CRITIQUE OF THE WEEK

name = Alice Bateman
Poem_author = This is for IF I WERE GOD, by Jo Ann Mann.
Points = 5 points
opinion of the poem and author =
Jo Ann, I have resisted reading this, because I felt it was a little arrogant, the title {this from a woman who signs 'God's Pen' **LAUGH**}, but I read it today and I am so very deeply touched my fingers are shaking. You made me smile, laugh, brought tears to my eyes over and over. I can't give any higher praise than this, that you fully involved me and my emotions.

Submission_author = The Spirited Debate Between Men and Women by Ken Bushnell
Points = 3 points
opinion of the submission and author = This was well written, though, to me, it didn't say anything really new. Although this piece was not on the trappings of the "package", I've always wondered if we would all relate any better if we all looked exactly alike - then we'd be forced to take a closer look at what really matters - the mind and spirit. Wonder how Hillary Clinton would have been received as a................man!

Submission_author = The Awful Smells to Me by Jessica Sayer
Points = 4 points
opinion of the submission and author = Jess, I am handicapped by not knowing the original that you are parodying... But I am struck by how much you love to point out the dark sides of life to us! I've only given you a four this time, because the last line didn't make much sense to me, probably because I don't know the original.
