Review of Grandpa's Back!

"Grandpa's Back!"

Joy

Having won a mystery package from "Invalid Item"

as a door prize, I am here to deliver the goods. Being sick and sleep deficient, this may take me a few days to complete, please bear with me.

Stumbling or shall I say, bumbling, through your port, I came upon this wonderful poem of rhyming couplets. I enjoyed the story it told, for don't we all have our subconcsious play tricks with our dreams? So well illustrated here in this poem are the daily bits and pieces jumbled together to create a dream of confusion, and yet there is clarity in the dream world that is sometimes missed. At times, only in dreamland, can we unravel some of the day to day mysteries that somehow slip through our fingers.

I found this to be free of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. The rhyming couplets flowed well for me with the exception of the first couplet of the fourth verse. To me this was such a stretch, and being so tired I couldn't think of a substitute, I wasn't sure what to think. I did stop each of the five times I read it, trying to sound the words out with different dialects, to see the match, but failed to do so.

Overall this is a well written poem. The clarity of the story told in this poem spoke volumes to me and sadly enough was provoking enough that I am signing off and heading to get some more sleep. Perhaps I too can unravel some things in dreamland.

Review of The Beauty In Life

"The Beauty In Life"

Harry

~I have come to appreciate the Random button on the far upperside of the screen. It has directed me to this great free-style poem which has me captured in thought.

~are there two "s" at the end of "pampas", as in the grass, for some reason, sitting as it is on the line of verse, it doesn't look right. Though in reality, perhaps I should just go to bed and review it in the morning, for it is probably as it should be.

When I read this poem, I see death, destruction and chaos waiting to happen, and all through a poet's perspective. Yet, life is so much more. The cunning of the cat or its beauty as it uses stealth to glide upon the bird...

How can we experience and appreciate the beauty of life, if we don't see the darkness of death? In seeing the darkness of death, does that mean it is a terrible thing, or is it the re-birth of life itself? I think the two compliment each other.

~Overall, this is a wonderful thought provoking poem. I enjoyed reading this over several times. It got me going off on a tangent to where I had to stop and reign myself in. A very clever and well written poem. Free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation error.

Review of One Small Word Makes All The Difference

"One Small Word Makes All The Difference"

Kenzie

Yes, once again, I was caught using that Random button up there on the left. Look what it brought to me...A great view on life!

The first thing that grabbed my attention was the big smiling face on the page, followed directly by the bolded words on the page. I was curious as to why all of the text was done in bold? This was almost as distracting as it was attracting. So, kind of half full, half empty sort of feeling when you look at it.

~starting a sentence with a conjunction, but or and, creates an incomplete sentence for the reader. This can be changed by adding a comma and joining the sentence with the previous one, since they are of the same subject. That, or drop the conjunction and open strong for the next sentence. Though the use of conjunctions to start sentences is becoming more of a norm in todays 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.

Overall, I really enjoyed this writing. It is written in the spirit of a bright outlook on life, and is willing to spread the joy and wealth of knowledge to keep this spirit alive.

Review of I'm Coming Darling Nightingale

"I'm Coming Darling Nightingale"

Paul Peters

A beautiful sonnet that is picturesque while creating a tapestry of adventure and travel. This is could be read verbatim or taken as a metaphor. Either way, it had me reading it over and over.

I was captured with the tale and could not escape. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I did have one small notation listed below.

~towards~ represents directional movement or action of time. In speech many people like to take the action words and give them an added syllable "s" to help propel them forward. Already being a word of action, this effort is unnecessary and leads to creating a slang term. This terminology then transfers into our writing. Now, if the piece of writing already contains slang terminology throughout the piece, then this would be acceptable, if not, then I would alter the word to the proper form, as I suggest with this instance. This also happens with forward, beside, inward, downward, afterwards, outward, backward, and upward, to name a few.

"Bad Lands"

Medusa

Political views on war and religion, delivered with unbias toward either side. This points out a number of factors against the war and does not take side on the religious ground. The short reading gives points on the homefront of either side, as to what is happening with the people.

~In several instances, I found that the word then was used, when it actually should have been the word than

~oddly, as I read this through a few times, I found this was reading as a rap. A political rap that is. I am no rapper, in fact, I am not really a big fan of that genre of music. However, I felt that there at times was a rhyming aspect, or almost rhyme between sentences that had this streaming together. I couldn't make out the prose of it, nor the actual poem, but I could envision it as a rap or oratorical reading.

ON HIATUS MARCH - April 2010 Short on Reviews? Need a Fresh Perspective?
#1619432 by Cobwebs-In-Space Reindeer

Cobwebs-In-Space Reindeer

This is a Read All About It review package from the "JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO FORUM CLOSED 4NOW"

donated to you from Humming Bird

This is review three of three reviews coming your way.

This is a love poem which speaks of the emotions felt for and created by another. The relationship as saw by one of the two and being described to the other. This is the scent of a rose...

Some will say 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, and though some exists, I feel it is incomplete. 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 writer 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 writer 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.

I feel this is a well written poem. Other than the punctuation, I see nothing I can comment on to help or suggest with this piece.

"Lukas and the Dragon"

JarredH

I found this featured in the port of Cobwebs-In-Space Reindeer

when I went to give this member some reviews from the "JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO FORUM CLOSED 4NOW"

. What a treat is was to find this item there. Now, of course, I still will be returning to that location to leave three reviews, but thought since you were given recognition in this port, that you deserved a review as well.

This also happens with forward, beside, inward, downward, afterwards, outward, toward, and upward, to name a few. I noticed that there is more than one of these wordes used improperly in this short story.

~His brain wheeled in fright and confusion."
no parenthesis is needed at the end of the sentence. The correct parenthesis use is already at the beginning of the sentence.

~You invaded my home. An you were about to disturb my treasures
Instead of an the word should be and, also it should be connected to the previous sentence with a comma, to be sure we aren't starting a sentence with a conjunction, as mentioned up above.

Overall this was a good tale. A twist to some dragon tales we have seen in the past. Other than the few mentioned things above, this story was read without much trouble for the reader. The sequence of events flowed well. I liked how this set itself up for future writings.

"The Snow Monster "

Emo-Dragon592

This is a short story with great potential. The finding of a snow monster adds to the Christmas excitement as the children try to open presents.

In the second sentence, the word wind is over-used.
The wind was wailing through the trees and making them creak as the wind passed through.
The wind was wailing through the trees, making them creak, as it passed through.
The red sentence is my suggestion for an alteration in strengthening the sentence.

spelling correction needed for the word scratched

Overall, I feel this is a rough draft. This should be broken into several paragraphs, if leaving the writing as it stands. If lengthening this short piece, I feel this could be a good short story, only more information will be needed.

"Find a Locked Door "

A. J. Stevens

Written for a prompt contest with limited lines, this great poem describes the finding of a locked door and the secrets behind it. Fitting to the prompt this poem has a rhythmatic flow that captures the attention.

The punctuation, spelling and grammar, all appeared to be in order. I enjoyed reading this.

"The Wind"

pixieprincess

With one exception all lines are capitalized. I personally felt that only the lines starting a new sentence or verse should be capitalized in order to flow better with the punctuation, which I found was right on the mark.

In order to show how that wind plays, instead of saying and lifts my hair show how the wind plays with lifting my hair

On a personal note, I felt this would be better represented if centered down the page.

Overall, I thought this was a superb piece. I enjoyed reading this poem over and over.

"Love, Then and Now"

Losten Lyrix

This is a lovely set of poetry written for the one you love. I looked at the second poem and tried to slice and dice it to fit another format, and like you, I couldn't find anything that would work without comprimising what you are trying to say. I think together with the two poems, this works, but if you were to separate the poems then the second one would be a bit harder for others to follow.

As a whole, the two poems are of love and unity. A before and after of the relationship is a perfect picture.

"Faded Fears"

Jade Peterson

The first sentence, with the multiple commas, seems incomplete. It reads as if three separate sentences. I would suggest changing it up to where you replace each comma with a period, or re-writing the first sentence all together.
I hear my heavy breathing as I smell the dirt and trees, seeing nothing but darkness. (Just my suggestion for the re-write)

friends, first off is mis-spelled. Secondly, being plural, should be followed by are. Here are my two suggestions for changes.
Friends are... or Friend is

This is a thought provoking piece on phobias. Though short in length, it makes up for this with content. What is it we fear? Is it truly the darkness, or what lies hidden in the shadows? It makes us take a step back and analyze what our fears truly are. Great concept.

This has a good base, but needs a few corrections in editing. Other than that, this could be elaborated upon, though that is not a necessary step.

"Circle of Life"

♥Hooves♥

Mother nature has her prizes; her tricks and surprises too. On ocassion she finds a piece of beauty that is so beyond the normal realm, that she must share with everyone the masterpiece. In this poem of rhyming clarity, the tapestry of crayola with vivid petals is a piece of love.

Having been shared with another, this poem speaks of the beauty of a nature phenomena.

The rhyme is easy to follow. It flows down the page with great clarity and ease.

This is a unique display for your portfolio. Breaking down the catagories into elements, then adding great artwork to the halls has made this a castle to explore. The alluring individual folders beg to be investigated.
I have had much fun checking out the elements. Each one has its base roots and the items broken down into each folder fit well within the parameters of each folder. Great job. Very creative and well though out.

I found this to be a very informative, yet very entertaining, article on who you are. This great dialog had me smiling and laughing as I read down the page. I found myself curious as to the RPG's in particular you mentioned. Care to name any? For they too can tell a little of your character. Oblivion? Civilization? Fallout Tactics? What type of character do you like to play?

I found this to be a piece I wouldn't mind seeing entered into some of these dialog only contests. I feel this would do rather well. Have you considered it? I am sure your wife can help you find some of these, she is very familiar with the site.

"The Baton"

Jimwithpen

This is a very beautiful poem of love and growth, aging and education. Raising a child in today's society is tough. Doing so with spiritual guidance and religion, I sometimes feel may be an even harder task. This is a poem of love as a father watches his child who has grown, under his tuteledge, and is now bringing their own child into this world. Having already raised his child under the spiritual guidance, he now must decide to have strength in the lessons he has taught and faith that those lessons will be passed to his granddaughter.

Written in rhyming couplets with a precise rhyme and great flow, this wonderful poem flows down the page with style, grace and a spiritual glow.

"Devil's Boat At The Dock"

Jimwithpen
Reading this limerick time after time, I found myself wondering, just how many will hear the bell of the boat and come running to catch the last ferry? How many will remain on shore, or inland, where their heart's desires and passions follow the way of the lord?

I did notice one small adjustment needed, country's should be countries

Though some of the rhymes are forced, said with the right dialect or accent, they will fit in with the limerick and sing down the page. This is a good spiritual poem. Great job!

"Happy Stance"

Jimwithpen

When I read this poem I think of love and religion. The faith and dedication held in the lines are strong and ring true through each line.

The rhyming scheme was not one that was hard to follow, though I wouldn't say it was as easy as it could be. I found that the use of plural rhyme vs. singular slightly distracting, though not by much. Though this works in this poem, I could easily see the few spots this happens adjusted so that it is equal to the rest of the poem. For instance, manto hands or would it flow better with hand???

Some will say 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 felt that the way the rhyming couplets fall on the page, that no punctuation is necessary.

"Snow and Rain: a night on Mt. Hood"

DaviDivinci

This is a harrowing tale of two adults who have a drive and mission. They both have a passion for climbing, and Mt. Hood is in their sites. They have prepared for this and together they begin their ascent. This is the short story of one trip and the emotions and thoughts of David .

This also happens with forward, beside, inward, downward, afterwards, outward, backward, and upward, to name a few. I noticed that there is one use with the "s" and one use without it in this piece.

How does David know that it is only 17 degrees???

The paragraph where Tami pulls up short and tells David that she likes it when he leads is very descriptive. It is a poetic paragraph which creates a tapestry of illustration for the reader to visualize. Very creative and well told.

Overall I felt this was well written. I enjoyed reading this and found myself wondering of the next trip the two made together, if there were one.

"Where Death Comes Home"

SueVN

Taking a look at how people cope in different situations, this is a heartwrenching tragedy. Stacy and Mike both have difficult times ahead as they must make the arrangements for the men returning home. How each one deals with the stress and emotion of such tasks set before them is well illustrated. This is more than just conflict though. This is a representation of a nation coming together to honor those that gave their lives to protect our way of life. This is a tale of honor and sacrifice all should read.

The first sentence after the first major paragraph, has the word Park capitalized, and I didn't see the significance of this. I think this is just an error caused by editing.

Grief seemed to have sucked oxygen from the hangar
The red bold word is missing from this sentence

This is well written. The spelling, punctuation, and grammar all seem to be in order. There were two minor issues pointed out, but neither detract from this honorable story.

"Memories of Christmas Past"

J. A. Buxton

Brief Summary:

What is it that makes up that special Christmas Morning that will forever stand out as your favorite? This short piece is about that special day which was a perfect morning. As a child, was it the toy under the tree that you had asked santa for? Or is there something else that made that memory stand out above all, this short story is one memory shared with us all.

Suggestions:

I could find nothing to suggest for this piece other than the fact that it would look good in a book of memories as a published piece.

What I liked about this piece:

To me, the fact that at such a young age, realizing that special at the time of its conception is such a treasure. Keeping that memory alive and then sharing it becomes a treasure we can all share.

Thoughts provoked:

This reminds me of my one perfect morning. It was Mother's Day, I was still in High School, and had an inkling to write my mother a poem for the special occasion. The words wouldn't come to me, so I went outside. As the sun rose over the desert and painted her palette of crayons onto the bright horizon, the words began to flow from pen to paper. I must have written four or five pages before realizing the sun was up and the poem was finished. My mother loved the poem. Though, I do not remember the poem or its name, I am sure my mother has it hidden away somewhere.

Why I rated this so:

This memory is well written, free of grammar, spelling or punctuation error, and a pleasure to read.

"Love Is Colourless"

Andrea

In reading this short story written or last edited over four years ago, I find myslef wondering that in the more modern times, and as Laura has grown, have you found the prejudice to have given way to something else? Have your parents opened their hearts and minds to receive Laura and your husband?

I can not comment too much on the writing itself. It is well written, free of grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. Therefore I left with the questions and thoughts that come up from the writing.

This is riddled with emotion and turmoil. The thick of the matter is the racism is playing a part in your life and you would like it not to. The obstacle then is getting over this hurdle. Can you get those that are so blinded to open their eyes and truly see with their hearts? I am curious as to what a follow up piece would have to tell me.

"SWEET KISSES"

SHERRI GIBSON

Brief Summary:

Made up of sets of rhyming couplets, this great poem rhymes with rhythm as it cascades down the page in a heated caress of love. This great poem had me thinking of my boyfriend and the love we both share. I was able to relate to this on a very personal level.

Suggestions:

This is one piece of perfection ready to be published nd placed in a book of poetry created by you.

What I liked about this piece:

Ther personal level of which I could so easily connect with this moved me beyond words.

Areas that I had trouble with:

Absolutely none. This is well written. The grammar, spelling and punctuation are all in order. The rhythm and rhyme sing their own tune.

"Simple Treasurers, Simple Pleasures"

Kenzie

Brief Summary:

The simple things in life are often the most treasured. This is a short memory being shared of treasured moments with family and some of the precious items found after the passing and departure of a loved one.

Suggestions:

I could find nothing to add to this piece. If I could suggest , I would like seeing this in a book of memories or family treasure book.

What I liked about this piece:

This is a piece I could relate to on so many levels that it was scary. This last year we attended a funeral for my grandfather. We had lost grandma several years prior and were waiting to have one service for the both of them. In years past we had family reunions on a regular yearly basis. As everyone grew older, these became less frequent, with less family showing each time. With grandma's alzheimer's things went quickly. Upon returning for the funeral that turned into more of a family reunion, we too were blessed with a union of memories and special momentums.

Areas that I had trouble with:

Choking back the tears from the memories this brought up. A heartwarming and sad piece all in one.

Why I rated this so:

A very good writing. Free from errors of grammar, spelling and punctuation. A piece that provoked memories to surface.
