Anorexia has taken its toll, its plain to see Bulimia is a curse of which I wish I were free Can’t believe that you are still in love with me Don’t ever give up on our wedding vows, this I pray Eating food - you always ensure I do this every day Fighting my demons, together every step of the way Got to jump on the scales and see how much I weigh! My invented form is an alphabet acrostic rhyme. Rhyme scheme a,a,a,b,b,b,b Title Chosen Eat, Pray, Love Contest Titles of Novels Sponsored by Nette Onclaud 06~10~16

When a mirror is deceiving, anorexia creeps in. Some conditions are strange. Congratulations! Well-deserved win.

I applaud you for your new invention and WIN in the contest!! ;-) My only invention is a diary poem, as you'll see in my poem, "Diary of a Boogeyman". Can I use your idea in the future? *_^
