| Posted by Adrian Calhoun on 11/09/02 at 03:22 PM Excellent writing, and a very good point. I used to do those same things and worse to my sisters barbies as a young lad. Brought back many memories. |
| Posted by Quinn Vokes on 01/10/03 at 12:00 AM interesting... could be taken in some different ways. i liked to mess w/barbie too as a child... how dare barbie be so perfect and me so horrible! but we must remember that barbie is not real. if she were she'd fall on her hands and knees b/c she's too well endowed!lol. |

| Posted by Paganini Jones on 01/24/06 at 09:02 PM This is a superb piece - I keep having another look at it. One of the best I have read for a long time.
The simple form and repetition really suit the image of playing with a doll. And yet by the end we begin to wonder if its about a doll or not. The layers in this poem blow my mind. |
| Posted by Delilah Coyne on 01/24/06 at 11:09 PM Wow! It's so raw and truthful. Very impressive. |
| Posted by Soulo Jacob Bourgeau on 01/25/06 at 02:18 AM Quite POTD worthy. I love the imagery of your tragic Barbie. I already have one Barbie poem in my favorites list, I think I shall make it two now... |
| Posted by Mo Couts on 06/25/11 at 04:16 PM This is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Our culture causes us to think so much of Barbies and how we compare to them, and this just prompted more thoughts for me. |
