Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Manipulation

Who holds the sands of time and a key of life in his hand,
manipulating our strings? The one who needs a reprimand!

Masked, the ultimate jester who keeps sun and moon apart.
Selfishly, he couldn't care less if he breaks a lover's heart

I'd turn his impish smile upside down so his lips wear a frown
and expose the jackanapes for what he is... a buffoon, a clown

Bill Baker February 25, 2024 at 11:27 AM Give in to him, Lin, turn that smile upside down. I enjoyed this fun read, my friend. Write On! Bill Lin Lane February 25, 2024 at 11:39 AM I think you meant 'give it to him' and not 'give in.' That is something I'll never do. Thanks for liking this one, Bill.
