My thoughts are in Dutch,
My vision seems very blurred;
I swear, I'm not drunk.

I stayed up until four--
I'm talking about a.m.
The book was so good!

And now I am dead,
Or quite close to being so,
And can't concentrate.
Shakespearian tongue-twister:

To sit in solemn silence
In a dark, dank dock
In a pestilential prison
With a lifelong lock;
Awaiting the sensation
Of a short, sharp shock
Of a cheap, chippy chopper
On a big black block.

*I liked the uniqueness of this poem. It comes off that you're trying to describe your feelings and simply cannot. "I swear, I'm not drunk" you say, but how can you be sure? It's hard to describe your feelings, and you feel dizzy... I'm just saying, if you can't describe your feelings, don't rule anything out. You never really know why you feel the way you do. And maybe "drunk" doesn't necessarily mean intoxicated off of alcohol. Maybe you're drunk off something else. At least, this is my view.

Nice grammar. Didn't find anything wrong with that. Just take a second look at your message. Overall, nice work- short and sweet.
- baby, please don't go -
- who do you think you are? -
- i was enchanted to meet you -
- you're the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart -
- until the morning sun you're mine, all mine -
- there's only 1 way 2 say those 3 words 4 you... i love you -

Amusing. ^_^ It's something all of us dedicated readers can relate to, and thus made me laugh.

I swear, I'm not drunk. I think the comma is unneeded.



I had to have something to say other than that I enjoyed this XD. But I know it's not meant for serious critiquing.
