Master of Puppets (Quatern)

by Ashleigh Skye   Jun 6, 2008


Tugging the strings of your puppet,
you can control their every move,
make them bow to your ever whim,
and then just drop them when you're done.

You stand in the shadows,
tugging the strings of your puppet,
watching them follow your commands,
while no one sees your face.

You let your puppets do your work,
only to swoop in and reap the rewards,
tugging the strings of your puppet,
in order to mask the betrayal.

A great puppeteer you have become,
and with you the show never ends,
waving with one hand while the other is,
tugging the strings of your puppet.

*Quatern: a poem with four stanzas, 4 lines in each stanza. The first line repeats in the second line of the second stanza, the third line of the third stanza and the fourth line of the fourth stanza *

    -Master of Puppets.

    Wow this poem is really strong. beautifully delivered with a powerful message to boot. I like the society idea behind it as well as the repitition. (I usually hate repitition but you worke it in to where it complimented the piece and made me keep reading.

    Cool poem I liked it. The format was nice. This poem was also different and the flow was good.
