Attached to strings,
Puppets perform on screens,
Stirring up emotions.
Pandas, black and white,
Ignoring the cameras,
With eyes closed tight.
Let your self-defense
Be the most present tense,
Will life make more sense?
My bed is a boat,
Ducks quack, not to be sold,
Let our thoughts freely float.
Lovely words that go perfectly with the images – this put a smile on my face
I like the whimsy!
“My bed is a boat.” I love it. : )
I enjoyed the 3rd stanza, quite thought provoking, enough to feed my thoughts all night. Enjoy the potluck!

Enjoyed the array of verse you’ve presented here.

Very nice.
I think poets are the best at letting their thoughts freely float:)Well written Jingle!:)
Dug the animal imagery. Your poetry is very clear-eyed, and I mean that in the best way possible. Inherent honesty and kindness bleed through everything you write. I always enjoy stopping by to sample the wares and enjoy the good vibes. Take care of yourself & keep up the fine work.

This is the perfect month to let our thoughts freely float!
I love the one about self-defense.. Thought-provoking and also about letting go and be free…
Oh yes, TT is up for this week…
*HUG*
Lovely words! I like the message of the puppet master. I feel like that is how the news is presented. So frustrating. I wish the puppet master would stop making is puppets exaggerate the truth.
So many different thoughts craftfully addressed. lovely.
Great use of rhyme in a free and liberating way.
nice work Jingle…let your thoughts freely float…really like that…bkm
Very nice Jingle

Someone is Special
they are so very beautiful jingle, each and every one of them. very, very well crafted collection of poems.
loved them all
Bravo! Such delight. I always look forward to the creative way you illustrate as well as to your poems. I think I particularly love “My Bed Is My Boat” – quite a little fancy. Clever.
A fun series of verses, my friend!
Very powerful words, full of insight and wisdom.
Thank you for sharing.
