the person I want to be

                      the person I want to be 

  is certainly not to become ~ some idealistic wannabe 

  but definitely one ~ that pursues a legitimate fantasy 

  hinted a ventriloquist to his puppet ~ lost in soliloquy

Kim Rodrigues September 13, 2024 at 8:30 AM Great humor, David! In a wooden way, he speaks, not the he who has no voice but the puppet! David Kavanagh September 13, 2024 at 8:59 AM lol! It’s quite possible Kim they are all talking in a wooden way, yet not one word is heard only implied, glad you enjoyed, cheers David

Lin Lane September 13, 2024 at 6:02 AM What a wonderfully novel way to introduce a soliloquy taking place, David! I'm still thinking about the possibility of pursuing a 'legitimate fantasy." Oh, why the heck not? If it's a fantasy, who can say it's not justifiable? David Kavanagh September 13, 2024 at 6:44 AM Well the puppet certainly won’t object Lin, lol! and if it does, it’s only an idealistic wannabe, a lot of metaphor going on in this one, (who said that?) gotta be the Damn ventriloquist, which is possibly me in soliloquy, cheers David
