Hey Nikki! Danni here for a review.

First off, I honestly didn't understand how this was poetry. It was really short and didn't rhyme or have any other features of poetry. It has too many syllables for a haiku, and I'm really not sure of the point of this. Seems a waste of 200 points if you ask me.
I don't know much about poetry, as I'm not a poet, but in my book this does not classify as a poem. Maybe add some more to it then tag me.
Overall, I love the meaning you're trying to get across, as reading a book in a tree is a special experience, but this was not poetry. It was one line.

Radrook here to review and offer suggestions in order t assist. When I read this I couldn't quite see it as poetry since it lacks rhyme, metaphors, similes, hyperbole, assonance alliteration and many other things that differentiate poetry from common prose.

However, I realized that if we cast it in a stanza mode, then we can classify it as syllabic verse. That is to say, a predetermined number of lines which delineate a syllabic, numerical pattern.

This is a way of doing in the five eight five pattern. 5-8-5.

As you can see, now it does differ from prose since prose is never written in that manner.

Syllabic Verse Definition
A poetic form having a fixed number of syllables per line or stanza regardless of the number of stresses that are present. It is common in languages that are syllable-timed such as Japanese or modern French or Spanish, as opposed to accentual verse, which is common in stress-timed languages such as English.
