Your item was advertised on the Newsfeed, so I thought I'd check it out.
My First Impression:
My relatable fear of monsters in the closet was when I was a lot younger. If I forgot to close the sliding door, I swore I could see the outline of Sasquatch (Bigfoot) in my closet.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I didn't know where this story was going, with the voices and whatnot...I would have been scared silly. I don't think a gun would have helped me at all. But a whole new world inside the closet was an unexpected twist. Thank you for sharing your little story.
An interesting hook for what could be a cool story.
My Favorite Part:
The caring nature of the one who brought this changeling in. They didn't care about the consequences, but chose life for this little one.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
This was written some time ago. Was it for a prompt? Was the scripture reference the prompt for the story? I found this story in the Read & Review section. I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.
I could feel the fear and then the terror of the girl. I'm not a fan of the dark, and my imagination can cause me to freak out. So this is relatable to me.
My Favorite Part:
I didn't know how this was going to turn out, and for a minute, I was going with a dark murder scene. My heart finally slowed down when I realized they were both trying to catch the last bus. Whew!!
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
A catchy little story, and I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing it. It seems you have a penchant for scary stories. Ha!
An interesting POV writing as a magic wand. Having just binged the Harry Potter series once again, it caught my attention. I found this in the Read & Review section.
My Favorite Part:
The wand seems somewhat self-deprecating. I enjoyed reading about how to make the wand more personal and more powerful depending on what purpose it would be used for.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I know this was written a while ago, and the entry was for a contest that isn't there anymore (Invalid Item). I appreciate your story, and that you shared it. I also collected the trinket, even though you thought maybe one shouldn't. I'm a crafting enthusiast, so it's now in my collection. Thank you.
To me this poem is somewhat relatable. I married young, had three children and was married 16 years before it all came crashing down. I'm going on 60, and live with two of my three children due to health issues. I'm somewhat alone, but I've since made peace with that.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I saw no grammar issues. Sometimes your writing has a rhythm to it, and sometimes it loses me a bit, but I still like the poem and the feelings it conveys to me. Thank you for sharing.
I found your writing in the Read and Review section.
My First Impression:
Short, sweet, and quite the hook.
My Favorite Part:
I liked the way you described what went on in the jazz club. The setting I could see clearly in my mind's eye. I did not see the ending that came. It kind of startled me, and gave me Twilight Zone vibes. Or maybe even X-Files vibes.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
390 words and it is complete. A surprise ending, but quite the clincher. I'm glad that I found this and enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.
An interesting lullaby. I don't know that I've read one like this.
My Favorite Part:
It encourages imagination, reaching out past what we can see with our eyes. I can picture momma singing to her little one, trying to settle down for the night.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I like this, and I'm glad to have found it in the Newsfeed. Thank you for sharing.
Hi there. I found your poem in the Read and Review section.
My First Impression:
Mother Nature can be the most fickle of beings. This year's weather is no exception. When you expect drought, rain doesn't end. When you expect balminess, then the triple digits come in to blister. I do believe Mother Nature is bi-polar and needs to be on meds. LOL.
My Favorite Part:
You describe nature as fleeting - "wait come back!" This is fitting, and is reflected in your writing.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
No suggestions, just a fun read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello. I found your writing on the Read and Review tab.
My First Impression:
I understand the "me and dad against the world". When I was younger, the sun rose and set on my dad. I was also angry that I was a girl and could not be "just like dad". I have since learned that my dad has feet of clay, but I still love him. I cannot imagine having gone through what you did growing up, but I can see how that has shaped your thinking.
My Favorite Part:
You wrote from the heart, which can be hard to do. It's easy to "gloss over" the events of the past, but you seem to be almost clinical in your thinking.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
Keep surviving. If you've given up on your father, I'm sorry for that, but it is totally understandable. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself some grace. You do deserve it. Thank you for sharing.
Hi there. I found your poem in the Read and Review section.
My First Impression:
A crying out for a "mother" to care, to nurture, to do the things that only a mother can do. The crier's own mother for whatever reason is unable to fulfil that need.
My Favorite Part:
It reminds me of King David's own cries to God; asking for help and guidance that only He could give. Everyone deserves to be held and nurtured by a mother figure.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I am glad that I got to read this poem/cry. Thank you for sharing.
Hello, and welcome to Writing.Com! I found your poem in the Read and Review Section.
My First Impression:
Very sing-song like, the words floating like little fairies in the twilight.
My Favorite Part:
Your last verse touched me. Evening, where "dreams take flight" and also "souls". I found this interesting, and added to the poem.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I like the minimal use of punctuation, and saw no grammatical errors.
I'm glad I found your poem, and I hope you find a writing home here at Writing.com. I look forward to more of your work. Thank you so much for sharing.
My First Impression: Short, sweet and to the point. I wasn't sure where this was going, but it tells a quick tale with the point of view from little Jimmy.
My Favorite Part:
The perspective is awesome and having read it, quite accurate. Poor little Jimmy, he just wants to explore. "Mean" mommy just wants him safe.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
I found this in the Read and Review Port, and I'm glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.
Hello there~ I found your offering on the Newsfeed as a featured poem.
My First Impression:
I am a gardening enthusiast, and I quite agree with the plight that your poem addresses. I've never been good at growing lettuce, but cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini can get overwhelming at times. LOL.
My Favorite Part:
Your four line stanzas all rhyme, which is no mean feat. They flow, and rather than come off "whiny", gave me a chuckle.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
Not sure how to fix the lettuce issue, but if you ever find out, let me know, please. I'm glad I'm not the only one out there.
I found this story on the read/review port. Time travel ideas give me a headache, but then again I don't subscribe to the genre. You have done a remarkable job with this story.
It wasn't too hard to follow, and there was just enough to keep me engaged. The choices your character had at the end of the story...fame/fortune or the girl...it sounds like he chose the girl...at least that's how I took it. But what do I know, right? There could be a catch that I missed, or a continuation that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for sharing this story, and I will try not to be too harsh in the future about time travel. I might still not be a fan, but at least I won't disregard it out of hand.
I saw no grammar issues or misspellings in your work. Well done.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:
I don't believe I've read this before; I know it has been awhile, but no one ever forgets "MOM". How could we? I am still blessed to have my mom still here, and I hope that I would have the same hopeful outlook as you've written about.
My Favorite Part(s)
That while you acknowledge the hurt, your tone is of hopeful reconciliation at "Day's End". Thank goodness that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones again.
Final thoughts:
You are always an inspiration to me, and an encouragement. I'm glad to count you among my friends here on WdC. Thank you for sharing your heart, as always!
Hello, and Happy WdC Anniversary! Haven't seen you in a bit.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:
I like how you share a bit of history of your town. From up and coming to trying to be relevant. I'm glad you get to do a lot of things with your time and energy, and that WdC is part of that.
My Favorite Part(s)
Your comments about renovating an older building crack me up. Challenge, indeed! I wish you the best of luck with that
Suggestions/Questions:
I hope to see you around more, or perhaps I need to pay closer attention. Thanks for sharing your heart.
It is always heart-breaking to lose a beloved pet. I reminds me of losing my Maine Coon, Montana, or Tan-Tan as I would call her.
My Favorite Part:
I loved hearing of Tigger's story, from when you found her to where Tigger now rests. I also liked hearing that you won't forget, and that one day you'll meet again at the rainbow bridge.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
Thank you for sharing your heart, as always. I'm glad that I read Tigger's and Bella's stories.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:
You've taken a lot of time with this contest, and the rules are spelled out clearly and concisely.
My Favorite Part(s)
Your encouragement to having others participate - being a winner just for entering.
Suggestions/Questions:
Maybe one year, you could update this contest for those who've not been here that long. It would be cool to enter a contest like this. Thank you for sharing and also for going the distance in working out this contst.
Wow! The beach is memorialized in such a small space. You have taken a short poem and whittled it down to meet the criteria. I have such a hard time doing that, but you definitely made it look easy.
My Favorite Part:
The push and pull of the tides, the salty sea spray. It brought back memories of the Gulf Coast when a friend and I walked the beach.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
No suggestions, but thank you for sharing both poems. I enjoyed them both.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:
What a myriad of options here for the pond theme. I could see horror/thriller, I could see fantastical and just everyday ideas.
My Favorite Part(s)
I chose the "ice cracking" and "tree hugging", as it has always been a scary thought for me - falling through ice to the murkiness below. Not quite a phobia, but definitely uncomfortable.
Final Thoughts:
I like these kinds of polls, and now I have to decide what to do with the prompts. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
After looking at your artwork, My impressions are these:
A wonderful picture of butterflies lighting on a patch of wildflowers.
My Favorite Part(s)
The butterflies are white with black outlines. They are delicate, just like your name at the top of the image. So sweet.
Suggestions/Questions:
It's been a while, if ever, that I've perused your port. I look forward to seeing your writing in the future. I am a GOT fan, so I look forward to seeing your writing in that particular folder. Thanks for sharing.
Hi again, and have a wonderful 14th WdC Anniversary month! Your anniversary is just after my oldest grandson's birthday 5/4/2011.
After reading your work, My impressions are these:
We pour so much into our pets, as they do to us. Having them leave for the Rainbow Bridge hurts so much. It is my hope that when we do get to heaven, that we will once again see our beloved pets, whole and happy; and happy to see us.
My Favorite Part(s)
Wonderful descriptors: a precious gift; friend and family forever.
Final Thoughts:
I hope you are doing well and catching up with all that you do. Blessings to you and yours.
A thoughtful set of words relating to Catholicism. Nicely done.
My Favorite Part:
Many of the words have special meaning to me, a few of them are new to me as part of practice.
My Suggestions/Final Thoughts:
The puzzle wouldn't let me finish, perhaps because Alleluia is in there twice? Not sure. But thank you for sharing part of your heart. I enjoyed it very much.
