So, you may or may not have noticed a 'change' in founder - this isn't really a change at all! I am still the same person ( MagicalJoey ) this is just an alternate account. I moved the group to this account's control because I needed to open up a gap for another group I joined as admin on my main account (I can only be an admin in 10 groups as a core member, three as a 'normal' member). So, that said, nothing has changed drastically at all.

This group is sadly silent, but I don't know if that means inactive. I am hoping that when I post these challenge pieces you look at them and maybe try them out. I also hope that if you get stuck or have a question that you will ask me (MagicalJoey / MagicalJosie )

Don't be afraid to participate. Try things you haven't. Give it a go. You never know what talents might emerge.

If you would like to be an admin and help teach people note MagicalJoey and we can see where things stand. This is just a case of passing along any skills or strengths you may have in critiquing pieces. So whether you are only 'good' at one thing or have many skills consider joining the team to teach whomever wishes to learn.

Encourage your friends to join. Encourage people who critique your work to join.
ONLY ONE RULE
:heart: This is a LITERATURE critique group. :heart:


Your Current Challenge Pieces:

PROSE:
Mushroom Pie“Come and get it whilst it’s hot,” a call that echoed out the back door to the branches of a near-by tree where a young girl was sitting with a book and a cat.
The cat turned to face the house and for a moment the mother could have sworn that a half-moon grin and twinkling evil-humorous eyes took over the poor tabby; just for a moment though for after a quick wink the tabby was all tabby again.
“What is it?” the young girl fluffed down her skirts and enquired.
“Mushroom pie. I went picking this morning, but you obviously got there ahead of my judging by the mushrooms in the pocket of your apron,” alarm floated in front of the girl’s eyes but she could not remember what she had to be alarmed about. “One side makes you grow taller, the other side makes you grow shorter” echoed through her brain from a nasty dream whose reach went far beyond white rabbits and tea parties.
“Alice,” for that was the young girl’s n


POETRY:
Now, This is LoveNow, This is Love

He vomited at 2 a.m. all over the dog,
But didn't want to wake me
Because 'mommy workted all day and was sweepy'…
The dog ate it, then rolled in it, then rolled on me,
But through it all he remained silent until I followed the stinking trail to his bed.
He cried while I bathed him and the dog,
Because it was 2 a.m. and his throat was all fire and razorblades,
Only he doesn't know what razors are yet so it was 'scwatchy', and,
'like when you make the cheesy worms for toast mommy'…
The dog thought we were playing,
Only he hates water so much he was crying too.
His cheeks flushed scarlet and his eyes were feverbright,
Because his temperature was 39 degrees
And he 'burns like when I hold the fwozen water mommy'…
I pace with him in my arms,
Cold compress pressed between his head and my breast,
And I make a noise that is a singhumprayersillysong;
Maybe God will hear me and maybe he won't,
But the vibration of my chest soothes a sick
