Poem - The Doll
64Intro
I stumbled across this image, as you do, and the lines of this poem occurred to me
The image for the Poem
the doll asked me
do you know her tattooist Drax
no I said, hesitating, drawn to the image
wary of the doll's motives
any doll hanging by the neck has motives,
my motto
how much time have i got with this image
before the door of life knocks and I am disturbed
at being disturbed....

I am now disturbed also.
thanks for the comment folks... I just stumbled across this image and felt I just had to write to it... disturbed all the time anyway so who notices :-) thanks ..Drax..
nice poetry with a nice photo attached to it. it really makes the person think for the exact meaning behind the scene
A tat on the doll would have brought it all together...The grouse on the couch appears unimpressed...been there, done that..? Or just waiting to pounce on that creature crawling out from between the cleavage...Larry
Hi Swathin2, this is the interesting thing with random images... trying to interpret what the person creating it had in mind... thanks for the comment.

Hi Maven101, I must come back and add a few more verses to this to continue to explore more of the angles/curves... :-)

Hi AmyJo, thanks very much for the comment...
I really like this poem, it has helped me, and given me inspiration. Thanks for that. I look foreward to reading more like this.
A deep, moving poem =)
thanks very much for this lovely comment Paint I Shall.
I find random images all over the net that have an impact on me. In the old days poets roamed around and although there is no substitute for that virtually you see things you would never otherwise see in a lifetime. I think one must always make an effort to write to images that 'speak' to you...
Love the line "disturbed at being disturbed"... too kewl.
thanks Poetvix... every time I read this I think I need to add more to it... :-)

Very interesting poetry to accompany the image. There is a long story there.
