Notes About The Poem

Inspired partly by a weird movie that popped up on Netflix.

Dollhouse of the Creep

Two girls were in the country when they found
an eerie house with nothing else around.
They went inside and then knew right away
this was no house where they should ever stay.

Old, broken dolls were scattered everywhere.
But worse than that was what was living there.
It was a giant, ugly-looking man
who chased them while grunting. The poor girls ran.

He picked them up like toys and clutched them tight,
then tossed them all around. They felt such fright.
If they should scream, he’d throw them at a wall!
He’d feed them if they made no sound at all.

He held them both so roughly and he painted
their cheeks and lips with rouge. Their lives were tainted.
They realized that as dolls he meant to keep
them locked up in the dollhouse of the creep.

I expected a happy ending, but maybe one learns to stay away from dilapidated houses. Lovely rhyme.

Usually not a happy ending with a scary story!
