The Dummy

The clouds are ventriloquists and I am their dummy. I fall with the rain, fly with the wind, and slump over on heavy summer days. My wooden head so perfect that I've perfectly misunderstood my own place. I close the doors, draw the blinds, and stare into the mirrors. I speak unto my painted eyes and wait for a response.

Dear Anamika Your poem is intriguing. The idea of a puppeteer of the clouds pulling your marionette strings is fascinating. I love the last two lines. Bravo! Kathy
