Why is there a doll
hanging from a tree
with a smile on her face
for all the world to see?
Did someone brush her red hair
and polish her red shoes?
Was she loved and cared for?
Was she someone's to lose?
Or perhaps her situation is a result
of longstanding sibling rivalry
A moment of contention, an ultimatum,
a threat not taken seriously.
Or is she more than just a doll?
Is she a red haired sentry?
Standing guard over a a secret clubhouse
hidden amongst the shrubbery.
She must have been loved once, so dearly
but maybe her someone has outgrown her
and so they placed her in this tree
in search of her new owner.
