Mrs. Popularity

just a little vented frustration

Such superficial aspirations
They plague you my dear
Tell me darling
Is your mind lonely?
No penny for a thought
For you cannot pay for nothing
Your imagination
So predictable and stereotypical
So dull and lacking
Much like your personality
Oh how you poke fun
At the unique and different
Though they have
The courage to be an original
Dear Barbie incarnate
I only wish to share the truth
You are as interesting as
The plastic doll you resemble.

Ha-ha! What a fabulous poem!

[C.C. Marx]

Why thank u, I think u would find it interesting to know that the title I thought of later for it was "ode to a b***h" :p

[BL]

Nice attack and well justified, like the closing 2 lines, they really add the killer blow to it.

[C.C. Marx]

Attack? Haha didn't think I was being too malicious ;) it was well deserved in my opinion!! Thanks for reviewing :)

[Glee]

Nice way to pass a point across. Well said. I particularly liked this line:

Your imagination
So predictable and stereotypical

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you for review, I like those lines too :)

[headoverheart]

I'm definitely not a Barbie incarnate :) this is to the point and holds some truth. But i have nothing against mr&ms popular, they have as much ups and downs as I do :) so there, keep writing and enlighten us more :)

[C.C. Marx]

Not all popular girls are evil, but some are about as interesting as watching paint dry though they think are their own personal reality tv shows, but hey all opinions are welcome here. Thanks for reviewing

[beautiful dreamer]

wow this is great!!

[C.C. Marx]

Thanks for checking it out!!

[beautiful dreamer]

your welcome!

[SHEEMA HUQ]

there is nothing like a good old fashioned considered, yet biting response to those who annoy us the most, expecially when when we feel we have been 'got at', as it were....

[C.C. Marx]

Thanks for reviewing sheema, a biting response is healthy once and a while :)

This is such a beautiful and pure piece. I thinks it's absolutely fantastic. Many people share your views, so it gives the reader something to relate to, but none that I have seen have expressed their feelings on this topic in such a fashion that you have.

Every line flows fabulously and everything has it's place. Nothing is unnecessary and you don't add words just because they sound cool. Yours thoughts have been displayed brilliantly in this piece.

The only thing that I can say to maybe improve it a bit is every line is capitalized. It you were to have only a select few capitalized I think it will have a greater effect on the reader.

Anyway, fantastic. I love it. :)

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you so much for the fantastic review!! I'm so glad you could relate and enjoyed it, I will definitely keep the capitalizing thing in mind next time. Thanks again

[SheActsLikeSummer]

:) No problem, it was my pleasure. Keep up the good work.

[Irfan Bashir Shah]

True in every sense...... Nicely penned down!
The last four lines made me laugh a little.....
Well done!

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you thank you!!! Don't prentend you don't know a few barbie look-alikes

[Irfan Bashir Shah]

I do know some... The question is: Who cares?

[C.C. Marx]

Cant say I have ever aspired to look like a plastic doll

[MOON]

This plagues so many not a specific age group , people fear the different and the media reinforces dress looks style over substance and the sheep follow...

[C.C. Marx]

The sheep will follow whatever or whomever they feel will get them farthest, thanks for the review!!

Popularity.. Such a funny thing..
I see so many woman who have found it on the Internet, that did not have it in their real life school days. They cling to this new found sense of importance as if their very life depends on it. Mowing over others with verbal abuse if they feel even the slightest threat to their position. 13 or 30, Male or Female, real life or fantasy world.. For some of these people it will always be.

A good write. Your thoughts come across very clearly in this piece.

[C.C. Marx]

That's an interesting connection I didn't think of!! Here I was limiting it to on socially but you are quite right as well. Thanks for revieewing!!
