Sticky, sweet
scent of cereal bars
lingering
in her breath,
she wakes me to play with
little kid puzzles.
Hair curls rest
like soft yellow butter cream
on a porcelain
doll face
graced by
sweeping innocence.
She looks at me
and tells me
I'm "cooler than
Cinderella"

Ooooh, I love this! It reminded me a little bit of my little sister :)

I love the flow, as Powd3er kinda said :) You have great talent, I especially loved the last line.

Thank you for sharing your talent :)
