Through the Looking Glass

This is what happens when I'm bored.
Absolutely nothing.
Here goes for flooding the forum.

Thanks for reading.



I looked through the looking glass
Hoping to find adventure
For everyone knows that the best revelations
Always come through looking glasses.
And I stared and I glared
And squinted and grimaced
Until I gave up
And decided there was nothing but empty paper underneath.

What a relief.

Okay.. so the meaning behind this is that people often try to look into things and find something where there truly isn't anything. When they realize that they're reading into something a bit too much, it can be quite relieving. I don't know if it makes sense to anyone else, but it does to me.

Helloooo!
This poem is pretty cool, but I don't get the point, I don't get what you were trying to say. I mean, I like the story, but to me it all just seems like cleverly put together words. Sorry if that sounds mean. I like the story, I can see it in my head, ya know, but...yeah. I can't feel the relief, I can't feel the struggle. Nothing.
Sorry, if I wasn't much help. :/ PM me for anything though.

I like this poem. It seems humorous but has a deeper meaning at the same time. The words you piece together are very clever.

The part of the second line in red I think would sound better as just "looking glass" or maybe "the looking glass".
The line in purple I don't really understand. I get the meaning and what you're saying, but not the "paper" part.
Great work and don't stop writing!

Neat little poem.

Hoping to find adventure -

- Maybe use a comma instead of the dash, but definitely some sort of short pause is needed.

Until I gave up

- I think a line break would serve well after 'there' or 'nothing'

The rhyme of the last two lines comes out of nowhere and just feels silly - that's great!

Cool poem! I must admit I read the spoiler, and it reminded me of high school English teachers, always looking for hidden meanings, even ones that authors confirmed were non-existent. ^^
