The Puppet Show

PC: http://cliparts.co/clipart
Life is a stage; for a skit un-scripted,
Actors, forced to play their part,
Of all the roles, there’s one lead;
and that is - the protagonist Heart.
The show- a finished portrait of thought-
that the Mind beautifully paints,
Masked story with streaks of emotions;
some applauded glories & few pains.
Responses steer this tale of perception;
to be in distress or to be at peace
The puppet Heart dances to Mind’s conviction;
complying till rhythm of life cease.

# For Sanaa's Prompt nights [35] at "a dash of Sunny" #Brevity

      I am so glad you liked it!
      On a broader sense, isn't that the truth too... for certain or most instances, it comes to us as if it were so well planned... and we who go through it were so unaware of the happenings :D

    I really like the progression... How you carry us through the stage, moving and doing, until everything stops.

Path of life

PC: Mi Young Lee …and when the cassette began to rewind - I looked at what I earned and lost on my way. The reel showed a vibrant mosaic of colours; a patch of happy as well as bad times. No turns, no ups, nor downs but straight, I assessed the path of my emotional life. All the grouch seems useless now, time had been kind and always on my side. With every dark patch it offered a light zone, And all through with love and support of the own… In response to Susie's "Bits of imagination" at IGWRT .

This week at Imaginary garden with real toads, poets frame queries in "Fashion me a poem", using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson's 'Answer July' Here's one on the dilemma on which is the best phase of life - past, present or future:  PC: www.google.co.in Answer tomorrow -  What do you hold - Where lies my smile - Which way to memory? Sighed tomorrow - Are you bold - Can you laugh every while - Yester is remembrance already! I am gone - said yesterday - What did I teach - Where is the dream - Do you wish to deem - What is it today? Frowns today – Is past the leisure I had – Is future good or bad – How many more of me(s) to add? Exclaimed – life explained – Beautiful was yester – Upcoming not to pester – Today a daily fad! Live everyday – taught experience PC: www.google.co.in
