New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Interesting concept in your poem. I liked the little twist at the end. I could have hoped that you would not have relied so heavily on rhyme but, having said that, I do like the way the poem finds its way to a very intriguing ending. I will be happy to feature your poem on my Instagram page one day in the next two weeks. Thank you for sharing your work with me, Susan</p>

<p>Her black irises all heavy, looked doped. </p>
<p>Nah. Neither from crack nor pot, nope;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lost inside a book, she lived on a single hope; </p>
<p>That one day, with her beloved character, she'd finally elope.</p>
