paper dolls stare down from the shelf
ever watching,
the blue bedspread pulled straight
thomas-tankengine faces smiling,
the constant breeze is gone,
the dust has settled
toy trucks litter the floor.

really enjoy the precise images created here.

I do feel that "the constant breeze is gone" is your impact line...your last line. I've restructured the poem to show how this might be done.

Paper dolls stare down from the shelf
ever watching.
the blue bedspread pulled straight,
Thomas-tankengine faces smiling.
toy trucks littler the floor,
the dust has settled,
the constant breeze is gone.

yes i like it better this way, too, maybe i just need someone to have another look at it for me to relise this
