WHAT I THOUGHT: The rhythm is outstanding, and the imagery just as good. My personal favorites are the lines comparing the changes we make along with those of the seasons. The last four lines are inspiring. I agree that He will be there for us through the "winter times" just as He is through the others. Wonderful poem!

CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Sarah and the other characters are described perfectly, and the story-line superb.

Thank you for your entry in "Invalid Item" . Please keep in mind that the suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: The rhyming pattern is off in the first two sentences. "storm" and "turn" do not rhyme like the other lines in the entry. "their you stand" should be "there you stand" instead. I also think making all of the stanzas the same in length would make for a better presentation, and that using a syllable count would make for a better read. Remember, this is only my humble opinion though.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: Except for the lines mentioned above, the rhythm is super. The imagery used in the comparison of your love and the lighthouse is fantastic and uplifting. The last five stanzas are my personal favorites.
Hello R. Walter Smith! Thank you for your entry in "Invalid Item" . Keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling or other errors were spotted, and there are no suggestions to offer for improvement except to keep writing these awesome poems.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The rhyming pattern flows well, and the imagery extremely dark and good. The lead-up to his long lost queen would frighten most away with the woman clothed in black and anguished cry under a full moon. I enjoyed the poem from the first to last stanza. It almost reads like a short story.
DISCLAIMER: Please keep in mind that any suggestions made are intended to help, and not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No grammatical, spelling, or other errors were noticed. I cannot think of anything that would improve the item except considering a pattern.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: The imagery used in describing the settings you would see if released from the dark prison is awesome. I would love to find a similar place of serenity and beauty. The poem is well written, and the title appropriate.
SUGGESTIONS: None I can think of that would improve the item.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The premise and rules are relayed in a way no participant can misunderstand and easy to follow for those interested. Having participated in the activity before, I found it enjoyable. I like the way politics and religion cannot be used, for that would take away from the fun because both are serious topics. I also like the fact that entries must be no more than a 13+ rating. Most of all, I like the way it is stressed that this is an activity meant for those who want to have fun.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No errors were spotted, and there are no suggestions to offer for improving the entry.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: You did a sensational job of using this week's prompt. The imagery and emotions expressed are wonderful. The poem is uplifting and inspiring, and brought a smile to my lips. From the warm dark eyes to deep devotion, I think the poem is eighteen lines of pure enjoyment.
Hello LG back to the writing board Keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.
} ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: A comma should follow "dinner". Commas should also come after "Normally", "However", "be specific", "well", "only seven", "nine-thirty", and "all to bed". Others like these were noticed throughout the short story as well. I hope these examples have helped.
WHAT I LIKED: I like the way a simple trip to the ice cream shop stopped the girls from squabbling. I also enjoyed the way the monologue is written from the heart. It is obvious that you are family oriented and enjoy every moment spent with them. Thank you for sharing a part of your heart with us.

CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The imagery and emotions drew me into the item from the first stanza to the last. The final stanza is my personal favorite, for it relays that where there is hope and faith that the darkest of things become brighter.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No errors were spotted, and I cannot think of anything that would improve the poem.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
OVERALL OPINION: Let me begin by saying that the image before the item adds to the poem. The picture reflects one of depression and sadness.
The rhythm is perfect, and the imagery sad, yet excellent. You summed up just how devastating depression affects one. Whether it be dark thoughts or other hardships in life, despair from these things seem almost impossible to escape sometimes. The last stanza suggests a good form of release...writing your thoughts down.
Please remember that any suggestions made are intended to help, not to criticize.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: I did not see any errors, nor can I think of anything to improve the poem.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The note before the poem left me thinking the item would be dark, however, it was just the opposite. Your dreams are relayed beautifully. Some may not be easy to capture, yet worth chasing in my humble opinion. The imagery is outstanding too. It was easy picturing the rainbow, vanishing storms, passions color, and the rest of the things dreamed of. LOVED THE POEM!
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No spelling, grammatical, or other errors were noticed. There are no suggestions for improvement. The parody is great!
OVERALL OPINION: It was easy humming the words of the parody to "The Twelve Days Of Christmas". What a feast your "love" gave you, although a fattening one. I enjoyed every stanza of the poem.

*taincar1r* SUGGESTIONS: There are none I feel would improve the item.
MY FAVORITES: What I liked the most was the way a simple cup of coffee made your spirits soar. The imagery used in describing nature and your settings is awesome, and the poem is uplifting. I could not agree more that you have much to be thankful for.

ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No errors were spotted, and I have no suggestions to offer that I feel would improve the item.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The imagery and emotions are relayed well, and the title fits the poem perfectly. I thought the poem read like a short story. My heart went out to the teenager who dressed up to "dazzle" others at an event that turned out to be heartbreaking for her. You did a good job of putting yourself in the place of the youth.
TITLE: Being as the item pertains to human emotions, I think the title throws a reader off. Just a humble opinion though.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No mistakes were noticed, and the only suggestion I have to offer is that "I don't want" is used too much. Again, this is only my opinion.
CHARACTERS: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: You are right when saying most of us have felt similarly about one or more of these things at one time or another. What I liked best is the imagery used in combining nature with emotion. The last four lines are my personal favorites.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: No spelling, grammatical, or other errors were spotted, and there are no suggestions for improving the entry.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: N/A
WHAT I THOUGHT: The prompt was used well, and the title appropriate for the entry. From the first stanza to the last, the imagery is good. The blood-sucker is described well. You did a remarkable job in writing the poem. It would make an excellent story!

Hello Dr M C Gupta. Thank you for your entry in "Invalid Item" . Please keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, and in no way intended to criticize your work.
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: Only one error was noticed in the second stanza. "pure" and "shore" do not rhyme. Other than that, no mistakes were noticed and there are no suggestions for improvement.
CHARACTERS, SETTING/S, AND PLOT: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: The rhythm is great overall, and the emotions tugged at my heartstrings. The imagery is outstanding as well. A poetic masterpiece was painted when writing about the tidings of love and wind whispering it after the soldiers departure, which is why stanzas four and five are my personal favorites.
CHARACTERS AND PLOT: Carol and Thomas are described well and with realism. I liked that. I would have felt like Carol under the circumstances also, although I understand Thomas' point of view as well.
The story-line is excellent. It moved fast with no slow dragging paragraph, which always makes a story better.
WHAT I THOUGHT: My heart went out to Carol when hearing from her brother about Jerry, although Thomas wanting to spare her was touching. It may not have been Thomas' place to keep the news from her, but he did the right thing because it was Jerry's wish to protect Carol. You did a superb job of writing the story. As mentioned above, the plot is written with realism and from the heart.
SUGGESTIONS: I only have one to offer, and that is to keep writing these inspiring pieces.
MY THOUGHTS: You did a superb job of using the prompt. Like you, I do not question God. You did a magnificent job of expressing why you believe He should not be questioned. You say it best in the last two stanzas. His ways are direct and simple, and He is a loving and patient God. The poem is well written and uplifting. Thank you for sharing it with the community, Jaya.

CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE: The characters are described well, and the plot great.
OVERALL OPINION: The entry is well written, and a real tear-jerker. At least, it was to me. Imagining life without him in it was sad, but her demise literally brought tears to my eyes. The text message was touching. You did a superb job of using the prompt. The story is written with realism and from the heart. I liked that. WONDERFUL STORY!!!
Hello J. A. Buxton Keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: No errors were noticed, and there are no suggestions for improvement.
WHAT I LIKED: Having read your work before, I was surprised to find you have written a dark story. Not only is it well written, but the characters and settings are defined just perfectly in my opinion. I was drawn into the tale the moment Jake discovered the body, and Mary attempting to convince herself and the others she was not dead. Aaron was devious in every sense of the word. My heart went out to Mary. The ending sent chills up my spine. The story is great!
Hello Keep in mind that any suggestions made are meant to be helpful, not to criticize.
MECHANICS: No grammatical, spelling, or other errors were spotted.
SUGGESTIONS: None I think would improve the poem.
MY FAVORITES: The imagery is excellent, Susan. It is easy picturing the individuals dancing around the candlelit circle to summon the stag.
The poem is well written and a combination of nature and fantasy that held my interest from beginning to end. This is a poetic masterpiece!
ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS: The rhythm is off in a couple of lines. For example, "sister", "fighter", "benefits" and "beats" do not follow the rhyming pattern you began with. Still, this did not take away from the item in my opinion.
CHARACTERS: N/A
MY THOUGHTS: You did a superb job of letting readers know about the dreams you have. Written from the heart, I think the poem is fabulous. I believe everyone shares one or more of your dreams, especially the one about friendship. Thank you for sharing a part of your heart with the community. May all of your dreams be captured!
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: Commas should follow " of happiness" and "It's beautiful". There are no other suggestions to offer for improving the entry.
WHAT I LIKED: Sandra and her mother are well defined, and the plot heart-tugging, but excellent. You did such a great job of writing the story that I could feel Sandra and her mother's emotions. My heart bled for all Sandra went through, yet the last paragraph was uplifting. I could not agree more that Sandra deserved to be the beautiful bride. I commend you on a well written and heartwarming story.
Hello Destinae Keep in mind that suggestions made are meant to help, not to criticize your work in any way.
ERRORS/SUGGESTIONS: Just a humble opinion, but I think deleting "it" before "still ran" and deleting the comma that follows "still ran" would make for a better read being as "it" is already used in the beginning of this particular sentence. I also think "Sam" could be cut after "though," being as readers already know who Sara is talking to.
WHAT I LIKED: Sam's optimism about things getting better for him and his wife and the sacrifice of giving up food for his expectant mate touched me. The story is well written, and a thorough enjoyment to read. Sam and Sara are defined well, and the title perfect for the short story.
