Robert The Doll

his legend his know more in Florida Keys but he inspired the movie childs play and too me more spookier than Annabelle

You might have heard of Annabelle or maybe even Chucky

You still don’t know the most famous of them all.

Better watch out evil has a name 

We call him Robert the Doll!

In 1906 given to a boy named Eugene

By a Bahamian servant skilled in voodoo and black magic

You would think a doll would cause no harm

Unfortunately darkness takes over and things become tragic

This tale takes a stranger path down creepy lane

As the chills slip through the crack

Eugene’s parents claim when he talked to the doll

They heard a different voice talking back

It gets weird and scarier seeing Robert

As he appeared running from room to room

Soon the family would fear Robert

Unsettling feeling of doom

Eugene would blame Robert for everything bad

That happened within their home

Never knowing where he would creep up next

The sinister doll felt free to roam

As Eugene grew older and died

The attic became Robert’s new place to dwell

People claim if they went up there 

It felt like they were walking into hell

Robert’s expression always seem to change

With a devilish kind of grin

People become more curious of this walking doll of sin

A new family moved into the house 

A little girl would soon claim Robert as her doll

But screams would come as she was petrified

Curled up in the corner of her room in a ball

She said Robert tried to kill her 

Standing over her in her bed

Saying in a demonic voice

That soon she would be dead

Robert was soon put into a museum in Florida

Where he still resides today

Even locked in a glass case

The spookiness still seems to stay

Tapping on the glass at night 

But it even gets worse

If you take a picture  of him without asking

On your life he will put a curse

Annabelle and Chucky 

He will put both of them to shame

Looking into the face of evil

Robert the Doll is his name!

If I may, I like the story. I also believe I saw a documentary on such a doll. You have relayed the information well. However I am not very fund of the way it was written.

Please don't take this negatively, as I'm still an experimental writer, if anything at all. You write in a genre I love. I just think with some practice you can convey the horror and terror of stories like this. Choosing the right words and the right way to use them, will make a master piece.

Friendly advice. Cheers!

This was such a terrifying poem! I actually had to turn the light on in my bedroom. Lol. I've been casually looking over my shoulder & all around me for the past couple of minutes. Very well done!

Creepy! creepy! Creepy! I finally had to turn the radio off when the program was about this doll. I've head it several times. You did an outstanding job capturing this dark true tale in your poem. Shivers shivers

How you weave a world that feels so darkly real... the rhythm and flow only lend to the creeping sense arising around us... You know how to haunt the mind so well...

[Coyote Song]
