Recent Reviews for Ashiff Jivraj


The Stars In Her Eyes (Poetry) - 11/25/2021 9:10:12 AM
Your poem appears to be a metaphor for the innocence of children as seen in the brightness of their eyes… Like they gathered in the stars. Cool. Ron

Reflections - Ah! Ah...choo! (Poetry) - 2/9/2016 12:56:27 PM
From just a moment, and all the life that dares carry. Simple images talk till they must dance away. This poem brought back many lost dances.

Love Begins (Poetry) - 10/27/2015 9:19:05 AM
But sometimes tough love is the best. Virtuosos are often made from tough mentors' hard work in steering them in the right direction. Ron

Let me be the first to compliment you on your fine poem. So well-expressed images and the theme runs dark and deep. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in such a beautiful manner. John

Reality - Vacation Paradox (Poetry) - 10/3/2015 9:31:09 AM
I always arose early and stayed up late while on vacation. But that was when I was young and traveled light. Now it takes much planning, a lot of garbage, and much rest before and while being there, to be able to enjoy. I thought you were going to talk about the wind, the sun burn, the flies and mosquitoes, and dehydration that is sure to hit you if you stay on the beach too long. Ron

Reality - Vacation Paradox (Poetry) - 10/2/2015 12:41:25 PM
Thank God for vacations, eh Ashiff! Always, Deborah

Reality - Vacation Paradox (Poetry) - 10/2/2015 11:22:48 AM
Get your much need rest, and calm your nerves before you get out there and be teenage cool.

Reality - Vacation Paradox (Poetry) - 10/2/2015 8:54:14 AM
there it is the rigors of travel to the vacation, and rest neededd before it can start.

Reality - Vacation Paradox (Poetry) - 10/2/2015 8:48:33 AM
Yep you have to relax before you begin to enjoy the vacation.

Reflections - Ah! Ah...choo! (Poetry) - 9/30/2015 8:39:10 AM
NICE!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Reflections - Ah! Ah...choo! (Poetry) - 9/30/2015 8:15:49 AM
Excellent, Ashiff! Always, Deborah

Reflections - Ah! Ah...choo! (Poetry) - 9/30/2015 6:52:07 AM
Whether this is a real life experience or not, it certainly is a hoot! I really enjoyed the wordplay and the fatal implications of the sneeze reflex. Ron

Chocolate Kisses (Poetry) - 9/28/2015 9:43:57 AM
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Chocolate Kisses (Poetry) - 9/22/2015 7:48:59 AM
I love chocolate kisses and your poem. Both are quite sweet. Ron

Reality - Angry Planet (Poetry) - 9/21/2015 2:52:15 AM
I wish everyone would read this. So simple and to the point. Love your style. L

Reflections - Should Have Known Better (Poetry) - 9/20/2015 2:43:48 PM
First and last stanza sum up the rat race.

Reflections - Should Have Known Better (Poetry) - 9/20/2015 6:38:51 AM
Also the golden rule,"do unto others as you would have them do on to you." Ron

Reflections - Should Have Known Better (Poetry) - 9/19/2015 5:20:11 PM
The old adage comes to mind here . . . What goes around, comes around."

Reflections - Should Have Known Better (Poetry) - 9/19/2015 5:17:15 PM
This one so reminds me of one person I know from work whom everyone hates. Promotions are good to have, but one should never forget who had helped you to get there. If not, when you fall, it's going to be a long fall and no one will be there to catch you when you fall. A nice poem with a great message! Sandie

Reflections - Should Have Known Better (Poetry) - 9/19/2015 3:58:10 PM
"Promotions I got Respect really not" There is hope, Ashiff! Writing like this will soon bring you respect!

Reflections - Cellophane Dreams (Poetry) - 9/19/2015 11:26:04 AM
You left me with reminders of my youth. Things didn't turn out anywhere near what I thought in those heady high school daze. That last line leaves me wondering about those, "darkened Dimples." Ron

Reflections - Cellophane Dreams (Poetry) - 9/18/2015 5:39:17 PM
I had some dreams alright, but not when I was a teenager. I lived for the day, the hell with tomorrow. In my early adulthood, I had some dreams, which were dashed and torn asunder by the hell I was living. I'm old now, the only dream I have is will I awake for tomorrow

Reflections - Our History (Poetry) - 9/18/2015 11:21:14 AM
I am a grandfather (grandpa) of 9 children from one family of an adopted son, so I could relate very well to this charming poem. "Your eyes have seen history" packs a punch. Good stuff. John

Reflections - It's In Those Eyes (Poetry) - 9/18/2015 11:18:34 AM
You have used the device of repetition here to good effect. I too have used some repetition when I think it might work or the theme warrants it. In your poem, the repetition, rather than being in any tedious, actually highlights more effectively the other points you are making. Interesting poem. I'm glad I tracked it down. John

Reflections - It's In Those Eyes (Poetry) - 9/18/2015 8:26:11 AM
It is said that "eyes are the windows of the soul." Eyes can indeed communicate a great deal. Thank you for sharing, Ashiff. Love and peace, Regis

Reality - Angry Planet (Poetry) - 9/18/2015 7:56:32 AM
That's the problem, people will not stop poking an drilling the world. They keep taking things out from underneath the earth's surface. There are now so many sinkholes and earthquakes because of the results from the human's greed. Sad, but true! Sandie

Reality - Welcome to Africa! (Poetry) - 9/9/2015 4:22:34 AM
Doesn't sound much like tourist class. Quite visual! Audial and nasal,too.

Reality - Welcome to Africa! (Poetry) - 9/8/2015 7:49:17 AM
A lot of experiences expressed in this piece on what it's like in Africa. Ron

Reflections - Life a Dot on a Line (Poetry) - 9/7/2015 7:46:37 AM
It's best to work on being happy the whole time that dot moves along that little line called life. Everything else is just a waste of time that we have left on the line. Ron

Reflections - Ode to the Seagull (Poetry) - 9/5/2015 9:46:50 AM
An interesting piece on the seagull, the rat of the sea (?). Most dogs seem to love them and could chase them for hours. I love how they like to catch junk food in midair. I don't like it when they catch a fishing lure in midair. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I heard, was quite a philosopher. Ron

Reflections - Without Me (Poetry) - 9/4/2015 10:05:54 AM
Ahhh . . . I was becoming a little aggravated with the way the poem was going, but you slapped me back to its reality with the last four lines. I just love it when that happens.

Reflections - It's In Those Eyes (Poetry) - 9/4/2015 5:19:30 AM
Expressive, those eyes, aren't they? Ron

Reflections - It's In Those Eyes (Poetry) - 9/3/2015 8:30:20 AM
I'm looking, I'm looking!!!
