    This is a great poem with a fantastic message, but now that you have got the reader to ponder over what you said. I think you should put your own opinion on this piece close the work with the way you would want this to end or have the reader understand how they can change things. A writer's gift is not only to shine light on the wrong that being done, but its also to move people to change the world around them This is the core sense of being a great writer in my belief gerat job keep up the great work.

    First of all, I do not enjoy poems that lack punctuation.

    The poem is well written, but the only problem I have with it is that it focuses more on his hardships in lackluster detail.
    An idea like this should bloom into a tale, one that explains how he got where he is in detail, and gives more insight into the life of a dying child living on the streets. The details you give are very dull, and they make for a onto-the-next-one poem.

    I suggest maybe you try, on your free time, expanding the details of your poems, and adding punctuation.

    Despite the lack of anything making this poem wonderful, it was good. I am not going to give you some hoochy comment, but I am not going to kill your spirits. The poem, in all honesty, wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either. With some capitalization, some punctuation, and some adding and deleting, you would have a wonderful poem.

    You don't really need to work on syllabication, but just as a sidenote, there were a few errors but those are forgiveable =]

    "So the weaker he got and the more he grew slim" and also, it seems you got sidetracked and forgot where you meant to speak about, and it seems as if it remains unfinished.

    Good job though,
    5/5

    Powerful poem, and very sad. The last line was just perfect. Really captured my mind. And made me think about the cruelty in the world(why the boy ended up in street first place). Really enjoyed reading it.
    5/5 Keep writing.

    This peice was better. I liked the overall message. I felt as if the flow and ryhme was kind of forced. But other than that great job.

    Oh holy crap.

    This was AMAZING.

    I don't even know what I could possibly say that would even begin to sum up how I feel about this piece...

    This was beautifully written, despite being relatively short you managed to pack in so much depth and emotion, and the imagery you portrayed in this was beautifully done, it created very vivid pictures in my mind.

    The flow was FLAWLESS throughout this piece, and that ending..oh wow. Filled with such intensity and power that it hits the reader like a slap in the face.

    This is just...wow. I love this. This is going into my favourite poems. Definietly.

    A beautiful write, with such a deep message behind the written words.

    Amazing work on this.
