Porcelain Dolls Often they seem scary They seem to stare you down One dressed in a pants suit Another in a gorgeous ball gown Some passed down through generations Others a Christmas or birthday gift Filled with glass eyes and hand-painted smiles That never cease to give me an uplift The oldest in the collection Doesn't stand, but sits The newest addition to the shelf Seems to be throwing a hissy-fit One small schoolgirl With glasses & books in hand One all "dolled" up in her white wedding gown Looking closely, you can see her gold wedding band One named Marisa With curly red hair And a short little blonde They make a great pair One has an actual Frog in her pocket Around her neck lays A brilliant silver locket All of them different Yet in a way, they're the same All have sentimental meaning Each with a different name Each one unique In it's own way clever Through years of chips and cracks, Porcelain dolls will endeavor. I wrote this one ~B4~ my writer's block, thought I needed to post SOMETHING GOOD upon my return. Hope to get plenty of replies(!!!) LOL! Alicia A.

Hi Alicia! "Through years of writer's blocks you will endeavor" too. Very nice! I hope you pull out of it soon. I wrote a coincidental poem this morning called "Writer's Block?" It's in spiritual, maybe it would help, who knows? Glad you're back! Jester |

Nice one Alicia. Some of them are kind of scary. May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out. Irish proverb. |

I have a couple of dolls in my collection. I'd love to expand it, one day. They are so pretty to look at and it's nice to remember the person behind the gift! I love your poem! p.s. Just a little tip, Alicia, to encourage others to read, drop the (kinda long) from the title!! By the way, it's really not that long and you might be scaring away readers!  Denise |

First, I agree with Denise. I almost didn't take the time to read it (however, being a female, the title pulled me in). This really isn't long at all and I found it quite enjoyable. I can remember as a little girl being terribly frightened of some of those dolls. Thanks for the memories - I think. lol Very nice poem. ...BUMP... < !signature--> ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is....

This poem is very nice, made me think how special these dolls are for gifts, I always just dream of having a collection myself someday. Thanks for sharing this one with us. |

Now being a guy I havn't got any dolls...Honest But it did occur to me when reading this that these dolls could each reflect different times in your life...with their faces and all. I must look at my daughters collection closer. Needless to say I like your poem. Please check out my response to your response to THAT WORD. Jon |

Hmmm..Maybe I'm taking this strangely, but I come to think you're talking about more than procelain dolls here, or at least you could be. Then again, maybe I DO read too much into things. At any rate, it was a good poem. I could see the dolls in my imagination. I used to have a collection myself. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Hmmm.. My Grandmother gave me a collection of porcelian dolls I put away somewhere.. I'll have to dig them out again for a closer look.  Very good, I think.I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |
