A Rambling Righting Riley - Shauna Riley Poet Free verse

Nesting Doll

Small
Joyful  
Laughter
Delicate
Beautiful
Loving
Tender
A salty tear
A hurtful word
Add an encasing layer
Cautious
Observant
Apprehensive
Forgiving
Forgetful
Curious
Loving 
A loud rip
Another piece gone
Add another hard layer
Ignorance
Dumbfounded
Crying
Sadness 
Wounded
Forgiving
Loving
A twinkle is gone
A star falls
Add a fortified layer
Unbreakable
Black
Insignificant
Ugly
Hollowness
Desolation
Resilience
Layer after layer
Wondering where’s the beginning
Of this Russian nesting doll
Built by life
