 button-nose 2006-02-02 . chapter 1i liked the free style writing of this... my fav lines were the last 3. it interested me the connection to anorexia that you used in this...overall nicely written!
button nose x x |
 in theory 2006-01-25 . chapter 1Teenage payperview destruction...that line really set this out for me. So many poems about anorexia...it seems overwhelming. This takes on a refreshing pose though. |
 cornered.sensations 2006-01-12 . chapter 1beautifully written, so poignant...great work! |
 Moondog Dozier 2006-01-03 . chapter 1Very poignent work. The last three lines are very powerful, as the sentiment sums up a modernity that attaches itself well to an age old theme. Good write. |
 myno 2006-01-02 . chapter 1Ah yes, anorexia. I'm a recovered anorexic myself, actually. Excellent poem. In response to your comment on "memories of a nomad"--I am lucky, but there's more than one side to the luck. Besides everything mentioned in the poem, there is one more thing that makes life quite difficult for me: moving as much as I do, I've never known anyone for more than 2 years. I've never had the chance to get really close to any of my friends. I generally attend school in the native language, so I start the first schoolyear in each country not being able to understand anything or speak to anyone. It's a very, very lonely life. Not trying to sound like a pessimist-- I wouldn't trade my lifestyle for anything-- but it worries me a little when people have only heard the exciting part of my experience and start thinking it would be good to try that life sometime. I'd give a lot to have a country where I belong, a place to call home; as much as you'd give to travel, I think. |
 White Tea and Ginger 2006-01-01 . chapter 1Wow, awesome. Great piece.
'& you were too busy whispering
apologetic i don’tloveyouanymore’s
to hear his heart shattering in his chest'
^ those were my favorite lines. Very creative.
Keep writing. |
 sloppy firsts 2005-12-31 . chapter 1this is beautiful. i'm doing a project about anorexia for school so i just had to leave a review. it seems like the girl is losing all control with herself and her habits and the only way she can feel better with herself is to gain back a bit of that control by hurting others. even if it means breaking someones heart. |
 just a teardrop 2005-12-30 . chapter 1i really like this, beautiful work! :D |
 a lonely september 2005-12-29 . chapter 1'teenage paperview destruction' beauty. |
 multiples of six 2005-12-29 . chapter 1I love this; it's emotional and kind of tragic. And don't worry about the "idon’tloveyouanymore’s" - the apostrophe needs to be there although I couldn't explain why, and putting the words together is just a particular style of writing some people might not like. =) |
 Jezsh 2005-12-29 . chapter 1I really love this...the ending is so bleak and abrupt, shocking. And I like how in this poem she is in the wrong, she's the one who can't see. Think it's more interesting that way, you get to hear both sides of the story. |
 Ellin Louise 2005-12-29 . chapter 1I'm not sure about the first few lines, but I love all the lines from "& you were too busy whispering" to the end. |
 heroin zombie 2005-12-29 . chapter 1Yeah yeah, it's good and all, but why did you write "don'tloveyouwanymore's?" I don't understand why you have to compact all those words together. Also, there's no reason to have an apostrophe. Unless you're trying to say "Don't love you anymore is," but that doesn't make sense, but neither does don'tloveyouanymores. It's not like the phrase "I don't like love anymore" is common enough in teenage life to warrant some sort of catch-all compound word. It's not like it contributes to the poem in any way, other than to depict the anorexic protagonist's lack of linguistic understanding. It's not like it's fashionable in poetry to smack a bunch of words together, right? Come on, help me out. I'm really at a loss here. |
