NaPoWriMo~ Shelved ~ #MeetingTheBar
She has been left alone far too long.
Dusty and forgotten
once loved.
Her body has grown tired.
Lack of use, lack of love
joints now seized.
Yet still the heart beats on
just a whisper
slowly running down, until
Rip, Zip,
tumbling into a new set of hands
no longer forgotten
buzz word now...DISCOVERED
One man's trash
now treasured
wound tight,
Bouncing from wall to wall
no direction
just the insistence she dance
en pointe
Oh how they smile
as she does their bidding
light as a feather
picked up and turned
purposely directed to
the next wall to stand in her way
and send her back for more.
Until, like all the others
they tire of her
no matter how perfect
and once again
she is shelved
in trade for the next best thing.
Victoria has brought "allegory" to the pub today for MeetingTheBar. A long day at work, a wicked spring cold, and a clogged brain has allowed this bit of fodder to escape from my pen...swing on by dVersePoets and see what might escape from yours! Also my NaPoWriMo for 26.04.12

Love this bit:
"Rip, Zip,
tumbling"
I hope she isn't made of porcelain.
