Melda's Critique of "Library Smell" by Heidi Heifer

This poem is about a person who is describing his/her sensory experience in a library.
I like the rhyme scheme in the beginning of the poem even though it is not completely obvious, but nonetheless, it works for me. Also, I like the line "but the words get caught in my pores." It is very powerful as you describe words as a creature that cannot seem to enter into your mind. I do not understand, however, why you state that you don’t want the knowledge from the library. It seems to me as if the library is a place where you absolutely hate going.
