Many thanks for reading and leaving a comment. I'm glad you liked the story/poem

Many thanks for your kind comment. I'm happy you liked the sonnets.

Shakespearean Sonnets Reviews: Title: Ad Finem - A Shakespearean Sonnet Reviewer: Nephylim Awesome. You have captured the flavour perfectly. Carpe Deum was my favourite but they were all very well written and perfect for the season Title: Bona Fide - A Shakespearean Sonnet Reviewer: DragonFire Both pieces are beautifully crafted. With both sonnets, it's the last two lines that really grab you. Excellent. Title: Carpe Diem - A Shakespearean Sonnet Reviewer: David McLeod Very poignant but with a surprise in the last two lines. Lovely way to start the day.

Shakespearean Sonnets

Carpe Diem A Shakespearean Sonnet All things must pass and time is a-flying A tale of woe. Alas, how sad a fate! Short is my life, and my love is dying My life is withered; my laments too late Thy beloved face I see and close my eyes Gone are those happy days of fair a light Thy love I lost due to mischievous lies A storm is raging; it is forev'r night All things must pass and time is a-flying Thy sweet face’s but my saddened mind’s display Night’s upon my soul; my heart

Dandelion’s hopes were deceived. But Dandelion decides to move on with his life. Reviews: Title: No Ordinary Friendship Reviewer: Chad Durans I thought that you well defined the first chapter at well. I like how you made the shoes in the dentist the strangers. How coincedental but freaky at the same time...Keep up the good writing. Title: No Ordinary Friendship Reviewer: thatboyChase I just read this. I read nothing on this site; you might know this or not. But I just stumbled upon this, clicked it. It was short and not to mention awesome. Fantastic. I felt equally confused as he did and it made me shiver the ending, I was so unsure. I went and straightened the shoes in my closet shortly after. I think I'll treat them better now. Title: No Ordinary Friendship Reviewer: Nephylim So many questions.... Title: No Ordinary Friendship Reviewer: David McLeod I would say that "No Ordinary Friendship" is "Kafkaesque," except that there is no menace, only a vague sense of something left undone, a bit of life unlived, a promise unfulfilled. Yet, beyond all that, there is also a feeling of accomplishment, of connection, and of fulfillment. An amazing collection of emotions in such a short piece.

Dandelion by Dolores Esteban 　 　　 Dandelion swept into the room. His black coat swayed with every step that he took. Everybody stopped talking. And people looked at him. Dandelion nodded cheerfully and smiled a playful smile. "I’m terribly late. I’m so sorry," he said, looking from one to the other. Neither of the party guests responded, however. They turned back to their conversations at once. Dandelion’s face hardened. His face showed a pout. Jayden Robinson finall

You pressed the buttons once more. I got the creepy feeling again. Your story is hard to understand, this is true. It is hard to understand because it is an irrational story. Rational thinking doesn't work as an approach to understand the story. You rather touch our unconscious fear of facing something we have no control of. Thus you use a powerful tool. I am certain you have the talent to write a great horror thriller. This is my sincere and honest opinion.

I thought about your poem for some time before writing my comment. It's not exactly thoughts that came to mind. I felt sad a little because winter is a dark and gloomy time. Yet, winter makes us cherish the sun and spring time. And thus it is a good time. We become more aware, humble and content, and we are more able to cherish sunny days and 'spring times'. I like your poem.

I liked your story. The ending took me entirely by surprise. A very good twist. It added a creepy touch to the story. It makes me curious to learn more of the man and his story.

I think the description of psychotic behavior was very accurate. The last sentence took me by surprise. The question remains - why has he gone insane? Good story.

I'm a big LOTR fan. I like that kind of stuff very much. I really loved your story and would like to read on. There's all in it. Power, honor, solemnity, sublimity. "I am a sword. I am a shield. I am a key." The words spoke to me. Great!

Oh, thank you, bugeye. I'm glad you liked the story.

On his way to the dentist, Gordon meets Akuma in the street. Akuma behaves strangely. But Gordon and Akuma become friends. It’s no ordinary friendship.

No Ordinary Friendship by Dolores Esteban My name is Gordon. I’m thirty years old. I work with a lawyer. I think that I’m an ordinary man. I was on my way to the dentist when my whole life turned upside down. I met him at a corner. He asked me to show him around in the city, since he had only recently arrived. I watched the traffic lights, ignoring him. But he continued talking to me in a very loud voice. He had an accent that I was not familiar with. He followed me when I crossed

Offence Against the Person Act 1828, Section 16. Ethan Lawrence was arrested. Harold Alcott and Jeffrey Chandler, lawyers, adopt the case. London, 1829. Reviews: Title: For Whatever Reasons Reviewer: Nanmander Love it, Dolores. You've done a good job. Title: For Whatever Reasons Reviewer: Clovis Very nicely written. It was a dreadful time indeed, and of course the poor man will do it again. The situation is similar to how religions reckon god has set up the world; make humans fallible, then punish them for failing. Title: For Whatever Reasons Reviewer: David McLeod First, I want to know where you found that anachronistic photo of Jaye Davidson. Second, I want to know what you are feeding your Muse that she is visiting you so often. The statement, "I’m grateful that I must not go through this on my own" is so poignant. It captures centuries of oppression and loneliness in a few words. Brilliant. And so very, very sad. It's not as sad as the story arc, however. Dolores has captured so many concepts, so many emotions, in so few words. Masterful writing. I need to cry. Title: For Whatever Reasons Revieweer: sendraguy A touching account. The seeds of our own destruction are sown within us as they sometimes say. Is our present day any better? In many ways much better, of course, but human nature remains the same. Thanks for posting. Title: For Whatever Reasons Reviewer: Nephylim So Sad, The whole feel of it is so sad. Fine writing.

Reviews: Title: Good & Evil - A Play in Four Acts Reviewer: Kavrik This is the most original work I've read on this site. Title: Good & Evil - A Play in Four Acts Reviewer: Nephylim I don't usually like to read plays but conversation with the Angel and the Demon at the beginning intrigued me. I have to admit to being very glad that I did read on. A very though provoking piece. I would love to see it performed.
