A nice poem on college life, this stage of life is really confusing, neither you enjoy life nor you are naive.

It's a nice poem; congrats on being selected as the POD; you don't, however, need to clarify a poem, like you have done here...let the readers draw their own conclusions and enjoy the flow of the poem...

Like last year when I cried this rain in tears Your circuit's dead again I should have told you I'm scared of losing people...love, infatuation, its problems that occupy one's mind.. leaving the half smoked cigarette behind.. the one i met is the one sent by an angel......... very fine images. tony

I read the confusion and the muddled thinking in the poem and in the long explanation, as well. A poem should focus and aim at a central point, so I see this poem as an exercise which will lead ultimately to a clearer view of life.

Story of a half love and romance, nicely compared with a half smoked cigarette and a match stick. The poetess wrote a poem in a different style. It's lovely selection as member's poem. she deserves congratulations and I congratulate her.
