About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.*CakeP*



Hello, Joy, aka joycag!


INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW:

*Bulletg* I enjoyed reading your "On Crabapple Beach" poem every time I read it, including today. It's a stellar poem.

*Bulletg* Your writing kept me riveted and I read straight through to the end every time.



MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK:

*Bulleto* Happy Writing.Com Anniversary month! I read this "On Crabapple Beach" poem of yours sometime in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it, but didn't have time to review it right then, so I flagged it for an anniversary review (meaning I saved the link to it in a special "June" file. *Smile* ). I hope you enjoy this review as a celebration of your time here and find the review uplifting and encouraging. It is meant to be honest and respectful, and in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Bulleto* I don't remember how I originally found your poem, but I'm really glad I at least saved the link to it to read again. This poem is worthy of publication in a serious poetic journal. If that interests you, I encourage you to submit it. You wowed me, and tonight wasn't even my first read of it. That's pretty rare.

*Bulleto* I loved your poem so much. It was full of poetic devices, clever turns of phrase, emotions, and I found it beautiful and inspiring to read. Like you, I started writing at an early age and also really connect with the beach. We share these two lifelong loves. *Smile*

*Bulleto* My favorite two lines were the last two in the first stanza, but really the whole poem was fantastic and the ending stanza brought the most emotion up in me as I read it.

*Bulleto* I thought it was wonderful, and well-deserved, that you've already received fifty reviews averaging five stars for this beautiful "On Crabapple Beach" poem. I loved seeing the pretty awardicon on it too. Congratulations!

*Bulleto* Your watercolor image in the thumbnail picture was perfect for this poem. I did wonder if it was actually of Crabapple Beach (and where Crabapple beach is).

*Bulleto* I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your "On Crabapple Beach" poem.

*Bulleto* I thought the writing, nature, and romance / love genres you selected for this poem were perfectly appropriate matches for it.



IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER:
I would love to have something great to share here, but I think it's wonderful as it is. Well done! *Clap*


As with any review, please take what serves you and release or ignore what doesn't.


CONCLUSION:

*Bulletv* I truly enjoyed rereading your "On Crabapple Beach" poem this evening, and empathized with your sentiments that you expressed in it.

*Bulletv* Thank you for sharing your time, creativity, heart, experiences, and writing with the Writing.Com community!

*Bulletv* Once again, happy anniversary month! I hope the year ahead is filled with blessings and joy for you!

May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance, during your anniversary month, and always!
