Hi, dragonwoman Author Icon,

A nice prose text on the nights you have difficulty sleeping. I can relate.

Did you ever investigated if you have Diabetes type 2? Being thirsty in the night is one of the symptoms. Check it out.

I wake up every 1 1/2 hour during the night. I eat or drink or smoke or watch television before going back to sleep. Of course this is very unhealthy. I hope to change that soon when entering a lifestyle intervention program at the end of this month.

Thank you for this enjoyable piece of writing, and good luck sleeping.

Hi, AddledThinker Author Icon

A US federal judge ruled on Monday for the third time that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cannot bar members of Congress from making unannounced visits to ICE detention facilities.

A good thing. You just wrote this powerful poem before that. I imagine you'll be pleased. But a third time?

I think it's great that you wrote this poem as a reminder of the ICE atrocities in your country. I am from Europe and have followed this from a distance. It's unbelievable your President is behind this. But, I think he's a loose canon.

The US is in the news at the moment of Day 5 of the war against Iran. A lot of Middle East countries and Americans are in the crossfire. I hope this war will be over soon without it being dragged into an endless conflict. And that the public won't forget those afflicted by ICE in the meantime.

Thank you for this important political message, a rare thing here on WdC. I salute you for it!

Keep on writing,

Hi, TeeGateM Author Icon,

You've had a very severe case of the flu and even went to hospital for it. I am glad you are on the mend.

I've had my covid shot and a flu shot last year and didn't get it, luckily. So far I've had some periods I had Covid during the pandemic but no symptoms whatsoever. I feel blessed.

Not been able to write is the worst thing ever. I am so glad you were able to blog again recently. I will return to read more.

Review of Control your Mind

Hi, Happy Author Icon,

What a lovely short prose poem you wrote on the eve of a new war in the Middle East. I loved: "Be kind and loving communication" in an era of war, hate and turmoil in the world and among people. It's very necessary to keep repeating your message.
I was very busy with the latest war between the US and Iran, have watched and listened to the news and talk shows for two days now and was very stressed. Your beautiful and important message made me smile and reduced the stress I am feeling tremendously. Thank you for that.
I hope with your poem in mind I will go to a good sleep in a few minutes.

Keep on writing and venting good thoughts.

Review of War Fears  
Rated: E ★★★★★ | (5.0)
Hi, cheshire Author Icon,
I am reviewing your little thought of war at the morning of February 28, 2026. The US and Israel has just attacked Iran. Iran has fought back by attacking American targets in the Middle East. Another war has started.

You are one of the few people here at WdC that has written about the anxiety of facing war, and I am thanking you for that.

In my opinion we are at the beginning of WW III with all the wars, the turmoil and in my country the Netherlands at the moment a mega-hack of 10 million people, (me included). Our personal data has been compromised and put on the dark web. Terror.

I am very anxious because the future is uncertain, there are a lot of bad people and there is much hate. What will it bring?

Thank you for your contribution, keep on writing!

Review of For Nixon  
In affiliation with The Poet's Place  
Rated: E ★★★★★ | (5.0)
Hi, Just LeJenD' Author Icon,
As a dog lover and dog owner myself, I had to read and review this lovely little poem from a few years back.
I am a ESL writer so I had to look up the word 'askance' in the first line. It means: edgewise. I love to learn a new word so thank you.

The poem is simple but very good. It has a lovely rhythm and cadence. It is also very visual, I instantly see the picture of a dog with his little head in front of you. Well done.

I hope your dog is still very much alive and kicking.

For the last few days I have been binge watching on HBO an English series about a dog kennel were people and abandoned dogs were matched, The Dog House. I never watched a more lovely series about rescue dogs. If you have the chance to watch it, please do.

My dog is a stray aswell, a dog called Sprout from Portugal. He is with me for 4,5 years now and I love him to pieces. I think there is no greater love for me than the unconditional love of a dog.

Thank you for your great ode to Nixon, your dog. Keep on writing (about him).

The rules are easy to understand with a tutorial and Q and A to back things up. I love that. You make it very accessible.

The prizes are wonderfull, especially the merrit badges and awardicons are more than welcome but the rest is also good. I love prizes! They are a great incentive.

Hi, Princess Megan Rose Author Icon,

As part of the virtual blogging travel group cruising the States, I thought to review your travelogue.

You have fun entries with Peyton, your wolf, and sometimes your husband accompanying you on this trip. As a real princess, royalty for Pete's sake, you have an entourage with you. But you keep your good old self, without an attitude. I like that.

I love reading how your mind works, with short sentences and a lot of memories of what you read or watched, and what color the hotel room is. Mostly blue. *Ha*. Funny little details are important to you.

It makes your entries very readable and accessible. Love it.

Thanks for sharing, keep on reading, and enjoy the trip.

Hi, JCosmos Author Icon,

I found your piece of writing, also known as a pamphlet, via the Newsfeed. Thank you for writing it and informing the public, including myself, a European, of the dangers threatening the US from within. It's a book review!

It had to be written as a warning, as a place of contemplation, as a historic writing. There are too many overlaps with Nazi-Germany and fascist movements in general. It's scary, it's spooky, and above all, it's a reality. This is all too real.

You have spoken, and we all have been warned. Will it be enough to change things? Probably not.

But it's important and necessary to also hear this counter noise, this movement that has to find answers to the immediate threats that face the States, the World, and all of us.

I think this is a brave move. And long overdue. May the Force be With You! *Heart*

Thanks for sharing and giving the readers fuel to think things through. Ignition wanted!

Keep on writing.

Hi, Joto-Kai Author Icon,

I found this poem in your portfolio and thought to review it.

A haunting free verse bordering on mental struggle and fantasy, and death. Very powerful imagery and a good flow of words.

The central theme of this poem, as I read it, is the tension between despair and the longing for transcendence. The “splash of darkness” over “whiter snow” suggests a stark intrusion of sorrow into a once-pure or untouched state of being.

The poem follows from there.

I loved this poem because of its wonderful enclosed atmosphere. It is a world you can't escape from. At the same time, it's not bitter or gloomy. Hard to resist.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. Because of its strength, I awarded it.

Hi, oldmonty,

This is the second poem in a row of 5 that I am about to review. Thanks for pointing out your poetry on the Newsfeed.

We are friends on Facebook, so I'll know how much this poet misses the one he still loves. Getting older and being without your spouse can be deadly. But it's also a goldmine to a true and dedicated poet. As you are. I love this poem because it has such a beautiful atmosphere of wonder, dedication, and despair, but without the gloom.

And the repetition of the word BLOW is so delicate and right at it, it makes this a really fine poem. The stanzas are wonderfully chosen and make the body of this poem very strong.

A beautiful rhyme and rhythm, very musical and refined indeed.

Thanks for sharing and keep on writing.

Hi, oldmonty,

I found your poetry at your request on the Newsfeed and thought to give it a go.

A beautiful, calm, and tranquil poem (ABCB scheme) from a veteran looking at his country and the world nowadays. Fighting his own demons from a previous war (I wonder what war(s)?) and not particularly liking what he sees.

The sign of the times, captured in rhyme, I love it. There is a natural flow, a good solid rhyme, and a topic that speaks to everyone with a decent mind.

The poet transcends his worldview to make this universal. A quality only the better poet possesses.

It speaks to me anyway, and I thank you for sharing.

Keep on writing, and take care.

Hi, Naomi Author Icon,

I found this lovely little haiku poem in your portfolio and thought to review it.

Although I love the content of the poem and its title, which means With You, I am afraid it's not a HAIKU POEM. Haiku has 5-7-5 syllables in the poem. Yours has 3-6-8 in it.
Take a look at syllable counter  . It will help you with the syllables.

Perhaps you can look at your poem again?

It is a sweet poem, and it deserves the best.

Take care and write on.

Hi, Sumojo Author Icon,

I found this gem of a dialogue in the Read and Review section. I am glad I stumbled upon this lovely story. It really made me smile and made my day.

You might be categorizing it as nonsense, I think it's humor and very witty: the writer arguing with the muse and replacing her with ChatGPT. Funny.

Although I am hoping that it's not a reality, I am very ambivalent towards ChatGPT since it is a curse and a blessing for writers. I don't use it in my creative writing, but I use it as a tool to do research. Google gives answers nowadays with AI. When did that happen?

So, it seems it's a development we cannot stop, I am afraid.

I loved the way you bolded the text so it was apparent who was speaking when. I found this display to be a very appealing format. I am certainly going to copy that in my next entry for this contest. Thanks!

No errors found.

Keep on writing, and thanks for sharing.

Hi, Howl Author Icon,

I found this poem in your portfolio and decided to review it.

A self-reflective poem about the poet's struggle to help others when he himself has issues to overcome. Is it correct or valid to do so and forget his own misery?

My answer would be, it's always good to try to help others, but never forget yourself, who you are, and your own needs.

In my opinion, it's almost impossible to solve all your own issues, so that would mean you cannot be there for others. No, it can go both ways. You don't have to be better, more sane, or equipped to help; it might even be to your advantage to help others while requiring help yourself. It can give others confidence that they are not alone in this, that hey...the helper suffers the same. Makes you more human. You don't have to be perfect to help others, but you have to be honest.

I love this poem because it's an honest cry of attention to self. And pay attention to your own burden. However, continue to be there for others if possible.

The structure of the poem is another matter. At first glance, it was a prose poem, which I love. Later, I discovered you try to make it rhyme as well, and sometimes it doesn't rhyme. That made the poem a bit wobbly, as you are balancing two thoughts. Rhyme or not.

Because the message and the rhythm are so powerful, I would opt for turning this into a prose poem without the (forced) rhyme. It doesn't need rhyme.

This made me give you an awardicon because of the content and overall view of the poem, but a 4-star because it can be made better. But this is just one opinion, do with it what you like.

Thanks for sharing, keep on writing.

Review of Church Crawlin’

Hi, Christopher Roy Denton Author Icon,

I found this poem browsing through your portfolio.

Welcome back with this first of two new poems. You're back at WdC, and I am so thrilled. I followed you on Facebook for the last few years, where you were photographing beautiful places in England and beyond. Often castles and churches.

This free verse just fits right in. You, church crawling in ancient territory, fighting stone, old wood, and cobwebs.

I really enjoyed this poem. Its themes of history, contemplation, and religion are so descriptive and emotional, it touched my core.

The tone, atmosphere, pace, and the carefully chosen words all weave a beautiful picture. I just see you, literally see you, at those church sites in the English weather, which adds to the experience.

My favorite part?
Who broke the ancient statues, screens, and cross?
Who stole the lead and let in all that rain?
The world has changed and left this place behind
Except for me … I come to rest my brain.

I love it when questions are asked in poetry.

Anyway, a good reading experience! I thank you for sharing, and I hope to see you around.
Keep on writing.

Hi, L.A.Saxe Author Icon,

I found this blog on writing in the Please Review Section.

You seem to struggle with stuff that all writers struggle with in one form or another: how to stick with the idea and keep on developing it. It's hard, there are many distractions to loose interest and hop onto the next idea without fully developing the first one. Indeed, if you keep doing that, you'll never be able to finish a story or write in the first place. Of course, sometimes it's just a sign that the idea is not interesting or good enough.

It seems to me you can use some tools that keep you focused, because the lack of focus is what's bothering you probably.

Joining the different types and kinds of contests here at WdC might work for you. There is a deadline, sometimes there is a theme or subject to go with, and there is always a commitment. You need that commitment to focus and stay put.

Try joining a contest of your liking. There are plenty. They usually start at the beginning of each month, so try "Contest Clues"  [E] and "Writing Contests @ Writing.Com"  [E] and make one or two choices. Sign up and try to stick to it. Because you committed by putting your name in the forum, you might just do it. Just a thought!

Furthermore, I am a fervent blogger journaling, as are many others on this site. You can use blogging for stream-of-consciousness-type writing, which is actually quite interesting to read, or write about any topic that comes to mind. As you have noticed, you are doing quite well in that department and it keeps you writing. So, why not go with that blog? It will keep the flow going, and it will register your attempts at writing that story if you make that one of the objectives in your blog.

All in all, you CAN write but you need to focus. Good luck with that.

Btw: the subjectline and byline of your item here is not NON-E. It's just E. Look it up. You might want to change that because now people are less likely to read it.

Thanks for sharing and keep on writing.

Hi, Joseph Author Icon,

I found your free verse poem in the Read and Review section.

Gosh, already been 5 years since the pandemic broke loose all around the world and took so many lives and caused so much trouble. It seems only yesterday, and there are still a lot of people suffering from long COVID. And a lot of kids still suffer from depression because of the social isolation in those days. So, it's not over. And then there is the fear of mutations still. I had my last shot a year and a half ago.

I lost a dear friend of my stepmom. They both got the bug at the same time. The friend died, my stepmom lived.

Your poem is very good. It has that sense of urgency we all felt when it was happening. It holds you by the throat and doesn't let go. Very compelling.

It contradicts everything conspiracy theorists believe in. I think it was and still is very harmful to be in that camp. I am glad you took the pandemic seriously.

Thank you for sharing. Keep on writing.

Hi, GreenLion93 Author Icon,

I found your short story (almost prose poem?) in the Read and Review section.

But first of all, since you are still a newbie in your first year at WdC, Welcome!

I really, really liked this story. It has a soft demeanor about it that I loved, and the description of coffee making filled my nostrils with the excellent scent of freshly brewed coffee. I am a true coffee addict. So, you had me hooked from the start.

I read it almost like a prose poem, a quality I loved. Perhaps what drove me to think this was also your lack of paragraphing. At first, I thought this diminished the experience of reading your work, but after carefully reading it a second time, I found it's also its strength.

Words that come to mind are soft-spoken, lovable, dreamy, and very well written. A lovely moment frozen in time. It turned out to be a mirage, but who cares? The experience was there, the feelings were real, I loved it.

So, no errors, nothing that makes this wonderful reading experience go away. The atmosphere, the pace, and the descriptions linger on.

Thank you for sharing, and keep on writing.

Hi, WriterRick Author Icon,

I found your coming-of-age short story while browsing through the Read and Review section.

A great, well-written story about two youngsters escaping from their mundane town and searching for adventure. It seems to me that this is the start of many teenagers who want to travel and see the world, experiencing things.

Although the theme and development of the story are exciting, there are a lot of cliches in the story as well. But, as cliches go, they are often true. I didn't mind a bit.

For example, the description of the two main characters and their dialogue when trying to consider leaving.

But you managed to write a strong, fast-paced, and clear story, with a good flow and atmosphere, taking the reader by the hand in this process of escape and travel.

Although no real surprises, it was a good reading experience.

Thank you for sharing. Keep on writing and expanding your oeuvre.

Hi, WriteWithJanney Author Icon,

I stumbled upon your poem while browsing through the Read and Review Section.

First of all, Welcome to Writing.com. This is the best writing community ever, where you can learn, write, and hone your craft. Reviewing is a very important factor of this site, so I would encourage you to start doing that. You have expertise to bring into the mix. That means that for job opportunities, you have to search elsewhere; there are none here, everything is a labor of love.

As a poet, look also at "The Poet's Place "  [E] and "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~"  [E]to study the different styles of poetry if you are interested. There is a library for members, you can mingle, discuss, and do assignments. Furthermore, as an upgraded member, you can start blogging. "Blog Tab" .

Your free verse poem is a lovely love poem, with a great emphasis on holding on to your identity. It is indeed soft in tone but strong in its message. I loved that. To have such a vision on relationships means the poet is a strong character, capable of holding her own without getting cynical.

There is a good flow, pace, and rhythm.

The best line for me is: "Nothing deep- just that the sky looked like the
one we used to lie under." It created a strong image of the days you were together.

I found no errors or points to reconsider; it's a modern, coming-of-age poem with a fine atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing. Keep on writing,

Dear Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon,

This is one of the most beautiful poems in your selection, ever. I already knew this poem and commented on it as I recall, but I wanted to do so again on your Anniversary!

These lines, these words, these images took my breath away. It whispers, it flows, it is devastatingly brutal.

The tsunami of December 26, 2004. I was in Denver, Colorado, when it happened. I flew back home the day after and was glued to my television set for days.

My late mum was born in Sumatra, Medan, and the devastation and deaths, and the missing in Atjeh were mindblowing. I wanted to help out so I left for Atjeh in May to see if I could be of service putting up a shelter for kids. I was of no use, so the plan didn't work out.

But I had my catharsis moment reliving the tsunami in the ocean near my hotel. Very strong tidal waves.

Your words brought back these horrible moments of 2004/5.

In the most beautiful, but gruesome way. Thanks! *Heart*

Hi, JCosmos Author Icon, I found your poem in the Newsfeed, and since I just took an aspirin for my aching wisdom tooth I couldn't resist to review.

*Wdclogo* Overall Impressions *Wdclogo*


Your pain is my pain at the moment. My teeth are probably not as bad as yours but I feel your pain.

I have bad gums and have 4 appointments this month. One is with the dentist for an annual check-up; the other 3 are with my mouth hygienist for deep cleaning with sedation of the whole mouth.

Ouch, I am dreading them all.

On top of that, I have an aching wisdom molar that had to be taken out a year ago according to my dentist but I postponed the procedure every time. Till now, now I am in pain.

I am feeling it, especially with hot and cold drinks. Aspirin helps, so I have made another appointment for the end of January.

I liked your poem a lot. The repetition does the trick, it coincides with the repetition of the annual appointments you have.

Hi foxtale Author Icon, I found your writing at your request. Hopefully, this review will find you in good spirits. *Delight*


On Title/Subject
Funny title that grabbed my attention.

General impressions
I got two stories for the price of one! Both stories were short and sweet.

This story is also about the new puppy your daughter asked about after the old one passed away. As I know as a dog owner myself, this is always a sad period in time. But you got the new puppy after a while. I have to congratulate you on teaching the puppy those basic commands. Mine were shelter dogs and I was never quite able to teach them. Too much baggage from their previous lives, I guess. And I am not consequent in my teaching I am afraid.

But the pun lay in the last paragraph where you brought your wife her morning coffee. Funny!

Favorite Parts
The bit about the puppy and your last two lines.

Suggestions
No errors I could find. I loved reading your short story.

Final thoughts
The other story was also fun to read. So, that left me with a smile on my face. Excellent job!

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!
