Kelly Deschler Poet Pantoum

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.

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 2, 2024 at 4:32 PM 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
