Flatsie Dolls
flatsie dolls pretty
in the eye of the beholder,
not for its shapely flesh
cookie cutout figures, shoes
positioned unnaturally
to their sides.
so what draws in the girly-crowd?
hair so plush, sometimes in pink
and a Shirley Temple dress
just below each cheek.
flatsies went out of style,
never glamour dolls
but bring a smile
when pinterest chances
a childhood peek.
