Life in Porcelain by Els G.
Enchanting Doll
Dancing on the screen
Life in porcelain
High Price
Bank account screams
Click button anyway
No email today
Refresh again - when, when?
Same tomorrow
Rubs eyes - disbelief
Email from Marina!
Hit reply before pass out
Slot grabbed
Beating heart - Now what?
Waiting is hard
So many faces
Which is right?
Change of mind number twelve
One hundred choices
Blue eyes or brown?
Impossible to decide!
Marina is waiting
No more time
Make up your mind, silly buyer!
Fourteen days
Fretful wait
Patience is the test
Hidden away
Magic commences
Porcelain limbs take shape
Paint from China
Soft sweep of lashes
Personality is uncovered
Knock on door
Postman - Thank God!
Patience flies out of window
Tiny creature
Trapped in plastic
Heart pounds - home at last
Enchanting doll
Dancing on the shelf
Life in porcelain
Happy birthday! I wish you a wonderful one and many happy returns
To mark the occassion, I have included a small gift. It's not much, but I hope it will make you smile. it's entitled "Life In Porcelain", and consists of fourteen short, haiku-inspired verses, chronicling the journey of the prospective Enchanted Doll owner. It is printed on beige, marbled paper in black ink, and framed in painted birch. The frame is not handmade, and is for presentation purposes only.
