What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

*Cow* You had sent me a link and invited me to read and send a review. You posted this wonderful story in your portfolio so now here I am to read and give you my thoughts.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I admire how you have set the scene so vividly for this man sitting alone in the park. At first it seems like he is watching the world go by and maybe lamenting the fact that he didn't play the part he thought he would in his own life.

But, with his vivid imagination and the ability to write, he has the power to capture his thoughts and impressions to share with generations to come. He repeats the process of summoning his muse for a good long while.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like that, in the end, he comes back to the park where he realized that he had the ability to describe and capture a moment in time for all eternity. That is my take on it anyway. I think that if someone has this ability it is a rare gift. Maybe it wasn't an active life, but a life where there are such keen and memorable observations was lived to the fullest I'd say. Most people don't notice their surroundings or even what is going on with others and they miss out on a lot of what life has to offer.

This was a character study into the life of a writer. It doesn't matter when it happens, it is a gift to be shared. Well done!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or much else. I am certainly not an editor or proof reader, heaven forbid! I am merely a reader who loves to read. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

You need all sorts of reviewers for all sorts of writers. We can't all write a dissertation every time. If I did that, I'd do about six reviews a year.
