I'm standing in reality

But living in a dream

Dear Princess JaniK,

These lines make a statement without suggestion of meaning or explanation. The reader is left with asking why is she living in a dream. It is easy to understand that you are standing in reality. Everyone is, or at least most people think so, but why is your life a dream? Without a hint, the poem seems empty.

Your poem is most similar to haiku. However the best haiku teach a lesson or at least reveal a truth that may not be readily apparent. I feel that if you provided one more line that explained the dream-like nature of your life you poem would accomplish this task and it would become haunting and insightful.

Very best regards,

Rick

I love your poems, if I want to spark my creativity, I can just read your poems! They're like inspiration-to-go you should sell them as energy bars.

You have a way with thought provoking, short poems. Very nicely done.
