What am I

I drink milk for weeks

Gaining a pound a day

I am aching in my feet

Now I am at 500 pounds

20 feels like only an ounce

I sit and eat grass all day

Doing nothing eating mostly hay

Things come over and tip me at night

Sometimes we will get in a fight

My friend has gone into the barn

Hasn’t come back

Now he is in pieces on a rack

Hey,
Great ending. The rack part is really good. "Now I am at 500 pounds" could be"Now at 500 pounds, all big and round". Another thing, "I drink milk for weeks,
Gaining a pound a day,
I am aching in my feet" You could change to: "Drinking milk for weeks,
Gaining a pound a day,
Achinging in my feet,
Nothing to play."
But other than that, well done.
Nice,
D.Baum

wow.! this poem is great it makes me think really hard to what the poem is talking about. i really like the three ending sentences My friend has gone into the barn

Hasn’t come back

Now he is in pieces on a rack. there is some good poetry right theere. i think you could have a strobnger closing and put the three ending sentences in the middle.
