Marionette

Wooden arms, vanilla legs dance on Prague’s cobblestones, painted eyes haunt the musical sway. Written by Lee Ramage September 23, 2012 For Nette Onclaud’s contest Septolet the Puppet

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
