Well written about a sad but true all to common occurrence. Nicely done

Excellent word formation and flow. I do not like beauty pageants, because beauty is in the heart and soul, not the physical body. Good job!

so true, girls define beauty the outside way but wise men seek the inner beauty..

this poem depicts the destructive parts of not fully looking at the INSIDE of anyone.

This poem doesn’t just make me think of anerexia, but also the flaws of all competition. When only a few months ago, another Olympics passed and some compeditors were banned from the games for testing positive to this, or attacking another because of a disqualification: I can’t help but feel we forget why we’re competing too often. A good coach is like a good parent in that way.

very true..i have a daughter who does competition cheerleading ,she is tiny and does most of their tumbling…she also goes on top in the pyramids but she has a fast metabolism,she is always eating…my family is petite but she gets alittle worried kids will think she doesnt eat ,but that is not her case,i can understand ur point here thou…some will starve and go down to 9o pounds just to have that double 00 waist…CRAZY I AM A SIZE 3 AND FEEL SMALL STILL BUT I EAT LIKE A CHAMP,LOL

Very profound poem – important message.

Blessings.

Sincerely,
