cute little puppet
marionette plaything
cut chrysalis cords
for butterfly wings
can't tie her up or
tie her down, both
feet off the ground
she's a flight of
fantasy, an errant
kite that wrapped
me tight around her
finger like a mellow
yellow lead balloon
bursting into a
nothing fling
yellow lead balloon
bursting into a
nothing fling
my girl on a string

Hey, that pic looks familiar! lol "cut chrysalis cords / for butterfly wings" What a cool sounding passage—half staccato/half smooth. Great 55
I missed OSS...so had to trim this one down a bit (ok a lot) to make it 55!
What a great poem. I love the great imagery!

I used to be that kind of girl. Then my balloon went flat.

Your 55 is a Jumpin!!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
I love this! Especially the photo and your words just make the picture soar off the page. I am glad you are playing. If you want to catch mine:

I like the ones you can't tie down! They are spunky. I've got a kid like that! :)

Fun reversal of how many would view of the situation. Made me smile, good piece.
