abuseI 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 :)

abuseI'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.

abuseNot 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.

abuseHa! 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,

abuseI 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.

abuseI 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.

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

abuseVery nice! I know a lot of people probably relate to this. Your choice of title is also very amusing/true. The rhythm and flow were steady and smooth. Also, I found your profile very intriguing; especially your choice of favorite words, and your favorite quote. I took your advice and did the personality test. I am an Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger; almost the same as yours. Anyway, thank you for gracing us with your poem. It was very enjoyable.

abuseThis is a really creative piece and I love the images that you bring to it. The imperfections of the rhythm, rather than being hinderances, complement the poem very well. Nicely written! Great work, keep writing, and thanks so much for the review!

abuseCute. =) I like it, sometimes I think there are way to many angsty romance-y poems.

"Almost always,

When I’m in a chair,

Bored half to death, maybe."

Doesn't work, really. The third line doesn't match the rhyme scheme, to me, and it's off rhythm. Otherwise, it's good.

Keep writing! Violet
