tragic barbie dolls
play dress up for their men;;
[my ken ]
snapshots & beats drench the night
with synthetic memories of life-
>>please, pour another.
vodkas and martins float
around distant minds-
forgetting the present
rewind back to the lollipops and cabbage patch days
strike up the bands
dance the night away

I really do admire this poem and wish I might try one built this way.
The message and style are very appealing.

I do get this, && I really like it.
I never thought of the picture in that way, but after reading this, I took another look at it. This has a lot of emotion behind it hun, && a lot of brilliant lines.
forgetting the present
rewind back to the lollipops and cabbage patch days
strike up the bands
dance the night away
I love those lines, && I don't mean if you meant it this way, but the way it seemed to me, was just going back to the days when there were no worries or responsibilities, && just, as you stated, dancing the night away.
love that.
Thanks for entering.

I always like a poem about Barbie and Ken. Barbie can fit in almost any poem and it's usually either funny or tragic.
Way to go here, girl! 
A clever poem, most certainly!

Hey, first off thank you for all your comments. They're mucho appreciated. :]]
Secondly, I actually really like this piece. You've definitely got potential, but your talent would come across more clearly without the puntuation. Of course, that's just my personal opinion but I really do think you're talented. Good luck in the contest
