Omg that was such a good poem and i really feel wat u r talkin about i mean i am crying right now. well i just really liked it and i feel soo sorry for that girl.

Hey :-)

Thanks very much for writing that poem, I was very impressed by it in places! It's direct but elegantly-worded at the same time, which is how I like poetry to be :-) The reason I came by your poem was because I was looking for a different Sophie poem on Google (the one that was aired on Radio 4 recently), and found your one instead :-)

I understand your frustration at Sophie's death as well. What happened to her annoys me intensely as well, even though I didn't know her. But she was a fan of dark types of music, as am I, and was attacked by a gang of stupid chavs basically because of how she looked. I hate it sometimes when people are that superficial.

Anyway, partly the reason I'm writing is because I wrote a poem a little while back about Sophie as well. I think it's less direct than yours, but I'm still proud of it, so if you fancy reading it then fire me a message or an e-mail and I'll send you it.

All the best,
Andy

P.S. I see you're from Essex. Half my extended family lives in South Benfleet, and I'm from Kent myself although I now live abroad.
