I have not the slightest idea what a Torchee is but I can speak to what I know. This piece took me on a little adventure and I enjoyed every line. I am learning so much in such an entertaining matter here in FanStory. Just wonderful WJ...

Always justafan,
Missy

    Hi justafan. What a delightful surprise to find a review on a piece a little further back in my portfolio, especially one in the middle of a series. I hope it made sense. I appreciate the review and am pleased to hear it took you on a little adventure. I appreciate the generous stars and gracious comments. Debi

In the long run, Evil will not triumphed over good. This is very well written with an interesting flow of words, making for a very good read. There is good imagery.

This is a great story in a poem and a well written one. I loved the chocolate background color and the rhyming and rhythm was very good. Great job.

    Thank you so much for the great review. Now that you mention it, that color does remind me of chocolate. Yum. I appreciate the encouraging comments about the writing. Debi

I'm coming in here at part four here, but I truly enjoyed the story poem. You have used so many wonderful poetic devices, and it's a smooth but powerful read. Mind blowing alliteration in "...wild winds whirled around the wizard." ... great personification in this poem ... my favorite was "clouds growling." The summary and Author's notes greatly helped me understand. A delightful read! Blessings! pat :)

Dear Debi - I stayed away from these because I am useless at meter. But couldn't pass this one up. I loved the detail, the way you bring it alive and keep me wanting to read your poetic story. This reads smoothly and powerfully for me.
I enjoyed it:)
Thanks for sharing,
Maureen

    Thank you, Maureen. I am happy you enjoyed reading the story. That is the point after all. The packaging isn't as important as the gift is it? And the form is only a way to package the story.
    Thank you for the kind comments and encouraging words. They are worth more than any stars, especially to hear you enjoyed reading it.

Great word choice and use of alliteration to describe the setting--
Clouds of magic growled
Lightning set clouds aglow.
Sparks and flames grew fiercer
Wild winds whirled around the wizard

Joe can't fool the Krells, and once again, Luke shows his powers too.
Now I'm wondering if the dragon can free himself from the net assuming it ends up over him!

    Thank you so much for the kind comments about the setting. Yes, there is Luke again hanging around that wicked Joe. It is nice to hear you are wondering about the dragon. Thank you again for a great review. I appreciate it. Debi

Hello Debi,
Well, it's about time you posted another chapter! I have been wondering when we would find out the fate of the King and Queen.
...and this is another great chapter. Loved the alliterative phrase in the first stanza, "Wild winds whirled around the wizard"...sweet! But the whole piece reads wonderfully, telling the story with solid imagery and great imagination.
Meter and rhyming spot on, well done...deserving of a six!
See you in the next one.
My best wishes, Bill

    Hi Bill,
    How kind of you to remember this series. I haven't posted since November so I wasn't sure anyone would recall Lily or the King and Queen.
    I appreciate the wonderful six stars. They brighten my day!
    Thank you for the encouraging review. It means a lot to me.
