Poems - When I am naked
| | When I am nakedby Lyla
You watch a moon rise
only to fall asleep
You wait to hear birds sing
only to ignore it
and now
like all things complicated
and simple
you waste beauty

I thought this poem was nice and interesting but I think you tell instead of show us at the end. It is obvious but the discriptions that this person doesn't appreciate the beauty in life, show this by the discriptions you give in the previous lines instead of telling us what we can already observe. Just a thought, this was a nice one though.
