This one popped up on "Read and review". I'm always surprised at what I discover that way.

I love that you showed the cold with your blue letters.

And these words resonated:

autumn ending
walking toward
clouds of winter

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your story, winklett Author IconMail Icon . I realize that it was written a number of years ago, but still my heart aches for you. Your poem showed love, fear, resilience, even perhaps some amazement at the child with which you were blessed and the fact that our Creator knew that you would be able to handle this situation.

I've spoken with a few moms who have had similar situations. My own son was almost an adult before we learned about what they called Aspergers at the time. As an adult, he chose to not have that that label attached to him, opting instead for admitting to having anxiety, lots of fears and OCD.

I love your title, and I think that many moms could embrace it.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,

Kenzie

You shared quite a creative and personal item here. Good for you. I am certain that it will speak to many.

I doubt that many people actually want to trade lives or circumstances with us. Dealing with breast cancer myself and now a small nodule in on lung is not fun. Bit I would still choose my life over my neighbor who is dealing with pancreatic cancer.

Thanks for reminding me that I still have many things for which I am thankful.

Blessings,

Kenzie

I'm a title person and I absolutely loved your title. Ramblings I understand. But being verbose did get me a job with a newspaper years ago. Letters to the editor were supposed to be under 500 words. My 800 words resulted in frequent guest columns and eventually netted me a job. I started out as the editorial assistant and ended up being the community news editor. Boy, oh boy, the young'ns just out of college were not pleased that a lady twice their age with no journalism classes had such a job.*Smile*

But enough about me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words of wisdom. They reminded me of when Paul told everyone to give thanks IN ALL THINGS, not because of them. So even in times of trial, we have reasons to rejoice.

I'm reminded of that every day now as I deal with breat cancer and now have a small nodule in one lung.

Thanks for sharing of yourself and your faith.

Blessings,

Kenzie

Good job. I admire people who can tell a complete story in so few words. And you did just that!

Although I had an inkling about where the story was headed, you still managed a surprise.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to Writing.com.

Well done. Grief is experienced differently by everyone. Sure, the stages of grief are the same for everyone, but the length of each stage and the way we experience them are quite different.

My only suggestion would be to make sure that you designate three genres for each of your works of heart. You just never know how someone will search for some reading material.

Thanks for sharing.

I hit the "Read and review " button and to my surprise, I discovered a poem that you shared 12 years ago that had no ratings. We'll have to change that.

I'm a title person, and I loved yours. We used to have two cats that sat in the kitchen window trying to lure the birds into their lair. (They didn't quite understand that the birds couldn't magically walk through the walls or the windows.)

I enjoyed reading your poem aloud, as all poetry should be read. And I enjoyed refreshing my memory about the construction of a villanelle.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,

Welcome to Writing.com. I'm glad that you joined us. I've been here 24 years myself and it has been quite the safe haven for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your love for your mother and what she means to you. It's important that we let them know. I lost my mom a number of years ago and I'm still not sure that I told her enough how special she was to me.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,

Thank you!!!! I absolutely LOVE malted milk. I also love chocolate chip and chocolate chunk cookies. I just never thought about putting malted milk powder in my chocolate chip or chunk cookies. I should have! I always ask for chocolate malt milkshakes and I use Ovalteen to make malted milk at home.

I must try these cookies!

Thanks for sharing.

Welcone yo Writing.com, amfp Author IconMail Icon . We're glad that you have joined us!

As I read your work of heart, I thought of many reasons why you could be experiencing pain and grief as you described. That's a good thing, because it makes it personal to us all.

I would suggest that you take advantage of having 3 genres to list your work in. You never know how anyone chooses reading material.

Thanks for sharing.

I so love a surprise ending. Of course he likes frigid weather! Well done.

Reading this reminded me of the one time in my life that I was stranded in a snowstorm. My luck took me to a motel with no restaurant nearby. Thankfully, my spouse and I had a cooler packed with goodies from both of our moms.

Thanks for sharing your creativity.

I enjoyed reading your poem. As I did, I could envision what you were describing and could smell the fresh cut grass.

I do have a few suggestions.

#1 You used the word hale (which means healthy). I believe that you meant hail - which means to proclaim, laud, exalt, honor, applaud.

#2 I would suggest that you always use the 3 genres allowed by the site. You never know how people will search for reading material.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, PATRICIA A. MANIACI Author IconMail Icon. Your poem reminds us of the importance of both trusting God and of obeying Him, even when you think that His response makes little sense. The Bible is full of these types of lessons. I enjoyed reading yours.

My only suggestion would be to read your poem aloud. Sometimes we can discover tiny missteps in our rhythm by doing this.

By the way, a gentleman with whom I once corresponded first shared with me the importance of reading our works aloud to seek out tiny glitches. I listened to him because he was able to support his wife and kids writing poetry and reading it aloud in coffee houses and book stores.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,.

Welcome to Writing.com. I imagine that this was some kind of test that you did to see if anyone would see what you wrote. I surely did.

When you finally do write a real test, I would suggest that you list 3 genres. You never know how someone will search and find their way to you.

I think that you left off the rest...


iiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiooooooooooo.

Again, welcome aboard.

Review of Cat  Open in new Window.

Excellent job.

I love a good haiku. I've written a few, but that was never a format that I could conquer for a contest. "Haiku on demand" just doesn't work for me. But it obviously did for you.

The prompt was a fun one that only people who have owned cats could fully understand.

Thanks for sharing.

Whew. That was one creepy story. What an imagination you have. The devil's garage sale. Yikes!

I did wonder about this sentence: Bad arguments flared up and torched off an array of hostilities.

Did you mean torched off or touched off?

Thanks for sharing.

This is beautiful, Naomi Author IconMail Icon . You have expressed quite well the importance of family and of love. Many people believe that much of the problems in our world today might have avoided if only more families remained intact and showed love for each other.

Thanks for sharing.

I love stumbling upon one of your flash fiction winning stories from many moons ago 🌝 HuntersMoon Author IconMail Icon*Smile*

I think that after 24 years here, it is safe to say that my favorite things to read are stories that tell a story in just a few words (because I can't do that!) and poetry (because I have been writing it myself for over 65 years.) Whoah. Reading what I typed there surprised me. How could it possibly be that when I sat in the backyard cherry tree it was 65 years ago? Let's see...8 years old plus 65 yesrs is 73. Yeppers. That's how long it has been.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Andrew Hinkley Author IconMail Icon . Welcome to Writing.com.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. It reminded me of basements that I have visited, as well as antique shops and used book stores. The smell of old books is one that some people love.

I do have a few suggestions, but keep in mind that they are only suggestions.


As I began moving closer,
a chill was sent down my
spine, warning my body of the unspoken unknowns.

Maybe a chill crept down my spine

After I finished lunch, the piano gravitated me back downstairs.

Maybe the piano drew me back downstairs

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your story about chickens. It's quite fitting, considering how many people now have chickens, even in urban areas. Or the suburbs.

You have a knack for dialogue with the young people in your stories. And, of course, you do well telling stories with few words.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Colorless Peace Author IconMail Icon . Welcome to Writing.com. I hope that you are finding your way around okay.

I would suggest that when you write, you take advantage of the three genres that we are allowed to use for everything we share. You just never know how someone will be searching for reading material.

I love that you were able to share a complete thought with just a few words.

But, shouldn't it be

I love this! I always love contests that make a writer stretch. Writing a form of poetry that you have never done before makes you stretch.

And you did well. I totally understand too. I once wrote, "Why write? Why breathe?"

Thanks for sharing and for teaching us about cinquains.

This is an interedting letter intoducing a Christian writing group here at Writing.com that I don't believe that I have come across in my over 20 years here. What a surprise!

I will definitely have to explore your group and your members.

Reading your work of heart was fun. I could hear the instruments and melodies in my own mind. I loved your word choices, especially your ending:

As I wept for joy
and misery
in equal measure.

I believe that I have experienced that myself many times, but I don't remember wording it that well.

Thanks for sharing.

You have explained the obsessions of gambling, smartphones and computers quite well, as well as offered aome suggestions for solutions. I personally love frequenting restaurants and friends and family where putting away your cellphone is a required.

Thanks for sharing.
