The reason why i'm acting like i do.

by Cassandra   Jun 9, 2006


I was fashioned as a ragdoll
my pattern cut from several yards of flesh
sewn neatly at the sides

A helium tank was attached to my ear
filling my body to its seams
until this female form appeared

Floating in and out of the masses
I am now a balloon
meant to take up room

a hollow body
whose kisses and words are received
only because I am here
to occupy your vacant space

at least for today.

    I absolutly *LOVE* this poem. I love the imagery and thematic depth. You have serious talent. Id give it a 10, but its stuck with a 5.

    Alright while it was short it did keep some attention.

    I used the rag doll before. Nice way if you really need to describe someone. You took very good originality by adding the sewn part.

    Seems a bit forced. I think you could have added more detail to it or maybe changed the wording to fit the scheme.

    The last line held a bit of sadness to it although smeone can take it as anger.That's why poetry is so great. I thought the final stanza was okay but the last line was one of your strongest.
