Spare a glance for my replica
It is meant only for you
to be held only by you
Her eyes sparkle with curiosity,
unlike my lifeless ones
She would swing to your whims,
while my hurting legs stay in place
Her black nails,
so like my own,
would subtly remind you
to hold me in your memories
long after I am gone

Wonderful..! But you embarrassed me! My name n lights…sould be only thanks to you for your delightful way with words!
Thank you very much..well, my new theme does not highlight links..so I thought I would put your blog name in bold..Hope you don’t mind..btw, would you like to take part as well?
I just did, having seen your entry! Sorry for the typos before, by the way..
that’s okay:) and your entry was really very interesting..just read that:)
I thought I would play around a little and provoke with the story. A light one. I knew I could not write any poem after yours!

Yours was really wonderful..Light stories make a great reading..and all of us have our space, right:))
Oh, how bittersweet. This has a hint of romantiscism. Great writing! By the way, your blog is beautiful. 😀 Thanks for contributing this week, I hope to read more from you soon.

I just came across your blog today. It is lovely and the picture was inspiring. Thank you so much for the appreciation
lovely lines and picture!
Hi Soumya, Thank you so much for the kind words. How are you doing?
fine dear! just so many things i had at hand last week.its all over,but finding myself lost..
May be a new trend – illustrated poetry – apart from nursery rhymes and epics. The theme of manipulation, the puppet and the puppeteer works well.
Thanks so much, Ken. Would you like to take part? It would be a different experience…
Yes, I am in the process of varying backgrounds and fonts. I would like to experiment with photos, but I’d prefer to find photos for poems rather than the other way around – if that is what is involved – and there would have to be a suitable collection to select from. Sounds exciting whatever the requirements. Please advise.
Beautiful!!
Thanks a lot:)
This is a very lovely poem. I shall have to follow you. A true poet with a true poet’s heart… 🙂
Thank you so much. enjoyed going through your blog..Your haikus and poems are really lovely..and congrats once again on being published:)
Such an incredible piece…I’m such a fan of your work.:)
Hi Charlie, Thank you very much for the appreciation
You’re very welcome.
Say, I’m going to be posting a new blog in a few. Stay tune. My next poem might be a little controversial maybe the last lines of my writings will say it all. hahaha!!! Its awesome.
sure, will stay tuned:))
It’s posted now…:)
what an imagination!
Thank you so much, Sharmishtha:) It is a point of view..Do also go through the other ideas on this picture:))
Hehe! The black nails have been mentioned a couple of times now… I never batted an eye at them. They just looked color-coordinated to me.
I like the way you suggest the puppet as maybe a younger version of yourself. I am already finding that I am almost always a younger me in my dreams. How different is she than a puppet?
Black nails – just a matter of perception:) This poem was written as though the girl made a replica of herself and gave it to her loved one to keep it as a memory…This photo has been explored in many ways by different bloggers..I found your post on this very interesting too:)
