Becoming
I fell for a boy
wearing an octopus tattoo
became hypnotized
by the way
he moved his ink,
forlorn when he
chose another,
said I was shallow.
Self pity nor sainthood's
for me. Took it upon myself
to become what I love;
I wear it better, anyway.

fun. poignant. and a little scary.
I love the way you included an octopus tattoo, and ink. This is a very different kind of love poem for sure.
Another lovely doll ~
I like the line of becoming what I love...great prompt Margaret ~ Will get down to writing, thanks ~
This is also a good message to pass on to the girls who created these dolls - to become what they love, not seek it in Silly Boys, hee hee.
brilliant, I love it
This is super, Margaret. Love the second and fourth stanzas in particular (tried to choose one, couldn't).

That's right!
Love that this is so...true.......
:)
Great message! Find your own style... :D
So funny - said I was shallow! I agree, always best to become what one loves!
So 'in your face' .. love it!!!
I love this one Margaret. Tight and vivid from first to last.
I LOVE your first two stanzas. Love. Like, big time. ;)
You are way too funny...and that video is amazing. Who knew an octopus could do THAT!
Love it. Good for her that she didn't succumb to self pity.
LOVE this, Margaret!!!

Very late here but once again I love the dolls and prompts. I hope you will post them again as prompts sometime in the future. Also I like the creative direction you took with this octopus woman doll. Glad sainthood and self=pity are not the only choices in life!
interesting love story with a little twist
