This is a great Flash! It is really calming, and touching. You did a good job.

Aw, I'm sorry I'm commenting on an old work...but it's very alluring to me, and I just recently found your gallery.
It's very peaceful, and it reminds me of a small town by an ocean. It's very nice, and I like how you captured it. It's especially nice how you added in movements to make it seem like it's actually happening, although, other parts suggest otherwise. I really like the concept of your flash, but it could be a lot neater. It looks like the background is very messy, but the person and the animated objects are very clean, and crisp.
Everything ties together very well. The music and the poem, and the simplicity of this little city/town. (I really wish I knew who played this song, though.)
Very good job. 
mm, anyways, I hope to see more wonderful art/animations from you.

Wonderfully cute! It somehow has a very Laputa Castle in the Sky feel to it! I really like the song too! I'm kinda curious where it is from (so pretty)!

You have a knack for making lovely flashes...
Message me. Maybe we can do a collaboration. I'm definately no flash artist, but if you want a script done, I'm your man. ^^

let me have the honor to be the first to comment.
In general, its simplicty makes it a very nice piece. The soft piano music gives a soft atmosphere. The black and white background has a nice simple feel to it. the addition of the airship and the cat running across the roof is, i'm gussing, an application of the flash. You must like the picture of the girl since you used it as your avatar. It s a nice light sketch (colored pencils?). it took me a while to figure that you had to click the pic to get to the poem. I
'm just a little curious as to why the girl is naked? Symbolism perhaps? The room could be a womb and she' looking out toward the outside world. It's just my guess. The wording of the poem is a little small for the available screen. Per your suggestion, its better on the full screen. The poem is short and sweet. Sharing the sentiments of waiting to be free. The flash could use a loading screen though.
This flash poetry is a nice departure from your Love Poem which you had earlier. Albiet it was really funny. Please don't be offended by my comments. I'm just offering a perspective on your work. Really nice job!

Thank you very much for the detailed critique. It is muchly appreciated.
Yes, you pretty much got it right as to why the girl is naked. Perhaps it wasn't too clear, my intention. I tried to show (quite subtlely, albeit) this idea of the womb by leaving the room inside the window as empty, emphasising the world outside.
Unfortunately I overestimated the size I'd have to place the poem, and so had to make the text smaller than I would have liked. However, I did not want to make the size too big for ppl's browsers, so I didn't change it.
Per YOUR suggestion, I think I will put a preloader
Once again, thank you for your comment. It really helps me in improving my work.
