seance doll

Listen to poem:
Six friends met for seance brought their dolls placed ring-a-rosy in the center of a table dolls holding hands. Lights were dimmed and seance session started guests cast their voices as ventriloquists to the dolls without moving their lips. The dolls gossiped among themselves. No one knew who made which doll speak. At first it was a fun a round table chat. Some tried different voices. But then, the mood shifted as strange new voices appeared spooky and sinister, with more serious tone and subject. First one, then two people left the room too eerie and sinister by far. Still the conversation ran round and round between the chatting dolls. Then someone noticed the look on the doll's faces changed - their eyes moved, they frowned a little. Their demeanour became angry and bitter. By then all friends had left the room. But still the dolls chattered away with strange voices flung afar from ghostly six ventriloquists chatting amongst themselves in the dark.
