the perfect doll

a short poem about how society portrays a girl

The perfect doll

Don't make a fuss

Sit up straight

Make up on

Be the perfect girl

Perfect picture

Perfect poise

Perfect manners

Mistakes made

Consequences given

Society portrays perfection

Don't make noise

Stay quiet

Stay invisible

No voice

No brain

Another plastic doll

Be the perfect girl

Perfect poise

Perfect manners

Fixed pleated skirt

Manicured fingers

Tightened waist

Small breaths

Perfect girl

Perfect poise

Perfect manners

The perfect doll

Over the years, hundreds of haikus were written, inspired by moments of awe in everyday life, many of which are featured in the book Blue Harlequin. These haikus aim to inspire an appreciation for the simple beauty in life’s fleeting moments.

Your work reminds me of Alanis Moresette Jagged Little pill song ' Perfect' Worse than what society tries to say we should be are what we impose on ourselves! You say it well

I don't see any grammar or spelling errors. I see a closed world for someone young who needs to break free to come alive for someone to learn females today have no boundaries.
