Racket fades into the background as it happens once again
Ensnared within the inked confines of unreality realized
Ablution of all my worldly troubles slowly they melt away
Dazzling words of enthralling esteem leaving me in an emerald daze
Inlays of insight upon my mind inspire new extensions of ideas
Nirvana rendered a pristine paradise truly a heaven on this cruel earth
Gauche reentry to harsh reality until the racket fades into the background once more
Author notes
I love to read, as long as I have my nose in a good book I'll be happy.

Good
I am kinda like you or at least I used to be that is before I had my baby. I loved to read. Again Good write and good luck. -
Ah yes, I do love to read. Reading is definitely a great escape from life. I don't understand why you chose to stick the word "emerald" in there, maybe you had a reason, or maybe you were just in need of an adjective, but it seemed foreign to me.
I do believe you described quite nicely what it's like to be so lost in a piece of writing that when you return to reality, you feel as though you've never known it, and it seems harsh, and for lack of better wording, unreal. Very nice, thanks for entering! -
this is a good poem i like the subject

This was an awesome poem..i really liked it, great write keep up the good work and good luck judging the contest!

Cool, I liked it. Can't honestly say I loved it. I didn't realize it was an acrostic until I read some of the other comments though. I liked that. Pretty cool. I love when people use the word nirvana in poetry. I think its so awesome! Lol, sorry, random. Well, I think this piece might have been slowed down a bit by the "bombastic vocabulary" Heh, yeah, I know, I'm a hypocrit!
Anyway, Maybe there was a little too much used? Other than that, I really liked it. I know what you mean when your reading. Nicely done.

This was a Very nice write, I was confused at first, but when I found out it was a acrostic everything became clear, i rather enjoyed this piece, it reminds me of myself a lot....reading is really something that can just take you to a whole new world....fantastic write....keep writing...

A life is a poem.
Yes it is true..it is also the phase of the life and also the phase of soul too. But it is not a one time experience it is a continuous experience and every day it is a struggle between this worldly affairs v/s the eternal affqairs. The humanbeing is the means and the reason of this struggle too. The thoughts of this poem are very sacred and take on towards the unknown world of this universe. The flow of this write is very much impressive and to the point. I really appreciate this work.prabhudayal khttar -

I think you did a great job with this acrositc poem. I think that they are one of my favorite poems to read. Keep up the good work! The more you write the better you will become, I read on your bio that your brother inspired your writing. I think that it's good. The only thing my brother inspires me to do is work hard! Laughs. GOod write though!
