"the puppet master"

willyweed

when the blue moon rises

in the broken October sky

a crooked smile crosses her lips

a tear in un-knowing eyes 

 

the puppet master pulls the strings

the puppet seems surprised

she dances in the moon light

in the yard where graves reside

 

moving to the masters will

she dances the dance of death

her tears fall like rain

soaking into the ground

 

the puppet master pulls the strings

she dances 'round and 'round

she'll dance until the masters done

and then he'll lay her down

    Unknown Forces are pulling the strings...👻👽👾

    Thank you WW for reading my poem.Please write more kids poetry and
    did we ever had Blue Moon in October? I know Fantasy, ,but why October?

  • Tropicana

    Is this about someone who's possessed or how people can't control themselves or something, loved the poem but please explain conmations, I'm really curious??

      Trop, for me its about God, birth, living life and death, the good the bad and the ugly?
      it could mean different things to others, we take away from it (the piece) what we will?
      no refunds. Thank you Trop for reading, and commenting. I loved your question, but only
      you have the true answer. peace ww

      THANK WW ~ POCO the puppet can do anything ~ if someone else pulls the string ! The World id full of Puppet Masters who want to fetter and control us. In today's databank society we all have e-mails phone numbers card numbers etc and everyone wants to get their hands on them. Young People (M & F) are being trafficked by evil Men for their own (and other's) pleasure. A Blue Moon is a scond Full Moon and is often tinged with blue. It can occur in any month except February which is too short. Beware of puppet masters and manipulators ~ they are everywhere ! Yours BRIAN
