This was a good poem.

I liked the irreverant narration to it, and the ending twist - 'you're just jealous' - because a lot of Anorexics tend to feel that way.

Also, I liked the first stanza's format, whether intentional or not (I'm guessing it was deliberate), it really worked for the story.

I love it. I love the shape that you made it too.

ha, this is so true. I like the shape of your poem.
how is it that fat people can call people skinny with a look of disgust on their face, but skinny people can't look in disgust at fat people?

I'm reading through your poems now, and although the phrasing in this poem doesn't strike me as much as some of your others, I just had to comment on the format. I love how it gets thinner. I don't see poets play with the shape of their poems nearly as much as I'd like to.

the form of this is flawless and really emphasises the idea of anorexia. wonderfully done.

oh jesus. the format is tight-lacingly CRUEL. gorgeous black dripping denial... i ** LOVE it

absolutely beautiful.

wow you took the words and feelings right out of my mouth= ive been there and know exactly how it felt to be that way- and still feel a little like that...loved it

that's perfect, and so tragic.

cool. i liked the title, and the straighten, smarten widen part.

thanks for your kind reviews.

hm...it speaks for itself, i think.

Completely random, but I love how the lines at the top look like an ice cream cone.

Awesome writing, and I loved the title.

Reading your poems makes me feel like I'm just barely skimming the surface of the meaning behind them.

And it makes me laugh insanely, then tell the voices in my head to shut up.

Haha

This is definitely one of my favourites out of your poems. It just says...well, pretty much everything about anorexia. I especially like how you shaped the words so that the whole thing got thinner. And the last line, it ends the poem beautifully. I love the way you write. It's so...cool! Keep writing!

I’ve heard that statement so many times (their just jealous) but I think a part of me never believed that - I always think that it’s other peoples insecurities that can’t handle the fact that your handling it on your own. Keep up the good work.

Much love,Juliet.
