    There is a time and place for everything.
    If you have the urge to drink, make plans
    don't get behind the wheel , you may kill
    either yourself or other innocent people

    Yup, there is not such a thing as drink and driving safe. I like this poem and what it means.

    Though I'm not a drunkard, I feel warned about drunk-driving. This is a really powerful piece that ALOT of people SHOULD read.
    "so how
    do you expect to take
    control of something
    else."
    A question mark instead of a period would heighten the importance of this question. And I think it would be better if you expand on what that 'something else' is.
    "You could get
    behind the wheel
    when you're drunk
    but someone else
    may end up under it,"
    ---I love this part. Instead of the perfunctory 'you might kill someone', this is a nice way to pen that.
    "Don't be so selfish.
    There's no such
    thing as drink
    driving safely."
    --I won't lie, this made me laugh^^
    It's somewhat sarcastic haha. But it would be better if revised to: "there's no such thing as driving drunk safely"
    Overall, great piece. Keep writing

    I drink, I don't drive, because if I had my own car...I don't know it wouldn't be called car anymore! haha. One of our relatives used to drink too much till he had ulcer in his stomache, ewwww, his face was at first pale and he is now deprived of too many beautiful things. Your poem really really really REALLY is constructive! and so helpful to lots of people.

    'You could get
    behind the wheel
    when you're drunk
    but someone else
    may end up under it,'

    Well, that made me shiver! I just imagined someone being killed or run over by me, ughhh that gave me chills. I liked how you simply expressed your idea, with some powerful images here and there.

    I enjoyed the read, Liz!

    A standing ovation for this piece. Very wonderful message and you have written it in a fun way but one reads grasping the message it conveys. I agree with you on this piece in that one really cant expect to control things when drunk. The questions just kept me glued and how you seem to write of someone who is naive made it more interesting.

    Liz, I just loved this piece here, it was so well written, like giving the message and just realy showing the harsh reality of drink driving...

    At first, I was unsure of where it was leading, cos I felt myself nodding, yes I like a drink, and etc but then I was like, WOW she really gives this poem a great interest here.

    Liz, You just rock
