Well, this photo was a bit creepy and for some reason I just kept thinking of dolls gone bad.
Breaking News
Mass Escape from
St. Claud’s Center
for Delinquent Dolls
Just this morning
a passing photographer
captured this pivotal scene
of the notorious Brown-Haired Doll
with her famous fringed blue eyes,
gang leader, miscreant,
dimpled arm raised,
baby-blue-shoed foot
kicking out,
targeting the glass barrier,
already fractured,
and demure-looking accomplices
lurking in assumed postures
with their flat and soulless
marble gazes intent.
Look-outs.
All poised on the verge of escape.
Today’s poem is an inspiration to all would be writers and poets. Writing can be playful and imaginative. Let go.

Thanks, Dan! The responses to this photo were fascinating–most were either creepy/threatening or haunting/lonely. Who knew dolls evoked such strong emotions!?!
