My Beautiful Doll

By Nicole S. Berry

One of my favorite dolls from my childhood
had red strawberry scented hair I could comb
plus freckles on two sides of her nose
her eyes were the color of green
she also wore a matching red, white and brown dress
on her feet, were little brown shoes with white laces and hearts designed on them
as well as long, white socks with green stripes
there was also a pink and white bonnet all printed with strawberry motifs and white polka dots
her pet was a tiny, little kitten in the color of pink with white dots to match the doll's hat
this doll had a bakery Shoppe shaped like a luscious strawberry
her friends, which were also dolls smelled like other fruits and sweet treats
there was a snail cart which transformed into a picnic table for my dolls to sit down and enjoy make-believe strawberry ice cream
this beautiful fruit scented doll is one of my favorite things from the days when I was young

 
                      The name of this doll is Strawberry Shortcake
                 just like the dessert served during the summer.
