Lost Doll - Contest
Her painted face
Upon the shelf
Where once did grace
Alongside Elf
Alas no more.
His love forlorn
The Christmas spirit
Tattered, torn
Where once she sat
More than a toy
She was his girl
Adjacent boy
In stillness, hearts
Would thump and clatter
'til Jolly man
Those dreams would shatter
To distant land
New life begin
Her tears down cheeks
Of porcelain
