    Nice, u describe here in morning when is sun peep from our window and we cover with our sheet.

    I really don't like to get up early in the morning.
    In winters to getup in morning its is punishment for me.

    I really don't want to wake up.

    This is the type of poem that makes me pay attention to the words. Specially, the word Voyeur. I can go by the definition the dictionary gives but then The category in which this poem was place (under meaning of life) wouldn't suit it (In my opinion).

    However, the word "innocence" brought a different perspective into mind. When I read the poem, I first thought that it was in reference to lovers. One waking up in the morning and seeing their other half next to them while lying on their side. So the one awake, enjoys or receives great pleasure to see their lover next to her/him and perhaps fears to wake him/her up, so the one awake wants to refrain from touching his/her forehead but eventually gives in.

    The word innocence made me think of a mother watching her child sleeping. And it gives her joy seeing him sleep. However, I think it's more about lovers rather than the mom.

    Well written! And also nice brevity. 5/5

    ~From start to end, the flow is really nice, like the simplicity, actions, choice of adjectives, so playful. Always enjoyed reading your poems. Superb work, Sylvia!

    I love the use of the word voyeur it's very unique and not used at all. I think you used it well and it works because of what you wrote. I like the soft feelings you bring to the readers heart. There is nothing better than lying next to the person you love. And just watching them can bring peace to your soul. The wording and flow are fantastic as well. I didn't see anything wrong with it. The story is amazing because there are many emotions that play out and enhance the whole thing. Overall this is one of the better pieces I have read. The idea is simple but you made it into something wonderful.
