Dollhouse
Quite on the hill. Faceless children run around by a cave who calls them in with a signal straight and gazed. Walking a concurrent line with a retinue firefly disperse into a dome with a small wooden house in the middle. The great white and yellow king nested in his throne of groveling worms. A

Dollhouse of the Creep
Two girls were in the country when they found
an eerie house with nothing else around.
They went inside and then knew right away
this was no house where they should ever stay.
Old, broken dolls were scattered everywhere.
But worse than that was what was living there.
It was a giant, ugly-looking man
who chased them while grunting. The poor girls

A Dollhouse
A dollhouse is a palace
to an angelic girl of four
O, let her live there forever
innocent of trap doors

The Dollhouse
The dollhouse was a gift from us
For Chanukah, one year.
Our grandkids played a lot with it
And that’s why it’s still here.
On Fridays, when we babysit
(Though mostly they’re in school)
I do a bit of straightening,
But just in minuscule.
For I like when the dollhouse
Has its furniture all neat
And every little figure’s
In a bed, a crib or seat.
I

Life As a Dollhouse
Ken’s chest cracked open.
He’s on the table thinking of his doll.
A heart pillow clutched to his chest.
Barbie’s lost it. The fridge on fritz.
Ken should have handled this mess.
A tiny phone with a coiled cord
and she dials him up. Mr. Fix it
to the rescue, has her and Midge
scurrying to find a tool. Healing
qualities, he almost loosens

Home Sweet Home
Picturesque and simple with sweet little windows,
Tidy guestrooms beside stylish bedrooms,
A kitchen straight out of a home catalog,
All contain inside plastic walls.
Blush, copper, teal walls leading to a bathroom,
Cobalt blue hibiscus designs on matching tea sets,
Coordinating furniture in every room.
Delicate and perfect from the roof to the garden.
Impeccable ideal home, a tangible version of home.
A

No House For the Louse
My love said to meet him at three
where steaks were the best that could be,
the chophouse.
I waited a long time and then
checked his firm before searching in
the courthouse.
Maybe drinks with clients for biz?
I checked a fave place for this, his
posh clubhouse.
Nothing, was he up to no good
somewhere no man does as he should -
the

The Dollhouse
Our grandkids have a dollhouse,
A gift we did provide,
With furniture and little folk
To fill the rooms inside.
It's used a lot, quite lovingly,
Yet every time we come,
It all looks topsy-turvy,
Which defies my rule of thumb.
I take five minutes worth of time
To neaten up the place,
A task the long-lost child in me
Does readily embrace.
And once

Dollhouse
They see you and they want you
They take you and then play with you
They move you and they use you
Then they get bored and leave you
They lie about you, they tell stories
They play the victim and have no worries
You’re the bad guy, cause you fought back
They break you and turn your soul black
In the end

A Dollhouse Just Like Home
My first grandchild was turning three,
sweet girl with a motherly bent.
The perfect present seemed to be
a dollhouse; so, shopping we went.
She found one not by accident -
real bells for the front and back door,
three stories, carpet on the floor
two-car garage, a three bedroom,
kitchen and bath. Who could want more?
Memories on the breeze presumed.
She had moved

Dollhouse - the Sonnetina Rispetto Style
~Dollhouse~
(Sonnetina Rispetto)
I just love my pretty dollhouse
In it keep my dolls but no mouse
My dolls are so special to me
Some are very old but still nice
Many cost dear have high tag price
Clown dolls make me smile and glee
I just love my pretty dollhouse
In it
