I find this poem unnerving. There is something innocent in it’s impressionistic qualities, giddy, and yet at the same time, repulsive. This is uncanny.

I hate the fact that you threw in the word voice into this poem - I hate it, it so does not belong, yet, it does; it is the crux, the weight, of this on-the-surface, silly, poem. To me this reads like a nightmare I never want to see. Shudder.

The ordinariness of this poem is disturbing as well.

It was inspired by a combination dream/nightmare. You describe your feelings of this piece almost identically to how I would have described it… That voice was so out of place, so creepy, it ruined an otherwise perfect dream. It sickened me. I woke up so angry but at what I was unsure…
