Ha Ha I thought this was hilarious
so basically the person drowned them self in a river? i'm just alittle confused on that but the poem's really good.
I eat suicide for breakfast
This poem is short, but I love the theme of Suicide ;) I thought that I was the only one who personified it...
i dont like this poem very much i dont like how it is suicide
I am borderline speachless
i like this poem, because it is a great personification, i wish i could use it for my project.
amazing, and doubly amazing for it's conciseness
This says it all, excellent--Melvina--
Perfection, no doubt-simple but revealing.
