Cool story, I like the way you used the prompt, I would like 2 birthdays in one year but not to be twice as old 😅😅

Hah! That's an interesting premise indeed.

Not sure about celebrating the birthday's twice in a year though. It's hard enough getting through one alone!
Fun read all around!

In response to "Diamonds in the Hills"

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE POEM

The poem took a look at the properties of a mountain.

WHAT I LIKED

As the poem began, I could see myself in a helicopter, flying over the mountain, making my assessments. Great way to put the reader in the moment.

STRUCTURE

This is a diamante poem. The rules involve having 7 seven lines, first and last line, just one word which is a noun, 2nd and 6th lines, 2 words which are adjectives, 3rd and 5th lines have 3 words which are verbs, 4th line has 4 words - nouns. Diamantes don't have to play hard by the rules, but they should take the shape of a diamond.

MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font and make it easier to read on WDC.

DESCRIPTIONS

The words used to describe this mountain really gave the mountain it's own look and personality. The use of the word "aiguille," I found an inspired word choice and I had to look it up for it's meaning.

PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening sets the stage for what to expect from the poem. The title, "Diamonds in the Hills," can be used for the obvious - the mountain is the diamond, but it's word "aiguille" that really fills out the description and makes the diamond take form and shape. Nice word play and expression. The poem followed the prompt and used one of the following words: mountain, beach, or forest. Good luck in the Bard's Hall Contest.

Nice comparison! I am more familiar with Wednesday, but your description of Elsa does have a similar attitude about seeking justice as Wednesday.

Good job!

A beautiful story and memorial told in a personal experience way. Thanks for sharing this and glad I found this 😁! 🎖️🇺🇸🚂🚉.
I love trains and as a kid thought I'd be a conductor on the Ny subway system.

Thanks for your story for the Bard's Hall July 2025 contest. You did a good job incorporating the photo prompt into your story. There were good emotional elements in the story that tapped into the heartstrings. The story was sweet, inspirational and ended on a hopeful note. Well done!

Excellent story you have written. As I looked at the picture, I could see the inspiration coming. What could be better than having the same birthday as our wonderful country. Truly enjoyed reading it.

Excellent and very nicely done, my dear girl!

My father's fathers, first came to America back in 1607, and we have been living and dying for our country ever since. My 8th great-grandfather, John Thomas Clark, gave his all in 1623 in an American Indian attack outside what was Jamestown.

Stained Portrait

Fadeout—line between good and evil
Drawn jagged within my heart—erased.
I wear a mask each day:
Good girl, proper, angelic.
Never an unclean word escapes.
No one guesses monstrous insanity
lurks beneath:
Fights to the death, scenes of torment,
Dreams I wake up apologizing to God for.
Torn between abhorrence and fascination
I wear conservative values
Protected behind iron bars of fastidious rules.
Who would I become
If I broke out of prison?
Bitter nausea overwhelms my attempt to answer.
Venomous spiders dangle
In unswept corners of my soul.
Nightmares illuminate what I deny.
If I am who I am in the dark,
I refuse to accept myself,
Splintered between decent and dirty
Outcast from my short-circuiting mind
bristling with electric barbed wire,
Chasing cockroaches in circles
under a bloody full moon.
Is uncleanness my identity?
Or is it my struggle, my burden,
I've been assigned to resist?
Enlightenment at tunnel's end,
Or train wreck inexorable?

30 lines, 156 words.
Written for "Rebel Poetry Contest"

Chosen Prompt: The Ballad of Lucy Jordan (written by Shel Silverstein
