Simply amazing!

Yes – fantastic. Love the way he’s always on the verge of going from speech into full-out singing. And I know just what he means about the playground. File next to Roger Waters’ reminiscences on The Wall by Pink Floyd. (Comment from the Poetry Station’s YouTube site.)

you captured the horrors of the playground, very well in this piece

I think that this poem was quite upsetting and I feel really sorry for the child. A they sound genially sad and I think that lot’s of people are in this situation and it will really touch a nerve. It made me feel a little tearful . But I do like it mainly because it is very visual about the playground and the wire fence, how high he was when all this happened.  it involves repetition which is very effective in this particular . It’s mainly about bulling and this happens all around the world every day and I think that it is a very important subject. It also touches on other subjects like racism and other reasons that kids are bulled. I think it was good but the bit about the beetle was odd.
