Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

The Lost Doll Ld

The lost doll was soon replaced
by the kind stranger, poker faced,
who said the doll looks not the same,
having changed both face and name
but may yet be by the child recognised,
by its touch tender and smile undisguised
and so by this well intentioned tale spun,
the lost doll and child again became one,
for what was relevant was spirit, not form,
embrace of innocence, beauteous and warm.

Christuraj Alex July 16, 2023 at 8:46 AM "what was relevant was spirit, not form, embrace of innocence, beauteous and warm" - Indeed, it's absolutely true. Beautifully written. Unseeking Seeker July 16, 2023 at 9:40 AM Thank you, dear Chris!

Valsa George June 15, 2023 at 9:50 AM "the lost doll and child again became one, for what was relevant was spirit, not form,"...... Beautifully said. Though the doll underwent total change in its appearance, the child could recoignize it as the relationship was between the spirits. A beautiful entry for the contest. All the Best dear Seeker friend. Unseeking Seeker June 15, 2023 at 10:41 AM Thank you, dear Valsa
