Little girls of all ages

Pigtails, Nursery Rhymes, Bloody razors,Bleeding eyes. Little girls of all ages, Expressing secret inner rages. Sickles and saws "Pat-a -cake, Pat-a-cake, Baker man,Bake me a cake as fast as you can" They sing,as they fling, Knife blades and each a sharp bloodied string. I sit there petrified and speechless, Watching them play with each other; unless were they playing at all? **The author dreamt this scene repeatedly in the winter months of 2004**

I like this. Horrifying, yes, but a nice rhyme structure and fantastic imagery. If you've got other poems like this lying around, I'd love to read them!
