perfectly written. well crafted. so true. we each have a mood that makes us move to its own dance like a puppet caught on strings. we each have our own desire to control it.

Now that's what I've been waiting for. A letter. You do these so well, Pupa. I really enjoy these little missives you send to your soul. Great writing, and gret perspective. Moods do seem to have control over us, but we can combat them with Vitamin B, and better food choices. Sometimes a walk or change of plans can make all the difference too. As you say - you wear the crown. Moods can can be wonderful. Its just the gloomy ones that need the kick in the slats. Rose.

I like this a lot PUPA. I like the style also. I believe what you say here and then there are times I just give in to the blues. They can be so powerful and painful. Blessings, Barbara

Pupa, this is a powerful and great message within a poem, which flows freely, and has good rhythm and rhyme. But more importantly, it conveys emotions and the strength of character to realise to take back one's power.
One small criticism, the 'Background' is unreadable, due to the colour of the font.
Warmest regards,
Marijke

HA! That's what you think, try as you might it always get's the upper hand. Though you smile, and try to be happy, when the old mood swings start to fly, it's hard to get the thing under control. I liked this very much, being the moody woman that I am.. Well done!

You have drawn a very exact picture of how moods affect our lives, and determine our outlook.
I like how you take your mood to task and declare that it is you who will dictate the mood, and not the other way round.
Excellent structure and rhyme.

    Hi Juliette,
    How I ended my poem is still only a wish!~LOL, but the intention is surely there.
    Thanks for your encouraging review, most appreciated.

    Yes, Pupa, unfortunately I think that is the case with most of us. (sigh)

The background paragraph cannot be read on my computer without using the highlighter function, but the poem itself is fine.
Monorhyme can so easily sound forced, but you employ it really well in this poem, Pupa.
I especially enjoyed the personification of your mood as the speaker addresses it, and I like the resolve the speaker voices to take control. Brooke :-)

PUPA,

The theme is cute. The flow is nice. This is a very detailed poem. Your descriptive words well chosen. This poem was arranged very well.

It's a very clean piece. I saw no SPAG and no typos.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I admired your presentation and the description of moods swings in the form of a letter. (I couldn't read the upper, dark text against the black background on my screen.) Your mono-verse for each "stanza" is quite appealing. I also especially liked your "toy" simile and "town" and "crown" metaphors, along with your "reach the sky" hyperbole.
