What wonderful meter and rhyming. I love the internal rhymes.
It is a very smooth read, no bumps at all. It also tells a great story. A fable.
I truly believe people get their comeuppance. It may take a while, and we may never know it, but they do. 8-)

Aww, thank you so much, Yvonne, for giving me a 6 for my poem! I enjoy writing these Picture This challenges, but got so far behind. I'm glad you liked it, my friend, and I'm with you, I believe they have to pay their dues in the end. Big hugs my friend. :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Tessa Kay
This poem just goes perfectly with the picture and is easy to read as it flows perfectly. Love the story you tell and the final message. My favourite line was 'strings he'd tugged and left her mugged, will strangle him one day'. Great expression.
Very much enjoyed reading this, Sandra. :)

Thank you so much for the 6 lovely stars, Tessa! That is so kind of you. I'm really delighted you enjoyed this one, because I found it one of the harder Picture This challenges. But I do enjoy doing them. Thanks again, my friend. :) Sandra xx
Comment from Pantygynt
This is an interesting take on the picture. The puppeteer as the string puller who can get things done exactly as he requires. It happens all over this pinching of another's ideas and passing them off as your own. This is an excellent little in your trademark meter, iambic heptameter.

Thank you, Jim! It took me a while to come up with something different for this picture, some are quite hard. Thanks for you lovely remarks on it. I enjoy reading your reviews, I'm stuck on my heptameter, they are such a good style for story/poems. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra, I'm glad I've been frugal, so here is another six for you. What a wonderful interpretation of the picture. I love it. You write a story within the poem. Something you're so very good at. A joy to read. Hugs, Ulla xxx

What a lovely review, thank you so much, Dolly for the shiny 6 stars as well!!! That is so kind of you. I'm really pleased you enjoyed my poem. :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Heather Knight
I hope you are right. Very often those who advance in working environments are the least honest.
Your story reminded me of the film Working Girl, even though the plot isn't exactly the same.
Thanks for sharing.

We can all hope that a liar is caught out and a cheat is caught out. It might take a while, but they normally let themselves down somewhere along the road. Thanks. Maria, for reading and the lovely review. :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
I love to see the different takes on the pictures and your is indeed different but I love the symbolism of the pulled strings. Very well done in the inner rhyming. I admire anyone who does this

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Well penned, Sandra - a great story in a poem - with rhythm and rhyme flowing perfectly throughout. It's so sad that these things happen - I think he'll eventually get his comeuppance.
The trouble with lies is they have no legs and so others have to be told to support them until the person who lies continually, can no longer recognise the truth if it hit him in the face.

You are so right, Margaret, a lie is very difficult to hide after a while, you tend to forget the exact story you told. When they are caught out, it's very satisfying. Thank you so much, my friend, for the lovely review. :) Sandra xx

I learnt all that from my ex-abusive husband, who was a compulsive liar - he said himself that he'd told so many lies that he didn't know what was the truth anymore - truly, he did!!

You were best out of it, Margaret, you never know where are are with a liar. I know a few. Someone once said they would trust a thief more than a liar. I think I would too.

Oh so very true. Deceivers may look like they win, temporarily, but they always fail in the long run. Their true nature comes out. I enjoyed reading your story/poem. Good job of writing.

It takes a polished liar to be able to keep it up, and not many can. Thank you so much, my friend. I'm glad you liked it. :) Sandra xx

Bravo, Sandra! You are so good at making your poems into believable, perfectly rhymed stories. The sad thing is, it happens a lot in the workplace, and it's not always a man who's pulling the strings!
