Reena’s Xploration Challenge #238 – puppet on a string
Puppet on a string …. by Lady Lee
Like a puppet on a string
I do what I was told to do
Gracefully asprawl on cue
I dance, fight or even sing
Can’t leave for I have no wing
Feeling I just have to go through
Like a puppet on a string
I do what I was told to do
One day I promise to fling
Free from all this I flew
Just be me hope that’s true
See what the future can bring
Like a puppet on a string*

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #238- Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech …. by Indira
Prompt #238
We have a picture prompt this week.
Freedom of Speech? What’s That
I can’t smile and dance
or even put on a mask
Keeping one’s cool
becoming arduous task
I’m not a puppet
attached to strings
whom puppeteer can command
to dance to his tune
I’m perturbed
by what’s going around
You may be beheaded
by calling
a spade a spade
even if instigated by
a loathsome tirade
Challenge
It’s the turn of anti-gods to grab the chance offered on a platter, and unleash masked terror on the planet. It’s a challenge for gods to return and prove their existence. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/07/09/weekend-writing-prompt-267-return/

Photo Challenge #421
Sarah is our hostess for the MLMM Tuesday Photo Challenge. You can join in here

My image has no softness,
All angles and sharp lines,
No curves.
I could be smiling,
Or maybe puckering up for a kiss,
But my lips are hard and uninviting.
I was an idea,
A vision, a prototype,
But I represent nothing,
Not even a paper company
Or school of origami.
I am just here,
A face without a name or purpose,
A novelty for someone to photograph.
The Parody!
The Parody …. by Radhika
Exploitive gimmicks
strings of modern politics
man, a mere puppet!
The Waiting Game
The Waiting Game …. by Diana Coombes
Written for Reena’s Exploration Challenge #238
The waiting game.
We don’t need strings to move. That’s our secret.
We are watching you, watching you, watching you
from the back of the shop. Bundled together in a circle,
Waiting, waiting, waiting
for you
to make the mistake
of thinking
we are not here.
From The Eyes of Another
From the eyes of another …. by Michelle Navajas
From The Eyes of Another
i’ve learned the ways of the world in many different manners from different people.
from the eyes of a friendly neighborhood baker
who views life like a bread
that it isn’t just a food but a symbol and metaphor of a bigger journey through life
the best ones we keep the rest we just take a bite and let it go.
from the soul of an old town family physician who is a great listener and emphatic to the concerns of his patients
he is not condescending nor arrogant and treat patients as he wanted to be treated
most importantly he does his job with joy and gratitude
as we should always be in life.
from the magic tricks of a joyous party clown who makes every little kid hope for the best
that even things that are impossible may be possible actually
that things…
