I really enjoyed reading it and I like the title. Puppet Show, makes me think of pinochio attempting to escape and become a real boy, or the creepy marrionets that a person controls with a pole in the back and seem to have a life of their own... Keep the title it gives the poem an extra edge.

"You can't run my life

Your love won't bind me to you..."

a very strong line! love it... I think you could have played up the imagery of the puppet (the strings and such) but other than that I think its great.

I like how you make one big metaphor out of hte whole poem.

Interesting poem, i liked it! _ Keep up the good work.

*The Goddess of Night*

u should be fond of it! Its really good. I especially like the lines 'i'm not you're toy, i have feelings too' its so true. Good poem :)

OK this is my nw favorite.

Love it! I really, truly do...it was great!

Very interesting, nice way of putting it too, I have one called 'Puppet on a String' i'm not sure if you've read it or not but I know the feeling. Nice work. Btw, let us know which poems you picked for the literary magazine (please say the spring day one!)
