|
|
I have been good.
Being the obedient doll
of your dream house.
You wind my spring,
an angel house spins.
I rise and sing--
that makes your day.
Good girl.
You state your satisfaction.
Closing the door,
You set off to where
neon lights glow.
My eyes darken.
Stars fall apart.
The false paradise,
you never care
what is missing inside. _________________ ---------------------

Hi anna,
IMHO, the narrator is not you. By that I mean there are no genuine specifics in this poem which could arouse the reader's sympathy. And what does "You authorize your satisfaction" mean?
The false paradise,
you never care
what is missed inside
Since it is a false paradise, why should one care?
This may sound harsh, but I stand by it.
By the way, congrats to your poetry challenge win!

Thanks lake.
Yes. You are right. This is not my voice. I need to rethink.
Thanks.

Here is the comments agree with you, Lake..
I love how the first line plays with the title. I might bring one more stanza before the end. As a reader I want to feel a little more empathy for the narrator. The subject goes off to the neon lights and then leaps to an ending which doesn't really impact the way the opening does. We want to know (or at least I do) a little more of why she wants to be bad and perhaps how she wants to be bad. You are very masterful when it comes to nuance. I think you could show this without giving it all away
