For the booklovers

Ah! That fear of

Opening another book

When you've just finished 

A masterpiece. 

The uncertainty

Whether this one will be good enough

Compared to the last.

The denial

To live in any world

Except the last one

The most beautiful you experienced;

Whose words had captured your heart

And trapped you in their golden cage

That when you were set free

You no longer wanted to leave

That blissful world.

Ah! That fear of

Beginning a new journey!

Hey there! I really like this poem, and I certainly can relate! It's cool how you've used the line "Ah! That fear of" at both the beginning and the end. It helps give the poem a unified quality. I also think you've done well evoking the feelings that come with this experience.

Your format is nice and clear, and your spelling and grammar are great. I really admire the clean, organized appearance and the good flow. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for the review Winny! Glad you liked it <3

I will never forget Harry Potter……… and how empty I felt after I finished it!!!

I agree with that I was so mad when I finished too!

:)
And when I opened another book, I was convinced it would be stupid, but hey! Guess what? Not so bad.

can I quote this to someone else? And I really like this part.

And you didn't really describe the fear. You should focus on staying with wanting to be in that world.

sure you can :D Thanks for the review..<3

Hey anne! Incoming review!

Your poem perfectly describes book hangover. Ah, the struggles of an avid reader. Anyway, onto the review!

I'll start out with critique first.

The most beautiful you experienced;
I think you meant to put "The most beautiful thing you experience;" But that was the only minor thing I found to critique.

Let me praise your work now!

Your use of an interjection in the beginning catches the reader's eye and wants them to understand why it was used. And the words just flow together so well. And I feel this every time I read a new book because my book taste has been tainted with The Outsiders lol.

But that's all I have for today. I hope you found some of it useful. Sorry I didn't have more to critique or say, most of what you wrote spoke for itself! You're a great writer, keep it up! Anyway byeeeeeeeeeee<3
