Kim Rodrigues Poet Haiku

Children's Toys

CHILDREN’S TOYS

do dolls have a soul?
glassy-eyed she stares at me
~ hauntingly gothic ~

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

shall i play the tape?
played backwards the devil speaks
~ douse with holy oil ~

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

vinyl spins around
“mares eat oats and does eat oats”
~ sounds nonsensical ~

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

speaking to the dead?
fingers slide from a to z
~ don’t play with matches ~
