Sitting quietly on my shelf
There is a small poppet of a girl.
Her hair is long, straight and brown,
Her glasses perch upon her nose,
Her yellow summer-dress fading in the light.
Her eyes show a quiet intelligence.
She wishes to learn, to see, to understand,
To explore, to love, and to be loved.
But she sits on my shelf instead.
I made this poppet a year ago,
In my spare time, and for fun.
She was dear to me, I cherished her,
But I grew bored, and annoyed,
And I found someone else
That I could hold dear and cherish,
And so I put my former precious on her perch
To observe, but to never see again.
I do not get rid of her though,
Nor do I put her away.
She is a reminder, a testament
To everything that I hold dear,
Because, if it weren’t for that plaything,
I would have never found what I wasn’t looking for.
I love you Sarah.

I like this, but I don't think the "poppet" part fits in right.
Bands: Nothing right now
Truly Beautiful.
Anyone could feel the emotion behind the words.
Kudos to you yet again. 
Bands: Umm. Huh?
A poppet is a small doll, usually hand-made out of cloth. I use the term because I want to add emphasis to the fact that I made it.
Bands: 3 Doors Down, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Nickleback, etc.
Oh...... I just didn't think it sounded right compared to all the other words.
Bands: Nothing right now
kudos x2
Bands: Metallica FTW
How do you come up with all these poems? I seriously prefer them over Shakespeare.
Bands: No bands, but Rolf Koster, Uwe Kroger, Addo Kruizinga (as Rudolf and Death)
Nice.
Bands: Three Doors Down, Linkin Park, ect.
