Reader comments

I was attracted by "My chest is full of sand and gravel". The poem is very wonderful, and I was shocked by several paragraphs. It is words that I can't write without breaking my head. Maybe it's because I, the wild boar, can't eat fine chaff, and I always feel that it is too sad, full of melancholy and resentment towards women. I feel a little sad for the author. Why do I put all my talents in love and love? The whole story is full of melancholy.

This collection of poems is like a window that allows me to see the world in Xiao Hong's eyes. Her words are full of emotion, which made me feel her loneliness and love for life. I like her description of nature, which makes me feel like I am in that grassland. There are some characters in the poetry collection that I find annoying, such as those who are small-minded, but it also makes me appreciate friendship more. I think this is a collection of poems worth reading. It will make you think more about life.
