i'll sway to music playing
Like everyone, i'm wooden
on a stage where i'll be saying

"You can't burn like me!
i see though eyes of stain
i turn to charcoal ash
then sketch the people's pain!"

pull my strings until i wave
to a crowd of painted faces
they applaud a puppet's god
despite wooden disgraces

she tore feathers from my wings
and poured tears into my heart
i'm clipping all my strings
i'm tired of playing a part

The thing I love most of all your work is the simplicity of it..

no puncuation..implied only-
and no capitalazation..
I find that so retreating in every way..
leaves so much to the imagination..

has a dreamlike quality..
your subtlety is unmatched-

I really like this poem! The use of a puppet on strings is masterful. The poem flows extremely well in dealing with no longer playing a part...being genuine. Format and style are great.

It reminded me of a book titled "Pulling Your Own Strings".... forgot the author?

Great write,

Will
