Review of In the Woods  Open in new Window.
Review by jaya Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (5.0)
I see the forest scenario with vibrant sounds and sights. The experience of standing and watching the jungle coming alive with first light is depicted with clarity and credibility.

First among the awakened are always the birds whose song heralds the dawn and provides enough inspiration to those still asleep. Everyday dawns with a cuckoo's song by my window.

Animals are the next bunch to come awake and start searching for food or water. Some of them are wild enough to drive the minor ones run helter-skelter.

"suddenly a loud snarl fills the air,
chaos reigns in the woods,"

Fear of the mighty always ruled the animal kingdom as well as that of mankind.

It is beautiful and the beauty is well expressed in various visuals.

It flows well with befitting imagery and rhythm.

Review of Theory On Love  Open in new Window.

Rated: ASR | (5.0)
It is a logical piece of writing on the concept of love. I appreciate the views expressed here despite the writer's admission of lack of experience in regard to being in love.

"In reality I am inexperienced with the aspect of love.'

Yet, the number of points raised on the topic of love show that they are very much real and logical. Love needs mutual respect and understanding besides sharing passion and closeness. Affinity and tenderness in attitude are to be shared as well.

" No matter how long I am married I will always shave when needed and will always open the door for her and pull out her seat, leave her roses on occasion"

You have shown what it means to be really in love by sensible examples.

This article has spontaneity and flows well. There are several guidelines provided for the future lovers who plan to marry.

Thank you for sharing thoughts.

That must have shocked her out of wits. What a way to put an end to a conversation you didn't like.

This answer to her question also reveals the fact that homosexuality is a concept that was neither imagined nor ever expected it to realize in future by her generation.

This could be a funny answer, but it would scandalize your mom.

Another point I noticed is the fact of obesity. Mothers are so worried if their daughters showed signs of fat around the hips or elsewhere.

"My mother would pass the potatoes, telling me I should have a smaller portion as my hips weren’t getting any smaller."

It reminds me of the Victorian age when mothers of unmarried young daughters had but a single objective i.e. to see them well settled with an eligible young man.

Issues of marrying cousins also attracted my attention.

All the topics of relevance are highlighted without disrupting the main story.

I appreciate this excellent story based on facts.

Hi,
I enjoyed this reflective prose on words and writing thereof. True, that human beings are uniquely blessed with the ability to speak, read, feel and create. Speech is everyday creation. The variety of words that flow in conversation shows the ability to create. Each of us. is a creator in a special kind of way.

We create stories unconsciously and when we feel strongly about something we put words to paper. We edit and add and the process goes on till the author is satisfied.

Without words nothing is possible and with words we can make or unmake the world, change the mental state of the people and bring radical changes in their thinking and attitudes.

No wonder, words are mightier than the sword.

Thanks for sharing this simple but thought provoking article.

Review of To Be 3  Open in new Window.
Review by jaya Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (4.5)
I heard that human beings begin to remember things of their childhood from age three onwards.
The title make me think of children of three playing on the patch of lawn while their mothers chitchat relaxing on the park benches.
Now that they are up on legs, this world seems to beckon them from all directions.

"Learning, discovering, all the day long."

With innocence reflecting in their eyes, they want to grasp everything in one go, touch, see, taste and feel the joy.

This short and sweet poem is full of images of childhood wonder and joy.
It flows well.

There is a kind of joy I hear in enunciating the fact that she is your wife. Yet, she has many hats to wear, doesn't she? such as companion, caring person and so on...

"She is a mother, lover, confidant, and friend"

The ring of pride in having a family to rely on is clear and loud. Of course, it comes with strings attached. Yet, there is no burden in sharing things.

"We both share a love that never will end."

No wonder, most men marry, including the poet.

This poem sounds like a tribute to the poet's wife. Imagery is vivid and sentiments are expressed in a controlled manner.

There surely is a twist in the end. But you have achieved the desired effect. The story narration got me interested as to know the stranger, his motto and whereabouts.

The introductory lines are well written. The details are definitely adding to the gradual build up of the events finally leading to the stranger walking in, out of the veil of night.
We start wondering about him. Who is he? What on earth is he doing in the middle of nowhere and so on.

The cold got him this far is the reason we finally step on. If it is that cold why was this narrator camping out in the open?

"The snow on the ground was ankle high. But it was cold. The river was almost frozen over,"
Not much fun camping alone in the freezing cold.

Now comes the end where we see the stranger is but the narrator. It speaks of the absolute loneliness in the plains. Just like in an empty street where I see myself coming round the corner towards me.

Language and style are truly above the ordinary.

Review of Let's touch  Open in new Window.
Review by jaya Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (4.0)
A first love poem cutely recorded.

The one she meets outside the elevator is the one she wants to be with. Wonderful!

Those few seconds of a chance meeting lead to thoughts of love.

Right place for the right people to meet I guess.

On the imaginary plane almost everything is possible.

What I like-

The way the poet lets her thoughts fly as she imagines the person of her dreams and decides to go ahead planning a sweet future.

"Let’s walk a while
Let’s talk the words
Let’s touch"

One things leads to another.
A brief but a curious poem.
It flows well.

It is a touching poem that expresses thoughts in a spontaneous manner.

You painted a picture of peace, solitariness where a person seeks solace.

The imagery is quite clear that show the sun drenched landscape where the poet finds herself alone, remembering events of the recent past.

"Listening to the Silence
Of my own mind"

Listening to the silence of one's own mind is vital to mental development. It calms the mind and lets it relax so it can work better.

It is interesting to read single word lines, which are harmonious with the rest of the poem.

It flows well.

Hi Ned!
this is truly an enchanting poem, content-wise. The form of course, is interesting.
It takes me to that place down the lane, where daisies grow. Must be a serene and solitary place.

The picture of two friends engaged in summer activities takes me to my own summer holidays in the distant past.

Even as the story is repeated as per the "task" it hasn't lost its charm. That's the specialty I find in this poem.

With vivid imagery and appealing word choices, with rhythm and rhyme intact, it flows well.

The thrill of being on rapids is well shown here. There is a feel-good message to the reader. It is not fear that the rapids ignite but it is a joy of a different level.
"Such a peaceful tranquil melody the waters deliver'

This is exactly how I felt during my recent visit to the river Ganga in India during the river festival. The cool and clean waters had me in their thrall. Unforgettable indeed:

Your imagery is vivid and the thoughts are spontaneously expressed. Rivers are great sources of providing water and their banks are the places where cultures develop and histories made.

It flows well.

Hi Schnujo!

It is a pleasure and privilege to review this flash fiction, which also sounds like nonfiction.
The blessings of internet and online studies are well highlighted in this undoubtedly credible story.

We have dozens of Edgars frequenting our society albeit with great talent and academic merits. But for their timidness and shyness, they would shine like a million stars. Along with timidness comes the inevitable stress of facing strangers. Facing unfamiliar people can downgrade their self confidence sending wrong signals to those interviewing him or her. Therefore the failure.

Calling Edgar a "coward" is taking it to an extreme. He is not shying away from meeting the challenge other than facing orals. He is made that way and no amount training could have improved his nature.

I am happy that this sad tale of Edgar ends on a justifiably happy note. Thanks to "online schooling," he is now a Diploma holder. Congratulations to Edgar!

Hi Christine,

springtime green in various patches of the garden is alluringly displayed in this rhyming verse.
Spring is here in our patch of green as well. The blades shine in the sunlight and the trees stand tall with their leaves glistening as well.

The mint and lemon are made prominent along side the jade green trees and bushes in the garden.
Their scents are intermingled producing an aroma of the healthy kind.
The green you proffer in the poem is such a soothing shade for the eye.
"But the garden beyond has deeper hues of jade."

This poem appeals to senses and the imagery is vivid and visual.

It flows well.

The experience of falling in love is expressed in an easy way.
The question of what is love is given an answer in an unassuming manner.
"We found something special in each other
So special that I would rather not have another"

Distance can only make the hearts grow fonder. "Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds". How true!

Come what may, the idea of love is found fresh and new by every generation including the present. Love is as eternal as the elements.

It flows fine.

Like most people, I see the author is secretive and is an introvert. He is not what he appears to be. All of us shut up and stay silent at some point of time, when our wishes do not come true, when people question us of your motives. We don't like it. It is perfectly understandable because it is human nature. Nobody is perfect. Yet, of what use of is our intellect, if we stay holed up in a secret cove called self, of burying oneself in self? Obviously, when we don't want to answer questions that threaten our feeling of security, we stay silent, which they say is ill-advised.

" I made it so no one can interfere and leave me alone."

An expressive confession!


Edit-
"more about you then you."
(more about you than you.")

"Playground dreams" are a joy to imagine and indulge in.
Boys and girls are kings and queens of the playground, which they rule with heartfelt joy.

"We'll swing from
the moonbeams
and ride the wild winds"

Lucky little people talk to birds and take time to look at the flowers and "breathe with the fish in the sea."

Oh, what fun indeed.

If only I were a child again, is the longing this poem awakens in me.

Children's magical world is colorfully painted and presented in this rhythmic verse.

Imagery is visual and the content appeals to me.
It flows well.

Well, this sounds like a great plan for the newly appointed candidates.
The kind of job that the author mentions is not the kind where you can work without training.
At least, three months of apprenticeship is needed.

" I don’t understand how people could start in this field (or any specialized field for that matter) with no training."

All the points you raised are worth considering and are of use once someone joins here.

The way you charted out the steps to success, makes it work with ease.

Success is possible with hard work and awareness.

Thank you for sharing.

Review of The depths  Open in new Window.
Review by jaya Author IconMail Icon

Rated: E | (4.5)
Searching for a dear friend in the deep water shows a desperate attempt to bring back the past, the reluctance to say goodbye forever.

Poet's emotions are clearly reflected in her reflections of a friend who will not come back despite a deep search.

Imagination plays on her mind and it shows her face in the water. it is a waking dream wherein the logical and conscious mind is cheated into believing what the subconscious wills.

"I blinked twice, and opened my eyes
I saw your face in the stream."

It flows well with vivid imagery and a clear imagination.

For a poet, it takes effort and feeling to express what he means. Your poem illustrates it in appropriate imagery.

“You must follow its map
of tiny bloody pricks..”

At times, poet’s feelings are akin to the soft touch and smell of rose petals and lo! he is instantly inspired. Either way, a poem is not “abracadabra”.

Comparison of a poem with a hymn shows the devotion and belief a poet experiences as he writes.

The truth about writing a poem is well shown. It flows well.
Thank you.

A son's agony of sin and his ecstasy at the feet of mother Ganges are duly described with verve and grief.

Dear Prof. Moriarty,
I loved this piece of splendid prose on the magnificence the most venerated of rivers of India and her tolerance of millions of Indians who pollute her on a daily basis.
The fact of forgiving comes naturally to a mother and a river. They forgive the sins and protect the progeny.

"Scientists are still grappling with her mysterious ability to retain dissolved oxygen."
A true miracle indeed!

I enjoyed reading through this emotional piece of prose.

Dreams seem more romantic than stark reality.
Imagination gives a cutting edge to life.

Dreams made of imagination make everything possible, even the impossible and the unattainable.

“In my dreams
I love you.”

How wonderful it would be if it happened in real life as well.
The first line draws me in.
Gets curiouser as I read on.

Nothing is unattainable in a dream.

Imagery is vivid. The flow is smooth.

Eternal sea gives rise to reflections as the poet takes a breather on the steel deck. Elements appear in different shades to different people. Expression is all about what is happening inside a person.

"The roar of wind upon my face
Like accusations in my ear.'

The ambience at sea is shown in the wind's "roar". Yes indeed, the power of wind could sway the ship in any manner.

The color of the sea under a hot sun seems to mesmerize the poet. It takes all your attention and wits with it.
Beware the witching waves!

Great imagery and vivid description lend charm to this poem.

Review of Mending Fences  Open in new Window.

Rated: E | (5.0)
It is hard work. And it is shown well as the worker concentrates on mending fences. Whether in the physical sense or the metaphorical, the title reaches out. Mending fences involves a person to spend a lot of time cutting and fixing the fence with wire or wood, whatever is needed.

"Long hours spent in weather's hand
Resting's just a token."

This poem takes me to places and I could see work in progress as the day advances. It is a great job requiring not only skill and talent but also patience and perseverance.

"From sun up to sun down'

Wagon or horseback do not matter except the completion of the job at hand.

We are told that to get a job is no easy matter. One needs put his or her likes behind it and secure the job.
It is great idea like they say, "a bird in hand is worth two (or ten) in the bush" during a phase of unemployment.

Loved the pace and language of the story poem. Style is unique too.

Hello Zeke,

Hello and how are you?

This poem is a true reflection of helplessness and aloneness in facing a problem and not able to help solving it.

"The frustration of not being able to help
Can drive one to distraction."

I am just looker-on of the unwanted things and broken ties between the two I love most. When things fall apart, we need to build the bond from the very beginning. But sometimes the beginnings are untraceable. Then comes the only solution you could think of and the one support we all fall back upon,

"One must resort to prayer,
And ask the Lord for a resolution."

You have very sensibly and appealingly shown as to how to solve a tough problem.

Word choices are superb, imagery is visual and the rhythm and rhyme are true winners.

It flows well.

The joy of listening to Him and obeying His will are clearly and heartily reiterated in this poem.
Obviously, a believer with strong faith in God, the poet has great joy in declaring her deep devotion to God Almighty.

"How precious is time spent in your Word."

Why do we believe in Him? The answer is simple. He is the only one to stand and support you in times of calamities we face in life and unsolvable other things we come across in life.

"At times, the way is not clear."

The benefit of obeying His will is enormous, the only qualification being the ability to listen to His voice, which of course, few are blessed with.

"In my missteps, I recall your precepts."

Indeed, blessed are those who are His true devotees.
