It's easy to become
lost inside

the dimmed room and
musty books,

lit by a gleaming
cigarette;

a pinprick behind
your eyes.

Hi. Here for a quick review! I must say: this is absolutely excellent. There are so many layers and dimensions to your poem: I read it again and again until it painted a full picture in my mind. The drive and emotion and story behind such a simplistic piece of writing is mindblowing. Really beautiful. Anyway * like * and look forward to your next poem. How do say 'keep writing' in japenese - any ideas? Lol

Well, I liked how it was short and simple, but I'm not sure what was going on here. I kind of get the picture of someone sitting, smoking in a musty library. So it painted a somewhat vague image, but I couldn't picked up on much emotion or a meaning behind it. Although it's nice the way it is, maybe you could elaborate, explain a little more to the reader, but if you're just trying to visulize a thought in your head, I think it worked out nicely.

Sorry I can't be more helpful with my advice, I'm still not very experienced in poetry or giving reviews. Overall I liked your style, how it was put together, it has good potential! Ah... I hope I'm not discouraging, and it's probably better not to listen to me anyway, I don't really know what I'm saying half the time!

Anyway, nice job! I would definately be interested in reading more of your writing!

Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
