Hi Elisa,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is aggressive. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem makes a statement about drunk driving and is dedicated to three victims of the heinous crime. There is no excuse for driving drunk. I have felt like this for years. I have never lost anyone to a drunk driver and I never want to. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
