    Now this was a very sad read. I could feel for both people. Her, because anorexia is a deadly disease and horrible to live with [even though, I, myself have never experienced it]. And him, because it is truly awful to come home and find out horrible news such as that.

    Very nicely penned.

    Shed rather drowned than gain a pound.

    A helpless body that couldn't take no more

    He was heart broken when he heard the news.

    Oh nnoo. THat was horrible. Oh my god, I'm crying. This really got to me like not many poems do. The flow wasn't perfect but it was good, the rhymes worked pretty well. The emtoion and descriptions you put into this was amazing. The feelings were shining through every word. Wow, this was really sad. I would have liked the boys reaction to be a bit more detailed, I felt the description lacked there a little. But overall, a fantastic poem. I am so glad I read it. 5/5

    ^ It should be "she'd" and "drown"

    A helpless body that couldn't take no more
    ^ It should be "any" not "no"

    Woops. Sorry, forgot to point out the mistakes.

    What a surprise ending that was! I never guessed that was happening... Great twist to such a tragic tale! Although the poem is suspenseful and kept my full nail biting, on the edge of my sear, sort of attention...the flow of this poem lacked. When I'm having trouble making things flow, I give a copy of my poem to a friend and have them read it out loud to me as I take notes as to where the stumble, or seem to speed up to make the syllable count stay on beat. In those places it's usually where the flow is off and something needs to be changed.
