The Master Of The Puppets Strings.

by Spoken Silence   Jul 25, 2008


Condemned to do what is told,
Forever unable, forever disabled.
The puppet swings,
As the puppet master plays with his strings.
Crying inside for the puppet only has one guide.

A master that plays with his emotions,
He cannot fight back nor can he scream.
His only movement is with the puppet masters strings.
The puppet thinks, though no one can hear him he says,
"My emotions mean nothing, they are just bottled together,
In a frame for no one to hear, or no one to see,
These emotions are dead, and the meaning of love is unsaid.
For I am just the puppet, I do what is told, no questions asked."

I am the master, the master of a puppet.
Controlling emotions, deciding movements.
I play with my puppets strings for all to see, and enjoy
My puppet dances, my puppet swings,
Audiences love this character that I perceive,
Though this love is meaningless its still said.
They are in love with a puppet and I hold its strings.

    This poem did sort of lack some structure. There appeared to be a lot of places where you put too many Stanza's together.

    The second one is a prime example.

    A master that plays with his emotions,
    He cannot fight back nor can he scream.
    His only movement is with the puppet masters strings.
    The puppet thinks, though no one can hear him he says,

    the first two are over shadowed by the bottom two. I think that you should break them into two's.

    I'm not saying that this poem is something that I'm not happy I have read. I enjoyed the read and it kept me thinking about something.

    I LOVED the metaphore and wished that you could have extended upon the poem. I think that it's a really good poem, it was just that the up and own flow and syllables took away from it.

    I hope that this advice is able to help you in your next poem.

    In the tittle since they are the puppet's strings you should have an apostrophe to show ownershipt....'

    First off, I love metallica's song puppet master. :D:D:D <3<3<3

    His only movement is with the puppet masters strings

    master's-the ownership thing again.

    In a frame for no one to hear, or no one to see,

    The metaphor here was great, I felt and would be a better word used than or in this case however.

    Though this love is meaningless its still said.

    Mwa ha ha...wanna guess? That's WRONG! not for ownership this time, but to show it is it should be it's.

    Other than that stuff the concept was great and you did pretty well with flow and imagery.

    Five out of five.

    That was beautifully crafted. Through this I am able to picture a cynical side to the human life and how many people are like what you described as the master. A very enjoyable read. Great work

    cheers, josh

    oh and where abouts in the Philippines are you from?
