Raggedy Anne in a Barbie doll world,
Red hair braided, blonde hair curled.
Make up on, rouge on her cheeks,
Plastic legs, arms that squeak.
Cuz I’m just a girl, freckles and all,
Plain and quiet, not amazon tall.
I wear black shoes, no pink high heels,
A blue and white dress, nothing it reveals.
I’m not a size 2, or even a four,
And I don’t have a beach house at the shore.
I don’t wear bikini’s, I’m not made of plastic,
And my striped tights, are elastic.
I’m not a pop star, no lip synching singer,
And I don’t have a rock, on my finger.
No man on my arm, I hold my own,
It’s what a girl’s gotta do when she’s all alone.
My head doesn’t pop off my cute little shoulders,
And I don’t pose in camo on those stupid boulders.
You can’t do my hair, my flat red locks,
And I’m already dressed up in my blue checkered frocks.

14|Sep|2009 2Well this is certainly a clever poem and a cute Idea. I used to write poetry and have some training and I will be honest, your creativity is great, but there are several places that you may want to work on as it looses its flow. Read it out loud to yourself and you will see what I mean. Below is a web site that has writing tips for poets.
