Well crafted metaphor with the puppeteer David. Excellent rhymes make this a high finisher even though you faint with the unfaithful in your thematic. Courageous choice. Well done.

Thank you Greg, I’m delighted you dropped by, indeed I have more faith as a free thinker now, unhindered by organisation, only restricted by my own imagination, I was delighted with the placement, cheers David

Heya Sam, was great to get a good placement, indeed it is all metaphorical, sometimes I prefer the abstract to appeals to a different part of the brain, cheers David

Thank you Alexis, It’s a soul searching write literally, I love to ponder the meaning of life, and try put it into a poem, and if it provokes some thoughts with the reader, all the better, cheers David

So what’s the puppeteers end game Christopher, I have to keep probing, if it cannot be found in life, I must examine death, cheers David

So interesting and thought-provoking. Amazing how much can be said or implied in a few short lines. Good job!

Thanks Milton, sometimes I do get surprised myself, at the power of just a few lines, only those who have an open imagination will see it, cheers David

Heya Darlene, thank you for the visit as always, hopefully my metaphoric strings leads us all to the metaphoric puppeteers, cheers David
