i was trying to tell the readers about a man that live like puppets, abandon their own will to do what others told them to/ to please other. They succeed in path of life which they don't like, I don't know if such person existed. Uh, and feel free to view my friend's blog,http://rysaaann.blogspot.com/p/1.html


I found a puppet;
made of wood, garnished.
It keeps smiling;
Even on its hard back,
Pierced a dagger, so deep.

I bought a puppet;
Soft and well decorated.
It won’t make a move,
If I am not there;
to wore it to my hands.

I met a person;
So charming, beautiful as,
the summer in the winter.
Walked the way only to caught;
Attention, adoration.

Alas!
The person is lifeless;
So much alike the puppets.
Live his life under others;
Behind, he left his dreams.
Loving in secrecy is my specialty.
What if...I was never here in the first place.

I thought that the comparison between a man and a puppet was very original and neat! I loved the wording used to describe the smaller details! The only two mistakes I found are the verb tenses... maybe catch instead of caught and wear instead of wore? But otherwise, this is a great piece!

Keep writing!

whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into
mutual weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

The first line of each stanza were very good. The repetition added to the poem. I love your comparison between man and puppet. I think it does say quite a lot. The way you describe the puppet is as if it is coming to life. Then you transfer to talking about man. Very good! I would just watch your capitalization. Each line of a stanza should be capitalized. All in all, great poem!

I agree with the other comments that it was a really imaginative way how you compared a man to a puppet. I have never read anything like this before and I really really really liked it! It had sone amazing imagery in it. I could imaging everything so clearly, and basically, I thought that this poem was genius. I especially love these particular lines in the poem-
Live his life under others; Behind, he left his dreams.
I just thought that this was the most perfect comparison between a puppet and a man. It speaks to me as how a man is being controlled under others like a puppet, and along the way, he forgot and turned behind his dreams. This truly was a fabulous poem. It was something new I've read, and I'm glad I dis. I look forward to reading more of your work!



"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
