Bravo--an excellent write, Cass. I especially like the last two stanzas. Written well with a powerful message. I didn't write a poem for that Picture This post because I had my foot op and couldn't get in the mood. Getting better now, though. Marilyn

Dear Marilyn Thank you for your review and the awesome SIX stars. Yes, I looked for your entry, but remembered you had told me of your foot operation. I am glad that is over and you are recovering well. Er, You are getting better dear aren't you?? So nice to hear from you. Take care of yourself cheers Cass

Hi Cass. Yes, getting better, but it's been a long haul. Now I have a partial weight-bearing boot. Soon, I hope to be on my own two feet. Thank you for asking. Hugs, Marilyn

Dear Linda, Thank you for your review and the awesome SIX stars . Yes, all you say about men marrying for control is true. And you are right about a woman needing to have a place of her own and staying to make the marriage work. Well said, well spotted. Thanks again my angel Lol LoL XX L cheers Cass

Dear Friend ,Thank you for your review and the five stars. Yes, the picture IS inspirational. I took one look at it and said "poor little thing" and the poem took off from there. thanks again cheers Cass
Comment from mermaids
Excellent use of words that brings out emotions in the reader. I feel for this little girl on a string. But you also remind the reader how we often are held by strings. Your poetic form is smooth and fits the picture perfectly.

Dear Mermaids, Thank you for your review and the five stars. Your comments echo those of many another made regarding this piece. The poem was written while my Muse (she who must be obeyed) was dictating, so I just got it down while it came. Thanks again. cheers Cass
Comment from frogbook
A wonderful interpretation and very well said. A lesson in life and letting others control your feelings and what you can or cannot do. Great description of the poor little thing.

Dear JoAnn, Thank you for your review and the five stars. The picture is so evocative with the sad little face gazing out with pleading eyes. I just wrote as it came to me and am quite pleased with the results. cheers Cass
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, The Marionette, takes a lot from the artwork and expresses the general sense of captivity. No one likes to think they are trapped and subject to the will of others. I like the unique AABCCB rhyme scheme that you developed here. Nice job with this.

Dear Bill, Thank you for your review and the five stars. The rhyme scheme just "happened ", with no real thought of what to do. That's usually how I write when Madame la Muse is in charge. I am glad you liked it cheers Cass
Comment from JennaG
This is beautifully written! I like the comparison of the marionette to those who live their lives trapped in bad situations or relationships. It's an inspiring piece with extremely skillful rhythm and rhyme. It's been so interesting to read all the different interpretations of this artwork. Yours is definitely one of the best I've read. I really enjoyed reading your poem! :)

Comment from Irish Rain
So very true. We can never know our own music, or dance, while controlled by others. Cut those strings and live!! Wonderful, blessings...

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Cass Carlton
you have written an pathos poem (in rhyme) that describe exactly how a child would feel as if she was under the command of one that doesn't know how to show love.

Dear Gert, Thank you for your review and the five stars. Your take on the poem is slightly different from others and something tells me you speak from the heart. Well done if you have escaped the bonds that bound you. May life be all you want it to be. cheers Cass

Comment from godlucifer
one's thought is one's life. one's control is one's past of controling life. sometime life is control by another body. sometime we can't control ourselves and when we let this happens,others control us. your poem was written with thoughts that rhyme. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.
