Dr. Ram This is a very interesting and mind thinking write. Yes, possessions sometimes control us for many different reasons. Thank you for the nice comment on my Her Dream Boy poem.

I agree, our material things do possess us, more than we posses them. They say, "You can't take it with you", yet we continue to acquire more and more. I really enjoyed this unique poem, Dr. Ram! It deserved a top placement. Congratulations on your win, as well!

Dr. Ram THIS is one impressive poem you have written. one of your best and something I never really thought about before. I think philosophical would have been even a better motif. Congrats on your win. This is a fave for me.
