To whom it may concern,
I don't know how you found your way here, but I am sorry to say that you have stumbled across some pretty terrible poetry. Should you desire to hit your back button at the top of your screen, I will understand completely.
You will find no teen angst here. If you do find something slightly angsty, post your disgust and it will be removed pronto.
Mahalo,
Moi
Barbie Doll - by Marge Piercy
This girlchild was born as usual
and presented dolls that did pee-pee
and miniature GE stoves and irons
and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.
Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:
You have a great big nose and fat legs.
She was healthy, tested intelligent,
possessed strong arms and back,
abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.
She went to and fro apologizing.
Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.
She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exercise, diet, smile and wheedle.
Her good nature wore out
like a fan belt.
So she cut off her nose and her legs
and offered them up.
In the casket displayed on satin she lay
with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on,
a turned-up putty nose,
dressed in a pink and white nightie.
Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consummation at last.
To every woman a happy ending.

RainAndRoses on March 31, 2005I've enjoyed reading all of your work. I may get to commenting on more of your poetry later. I just went through a bunch of it, and it's very nice. I especially liked The Queen Of Hearts, Neverland, and Star Light, Star Bright. Great job, I'll be looking for more of your stuff!
