    by Sapphire

    "My heart has been shattered,
    little does anyone know though.
    Especially my youngest sister."

    -This gives me a clue to what you are going to talk about. I can feel emotion here.

    "At age fourteen, incredibly young,
    having sex, she thinks it's fun.
    Why? Does she not know the consequences?"

    -The rhyming here is too simple for me, but you get the point across about what you are saying.

    "Is there anything I can do?
    Anything I could possibly say?
    Will she continue on this way?"

    -I can feel here that you are struggling with this, and struggling with what to do. I feel though that maybe you could have gone more into depth.

    "My eyes start to water,,,
    I'm about to give up hope.
    I have failed so miserably."

    -I can picture this happening to you, and the guilt that yuou might be feeling.

    "I'm at a loss, what do I do?
    It hurts me so much inside,
    Does she even have a clue?"

    -Here is where I can tell that your sister does not know of your feelings

    "My heart is shattered and broken..
    I'm so hurt and confused.
    Will she continue living in this sin?"

    -Hurt is used a lot in this poem, and I think that it could've been used less, but you get the point across of how much pain your feeling over what your sister is doing. I like how you wrap up the end. You leave the reader with a question, and that makes the reader wonder.

    Good poem. I liked it because it was to the point. The wording was a little bit simple for me, and the rhyming was good,but not the greatest. Yet I could feel your emotion coming out throughout the poem. Keep on writing.
