Dolls Eye Poem by Rob Lamberton

Dolls Eye

Rating: 5.0

Show me your eye doll
Red doll eyes of the party
Eyes of a looker
Eye dolls that ache with an itch
Consumed by the nights blindness

A beautiful depiction of a distinctive eye, interesting, and appealingly different coined in a poetic form, Tanka. I can see the eyes of a looker!

Beautiful poem penned; here the "doll eyes" symbolize artificial beauty and emotional numbness, while the blindness of the night suggests confusion or loneliness; it reflects themes of obsession, emptiness, and the loss of genuine human feeling.
