Lifes' Tapestry Poet Rhyme

A Little Girl Without a Doll

alone on a step,
cold, hungry and tired,
the girl awaits, 
to be aspired

abandoned, once sold,
whisked away, it was told,
she pines for the doll,
that lives in her soul.

a soul of care,
a moment to breathe,
a mothers memory,
cast out - seethe.

taken and used,
powerless, abused,
the doll a tool,
to amuse.

her isolated run,
kept hidden from some,
she sits in the cold,
awaits your arms - just hold.

Vladislav Raven October 31, 2018 at 9:04 AM Hi, you write from the heart, emotions wing across the lines you create to touch the heart. This is a write that plays so skillfully with the heartstrings. I read through the sadness and my emotions spill. You create a reality that does touch the reader deeply. This is excellent poetry my friend. have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs....Mike. XX
