Fabulous piece of writing. Read it twice and kept going back to look at the photo so i could recognise the people. Honest, witty, and compulsive reading.

A big warm welcome to the site snichols. Great start. I liked the way you have put a capital H every time you use the word Her. Makes us say the word different, which I suppose is the point of the whole poem. Very sad subject but brilliantly...

Really good Hayley. There is a sense of "tension" running all through this. The reader feels "uncomfortable" for Clare. She's trying to fit in and become one of the gang but takes no real pleasure in it. We've all been there, both male and...

A big warm welcome to the site Riss Ryker. Enjoyed this very much. Some great lines, in fact too many to mention. Also loved the last three lines in which you sum up the whole thing. Great start.
