Haiku
It’s tea-time. Dolls are
propped in place at the table-
…watch what happens next…

Sid Philips lives next door
Andy doesn’t notice him, no-one does
but he exists
on the other side of the fence
Sid Philips seizes toys and re-tells
their stories in vicious bites
by plucking eye balls for their heads
hacking legs and torsos off
mix-matching to imagine monsters
for his own sadistic pleasures
skull and crossbones on his unwashed t-shirt
match his blackening young heart
sparking ambition as a future star-serial-killer
confined, for now, to his basement, bedroom
neglected back yard
but later
when it’s time for tea
and his toolbox is discarded
he sits upon his mother’s knee
kicks his little sister away
ignores her cries
that whinny insect, he’ll pick her wings off
later
he accepts his mother’s loving kisses
and her soft arms as a tonic to his nightmares
where no-one plays with him.

- Sid Philips is the villainous boy next door in the hit Pixar Disney flick, Toy Story.
Napowrimo Day 15:-In her interview, Blake suggests writing a poem in which a villain faces an unfortunate situation, and is revealed to be human (but still evil). Perhaps this could mean the witch from Hansel & Gretel has lost her beloved cat, and is going about the neighborhood sticking up heart-wrenching “Lost Cat” signs, but still finds human children delicious. Maybe Blackbeard the Pirate is lost at sea in an open boat, remembering how much he loved his grandmother (although he will still kill the first person dumb enough to scoop him from the waves).
