A book in hand

A book in hand

A Poem by Bhumika Devkota
"

Love for reading

"
A book in hand
she was barley seen without it
no matter she read
forgetting about the environment she is in
forgetting about everything around it
expect for the text
laughing at silly stupid parts
her eyes closed when she was angry at a character,
blushing when she read a awkward and embarrassing part 
in the book,
she cried,
when she finished the series that she loved,
crying for a sequel,
daydreaming about what she would have done,
talking to the character a loud as she read on,
saying what she would have done,
reading it over and over again,
never getting tired,
talking to others about the book,
Wishing to be in the book,
Wishing to have an adventure 
like the characters,
But smiling as she read more and more,
no matter what, 
with a book in hand

Ok so I like the message you are trying to get across and can definitely relate to her. It was, however, very difficult to get into this poem. By the end it feels like your just reading a list and the movement just kind of dies. I would suggest some revisions.

Okay thank you for the suggestion, I will try to fix it :)
I thought you were writing about me. The descriptive and comparative nature of this poem is nicely written. I also am a book lover, and reminds me of my own experiences of diving into literary enjoyment.

Thanks, I feel like I read so many good books, that I became so picky.
The joy of reading...to completely immerse yourself in a book and get lost within the pages, never wishing the story to end. Anyone who loves to read will relate well to your poem. Well done
