    Wow this poem is really intense the whole way through. So many people suffer and struggle with bulimia and its terrible. I thought the poem was done really well. maybe a bit more flow but that really doesn'y always matter. Great job 5/5

    I like this for the following reasons...it was very deep. I myself am a survivor of an eating disorder so it really touched me. It was an origianl toic that you don't see everyday.
    I like the style used and the repetition gave it a dramatic effect, enforcing the despair one goes through everytime the give in to their 'desir' to eat and the tremendous guilt felt afterword.
    The imagery was graphic but necessary to get your point across....VERY WELL DONE! 5/5

    Well well..I liked this, I can definately relate this to past experiences of mine. I didn't particularily like how you repeated the last line in every stanza. I like the details and imagery you used.

    I thought this is a good poem! Though I found some of the lines quite long, but still well-written! It is deep and full of emotion. And the imagery, intense! I liked it! Well done!

    I think this is a good description of a first encounter with bulimia. I like it, but I think if you went into a bit more detail about the fear you felt or about the food, it'd be even better!

    I liked the repetition, even though the title gave away the poem. Perhaps it could have been slightly better if the reader only found out towards the middle or the end that it was about bulimia... humm.. though some people are grossed out by that, so the way you did it was probably best :-D

    I enjoyed reading this.
    I thought there was great depth in this.
    You did a great job with the imagery.
    The flow through me off at times, but apart from that you did a wonderful job.

    I really liked the repitition used here. I thought it worked well for the poem. The flow could have been a bit better, it wasn't as consistent as it could have been. However, I still really enjoyed reading this.

    Ok honestly, I really liked it, it evoked powerful feelings in me, some of the lines were incredibly powerful. Some I felt are not quite so tight, but still backed up incredibly well. I think I will check out a few more. ya I loved it, really, the line about Mia, yes awesome, very personalized, I am impressed. My fingers touched my insides, another very powerful, graphic image. That is what it should do, evoke feeling. I have never had an eating disorder, but I can see the "relationship" that is formed. excellent!

    Hey. I really liked this. Mostly for the personified way you wrote about belimia. It took me a minute to realize that your title gave a hint as to what it is (though I think that's just because I'm tired) -but that still came in handy for me, and probably for some other reader that may have a really dark imagination; as they might take on a different approach to the way you wrote this. Don't take this in abad way though, because I believe that a poem is that much better when you give the reader something to be pulled into, especially when they have to decipher the story or meaning.
    Over all, this is one of the better poems I've read in a while. Hopefully it'll provide some comfort/reason for someone with this problem to come read it and help themselves a little.
    Really well done. Sorry I can't give you any advice, as if it were mine, I wouldn't change anything.

    That, is an amazing poem. Although a rough subject, you did a great job in writing it, and expressing emotion, but not directly. The repitition of the last line in every stanza was perfect. I love it. Well done. 5/5

    Great read! Though I'm not sure I really like how the last line is repeated in every stanza, but overall I think it was very well written.

    I like how in both ED poems you used the disorder as a female name, this is clever as it targets females mostly, what with skinny models everywhere. Under a size 6 should be banned I say...
    This was good, it did just what it was supposed to...nothing much else to say.

    I love the way you took such a disgusting habit, and recerated it in a less icky way. the wording was nice. i enjoyed the poem, even if it wasn't a pretty topic.
