Little Girls

Little girls in dresses Kittens in their arms, Ribbons in their tresses Bracelets with charms Kittens in their arms Dolly by her side, Bracelets with charms Shoelaces always tied Dolly by her side In a dress like hers, Shoelaces always tied And the kitty purrs In a dress like hers Not one speck of dust, And the kitty purrs Attention is a must Not one speck of dust Ribbons in their tresses, Attention is a must Little girls in dresses.

Dear Kelly, Such a tender ode to innocence and simplicity. Each stanza shows childhood charm and delight, evoking images of little girls with their kittens, dolls, and ribbons. The repetition adds a delightful rhythm, echoing the playfulness of youth. Your words capture the essence of childhood magic, where every detail, from ribbons to shoelaces, holds significance. A wonderful nostalgic journey into the world of little girls in dresses. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Kelly, your wonderful poem is beautifully expressed in the repetition of the Pantoum form. Such a sweet and lovely poetic portrait of "little girls". It all blends together perfectly in the last stanza. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

So charming, Kelly! There is simply nothing more appealing than a little girl in a party dress. Love the relationship between the "kitty" and the little girl. Blessings and gratitude for this poem illustrating this simple joy of childhood.
