China Doll

Post by Chessgirl »

I’m still working on this one. Just wanted to get an idea down


Stares off
Head in fog
Floating away
China doll

Child paused
I went away
They did this
Growth delay

Parents there
Honor them
Bible says
Don’t be grim

Here I am
They are gone
All grown up
Fate drawn

Chessgirl,
I'd love to see an aquarell of this. Can picture China Girl floating far away until she gets to a safe shore where she can come out of the water to finally grow skin and flesh. This is really good.
