dolls...




human-like
dolls
have a sensitive ear
for sham and
branded
heartbreak
if you leave them
alone
for too long

and
no tossed ball
will ever get them
to acknowledge
to understand 
the hunted game of
fetch


worthy witches know
that
blind spells
boiled by
lesser humans
only lead to
the dark resurrection of
scorpion minds and
a soul hungry
werewolf

Oh, I like what you do with the words...beginning with the dolls. Also like the photo.

The words brought out some darkness this week. You used them well in this witchy poem. Brava!

It takes a higher mind to spot an empty soul - maybe that's why empty souls outweigh higher minds...a mighty fine poem...

You had some fun with the words. Love the first stanza.

I love the dark imagery dolls are scary, the uncanny valley of something so empty wearing a human face

Very clever and economic use of the words, Gemma.
