Porcelain figurines,
Made by hand
Multi-colored
Glazed, bejeweled.
They stand
Frozen-dancing.
One by one
Counting miniature
Smiles on full red lips
And vacant spaces
Ever so thin.
Fragile, delicate!
Be careful!
If you can,
Don't touch at all.
All it takes is a tumble,
An elfin fall
Broken, crushed, they
Will cost you as much;
If not more
Were they full.
