Really love the theme, this was so much fun to write. Thanks @terrycraft for this contest supporting poetry on Steemit!
The Doll
The one you love most is the last you'd suspect,
but a doll in your likeness, with pins in its neck,
tucked away in the back of a drawer in her vanity's
not a good sign: you question her sanity.
A tickle in your throat makes you cough as you look
through cupboards, closets, boxes, and books...
In the pantry: carved with strange sigils there stands
a broom, made of real wood, polished by hand,
unnoticed before. Now restless, you keep
waking only to search features softened by sleep.
One night, catlike, she'll rise with the moon
and fly to the sky on her polished wood broom!
i like the image of the witch that your poem has created....
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
