"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
she is, a doll she is
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
a doll manufactured to perfection
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
they're all wearing pink skirts
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
she's thin, they all are
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
toes curved to fit stilettos
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
eyes blue, the stickers sparkle
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"
there's this kid who keeps saying
"she's so pretty, pretty, pretty"

Another poem, another chance to improve at reviewing them 😊
Oh I like the strange emphasis that line creates: “she is, a doll she is”
Hm it feels like between all the repetitions of how pretty she is and how perfect there’s still a critic too. Maybe in this line “she's thin, they all are” showing that there’s not much variety in dolls. Also the curved toes to fit stilettos, I wonder why I have to think of these unnatural looking feet then…
thank you for the review!!
Your poem is short and beautiful. The child repeatedly saying that the doll is pretty creates a good rhythm, maybe showing that we can find beauty in the mundane or mass production.
Thank you!!
This is a rather strange yet bizarrely endearing poem that I have come across in the vicissitudes of the green room!
Hey there, Rebel here from Team Pumpkin Spice Latte on Review Day for a short review for a short poem before going to sleep.
This poem reminds me of a child playing with Barbie Dolls or someone who is near a child playing with Barbie Dolls, repeating the phrase "she's so pretty, pretty, pretty". Is it secretly a thesis targeting the heart of modern-day capitalistic consumerism and the rather bland nature of the same old things repeating over and over again? Who knows? It's too short to say for certain, but it does evoke a bemused sense of amusement in me.
This really reminds me of Barbie dolls, and it sets the tone for the entire 'poem'.
Once again, perfectly matching the usual brand of Barbie dolls -- although there have been many variants released over the years.
Still Barbie, however, this focuses on the more intricate details of the doll -- I believe.
Now, for me, this is the crux of the entire poem. To me, this line where someone repeats something by imitation causing another person to repeat the same thing (i.e., the entire poem) -- all caused by repeated propaganda and marketing strategies -- is the core of the poem and perhaps the underlying message it wishes to send.
Once again, of course, it could just be a poem about a kid fawning over their Barbie doll. Not everything needs to be too deep.
Thanks for creating this!
See you later,
Rebel
thanks for the review!! my poetry's interpretations aren't supposed to be confirmed by me, but i am a teeny bit disappointed because my message runs a little more deep. but thank you so much for reading!!
I am so sorry for not getting the original interpretation, can you tell me what it is?
Please don%u2019t apologise, it%u2019s totally okay. Everyone has their own interpretation, that is why art is art. I prefer not to share, but I will for this case. The poem is talking about how society forces young children especially girls to admire and desire to fit societal norms. Dolls have skinny, perfect silhouettes with long hair and blue eyes. The young girl as mentioned finds her so pretty. I wrote this thinking of the fact that her idea of pretty is now decided by the packaged and manufactured dolls that society places to create insecurity and self hate.
