I like that 'the circus' is a metaphor for the imagination. Through reading or quiet reflection, the speaker is able to put some vibrancy and colour back into their life. :)

Hmm, well I really liked the last two ending sentences. It has that un-finished/rambling feel to it that really adds to the ending of the piece. Very nice. But I didn't really like this part:

"There are horses, tigers, dogs,

And calico cats, too."

It felt a bit like you were just listing, and one of those "dogs, and cats, and mice, oh my!" statements. I didn't really like that. But other than that, nicely done.

Ahaha, I liked the ending; nice twist.

I also liked the poem because of the imagery and descriptions. Bright, festive, fits with the title.

By just reading this.. 'circus' really pops in my mind. Great imagery, clear. I can relate to the last line... by just reading, I can have a lot of this going in my mind. Great piece!

Thanks by the way for the reviews!
I hope you'll win XD

Nice poem...
I kinda wondering why this poem is a fantasy...
But, in the end it answered my question...
It was your creative imagination~
I like the idea...

(^_^) Great job~

I liked how this had a bit of a riddle feel. I would have liked to see a question at the end - maybe a "where am I".

Good pictures and use of color and visuals. I thought the punctuation here was a bit much. My main suggestion would be to lighten it up.

Cute. Enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this piece, it made me think of Alice and Wonderfland actually. I remembered different scenes from the few times I had been as a child. I could hear it almost sing-songy in my head. The end confused me; reading? I'll be "thinking" about your poem now, trying to figure it out :)

I'm no poetry expert, but something felt a little off to me about the meter of this poem. I know it's free verse... some of the lines at the beginning are a little long, I think, and that kind of threw me. I loved the subject matter, though. I think this is something a lot of readers - and authors - can relate to.

Not sure why you misspell circus. In your name it's fine, but for the piece it seems odd.

I like the ending because it was unexpected. I also liked your description of the circus because it was very accurate.

Ha! That was great. I like your summary of it. From the summary, though, I didn't expect a poem *describing* the world in your head. Don't worry, you're not alone imagining worlds, I have thousands!

From the first two lines, I knew I'd love it. First impressions are usually right! I like the last two, too.

Keep writing,

I really enjoyed the concept of this piece. It's easy to relate to (especially for us fiction press kids) and has an interesting discussion about how people feel about reading. You definitly captured a common emotion among your audience.

My only criticism is that the flow and rhythm of the piece is sometimes a bit choppy. I think you just got a little caught up in trying to make things rhyme where you wanted them to -that seems to be common with a lot of people. Just remember that poetry doesn't have to rhyme. It can, but it doesn't have to.

Really nice work though, I enjoyed it.

I really love this poem, probably because I can relate to it so much. I don't have just one world inside my head but many and that always keeps things interesting. I think this really speaks to the mind of writer and its fantastic, great job.

Very imaginative. I would say you're a little insane, but then again, I named my Muse. He's Bob, by the way.

Now that's a cool poem. I like it. Yours seem personal, and have a nice different style.
