Ode to My Barbie

You remind me of dear childhood days
Hair and cheeks glowing under sun's warm rays
My best friend Elaine and I had fun
Braiding your hair into a lovely li'l bun

Those nasty boys next door told us
Barbie dolls ain't no good at all
They're lacey and frilly and too much fuss
But Elaine and I, our eyes would just roll

One day, Elaine came to me
"I can't play with dolls anymore," she said
I went home wondering and with my eyes red
Elaine had believed what those nasty boys said

I didn't see Elaine for quite some time
So I decided to pay her a visit
When I knocked,she wasn't there
No, I couldn't find her anywhere

Will you be like Elaine, Barbie?
Will you leave me someday?
Don't throw that questions back to me
I know true friends should always stay.

OhJasmine~
This one just brought memories flooding ...
my now grown daughter still has that toy chest full of her Barbies ... and slowly they will make their way into the playful hands of my granddaughters ...~

I'm going to send my daughter this one ...
she will be as touched by it as I am~

This was very different from what I usually read in this forum. But I think that it's a very good different. It was a cute concept with a sad ending...I can envision a small girl so upset that her friend left her, confiding in her Barbie. That was a great write. Thank you for sharing it.

this was a very interesting poem. a theme can be expressed from any one of several sides, and this was a very unique avenue you chose to do it with. I like it a lot...good job.

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.
