Filled with imagery. Very clever take on this subject.
Some good wordplay too...
"Distortion meets abstract and curvation"
Great picture you found.

Hello there
Well, I am not sure that the cloak of censorship needed to be drawn over this piece; I suspect that the concept of 'smoking' is far more unacceptable than BDSM these days!
Still, a good write and a great reflection of the picture - if anything, I think you restrained yourself here; it could easily carry another verse or more: engaging
I wish you well with your writing
Cheers

'The Puppeteer' is an extremely well-written and intriguing piece. This poet's work was interesting to both read and review.

Beautifully creative and expressive in content
although I saw little to warrant the 'warning'.

The percieved explicit content is not graphic (to my eye)
and the reader would probably need to have been exposed
to the ideas portrayed via some other media, to appriciate/understand the imagery evoked. Although I do understand if you chose to err on the side of caution.

A well crafted, cerebral piece of work, that also touches the senses.

Thank you for sharing.

Laurie

Love the artwork. Very creative. Sexual indeed, but a young child reading this wouldn't find anything wrong with it because they wouldn't understand, which is why I think this could've passed for a general audience. The sexual conduct is written with elegance about what is crude. You don't waste words in describing things like:
"The puppeteer is led into performance,
Slaphappy puppet, pull and stretch,
Laughter rises, imitation Le Cirque,
But do tell of the excessive stimulation," Love that metaphor, "Slaphappy" Great! Les

Okay, Sunny, I am a bit confused here. I suspect this has to do with a Dominatrix whips and chains, but I can't be sure...LOl. I am pretty dense though, so pardon me...It Is well written, I am sure of that. Bob

When I saw the title, I expected it to be something that would terrify the readers. However, it was a very good way of mentioning several sexual possibilities that can be experienced. Very good.

I dunno how this one ever wound up in the ''pornographic'' section here. It's alot tamer than most of my book chapters that get by just fine with just ''language'' warnings. Thanks for posting it ... cheers

Great symbolism in this dark, deep poem, certainly written by an insightful, intelligent author. I have my doubts that this warranted the XX Rating you gave it. I am very pleased that I read your offering. I should also mention the very appropriate visual. JeffreyStone.
