This was a very sad poem to read that manage to evoke feelings of sympathy in me toward Petunia. The way you paint her house and the small details made the scene come alive to me. I loved the bracketed lines which gave a real emphasis to the poem.

Well done. ~Carole~

Author's Response: Equi chick, I have you to thank for that! I took your advice and cut back on the number of parantheses that I used. I definitely see now that it really helps make the other more emotional parts stand out. Thank you so much for your critique on PA, and thank you so much for your review! I love ya, Carole! ~Nagini
