She's Breakable

She’s breakable as if she were fine china used for tea, a cup one holds and sips from daintily. Her arms are porcelain, for she’s a doll She needs so much for one who is so small! I‘d use MY limbs to shade you. I’m a tree and solid. . . yet I’m liquid like the sea! I’m durable, for I am standing tall, while she’s a vine that crawls along your wall . . . So delicate, your little chickadee. She’s sapping you; she’ll never let you be. Yet here stand I, prepared to give you all! She’s fragile glass that you must not let fall. She’s breakable. For Joe Flach's contest: The Earl of Sandwich

Love the poem. I can't handle fragile. I'm like a bull in a china shop.

HUmmmmmm? I might have blown this one, but I have known women like this - so dainty. No amount of tic tacs would be enough, no amount of flowers, no bad language. A belch? A fart? OH, God! She Would wilt like a delicate orchid. I spent considerable time on this one. It was worth it. LOve, Dave

i hope she can be pieced back together, but sometime when a great fall may come, she may not even be able to find herself to glue every piece back.but even still, theres some kind of way, even if its crazy. a wonderful write, Andrea.. ~Always&Forever Lynette

Good luck in Joe's contest, and I'm sorry about the name. I'm half asleep trying to read poetry without my glasses, bad idea!

Luv, Andrea- "So I wrote"if you read `Foolproof` and then the comment PD made on that one, you will see the whole picture- and `you` meant everyone here on PS
