control me manipulate me ~ I am yours ~
I caress your ego ~ hanging off your every word ~
we both know we like it this way
cut my strings and I fall in a heap
~ without you ~ I am just a puppet…
with no puppeteer |

I love the creativity and set up of the poem
Amazing! I love poems that have movement to them, it makes the reader follow every word of the piece, journeying along with it. Its a beautiful thing.

I love the short, simple lines... metaphoric by itself for a puppet held up by strings. I think this is precious for its untethered sincerity alone.

What a metaphor too for some relationships where you are controlled... but don't leave.

While not much of a fan of form poetry due to finding it distracting, I really do like this poem. ANd it is so true how we allow some people to have such control of our lives that in the end we end up nothing more than a puppet. Unfortunatly in live you ahve to choose to move people or be moved by people.
