A Little Girl Without a Doll

Torn party dress Grass stained knees Dirt under nails A bruise on her shin Missing a front tooth grinning "I traded my doll for a skateboard" Smiling mum sighs "the beginning" 10/28/18 A Poem Of Reaction Poetry Contest Sponsored by Julia Ward

Such a vivid picture you've painted---so much more beautiful than the girl who plays with her Barbie doll!! ~ Gershon
