| Like the image of the weathered tired youth that has neglected herself to the point of self disgust. Another wonderful poem. - Leah |

| 'Skin weathered and leathered, / Looking as if decayed through formaldehyde' - really beautiful writing, great stuff. |

| this is very powerful. the way the metre scans suggests a tiredness, a resignation to the facts of the woman's life that mirrors her own resignation in the phrase "it's come to this". great work |

This is pretty shocking,
But poetry that evokes a response is always a good thing in my mind. I love the imagery that describes this woman in this piece. She is described as being prematurely aged; haggard beyond her years.
The last line is a great twist- well done! |
