Amy Green Poet Rhyme

Antique Abyss

Upon an empty shelf in a place
No one can remember sits a doll in lace
Frilled collar, Elizabethan taste
Blue eyes twinkle on her face

Cherubic lips ready for a kiss,
Dusty blond - of a quality long missed

Alone on a shelf she just sits
Waiting for someone to remember her 
in her antique abyss.

John Lawless April 12, 2014 at 4:45 PM Amy, just stopped by to sample some of your poetry. This one is lovely. A sad story in such brevity. A fate all to many must endure. I think I picked up a little metaphor on life here.
