, this poem flows well.

The experiences you have shared here are well detailed and hold a lot of value. I understand that you value your grandfather above everything and above all others.

It must have been a hard life for you working in the store and having problems of husband and work place as well.

Mountains seem to be of capital importance for you. Indeed they are impressively described here. Only a person who loves them can portray them so well.

To a great extent you have talked about your family and the extended family as well. In my opinion our families are our strength.

You must have believed in certain statements you made like each person who died is an important part of our lives.
" Each person in your past can hold a key that will unlock the door to the future. "

I enjoyed the story and learnt a lot from your life.

Rated: E | (5.0)
The most appealing aspect of this poem is that despite the absence of the soulmate, the poet feels his presence and is glad to accept the silence between them.

The strength and support that a soulmate can extend is seen through the poem. She is always full of his memories and so his presence is felt by her.

".in your quiet moments
listen within the depths of your soul"

This is love that is beyond the world, beyond the physical. This is forever.

Poem has a sweet ambiance about it. It is written with full commitment.

Free style poem flows well.

Memories of childhood, of love and care and affection come flooding through this poem.
Each couplet shows a different aspect of the past where we pause and take delight alongside the poet. In the retrospect, the past always looks happy and more appealing than the present.

"My brother shared his boy toys 'cause he loved me somehow,"

Yet, childhood has its own pains, which go without expressing them.
"Seems my little brother David got all the good toys,"

The pain erases in the rush of other pleasures and the poet remembers only the joys of childhood.

Imagery shows a little girl trying to climb the gate to get out of the yard.
Her parents and brother busy in their own daily routine.

Rhyming couplets appeal to me with a smooth flow.

Hello Sierra,

this non fiction story is quite appealing. I am reviewing it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on the completion of one more year at the WDC. Have a wonderful day!

I find the trip to Georgia is well written, well detailed. All through the trip by road I can see the underlying tension about reaching Georgia as well as leaving Stella, North Carolina. This particular storm called Florence left a lot of destruction in its trail, I read. It was a devastating occurrence of a natural disaster that left many homeless. You have done the right thing at the right time, i.e. moving away from danger to a safe place.

The dogs suffered more than anyone else I understand. Road travel leaves us all very tired and hungry. I admire your patience and endurance. Trying to take care of the family under the threat of destruction is not an easy matter.

Every part of the trip is well shown and described. We can see the way your vehicles, three in number moved on the busy highway.

Language and style are a draw and it is my pleasure to read the whole episode and to get first hand information on Florence.

Hello Chris,

I like this poem on love and decided to review it for your WDC Account Anniversary. Congratulations on completing one more year at the WDC as a creative writer and more. Have a wonderful day!

From the start of this rhyming poem, the descriptions you have given for love fit it like so many gloves. As I could see and feel, love has several faces and phases. Each and every one of them was a time-tested value. Love is for all times no matter which generation, age or country.

If there is one thing that binds humanity, it is love and a strong feeling that we belong to one family.

"Love will pay down fits very life
It endures despite the problem or strife"

Lines and line endings appeal to me.
Imagery too is a clear mirror to your thoughts.

It flows well.

Interesting and curoius.
You described the undercurrent of tension that surrounded your lives.
I can visualize how tough it must have been, especially as kids to look over your shoulder to watch for danger. I can see it is not a free country anymore.
The boy must have realized some facts of life and saved himself from further damage.
Written in lucid and clear style, it makes as I said earlier, an interesting read.

Quite a vocal poem on love and the experience of being in it.
It sounds pretty special, when you said love brings not only passion but peace as well. Such a love is absolute bliss.

“It is peace that everybody needs”

The description of each day being a pleasant experience sounds so true. This is possible only with genuine love that surrounds you.

The rhthm adds appeal to the charming portrait of love.
It flows well with visual imagery

The pain and hurt are clearly visible. It is a personal poem written in the rhyming scheme of AA BB.
Winning hearts is like winning a crown. Love is not physical attraction. Love is not love the changes over a period of time. It is enduring and endearing.
This poem shows that the lover forgets the present looks for new sights. For some, variety is the spice of life.

"She has clearly won"
Winner takes it all.

Imagery shows the highs and lows of life, of love in particular. Title is suits the content.

It flows fine.

The difficulty of celebrating Christmas in bleak circumstances is shown here. Through imagery and rhyming, the poet paints the picfure of “rumble of thunder” and the “ sorrowful dirge.”

The storm is personified and its “face” is apprehensive.
Composed in rhyming couplets, with telling imagery, it flows well.

This is the ultimate truth. Life owes us nothing. What about hope? I think we need to seek hope and happiness in life. The way to get the best out of life.
Going against the current would be a wasteful effort. We lose everything by doing so.
The way you talked about life is impressive..

Short poem that says a lot about life.

Hi Roger,
This New Year poem is well composed. All that which could not be done might be achieved in the New Year.
“we anticipate what is yet to come”
Indeed, New Year starts like a bud and it blooms like a flower.

Imagery shows the aspirations we carry with us as another year dawns. Time to rejoice is here again.

The ab ab rhyme scheme makes the poem flow well.

This shows how dismaying the “writer’s block” is.
Poet’s regret is conveyed through a number of images like, “endless void” “candle flickers” and so on.

It is indeed strange that sometimes the pen refuses to put one sensible word on paper. Yet, the urge to write persists. I think this longing to write in itself is indicative of finding your voice again.

If I cannot write today, tomorrow I will certainly do so.

It flows well.

Thoughtful and true is how I found the poem. The common feeling about “walls” is a negative one. They cause differences and isolation.
This free-style poem is just the anti-thesis of that opinion. You showed their need for society.
It is amazing the way you brought in comparison of walls with poetry. The points are vital for growth and becoming of a society, a country.

Imagery shows them in a fresh perspective.

It flows well.

Review of What is love  Open in new Window.
Review by jaya Author IconMail Icon
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
There is no doubt that true love exists. The difference is that it cannot be defined comprehensively. Each person has his or her vision of love that is beyond the mere mundane. My view of it is to give affection and care unconditionally. There is no end to giving. There are no limits set to give and love.

If there are sacrifices to be made I am most unaware of them. My set goal would be just attend to the needs of the loved one, make him or her feel secure in your care and affection.

Without God's love there is no possibility of ever finding happiness. Love to fellow human beings is equal to love of God.

This article made me think of what love means to me.

Thank you for sharing thoughts.

The effect music is well visualized in this free style poem.
Each player does his best to bring out the immortality of music. Music to me, is a therapy for the mind, body and soul. Nothing transforms the world from misery to glory like music does.
"I float into the mist of the clouds."

Poet used imagination and emotion in equal proportion to bring out the impact that the music has on her or him.

Imagery focuses on the way the body and mind appear when waves of music surround the person.

Rated: E | (5.0)
This poem about anger is relevant to our present state of society. Anger at injustice, anger at poverty, illiteracy, corruption found everywhere, unjust way of treating the poor and many other things is seen all over the world.
As the poem indicates, it is anger that instigates the people to take to arms and violence.
"all the shooting and riots"

The chaos and confusion triggered by hot temperaments is well shown.
"The yelling, screaming, and slamming of doors,
And everytime worse than before."

Solutions to problems of this kind come from unexpected quarters. Each thinking person is a messiah to save our situation.

It flows well with great imagery.

I find this poem quite powerful and it has a healing touch.
Many times I too am surrounded by darkness and life bewilders me. There are times when I stand completely lost thinking of what happens next. Life no longer is well planned. Mind and body submerge in a limbo. Everything is in suspension. It may fall apart soon.
It is during such periods of numbness that poems like this help me fight it and come through in one sound piece.

"I feel I am stuck in a quantum leap
and fumble around in the dark to try and find my way."

I wait for the inner light to shine on my darkness and find my way out of it.

It flows well with visual and mentally appealing imagery.
