She stand and watches with
staring eyes
Don't blink, won't blink
On chubby legs with stockinged
feet shoes are made of leather
won't walk, can't walk
with hands turned out as in appeal
with fingers curved and fragile
Can't touch, won't touch
The clothes she wears in antique
vogue are dusty as with age
and hair as silk brunette was
all the rage
She's stood here now for many
years the stories she could tell
her cherub lips are sealed like glue
Can't talk, won't talk...........

I have a porcelain doll that has travelled the world with me and she still sits in Judgment .....

I don't mind at all in fact I would be honored

Very different perspective. Reminds me of a horror story I once heard about dolls, the sealed lips and open eyes allowed them to steal souls, well, it wasn't that scary, just kind of creepy. Again, keep it up. I'm loving your stuff. I hope you don't mind if I add you..

How true... Many thanks for your kind words of support, they are appreciated

I think we all feel like dolls soemtimes, because we all can shatter and break. We sometimes wear plastic faces to make ourselves look just like another bright shining light bulb amongst the rest of the light and then underneath we are just duct tape pieces of porcelian or plastic or rubber that lives to hide and does so to survive.
I caught such rendering spirit from this piece that it made a small pearl shaped tear form at rim of my eye.
You have such a beauty in your work.
much love,
James

Charming
It ended too soon for me.
I agree it's just as well she can't communicate.
That's whay you don't make love in a buggy, because horses carry tails.
Well done.
Having a model to study does make it interesting.
Does she get frequent flyer miles?
LOL.
Nice look into your domain.
Be well;

Quite an interesting turn around of perspective, done with good solid images. I've often wondered what inanimate objects might say if they could suddenly offter their vantage point..
I liked it.. well done!

interesting poem. i really like the idea behind it. i wrote a poem that reminds me of this, but it was personified, so it is different. the only part that rubbed me the wrong way was the repetitive line. other than that i really liked this piece.
-
awesome!!!!
Great write. Awesome detail. Unique, stylish and just random i suppose, but very interesting. -
reminded me of 'chuckie' in a way..guess I just love the dark aspect..dunno..but enjoyed this immensely!

I love this. You've really done an exceptional job, a very tight write with lots of details... very well done.

shockingly scary..the picture that is!
something about porcelain dolls never rubbed me the right way
anyway
this poem is wonderful! I love how it is written. I adore your style
i wonder what she is hiding..
i mean she never talks..
just another poetic mystery that desperately needs to be solved
thanks for sharing
take care,
