Intro

"Karma"

Carrie Ruvio

Welcome to this wonderful site that many have come to know as a home away from home. There is so much to do and see around here that every day is a new found adventure. A haven for writers and readers alike, this site is the place to be.

This is a highly charged emotional poem that cascades down the page with a warning. The cause and effect demonstrated in the poem accentuate the title and through reiteration, illustrate the very subject of the poem itself.

I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors to comment upon.

Sometimes something as simple as where an item is placed upon the page can help to determine how it is interpreted. Poetry is up to the interpretation of the reader. What a poet writes, and the message a reader gets isn't always the same, especially when using metaphors. That being said, aligning a poem to the left of a page may imply unification; all is right in the world. Centering an item so that all the lines are askew, based upon the character count, can have the meaning of chaos and turmoil in life or emotion. Though keep in mind, this is just my opinion, I am but a novice when it comes to poetry and its teachings.

Something that did come to mind, was that this is written as if one verse, yet the dynamics of the poem show, there is potential for greater understanding by making these several verses.

~ First Impression:
This is a story that brought tears to my eyes. I have read it several times now and each time it choked me up. This is definitely the stuff that fairy tales are made of and great romances as well. This is not to poke fun, for I am one who is living a true fairy tale, so please know, I am not knocking it.

~

~Any editing comments:
I found this to be well written. I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors. The storyline was one that was true and filled with emotion.

~

~Overall:
To me it is so hard to say anything about this story due to the fact that it is so well written and moved me to emotional tears. I have read and re-read this many times now and have sent it to a few select others.

~ First Impression:
To me, this is as much a poem of sacrifice and accomplishment as it is about adventure and daring. Imagine the view from the top!

~

~ Format:
Is this a shape poem? The illustration the formatted words give off are of the steps or climb mentioned in the poem. Tying the two together with this visual is clever and metaphoric.

~

~Any editing comments:
I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation comments to remark upon.

~

~Description and Setting:
I felt this could be about a real physical journey, or a journey in life that perhaps was metaphoric in nature. Either way, it is well described and therapeutic.

In the last two lines of the first verse, eyes are the focus. The term, It to describe eyes appears inconsistent. I believe the terminology here should be THEY as in both of them.

"Departure from the Maelstrom - Chapter 2"

Sal Monid

Chapter two of this story has us learning about Gloria's passion of cooking. The one part of the story that was not consistent with the theme of this chapter is that there was no washing up before the cooking commenced.

Points To Ponder:
CONJUNCTIONS
Starting a sentence with a conjunction, but, or, and creates an incomplete sentence for the reader. These two words are coordinate conjunctions used to join sentences or part of sentences that have the same grammatical status. Though the use of conjunctions to start sentences is becoming more of a norm in today's writings, it is still frowned upon in many writing circles. When used with slang terminology, the use of conjunctions to start sentences is a commonality. I have now come across two main circumstances where this happens repeatedly. The first is when the writer is putting to print exactly as they speak, and the other is with addressing or speaking to or for a younger audience.

Editing Comments
~isle vs aisle...isle is the island...aisle as in supermarket aisle...

Overall a good story. Something to look forward to continue reading.

Intro

"Trapped Within The Mirror"

cleohxdeasle

A poem written with rhyming couplets, this piece on being trapped was an interesting read with an inner look of a self portrait. I thought this read as if dark and sad piece on a relationship.

Many typos were discovered in this poem in spelling. I would suggest a proofread through for other inconsistencies. In the meantime, here is a list of the words that need fixed:

~upon
~persistence
~pieces
~its
~piercing
~shielding
~masochist
~tongue
~council

I would suggest breaking this up into several verses instead of one long piece. Furthermore, sometimes something as simple as where an item is placed upon the page can help to determine how it is interpreted. Poetry is up to the interpretation of the reader. What a poet writes, and the message a reader gets isn't always the same, especially when using metaphors. That being said, aligning a poem to the left of a page may imply unification; all is right in the world. Centering an item so that all the lines are askew, based upon the character count, can have the meaning of chaos and turmoil in life or emotion. With the consistent rhyming pattern used in the couplet, I felt that the emotional aspect of this poem deserved alignment as to show the unification of spirit and emotion of the two lovers. Though keep in mind, this is just my opinion, I am but a novice when it comes to poetry and its teachings.

A very thought provoking piece on technology and where it fits within our lives. Is it, a benefit or a hindrance? This paragraph brings to question mental confusion and the ability to be creative and think for ourselves due to technology thinking for us.

Replace the comma with a period and start a new sentence with a capitalized word

"That Person - Is You!"

Tim Chiu

Rhyming couplets that have a tale to share, this rhythmic poem is a joy to read. I found multiple layers here and that added to the enjoyment. One such reading told the tale of a job that was loved as someone who works in the writing industry. Another layer revealed to me that someone was at work, but reviewing on writing.com in between work assignments. Keeping in mind that writing is to interpretation, this great piece held layers for me beyond the one.

~Written as one verse that traverses the page in a leap, I see this more as a couple of verses. I would make the first split, after the sixth line ending in bottom.

~The second verse would also contain six lines, ending with assignment for you

~The third verse could go one of two ways...
1. eight lines
2. six lines and then end the poem with the 2 line wrap-up...

~In place of bottom, change the word to tush, slang for bottom, so as to remain within the rhyming scheme.

"Witty Lines & Joker's Smile"

Revelry new writings soon

Hello my friend. It has been a while since I last made a visit to your port. Upon doing so this last week, I found this poem that spoke volumes to me. It is a poem that tributes a great legend (at least to me) in the acting arena, Heath Leger.

I didn't notice any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors to comment upon. This is well written and a pleasure to read.

Each time I read this, I pictured scenes from the movie. This was an icon gone before his time. He had scenes and characters that many will remember, but I will remember him most in this role. His portrayal of the joker, well for me, he brought the joker to life. This is a grand tribute, thank you!

"Immortality"

Jose

A rhythmic poem with an alternate rhyme, this poem cascades down the page questioning those who wish to live forever. This questions the reasons for living and what is it that is worth living forever for. A well thought out piece, this is debate provoking and a wonderful subject.

For the most part, the rhyming scheme flowed smooth. There were a few spots where there was no rhyme, not even if forced.

verse two: meet vs. beneath though the two go together well, they are not a rhyming duo.

verse eight was another hiccup with :pressed vs. death...again not a match. I would suggest looking through a thesaurus to see what you can find to go with this rhyme scheme without losing content...

Sometimes something as simple as where an item is placed upon the page can help to determine how it is interpreted. Poetry is up to the interpretation of the reader. What a poet writes, and the message a reader gets isn't always the same, especially when using metaphors. That being said, aligning a poem to the left of a page may imply unification; all is right in the world.

Overall this was a good poem that I enjoyed reading. It is thought provoking and well done other than the few comments left above.

Intro

"Innocence is Bliss?"

kiwi-warz

I think you did a good job with this free-style poem. The message comes through clearly. One thing that bothered me personally was the lack of punctuation throughout the poem. There was punctuation at the end of each verse, but I felt it was also needed in other lines as well to direct the reader, at least a comma or two.

Some will tell you that punctuation is needed in poetry. Others will argue that it is not needed and makes no difference. Still, there will be those who say it is up to the particular poet and the poem itself. Personally I feel that the way the verses flow down the page, that punctuation is necessary for this piece. Though without it, the message is still there, it just isn't as strong.

For me, I use to write poetry without any punctuation. Somewhere down the line someone gave me sound advice and it made sense to me. The punctuation, or lack thereof in a poem, is the direction of the writer, guiding the reader. The punctuation is where the author wishes the reader to take a breath; to contemplate; to pause for dramatic effect. The lack of punctuation says the same thing, "Read in one breath, whether slow, or fast, down the page". To me, punctuation is direction from the author to the reader. Use it, or don't , to your heart's desire and don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. However, if using it, be consistent throughout the piece. My personal opinion, this poem would benefit from punctuation.

Sometimes something as simple as where an item is placed upon the page can help to determine how it is interpreted. Poetry is up to the interpretation of the reader. What a poet writes, and the message a reader gets isn't always the same, especially when using metaphors. That being said, aligning a poem to the left of a page may imply unification; all is right in the world. Centering an item so that all of the lines are askew, based upon character count, can have the meaning of chaos and turmoil in life or emotion. Though keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion, I am but a novice when it comes to poetry and its teachings.

My favorite line:
There is bliss in virtue, but it tends to smolder.

Of course, the punctuation was my addition, but this is how I read it.

Overall a good poem. The emotions it evoked were strong and passionate.

Overall I feel this is a decent rough draft, but it could use some good polishing and editing. I would gladly return at a later date to re-rate and review upon changes.

To me, this is a poem of behind the scenes, the masks that we often wear. Nobody knows who we are or what we do under our masks. When out and about we can become someone totally different. How many of you take the time to get to know the real me? Am I a mime, or is this the person I truly am? These are the thoughts and questions evoked upon reading this great poem.

The rhythm and rhyme flow down the page with ease. All of the couplets shared an ease as they rolled off the tongue. Nothing was forced or awkward.

I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors to comment upon. This is well written and a joy to read.

"Meet Yoda...Superdog, Star Wars Wannabe"

Kathleen

Some wonderful pictures and anecdotes you share of your two additions to the family, I am able to relate in the same number of terms. I have Fred and Cocoa, and they are similar to Holly and Yoda...

Fred is three and the younger more vivacious one. He loves to play and knows no bounds or limits. Cocoa is the thief, the hoarder, the bully. She has to have all of the toys and attention, and doesn't like to share anything with Fred. She is ten years old and very protective of anything she feels is hers, including us. She isn't aggressive in pushing him away unless she has stolen his ball and he is sniffing to close, then she snaps at him. If she gets too close or out of hand, he puts her in her place and we usually end up cleaning up something they have knocked over, since they always seem to do this next to the living room coffee table, right in front of us.

Just as Yoda has, both of our dogs have me wrapped around their paws. Cocoa, a mix of yellow lab and ??? will wait for me when going from downstairs to the top. She knows I have an active imagination and don't like being the last one to shut the basement door or be left alone in the dark. She makes sure she is right there watching me the whole way.

Fred will snuggle, and cuddle up to you, even when you do not want him to...did I mention he talks back? He snaps his jaw shut as if he is saying something in return...especially when you are scolding him... I think he is not only part Australian Shepard/ Collie, but also shows human traits as well...they both do...

I found it a joy to read about Holly and Yoda. It gave me some insight into you the writer, and also brought on fond memories of my two four-legged children (the only children I personally have).

Overall a great short piece I enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing, this insight into this part of your life.

In looking back at the year, you have dredged up memories to share that may not have been so evident in the role they played, but now have manifested themselves so as to be no misunderstanding between then and now. A great bit of information is shared, and we the reader get to know just a small glimpse behind the writer today. Thank you for sharing.

~ First Impression:
I liked how this gets to the heart of the problem in a rhythmical way without bringing the emotion of others into the poem. This disease could effect everyone around through hurt feelings and more, this poem kept the focus on the disease itself and not the other human elements that could have been brought into play.

~

~Any editing comments:
I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors to comment upon. This was well written and a joy to read.

~

~Dialog:
The poem speaks to me of a husband, caught up with this new found disease. He ventured out for fear he will hurt someone with his words, so he stays at home. His comments around the house lead the wife to surmise that he has turned grouchy in his old age. Her solution is to send him out among the very ones he is trying to protect with his self induced isolation.

Now to ponder this a moment...this could be what happens with old age...we lose the bs meter and life begins to take on more shades of black and white with less gray. (except in the hair)

~ First Impression:
I found this to be a sad piece. The laughter died fast as each person was hurt by the brutal honesty of the disease. The poem illustrates this with great eloquence used in the verse with an alternate rhyme.

~

~ Characterization:
The voice of the poem is remorseful at hurting the one's loved.

~

~Any editing comments:

~third stanza, a comma after the word laugh

~

~Placement:
I feel that centering this poem is one of the best ways to showcase it. Doing show helps to create the illusion or set the scene for not everything is right or as it should be. By centering it the lines are all askew to showcase the metaphor. Great job!

~

~Description and Setting:
Overall this is a good poem. I enjoyed reading it. It fits the prompt very well.

"Dear Me"

donna

Some wonderful goals have been set forth. Selflessly putting others before yourself, you have chosen to make your main goal finding relief and help for your child. It is never easy for a parent to see a child suffer and your goal is to end this suffering as soon as possible. Having to battle so many hurdles to reach your goal, often coming up against hurdles and objects out of your control, you have dedicated this year to making as much progress in this area as possible.

I like that you have included and emphasized family in this year's goals. Commendable as well as remarkably influential.

I didn't notice any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors to notate.

Overall some great goals, I commend you on your progress and wish you well with your endeavors.

"Dear Me"

ChrisDaltro-Chasing Moonbeams

Persevere. Stand up be tall and proud. This letter speaks volumes on emotional trappings and limitations we allow others to pigeonhole us with. Christina, this letter to yourself is an eye opener and one that shows you have found an inner strength you have, but need to tap into in order to fulfill yourself.

Many contests are listed here for venues you wish to search out in order to submit your work. I would suggest going back through and listing the item link so as to have easier referencing, that or bookmarking them.

I didn't notice any spelling, punctuation or grammar errors. This is well written and a good use of the prompt.

I commend you for seeing the trees from the forest and for your continued writing. Fulfill your destiny of word and continue with your dreams of writing. You seem to find fulfillment with it, so why stop.

"Dear Me"

Jordan Richelle

Some very detailed and emotionally trying times have lead to goals of self discovery and perseverance. I commend you on writing goals of such a personal nature.

Goals consisting of physical, mental and writing nature, they are all backed by substantial reasoning and steps to enlist your help in completing them.

I didn't notice any spelling, punctuation or grammar errors. This is well written and a good use of the prompt.

"Dear Me '11"

Zureili

This is the year of achievements as you set forth to accomplish many goals, through smaller steps. Having always been distracted by life and smaller sidesteps in the past, this year you have set some baby steps to help you achieve the greater goal.

The one goal I didn't understand was the wearing of the corset. I didn't see the point or what the result would be of wearing it for 500 hours.

The spelling, punctuation and grammar all appear to be in order. These are some well outlined goals and I agree and am similarly trying to implement several of them myself, such as the water intake and the lessening of soda.

Overall some great goals. I am curious, with three months in the year now gone, how are you doing? Are you still on track?

"What To Do With A Basketball That's Flat"

Daizy May

Up and out the door in fifteen minutes, I couldn't resist a quick check on things. Then I got a wild hair to visit your port. As I sit here typing, the minutes are clicking by that will determine whether or not I get that latte...

I loved this rhythmical poem it had me smiling and smiling as I could picture each use of the basketball. Not only have you created a great children's poem, but you also have challenged everyone to recycle...find new uses for old items...waste not, re-use...

I didn't notice any grammar, spelling or punctuation errors.

This is well written and worthy of five stars...just enough time left for that lattte...ttfn coffee here I come

"Dear Me, Myself and I"

JACE

A unique approach to the contest, I half expected the three voices to be me, myself, and I as so many others have done. Instead I got to be the fly on the wall listening in on the conversation between three different case colors

I loved this.

We share some of the same goals, though I have yet to put a deadline on some of my own. We both belong to that great poetry group taking and learning a new poetry format each week. Where I had only thought to expand the lessons into a book, you have declared the goal so.

Overall I didn't notice any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors. This is well written and an asset to itself.

"Dear Me"

Grin 'n Bear It!

An interesting approach to the new year, setting goals, by net setting anything specifically. Though that isn't quite correct now is it? The goal set here is to treat yourself as if you are a unique individual worthy of much more than you give yourself credit. Remember we are all our worst critic.

This is well lined out, simple and sincere. The spelling, grammar, and punctuation all appear to be in order.

With two months almost into the year, how are you coming along with this goal?
