Glassy green eyes

SilverXball

Glassy green eyes

Stare up in surprise

Little porcelain doll

Going through withdrawal

Didn't expect you here

Better go, my dear

I'm on the shelf, life the rest

What makes you think, I'm the best?

I stand up here bored to death

I've been this way, every breath

Given a place, I can't move

There's nothing more I can prove

Glassy green eyes, hold up the mirror

I want to see my skin, pure and clear

It's to perfect, take me down pretty please

So I can see outside, butterflies and bees

I'm sick of this dusty room

She comes once a year, birch handled broom

Rises up the dust

Guess that's good enough

One day you'll find my replacement

Glassy green eyes, lavender and honey, sweet golden mint!

I am your favorite treasure

Greatest above all measure

But I can't spare another look

I'm just an antique story book

Glassy green eyes, says her goodbyes

Glassy green eyes, wish for great blue skies

    Love this poem SILVER ~ Boys don't have dollies (only living ones) ! My Sister had lots many of them ethnic. Even though she's married now with little girls of her own ~ she still hangs on to her Doll Collection. Your poem is beautifully crafted ~ rhyming couplets ~ easy to read and recite. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
