Marionette

Wooden arms, 
vanilla legs 
dance on
Prague’s cobblestones,

painted eyes 
haunt 
the musical sway.

    Prague is a city which I would loved to have visited during my previous ramblings... This poem brings to mind the puppet shows on the streets. Congratulations on your win, Lee. Su

    I have enjoyed reading all of the poems for this contest. Every one is special because each poet has thier own arrangement of the 14 words. I like the way you isolated 'haunt' - gives it more power.

    Thanks Joann for your kind words. I find the poems that restrict the number of lines/words are more difficult than others. Appreciate your feedback. Lee
